And Roger discovers a truth about his family.
How am I already crying?
Then he looks at his wife and whispers, Jenny.

The next thing you know, Jamie is digging a hold in the family gravesite.
The world is never right when these two arent side-by-side.
When some red coats stop the carriage to double-check everyone has the proper papers for passage, I tense.

The officer inspects Young Ian from head to toe and completely ignores Claire.
Can you say foreshadowing?
Young Ian has one goal, and thats to figure out a way to get to Valley Forge.
Rumor has it, thats where Rachel was last stationed.
Godspeed, Young Ian!
A Black woman answers the door, and Claire asks for Mrs. Woodcock.
Shes surprised to learn that the woman owns the house.
Claire wonders why Lord John is in uniform.
Did he return to service?
Lord John explains that he wears this uniform for protection.
Not his, but for Mercys protection because she is for independence in the colonies.
He remembered her experimenting with it before and figured she could use it on Henry.
This means that the Saratoga gang is back together again!
Claire and Denzell geek out over surgical things as the scene switches to Rachel and William in the market.
Then he softens and tells her that instead of being in the army, hed rather be with her.
Rachel knows that William is too good to be a deserter.
He would never find peace if he broke a vow to the British Army.
The moment is interrupted by Rollo running off at top speed.
Young Ian must be nearby!
Rachel sprints in the same direction as Rollo.
A figure steps into the road, but it isnt Young Ian.
Remember how Young Ian accidentally killed his wife after the fire at Frasers Ridge?
And Mr. Bug vowed to make Young Ian pay by killing his favorite person in the world.
At the time, that person was Rollo.
Mr. Bug quickly figures out that Rachel may be the one who his nemesis needs to see suffer.
This is hella awkward since Buck is technically Geillis illegitimate son.
While shes gone, Roger explains that the healer is actually a time traveler who he met in 1968.
Shes the one who believes in blood sacrifices and kills her own husband to travel through the stones.
Buck wonders if she knows Robert Cameron from her time.
This cant be a coincidence, can it?
Why would Robert kidnap Jemmy and bring him to this year?
Geillis finds Roger snooping around, and instead of getting mad, she hits on him.
Who cares that both parties are married?
Geillis finds his lack of enthusiasm odd and deduces that something grave must be troubling him.
Roger boldly tells her that his son has been kidnapped by a fairy man.
She only asks if Roger believes in fairies.
Im looking at one right now.
Geillis claims she doesnt know that person but would love to meet him one day.
Do we believe her?
Theres no time to consider it since someone is knocking on her door.
Hes looking in the face of his relative.
And Bucks father, who gave him up.
He eventually snaps out of it enough to concentrate on what Dougal is holding.
They are charms one of his men won in a game of dice off of a fairy man.
Roger doesnt recognize them, but he does ask to keep the charms.
Roger and Buck dont seem to mind.
I guess this needs to happen for these two jokers to eventually be born.
Which belonged to his father.
Who went missing in action flying for the Royal Air Force.
The fairy man is not Robert Cameron.
The fairy man is Rogers father.
Rogers not the only one who is shocked.
The ether has worked!
And the surgery was successful, thanks to Claire.
Our heroine steps outside for some fresh air.
Mercy follows and Claire praises the woman for being calm in the operating room.
Claire softly tells Mercy that she went back for Walter, but it was too late.
She was there with him when he died, and he spoke of her fondly.
Denzell laughs, pointing Ian to the stables, where his sister is checking on the horse.
He tussles with Ian and swings a hatchet down into his arm.
Mr. Bug straddles the young, wounded man, raising the weapon for a killing blow.
And he receives a bullet to the heart.
William lowers his gun.
He calmly instructs the pair to leave the body.
He will take care of it since no one would dare arrest him.
Ian must go to Claire to get patched up.
Rachel listens, and we later see Ians arm in a sling.
Both Rachel and Ian apologize to each other and Rachel quickly puts the puzzle pieces together.
Mr. Bug is the reason why Ian wouldnt tell Rachel he loved her.
Ian reminds Rachel that he did say it, just not in English.
So he says it proudly, in a language Rachel understands, and they stare at each other.
How will it work?
Rachel calmly explains that Rollo isnt exactly a dog.
And Ian has found a way to make it work with him, right?
Its a metaphor, people.
Lets not pull too hard at that string.
What Im hearing is that Rachel and Ian are finally together and are going to make it work!
Hooray for love stories!
Claire receives a letter from Jamie saying he is on his way to Philadelphia!
And by Young Ians quick math, he should be there any day now.
Claire is on cloud nine when shes interrupted by a crying Mercy.
Mercy confides that she is a spy and often takes letters out of the city for the Continentals.
However, the man she typically receives letters from was caught, and she knows she was followed.
She cant leave the house.
Claire is successful in her mission, but when she returns, she is greeted with some grim news.
A somber Lord John gently reveals that Jamie’s ship was lost at sea and there are no survivors.
Outlanderviewers are treated to a Claire and Jamie love montage mixed with images of a sinking ship.
Claire grieves in her bed and refuses to leave her room.
Without Jamie, life is nothing.
Take her to the gallows.
Lord John isnt having it.
If they take Claire, they can take Mercy, Ian, Denzell, and Rachel, too.
Its the only way.
She must take his hand in marriage to save everyone!
