Well look at this,Outlanderfans.
Its not like there arent some swoon-worthy moments.
and explains what hes back here to do.
Regardless, Claire informs Jamie that shes going with him.
You need my help, she says.
I always have and I always will, he responds.
And then I black out because holy hell that was hot.
Shes understandably upset, but her silver lining is that Bree doesnt know.
But, we have no time for such drama: Its time to talk about the Beardsleys.
In the woods, things get real weird, real fast, as is the Law of The Woods.
Josiah is like, thank you and good luck with that.
Claires like, whew, easiest adventure the two of us have ever been on!
But Jamies like, no, lets make this harder than it has to be.
He wants those papers to ensure Josiah and Kezzies freedom, you see.
The second time around, Fanny lets them in.
This is a true house of horrors, guys.
Its disgusting, and the smell alone has Jamie and Claire choking.
It goes on for way too long and shes being very strange about the whole thing.
You guys, like a co-ed in a horror movie, Claire GOES UPSTAIRS.
And then we find Mr. Beardsley.
The man… has seen better days.
And by that I mean he looks like an actual corpse.
Hes alive, barely.
Even worse: She sees a bowl of food by his decrepit side.
Its clear that Fanny has been keeping him alive JUST TO TORTURE HIM.
At one point Claire utters the sentence: At least the maggots have kept his wounds clean.
Its so Claire Fraser it hurts.
Shes been torturing him for how he treated her ever since.
When Fanny sees Claire trying to help Beardsely Claire took an oath to heal, remember?
the woman flips and tries to strangle him to death.
She gets in a tussle with Jamie, and hi, hello, could you have guessed this?
SHE GOES INTO LABOR.
So now Claire has to deliver a baby.
Remember when they couldve just left without the papers?
Things were so simple then.
Its clear from the baby girls skin color that Beardsley is not the father and Fanny is beyond happy.
Thats not nothing, Claire tells her.
Still, Fanny knows this child will need more than love to survive in this world.
Now, if this entire excursion feels a little extraneous to you, you are not alone.
What kind of world is this to bring a baby into?
Jamie knows it might be safer, but then theyd be without their family.
Beardsley also wants to be put out of his misery.
Jamie prays for their souls, and then outside, Claire hears a shot ring out.
Jamie did what needed to be done.
Now he wonders if Jenny lied to him about the details of their fathers passing.
Hes also worried that the same thing might befall him one day.
He makes Claire promise that shell put him out of his misery.
Tearfully, she responds, I will do what must be done.
but nonetheless, it all feels very ominous.
Claire and Jamie cant get away from that wretched house fast enough.
