Directed by: Brendan Maher Written by: Toni Graphia First aired on October 1, 2017 Scotland, 1968 Roger Wakefield (Richard Rankin) says to Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and Brianna Randall (Sophie Skelton), "So if our theory is correct, that Claire spent three years in the past and when she returned, three years had gone by here, it follows that time passes at the same rate in both centuries. Since you've been home for 20 years, we have to establish that Jamie's alive 20 years after Culloden. So 1766." Brianna chimes in, "There's no record of him at the Tolbooth. Nothing in Stirling either. Or Arbroath or Blackness. You're sure they recorded the names of every single prisoner?" Fiona Graham (Iona Claire)) adds, "If Red Jamie was also the Dunbonnet from Grannie's tales, he'd have been a very well-known outlaw." Claire replies to Fiona, "I always loved your grandmother's stories. She was a very special friend to me." Fiona asks Roger, "Will you have some cream on your scone, Roger? You're much too thin." Brianna says, "The Dunbonnet is only a legend. Even if such a person existed, he was an outlaw. What's to say that Jamie was ..." Claire interrupts, "I found him. Ardsmuir Prison." Brianna checks, "There he is, James Fraser." Roger looks at the three sheets, "1753. '54. 1755. His name appears on each of these annual rolls. But the prison closed in 1756." Brianna asks, "What happened to the prisoners?" Roger answers, "I don't know, but this is cause for celebration, no? And it's never too early for a whisky." Helwater, England, 1756 An elaborate carriage and two wagons containing luggage pull up to the Helwater manor and Mr. Evans (Richard Addison) welcomes the family home, "Welcome home, My Lord. Lady Dunsany. Uh, we pray that you're all in good health. Uh, Lady Geneva, Lady Isobel, so good to see you home again." Isobel Dunsany (Tanya Reynolds) greets him. "Good to be home, Mr. Evans. Italy was far too warm for my taste." Mr. Evans replies, "I dare say, My Lady." Lord William Dunsany (Rupert Vansittart) says, "I trust that all's been well whilst we've been abroad, Mr. Evans?" "Indeed, My Lord." Lord Dunsany adds, "I see that the new groomsman is amongst us." "Yes, My Lord." "I must have a word with him. Send him to the house, will you?" Mr. Evans tells Burton, "Tell MacKenzie His Lordship would like a word with him." Then Burton (Greg Powrie)) tells Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), "Mr. Evans says the Master wishes to speak with you." Lord Dunsany addresses Jamie, "So you're the Scottish prisoner? Alexander MacKenzie." "Your servant, My Lord." Lord Dunsany continues, "Major Grey disclosed to me that you were a soldier and fought in the Rising of '45." "I did, My Lord." "But he also told me that you were an honorable man who spared his life before Prestonpans. I lost my only son there. Gordon was a young captain in Bolton's regiment." Jamie understands their grief, "Many good men were lost to their families in the rebellion. On both sides." "I respect a man who fights for his cause. Gordon gave his life for what he believed I take heart from this. You were defeated. Our quarrels are bygone. I cannot say that Lady Dunsany feels the same. She carries a great hatred for any Jacobite. She's never overcome Gordon's passing." Jamie empathasizes, "Pain of losing a child never leaves you. I've lost two children myself, My Lord." Lord Dunsany softens a bit, "Well then. I'll simply tell Lady Dunsany that you're a groom heartily recommended by Major Grey, not a prisoner. You'll receive a small stipend for your services. But you are a prisoner, MacKenzie. Mind you don't forget it." Evidently Roger's car has died and he is looking under the hood while Brianna looks on. Brianna quotes Fiona with a Scottish accent, "'Will you have some cream on your scone, Roger?' You know she has a crush on you." Roger doesn't get it, "Fiona? Och, no. She just likes being helpful." "You know, at first I thought maybe Fiona was your girlfriend." Roger bangs his head on the car hood, "Girlfri Girlfriend? Fiona? No. I mean, I have girls who are friends, but not one I'd call a and I don't there's no I don't have a girlfriend." Brianna orders, "Move aside." She fiddles with something, then says, "All right. Try it now." Roger starts the car. "Okay. What did you do?" "Distributor cap was loose." Roger says cheekily, "What do I owe you?" Brianna answers with a twinkle in her eye, "I'll think of somethin'." Burton tells Jamie at the stables, "MacKenzie. Time