Directed by: Mike Barker Written by: Anne Kenney First aired on April 25, 2015 The episode begins on the road to Lallybroch. The music from the opening credits continues into the beginning of the episode as the camera travels over the landscape of Scotland. There is a horse with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) on it, and they come closer into view as the seconds pass. Since Jamie now knows Claire is from the future, Claire tells him about airplanes as they stare into the sunny sky. The conversation moves to age as Jamie asks how old Claire is. "I'm 27," Claire responds. "I always thought you were about my age, or younger," Jamie replies. He does not care about her age, but makes a crack that when he is 40, she will be 245. She replies, "I think your calculations are a little off" (actually, in 13 years when she's 40, he'll be 237 in her time [he's 22 now + 13 years later + 202 years time difference]). They then crest a hill and in the distance is Lallybroch. Seeing Lallybroch for the first time since he was taken by the Redcoats, Jamie has a flashback to Jack Randall's (Tobias Menzies) treatment of his sister, Jenny (Laura Donnelly). After he sees this in his mind, Jamie's expression darkens. Claire can feel his change in mood. Even though it is a ways to go, they dismount and walk the rest of the way. Claire tries to calm his fears and trepidations about returning to Lallybroch. Jamie tells Claire that Dougal told him of rumors that Jack Randall got Jenny pregnant after raping her. Claire tries to remind him that those were only rumors. wee Jamie (Aaron Wright), away to find Mrs. Crook. She says, "Correct me brother, but I have a strong impression you're saying I played the whore to Captain Randall". A heated conversation begins and Jamie wants to know who the next child belongs to. Jenny then insults Claire by calling her a trollop when Claire tries to calm the situation. This makes matters worse as Jamie jumps to defend his wife. Jenny threatens to grab him by the balls to make him stay and listen to her, just as she did when they were kids. As Jenny begins to explain, a man with a wooden leg enters the archway and responds to the question asked about who fathered the children, "Mine, and that one too". The man is Ian Murray (Steven Cree), Jenny's husband. Jamie now realizes what he has just said about his sister. Ian and Jamie embrace. Ian asks who the woman is and Claire responds, "The trollop, otherwise known as Claire Fraser," while looking partially at Jenny. Jenny does not turn or change her expression. Jamie tries to apologize, but it is not received well. As she walks up the steps, Jamie flashbacks again to her being dragged down the stairs by Randall. In the "living room," they sit down to have a drink. Jamie cannot let Randall go and asks Jenny what happened with him. She agrees to tell him once and never again. The story begins in flashback fashion. After Jamie was knocked out by Randall, Jenny went with Randall back in the house and upstairs to a bedroom. Randall smells her head and sticks his bloody finger in her mouth, which is very disturbing. He gropes her and makes her grab his crotch. He kisses her neck and she takes that opportunity to grab a candlestick and strike him on the head. She tries to run, but he catches her. He throws her on the bed and slaps her hard. He starts to undress, including unbuttoning his trousers. And out comes little Jack Randall as he tries to arouse himself before sex, but can't seem to do it. Jenny laughs at him, and keeps doing it even after he slaps her again and again. He eventually knocks her out against the poster of the bed. He had left the house by the time Jenny came to. After Jenny finishes the story, she points out that Jamie was wrong and she expects an apology. Jamie thinks he already has in some way, and Claire corrects him and tells him to apologize. This gets stares from the servants, Ian, and Jenny. Jamie takes Claire away for a moment to explain that she cannot tell him what to do in front of his family, servants, etc. "I'm Laird, and you are my lady. We should both conduct ourselves as such." Claire replies, "I'm not the meek and obedient type." He replies, "I don't think anyone would ever make that mistake, Sassenach." As an example of the point he's making, Jamie mentions his uncle Colum's wife, Letitia. "Strong, respected, feared even. But she never crossed her husband's word in public." They return to the room and an awkward silence. Ian breaks it by asking Claire where she is from. She says she is from Oxfordshire, but Lallybroch is now her home. This surprises Jenny, as she did not expect Jamie to stay with a price on his head. They explain that a pardon should come through from the Duke of Sandringham. Jenny makes a snide comment about trusting the English which is clearly meant as an insult to Claire. Because the Laird is back, Jenny and Ian move to another bedroom, with Claire and Jamie settling into the Laird's bedroom. The scene changes to Claire and Jamie in the bedroom. Claire has removed the kilt from her body and you can see that her shift is still torn from the witch trial, but her corset is intact. Jamie looks around