And yes,Outlanderfriends, I know why he did it.

I understand the motivation.

It was not how I imagined this stop in Hillsborough to go down.

Jamie can go home.

It is on its way!

At the time, I was like, oh, Jamies playing this pretty cool.

But now I know, the whole time he was thinkingmurder murder murder.

Jamies ordered to go home, but Knox will continue the hunt.

and gives to Claire as a gift.

I guess you could say that of all cats, but still.

But alas, that confession will have to wait because Frasers Ridge is very busy this week!

Its true: Claire has made penicillin and successfully operates on Kezzie and Josiah.

It is disgusting but also a real power move and I respect this lady!

The patient is a Scot named Graham Menzies (a shoutout to some former castmates, perhaps?).

He is very charming and rugged and loves his dead wife like, so, so much.

He gives Claire all of those long-buried yum yum Jamie vibes.

Poor Graham dies of an unforeseen allergic reaction to penicillin and it hits Claire hard.

Claire realizes that it was Graham who really pushed her back on her path to Jamie.

That all roads really did lead her back to him.

Its been a real book fan-service-y episode, huh?

The more pressing Frasers Ridge drama comes by way of Roger and Bree.

You know the one.

Roger recognizes it from his time aboard Bonnets ship and confronts Bree.

Look where and when you are!

Remember the horrorshow that Bree lived through!

When he and his feelings have to traipse out into the woods overnight it was a welcome self-exile.

I wish he had stayed there for days.

He does not and thats all Claires fault.

He can see on Brees face, however, that there is more to the Bonnet story.

Finally, Bree tells him that Bonnet is still alive and in Wilmington.

Rogers reaction here almost makes up for everything thats come before.