to draw straws." Jamie asks, "For?" Burton evades with "You'll see." Dorsey (Ali Craig)) draws the short straw and says, "Thanks, lads." Lady Geneva Dunsany (Hannah James) approaches haughtily, "I'm ready for my ride." Dorsey informs her, "I shall accompany you, My Lady." Then she orders Jamie, "Fetch my palfrey." "At once. Right away, My Lady." Then he goes into the stable to get her horse. Testily, Geneva orders, "Hurry up, you useless Scotchman." Behind her back Jamie says under his breath, "A boot on the hindquarters is what that one needs." But Isobel overhears him, "The horse? Or my sister?" Embarrased, Jamie apologizes, "Pardon, My Lady. I I meant " Isobel states, "I know exactly what you meant. But I doubt it would do her any good." Jamie asks her, "May I saddle yer horse, My Lady?" But Isobel declines, "I only come down to look at the horses, admire their beauty." This is something Jamie also appreciates, "Aye. They are magnificent." Isobel is kind of sad, "It pains me that my father confines such splendid creatures." Jamie says consolingly, "I've seen a great many stables. But Helwater's are by far the finest." "A cage is still a cage. How long were you in the employ of Lord John?" Jamie answers, "I was under his charge a wee bit over a year." Isobel obviously has a crush on Lord John, "I've known the Major since we were youngsters. I find him to be a rare and interesting person. I imagine he'll make someone a good husband." Jamie understands and tries to let her down gently, "Uh, forgive me, My Lady, but military and marriage are no easy bedfellows. The Major's passion lies in soldiering." Isobel has her mind set. "His dedication to king and country is one of the things I admire most about him." Back at Reverend Wakefield's manse, the phone rings and Roger answers it. "Wakefield Residence. One moment please. It's the hospital in Boston." Claire takes the phone, "Hello. This is Dr. Randall." Her friend Joe Abernathy (Wil Johnson) says cheerfully, "Lady Jane." Claire smiles, "Joe. Well, it is lovely to hear your voice." Joe Abernathy orders, "Guess what I'm eating." Claire thinks on it, "Well, let's see, it's Tuesday, so it could only be chicken cacciatore." Joe says, "You may not miss me, but I know you miss Jeveli's." Claire confirms, "I miss both." Joe is anxious to have her back, "So I'll make a reservation for two. When should I say?" Claire only says, "Oh, soon." Joe wants more detail, "What month is soon in?" Claire won't be pinned down, "I can't say yet." Joe gets to the point, "Italian food aside, the reason I called, I saw Harry Greenbaum today for abdominal pain." "Harry? What did you find?" Joe informs her, "Positive Murphy's sign and calcifications on the X-ray. I scheduled the surgery for next week." Claire tells him, "You can handle it, Joe." "Of course I can. But I'm just surprised you aren't insisting on doing it yourself." Claire is done, "Let me know how it goes. Good-bye, Joe." 1757 Lord and Lady Dunsany and their daughters are escorting an elderly gentlement to his carriage. Lady Louise Dunsany says, "I can't tell you how pleased I am with this arrangement. Geneva will be a fitting bride, Your Lordship." Her husband adds, "We're certain this match will bring good fortune to both our families." Lord Ellesmere (James Cameron Stewart) (the elderly gentleman) says haughtily, "My sister advised me to seek in marriage a lady less pettish. However, I find Geneva's disposition appealing." Lord Dunsany affirms, "My daughter will not disappoint you, sir." Ellesmere is irritated at Jamie who is working on one of the carriage horse's feet, "Am I to wait all day?" Jamie replies calmly, "Almost finished, My Lord." Ellesmere says to Lord Dunsany, "My God, if a child of mine had hair that color, I'd drown him before he drew his second breath." Ellesmere then grabs Geneva's hand, "Farewell, my dearest. A mere fortnight until you're mine." As Ellesmere leaves, Geneva notices Jamie walking away and a scheme is forming in her mind. Geneva approaches the stable. "I'm ready for my ride. MacKenzie, fetch my palfrey. You will accompany me today." As Geneva and Jamie are riding along, Geneva asks him, "What do you think of my betrothed?" Jamie evades the question. "The Earl of Ellesmere? It's not my place to give an opinion, My Lady." Geneva insists, "I demand your opinion, MacKenzie." Jamie concedes, "He appears fond of you." Geneva states the obvious. "His most attractive quality is his wealth. What do you find attractive?" Jamie evades again, "I don't think of such things, My Lady." Geneva calls him on it. "Liar. Aren't you coming?" Jamie, uncomfortable with the conversation tries a different approach, "We should turn back. 