William faces his first battle.
Are we not concerned about time travelers showing up here and there anymore?
Remember, Cousin Buck is responsible for Roger’s neckending up in a noose!

Instead, he lurked and scared the children.
A quick Google search tells me that this jaunty red squirrel is responsible for teaching children about road safety.
How adorable is that?

We don’t know if Bobby is cool enough to be in the Tufty Club.
But he is cool enough for Jemmy to join him and Rob tomorrow for a movie.
They find Cousin Buck watching TV with the kids.

I just might die of cuteness.
This means she has to take him to work.
The appropriate wardrobe doesn’t stop him from telling Bree precisely what he thinks about Rob.
He has feelings for her and is bad news.
Bree rolls her eyes at Buck’s possessiveness and questions why he didn’t return to the stones.
And thinking of your family should get you to the correct timeline.
The question remains, what was he thinking of to get to their current timeline?
It doesn’t make sense.
Later, Buck tells Roger that Rob Cameron has “hot eyes” for Bree.
It’s the same as when he went through the stones.
Does that mean his family pronounced him dead when he disappeared?
Or that he gets back through and still dies?
Or is it a mistake?
Roger provides the same information to Bree, who wonders if Buck wants to return.
Then he tells his wife that Buck thinks Rob is into Bree and she should watch her back.
It’s a haunting song, which is apropos since the next thing we hear is Mandy screaming.
She tells her parents that Jemmy is gone and can’t feel him anymore.
Then she points to her head.
She informs Roger and Bree that the bad man took him through the stones.
Roger runs to check on Buck as Bree frantically calls Bobby’s mother.
She hasn’t seen Jemmy and knows nothing about a movie with Bobby.
Rob knows about time travel and has read all the information about from Roger’s book.
This is not good news.
And why is Rob Cameron interested in Jemmy?
My guess is thata dead Spaniard guarding a bunch of goldhas something to do with it.
The captains seem eager to visit their wives and mistresses.
General Fraser (Angus MacFadyen) encourages the soldiers to eat hearty and keep their spirits up.
William figures that the higher-ups know something about this pending battle, and he wants to stay and help.
General Fraser obliges, but his eyes remain very sad.
The next thing we know, Ian (John Bell) has captured a British deserter in the woods.
If the Brits are cutting ties and trying to find a way out, things must be horrible.
That means the battle, which was supposed to start in three days, is starting immediately.
Jamie kisses Claire goodbye and joins his ranks.
His propensity to ask lewd or silly questions in dramatic situations is adorable.
William refuses at first but then smiles and says the name “Rachel.”
We hear a bullet whoosh through the air.
William flinches a bit and looks to Sandy for his reaction.
That’s when we see a thick pool of blood running down Sandy’s face from inside his hat.
He drops to the ground, to William’s horror.
At first, William can’t cope.
The surprise turns to rage, and William tears down anything that comes within range of his sword.
The aftermath is a sea of redcoats slain throughout the countryside.
Even though the death toll is huge, the British still celebrate.
This concerns William since they barely held their ground.
General Fraser checks on William, who is reeling that he lived and Sandy did not.
General Fraser tells him he is alive but will forever be a different man.
You send men to battle, and they don’t come back the same.
That’s when the scene pans to a still, bloody Jamie Fraser on the ground.
And will that same barrel of a gun one day be pointed toward his own son?