the room, remembering his parents. Jamie pulls a sword out from under the bed, where his dad kept it. It is a Viking blade, and Claire identifies it correctly. Jamie continues to reminisce about his father. Claire asks him when was the last time he saw his father. Jamie starts to remember his time at Fort William. It was a week after his first flogging and Jamie is being taken to Randall's office. His father, Brian (Andrew Whipp), meets him in the hall, and they are given a few moments together. Jamie apologizes for not protecting his sister, and like any good dad would do, he says it was not Jamie's fault. His father leaves him with a kiss on the cheek. Jamie sits in front of Randall at his desk. Randall explains that even if his father was able to get a pardon, it would not make it back in time to save him. He says that Randall bandied words about for awhile, that he likes to "play with his toys." Randall said, "It's quite simple. Give over to me, make free of your body, and there will be no second flogging." Randall tests his restraint, poking at Jamie's fresh back wounds. Jamie ultimately turns down Randall's bargain, realizing that he could not let the man break him or show weakness. Moving forward in time, we return to the setting of the second flogging. This time it is more focused on Brian and Dougal (Graham McTavish) in the crowd. Brian makes a sound and falls to the ground after seeing his son pass out or die from such a brutal flogging. Brian ended up passing away from an apoplexy or stroke. Jenny and Claire sit at the dinner table, awaiting the men to join them. It is awkward and Jenny is not welcoming. The men come in and talk about "Quarter Day," basically like what the MacKenzies did to collect rent except the tenants come to Lallybroch. It will also be a day of celebration of the Laird's return. Claire questions how public this is and the risk of having Jamie out in the open for all the locals to see. Jenny corrects Claire by telling her that none of their tenants would rat out to the Redcoats. Jenny further strains the situation by admonishing Jamie for not visiting his father's grave that night. The next day, the tenants start to come to Lallybroch and bring welcoming gifts to Claire and Jamie. Robert (David Leith) gave him a bottle of liquor. Ian and Jamie go inside to start the process of collecting the rents. It is a happy event inside as well, as everyone is drinking and eating. It appears the Jamie is not as tough on his tenants like the MacKenzies. He is letting some go and pay next quarter if they are short. Duncan (Paul Charlton) could only pay half of what he owed because he lost a cow two months back, so Jamie refused to squeeze his last coin from him and gave it back to him. Outside, Claire observes a father, Ronald MacNab (Richard Jack) abuse his son, Rabbie (Jamie Kennedy), over trying to take a bit of food. Claire takes the boy off his hands and it is clear that the young boy has been abused repeatedly and probably is hungry as well. That night, Jamie returns to bedchamber drunk as a skunk after Claire has already gone to bed. Of course, he's so clumsy taking his boots off that he falls over and wakes her up. She says, "I've seen elephants sit down with less impact." He makes some comments in Gaelic, and she says, "English, please." He said, "Sassenach, now you're a Scot, ye should work on your Gaelic." She asks him where he's been, and he said he tried to reason with MacNab, but in the end he had to show him the difference between abuse and discipline, then slaps her butt. "Ronald, if I ever see any evidence of you harming your wee laddie, ye'll have to answer to Laird Broch Tuarach." He slaps her butt again and says, "That's me." "Yes, I know," she replies. As he leans in close she says, "Jamie, you reek!" "You've actually seen an elephant?" She gives him a sideways look and says, "Yes, road one too." He collapses on top of her, she pushes him off her body and he falls asleep instantly, snoring. A little satisfied smile creeps onto Claire's face. The next morning, Jamie is very hungover and Claire gives him "hair of the dog", to which he replies, "I think I may need the whole hound." Jenny comes at him since he failed to collect rents in favor of being easy on his tenants. And she is thoroughly mad that Rabbie McNab will be staying with them because of Jamie's drunken lecture to his father about discipline versus abuse. Jenny is just done with Claire and Jamie coming in and disrupting the place. She says, "Do ye think life just started when the two of you walked through that door?" Jamie retaliates by stating his position, "I am the Laird of this estate and I do not need to discuss the running of it with my sister." Jenny storms out of the room with "Begging yer pardon, Laird Broch Tuarach". Jamie grabs a bannock, takes a bite, spits it out with disgust, and yells for Mrs. Crook (Margaret Fraser), who informs him that the mill is not working properly and they've had to grind the flour by hand. He visits the mill with Claire to repair it. He ends up having to disrobe, all but his shirt, to dive in and see if something is preventing the wheel from turning. Jenny arrives to tear into her