'Fore it gets dark." Geneva insists, "We have time. Besides, you have to do my bidding." She races ahead of him, then when she's out of sight, we hear a scream. Worried, Jamie rushes to her and picks up her limp form, "My Lady." Geneva opens her eyes, "I knew you'd do as I told you." Jamie promptly dumps her in the middle of a big pool of mud. Instead of being put off by this, she smiles up at him with mud all over her face and says, "I look forward to our next ride!" Jamie and Lord John are playing chess outside. Lord John says, "King's pawn to king four." Jamie counters with, "Queen's knight to bishop three." Lord John states, "The Dunsanys are pleased with your work." Jamie replies, "So even after all these months, ye've come all this way to Helwater for the sake of my welfare? Or is it because ye canna find anyone else to play chess with?" Lord John returns, "No one suitable." Jamie agrees, "Yes." Isobel, Geneva, and Lord John's brother Lord Melton (Sam Hoare) approach. Hal addresses his brother, "Johnny." Lord John tells Jamie, "It appears my next move will have to wait." Geneva has a scheme, "Colonel Melton, you must remember MacKenzie?" Hal recognizes Jamie and says, "MacKenzie. Yes. Although it's been some time now." Jamie is looking very uncomfortable, "Aye. We are acquainted, My Lady." Isobel adds, "Major Grey was good enough to recommend Mr. MacKenzie to us. He's a master of the horses." Geneva muses, "If only he were as good with people as he is with horses." Isobel asks innocently, "How has your family managed without him?" Hal says slyly, "If it were up to me, I would never have let such a man go. But then, I'm not my brother." Geneva says flirtatiously, "Come, Lord Melton. We have much to catch up on. Why don't we do it over a game of cribbage?" Hal smiles and replies, "It would be my pleasure." The three of them walk away. Geneva walks up to Jamie and Dorsey working. They both stop and bow to her. Dorsey walks off and Geneva addresses Jamie, "You needn't stand on ceremony for my sake, MacKenzie. What are you doing?" Jamie resumes his work. "Shoveling shit, My Lady." "Goodness. You understand I could have told my father you dropped me in the mud. You're very fortunate I have a merciful heart." "Aye, very fortunate, My Lady." "As you know, my wedding is in three days." Jamie replies, "I wish ye every happiness." A disgruntled Geneva counters with, "Married to a man old enough to be my grandsire? It's a vile agreement." Then she ponders him and asks, "Have you ever been married, MacKenzie?" Jamie replies, "Aye." Geneva says smugly, "Then you'll know what to do. When you come to my bed." Jamie is shocked, "You've lost your mind. If ye had one to lose." Affronted, Geneva declares, "How dare you speak that way to me." Jamie, also affronted, shoots back, "How dare you speak that way to me. A lassie of breeding, making indecent proposals to a groom?" Geneva is petulent. "I am damned if my maidenhead will be given to a depraved old goat like Ellesmere." Jamie has had enough of this conversation and starts to leave, "Good day to you, My Lady." Geneva isn't done yet. "I couldn't fathom why someone of Major Grey's standing would spend so much time with a common groom. Colonel Melton was tight-lipped at first, but after a few well, quite a few glasses of port, I was able to coax a very interesting tale from him." Jamie is feeling Geneva's noose tighten. "Ye shouldna done that." Geneva presses her advantage. "Mama would not be at all pleased to know her groomsman is, in truth, a notorious Jacobite soldier who fought in the army responsible for my brother's death. I'm very sure she'd have your parole revoked, incarcerating you once again." Jamie is furious. "Ye filthy wee bitch." She adds snidly, "That language suits you, Red Jamie." "I'm sorry yer brother died. Truly. But I'll not return to prison." Geneva has him all figured out and is prepared. "You'd run back to Lallybroch? What a quaint little name. I suppose they would post soldiers. Come to my room. Tonight." Jamie sneaks into the house and quietly makes his way to Geneva's room. She's waiting for him in a frilly nightgown. Geneva stands up. "I'm glad you came, Jamie." He replies, "Having brought me to yer bed by means of threats against my family, I'll not have ye call me by the name they gave me." "What must I call you then?" "Alex. 'Tis my own name as well." Geneva tells him, "You may disrobe." Jamie starts to take off his boots. "You can watch me if you'd like." Then turns around and takes off his vest and pants, and turns away from her to take off his shirt. She gasps. "It's all right. Doesna hurt. Should get on with this then. May I touch ye, My Lady?" He's getting down to business and Geneva seems unsure of herself. "I don't know what to do." Jamie stops and says sincerely, "We don't have to do this. Change yer mind if ye want." Geneva is determined. "No. I'm doing this for myself. I want my first time to be with someone like you." Jamie understands her hesitance. "Aye. The first time can often be vexing." She asks tentitively, "Will you show me how it's done? Will it hurt much?" He knows what he's doing. "I think not. If I take my time." He kisses her and takes off her gown, then lies her down on the bed. Geneva asks, "May I touch you there?" Jamie instructs her gently, "Now move with me." Afterwards, Jamie rolls to his side and asks her, "Did I hurt you?" Geneva admits, "It was painful at first. But then I liked it. I love you, Alex." Jamie shakes his head slightly and says gently but firmly, "It's not love, My Lady. It's just the feelings I've roused in yer body. It's strong. But it's not the same thing as love." Geneva asks him, "What is the difference between them?" "This ... What ye feel for me now, ye could have with any other man. It's not particular. Well, love is when you give yer heart and soul to another. And they give theirs in return." Geneva and Ellesmere visit Helwater, and Jamie sees Geneva is pregnant. She looks at him meaningfully to make sure he notices. Fiona Graham comes up to Claire and says, "Pardon, Dr. Randall, I believe these belong to you." She hands Claire the pearls that Jamie gave her on their wedding night. "My grandmother told me of your special friendship as well. She left the pearls to me, but I know she'd want you to have them back." "Thank you, Fiona. Truly." Brianna jumps out of her chair as Claire enters the room. "Hey! Good news. We just found out the National Archives has the most extensive collection of ship manifests in the country. We can take the train to Edinburgh tomorrow." "That's wonderful, darling." "Mama, are you all right?" "You haven't called me that in a very long time." Brianna and Roger are sitting on a bench talking. She says, "I'm a terrible person." Roger laughs. "Finally, something we agree on." Brianna continues, "Ever since my mother told me about Jamie, it's like this wall between us has started to come down. And now the closer we get to finding him I'm afraid of losing her." "I think that just makes you a daughter who cares about her mother." "What if something happens to her there? What if she can't come back? Or what if she doesn't want to?" "Well, if that makes you a terrible person, then so am I. Part of me doesn't want to find him either because Well, once we do, you'll go back to Boston." Brianna reaches over and kisses Roger on the mouth. Roger starts, "That was " Brianna finishes, "Unexpected." Roger adds, "Unexpected, yes." Isobel runs up to Jamie and exclaims, "Mr. MacKenzie! Mr. MacKenzie! Get the horses and prepare the carriage. You must accompany us to Ellesmere. My sister, she's in distress. We've heard word she's about to give birth. All is not well with her. We must make haste." They all load up in the carriage and make a bee-line to Ellesmere. Once at Ellesmere, everyone dashes inside and runs up an elegant stairway. Jamie encounters a maid and asks her, "How is Lady Geneva?" The Maid (Laverne Edmondsc>) replies, "She's still got the bleeding, God bless her." Jamie inquires anxiously, "And the child?" The maid answers brightly, "Oh, he's a fine healthy boy." Later Jamie hears weeping in the distance and walks up to Isobel. He asks her, "Are ye all right, My Lady?" Isobel blurts out, "My sister's dead. We thought she'd be all right. She was sitting up, holding the baby, laughing. But then she started to bleed again. Physician did everything he could." Jamie walks closer and Isobel jumps up and slaps his face. "Ellesmere knew the child wasn't his. I knew it too. Geneva told me they had never shared a bed. Do not feign ignorance. She was in love with you. She said that you lay with her. She made me swear not to tell anyone." The maid runs up to them and says excitedly, "Yer master is askin' for ye! Come quickly! There's trouble!" Then she runs off, and they run after her. They are