brother again, but immediately sees a troop of Redcoats arriving on their horses. Jamie surfaces and sees them also. Jenny tells Claire to keep quiet to not let them know she is English, and both of them sit down to cover Jamie's clothing on the ground. It turns out this is a helpful troop of Redcoats as their leader, Corporal Dawson (Matthew Douglas) offers to help fix the mill. Jenny tells the other soldier to call back his master, but he replies, "Ye've no need to worry misses. The Corporal's father has a wheat mill in Hampshire. What he doesn't know about water wheels would fit in me shoe." Corporal Dawson also starts to disrobe to dive in and get the wheel to turn. Luckily, Jamie gets it to start again and throws his shirt on the wheel to give it a cause. The soldiers leave and Jamie surfaces further downstream, freezing cold. He is at once cupping his manhood and shielding it from his sister's eyes. He turns around, and Jenny is able to see his scarred back for the first time. She's shocked by it and turns away. Ian and Claire meet that night in the hallway as she is looking at some of the Fraser portraits. Ian comments that she's a night owl, like him, and explains how Jenny is and how alike she is to her brother. "She's a Fraser. Their hearts are as big and soft as their heads are thick and strong." Ian comments on his lost leg, telling Claire that it was Jenny who took care of him when he returned from France with a stump of wood. Claire recounts hearing about it from Jamie. He says, "It doesna slow me down much — it aches a wee bit towards the end of the day." She suggests Guelder Rose or Water-pepper to help with soreness, and he says he hasn't tried water-pepper yet, then she offers to make some for him. Ian also recounts how Jamie brought him back to Scotland, but Jenny made him whole again. "Is that why you married her?", to which Ian said, "Do ye think I had any choice in the matter?" Jenny found Ian in the field one day, came up to him and kissed him, then said, "Fine, we'll be married on St. Martin's day." Next thing he knew, while he was explaining to her why they couldn't do such a thing, he was standing in front of a priest saying, "I take thee Janet..." He continues giving Claire advice on being married to a Fraser. Claire asks, "How do you manage?" and Ian replies, "Ye give them a tug on your rope, or give them a wee kick in their back side. They might move, or you might get bit for your trouble." "And then what?" Claire asks. Ian replies, "Kick them harder." Claire literally pulls Jamie out of bed to remind him that she married Jamie, not the Laird. He has lost himself in coming to Lallybroch and his father would not be pleased. This spurns Jamie to visit Brian's grave the next day. Jenny finds him there. She said that she was wrong, Rabbie MacNab would be better off at Lallybroch, and their father would have agreed. He ended up collecting the rents and gives them to her. She then admits that she wants to apologize to him because she has blamed him for their father's death, but seeing the scars on his back, she thinks that her laughing at Randall spurned him on to take his anger out on Jamie's back. Jamie says it is neither of their faults, it is Jack Randall's fault alone. Jenny said, "And if your life is a suitable exchange for my honor, tell me why my honor is not a suitable exchange for your life? ... Or are you telling me that I may not love you as much as you love me? Because if ye are, Jamie Fraser, I'll tell ye right now it's not true!" Jamie was taken suddenly at a loss by this conclusion. We see Brian Fraser's grave stone which reads,   BRIAN DUBH BRIAN ROBERT DAVID FRASER BORN IN INVERNESS-SHIRE SCOTLAND:1691 AN DIED IN THE 49th YEAR OF HIS AGE AT FORT WILLIAM 1740 CUS AM BRIS AN LA ACUS AN TEKH NA SCAILEAN The episode returns to the bedchamber where Claire is looking at Broch Tuarach, the "north-facing tower". The tower is round, she wonders how can it be north-facing? "The door faces north," is Jamie's response. Claire is beginning to feel like she belongs at Lallybroch. Jamie said, "I knew you belonged here with me, almost since the first moment I laid eyes on ye. That's one of the reasons I agreed to marry you, though not the main one." "What was the main one?" Claire asked. "Because I wanted you. More than I ever wanted anything in my life. Right from the moment I fell off the horse and woke up in the dark looking up at your face. Then there was that long ride together, with that lovely round arse wedged tight between my thighs, and that rock solid head thumping me in the chest." Jamie revealed that he wanted her from the first moment he saw her, but he loved her when she wept in his arms that first night at Leoch. "Now I wake up every day and I find that I love you more than the day before." They kiss tenderly and passionately. Claire tells him "I love you." He picks her up and carries her to bed. Claire awakens to an empty bed the next morning. She comes out into the hall and sees four men in the foyer, some of which are pointing guns at Jamie. They notice Claire, Jamie looks up at her, and Claire looks down to him in terror. The watch have arrived. Adapted from Outlander TV News