heading toward the room where Lord Ellesmere is yelling at Geneva's parents, "You promised me a virgin! What I got was a whore!" Lady Louisa Dunsany (Beth Goddard) yells back at him, "How dare you?" He is holding the baby in his left arm and has a knife in his right hand. "It's a bastard she's given me! And I'll not grieve for a woman soiled by the cock of another man!" Lord Dunsany yells back, "That you can have the sheer heartless effrontery to make such accusations! And my poor lamb not yet cold in her bed! You blaggard! You poltroon!" Ellesmere continues, "You seem damn sure of your daughter's purity! Are you certain the brat isn't yours?" Lord Dunsany pulls out a pistol and aims it at Ellesmere. Louisa shreaks. Jamie tries to calm the situation. "My Lord! Hand me the pistol. We shall put our weapon down, but we need you to do the same, sir. Please. For the baby." After a bit, Lord Dunsany surrenders the pistol to Jamie. Louisa pleads, "Your Lordship, let us take the child so that you may mourn in peace." Ellesmere, holding the knife out toward them, starts backing away. "You will go." Lord Dunsany is firm. "We're not leaving here without the baby!" Ellesmere shreaks, "Go to Hell! I'll kill the bastard before I let you have him!" Then he turns the knife toward the baby, and in a split second Jamie shoots him in the forehead. Jamie runs to the baby and picks him up. He's OK. Later, Isobel is dressed in mourning pushing a baby carriage toward Jamie who is on horseback with another groom. "MacKenzie." Jamie jumps off his horse and hands the reins to the other groom who leads it away. "Lady Isobel. How is the wee one?" "We named him William. After my father. I call him Willie." Jamie is moved. "'Tis a fine name." The baby fusses and she picks him up. Isobel says, "I must apologize. I was very angry that morning, mad with grief. I needed someone to blame, but it wasn't your fault. My sister was a difficult woman and you were kind to her." She puts the baby back in the carriage and walks down the path to her mother, who is approaching. Jamie looks at the baby and says, "You're a braw laddie Willie. You're so wee. Di dinna fash yerself. I am here." Louisa walks up and says, "I asked Isobel to allow us a moment. The coroner's court has met. The verdict is that the Earl of Ellesmere met his death by misadventure. The coroner's theory was that he was distraught over his wife's sudden death and therefore met his own end. We're very grateful to you, Mr. MacKenzie." "Thank you, Your Ladyship." Louisa continues, "I know who you are. Not your name, but that you were one of Major Grey's Jacobite prisoners." "Hope you forgive the deception, Your Ladyship." "My husband has considerable influence in London. I'm sure he would speak on your behalf to have you released from the conditions of your parole. So I've come to ask you would you like to go home, to Scotland?" "Thank you, Your Ladyship. But I will not go just yet." "Why not?" "Times are hard there. And I've been able to send some money back for my family. I would like to continue in your service, if you have no objection." "As you wish, Mr. MacKenzie. But when you are ready to leave, you have only to ask." She pushes the carriage away, and Jamie walks in the other direction. 1764 Years later, Willie (Clark Butler) is riding on a pony in a circle with a lead rein and Jamie is coaching him. "That's it, Willie. Keep yer back straight. That's it. Shorten yer reins a bit." Lady Dunsany and her friend, Lady Grozier (Fiona Francis), are watching this and smiling. Lady Grozier says, "The young Earl of Ellesmere is a handsome little boy and such a lovely rider." His proud grandmother replies, "Oh, yes, Willie loves his pony." Jamie continues the lesson, "That's it, heels down. Aye, ye're a natural." Louisa adds, "We joke sometimes that he spends so much time with MacKenzie he's starting to look like him." Lady Grozier finally notices Jamie and says, "Why, you're right. How funny." Jamie heard their conversation. Jamie has solicited Willie's help tending to a coach. "All right, help me wipe it down." He lifts Willie inside, then notices his own reflection alongside Willie's face through the glass window. He's putting two and two together and noticing that Willie really IS starting to look like him. Oh NO... National Archives of Scotland Roger, Brianna, and Claire are examining some old documents. Roger says, "Here's the last of them." Claire asks, "Roger, what are these?" He answers, "Ship manifests, but ..." Claire notices, "But the dates, they're all wrong." Roger reads the dates|"1635. 1636." Claire declares, "Wait, all of them? It's off by over a hundred years." Brianna says, "There must be a mistake." Roger gets up and says, "Let me check." He goes to the lady in charge and asks, "Excuse me, I was looking for ship manifests from the period of 1756. The Archivist (Una McDade)) replies shortly, "Sorry, we've given you everything we have." Roger returns and relays the results, "She said those were the only manifests they have." Disappointed, Claire flings down the book in her hand and emphatically says, "Christ." Later, Claire, Bree and Roger are sitting at the bar at a pub. The Entertainer quotes poetry, "'But bring a Scotchman frae his hill, Clap in his cheek a Highland gill, Say, such is royal George's will'" Roger recognizes the stong, "Robbie Burns. The old bard knew how to turn a phrase." Brianna wonders, "Why are people staring at us?" Claire answers, "'Cause we are not supposed to be sitting at the bar, you and I." Brianna says, "What are you talking about? There's a woman right there." Roger clarifies, "Oh, no, that's the entertainment. Maybe we could move to the other lounge where women are more accepted." Claire states, "This is 1968. And we have as much right to sit here as any man." The entertainer keeps quoting, "'But tell me whisky's name in Greek, I'll tell the reason. Scotland'" Roger tries to cheer everyone up. "It was just a little setback. We can always go to every port of call on the western coast. There must be records." Brianna says emphatically, "We will find him." The entertainer continues, "'Freedom an' whisky gang thegither! Take aff your dram!'" Men are toasting and shouting. Claire recognizes the phrase, "'Freedom and whisky.' I used to quote that to Jamie." Brianna is certain. "And you will again, Mama. Look. We are not giving up. " Claire isn't so sure. "But this is what Mrs. Graham warned me about. Spending my life chasing a ghost. To all of those we have lost." They clink their glasses together, drink, and Claire continues, "It's time to go home." Jamie is walking with Willie, "It's time for me to go home." "What do you mean, Mac? This is your home." Jamie corrects him, "This is your home." Willie seems crestfallen, "Where are you going? For how long?" "Back to Scotland." "I want to come with you. I could ride Rosie." "No. And I've told ye a thousand times, she's too big for ye just yet." Willie orders beligerantly, "You have to do what I tell you. I'm your master." Jamie is trying to be understanding. "I suspect 'no's' a word ye've not heard much of, but you'll hear it in the world and you best get used to it." Willie stomps off in a huff and kicks over a bucket. Jamie says sternly, "Willie! No! I told you, no." Then he does the unthinkable and swats the backside of his little master. Willie shouts out, "I hate you!" "And I'm not very fond of you either just now, ye wee bastard." The look on Willie's face immediatly causes Jamie to regret what he just said. Willie shouts, "I'm not a bastard! Take it back!" Immediately Jamie concedes. "I take it back. I should never have used the word. I'm sorry My Lord." More subdued now, Willie pleads, "Must you truly go, Mac?" He runs into Jamie's arms and Jamie holds him, comforting him speaking something to Willie soothingling in Gaelic. Isobel and Lord John, notably NOT in uniform, are together when Jamie enters the room. She says, "Tea will be served shortly. Shall we go to the house?" Lord John answers, "I shall follow directly. I'd like a moment with MacKenzie." Isobel walks off as Jamie walks up. Lord John says to Jamie, "I hear Willie is most displeased with you. You told him you were leaving?" "Aye." Lord John continues, "Be sorry to lose my chess partner. But you are right to go. We all have our secrets. Yours is walking around. Anyone with half an eye can see it. Some sires stamp their get. The boy has the same cock to his head, same set to his shoulders, and he has your eyes. It won't be long before young Willie sees it himself." Jamie needs more privacy for the next topic. "Will you walk with me? ... I wish to ask a favor of ye." Lord John makes a guess about what he's going to ask, "If you think I'll tell anyone, I won't." "No, no, I dinna think ye would. But I would ask would ye look out for Willie? It would mean a great deal to me if you would spend time with him, serve as his father. In return, if ye want I would be willing to ... If you want." Agast, Lord John asks, "Wha Are you actually offering your body to me in payment if I promise to look after Willie?" "Aye." "Dear God. That I should live to hear such an offer!" More cheerfully, Jamie asks, "Ye dinna want me then?" "Well, I shall probably want you till the day I die, but tempted as I am, do you really think I would accept? Well, I should feel my honor most insulted save that I know the depth of feeling that prompted it. I came to tell you some news of my own. I am to be married." Now Jamie is the one who's suprised, "Married? To a woman?" Chuckling, Lord John answers, "I think there are not many alternatives. But yes, since you ask, to Lady Isobel." Jamie is agast, "Wha Christ, man, ye canna do that." Lord John confirms, "I can. I made trial of my capacity in London. Be assured I shall make her an adequate husband. Besides, there is more to a marriage than carnal love. I'm also truly fond of Isobel." "Well, then, I have no right to think ill of you, if you mean no dishonor to the lady." "Certainly not. Besides it means I will be able to care for Willie." Jamie is moved. "I'm grateful to ye." He then reaches out for Lord John's hand. "And you shall always have my friendship." Then he puts his other hand over their clasped hands, and says, "If that has any value to ye. Lord John responds sincerely, "A very great value indeed." Jamie is in his room where he lit a candle and reached into a drawer for a little statue. Willie creeps in and stands in the doorway. Jamie asks, "What are ye doing? Does yer governess know ye're here?" "I wanted to see you. Can't I stay for a bit?" "For a bit." Willie closes the door. Willie sees the first candle, the small statue, and the second unlit candle in front of it. "Grandmama says only stinkin' Papists burn candles in front of heathen images." Jamie replies to that, "Well I am a stinking Papist. But that's no heathen image. That's St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost things. I light a candle, pray for the ones I've lost." Jamie lights a stick from the big candle and ignites the wick of the small candle. Willie inquires, "Who do you pray for?" "My brother." Jamie lets Willie blow out the flame on the burning stick, then continues, "He's called Willie like you. And my sister, my Godfather, my wife." Willie states, "You haven't a wife." "Not anymore. But I remember her. Always. One day, you will have a wife of yer own." Willie says, "I don't want a wife." "Ah, trust me, lad. There's a woman out there for ye. Ye'll find her one day. Or she will find you." Willie is insistent. "I want to be a stinkin' Papist too." "No, yer grannie would go mad." Willie insists, "I won't tell her. Please, Mac. I want to be like you." Jamie reaches over to get some water on his finger and makes a cross on Willie's forehead while saying, "I baptize thee William James in the name of our Father and of the Son and the Holy Ghost." Willie asks, "Why did you call me William James? My name is William Clarence Henry George Ransom." "Oh, when ye're christened, ye get a new name. James is your special Papist name. It's mine too." Willie is excited by the little ceremony. "I'm a stinking Papist now." Jamie reaches into his drawer and pulls out a box, then opens it. "Oh. And I carved this for ye. My brother Willie gave me one just like it. I etched your name on the bottom, see. Keep it to remember me by. And for God's sake, don't tell anyone ye're a Papist." Willie agrees, "I won't. But I haven't got anything for you to remember me." WALK OFF THE EARTH'S "A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL" PLAYS FROm HERE ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE EPISODE Jamie says very sincerely, "Oh, dinna fash, lad. I'll remember you." Isobel and John Grey are standing side by side with Willie as Jamie is getting ready to leave. Isabel comes up and hugs Jamie and whispers, "We'll take good care of your son." He mounts up and starts to leave. Brianna and Claire are packed up and leaving Roger's house. Willie breaks away from Lord John and runs after Jamie yelling, "Mac, please don't go. Come back!" Jamie is looking tortured as he keeps on riding away. Roger is holding his toy airplane and missing Brianna and Claire as their plane takes off and Claire and Brianna are looking sad as they're on the plane heading back to Boston. Lord John catches up to Willie and holds him as Jamie keeps riding away. Jamie has to leave for Willie's sake. But the feeling is similar to him walking Claire to the stones to send her back to Frank. Just heart-breaking!
