Recap of Episode S03-E13 Eye of the Storm

Directed by: Matthew B. Roberts
Written by: Matthew B. Roberts and Toni Graphia
First aired on December 10, 2017

Claire (Caitriona Balfe) is underwater, drowning. Her voiceover: "I was dead. Everything around me was a blinding white, and there was a soft rushing sound, like the wings of angels. I felt peaceful and bodiless Free of terror, free of rage, filled with a quiet happiness."
Claire is in a carriage traveling fast at night. She yells to the drivers, "Hurry!" but they're slowing down, stopping. "Why are we stopping?" The humming noise outside is getting louder and louder. There is a large crowd of black men and women coming toward them, carrying torches. After they pass, the carriage continues on.

Eventually the carriage stops again and she gets out, asking, "Which way to the slaves' quarters?"

The driver points, "Along the path." You can see Rose Hill lit up in the distance. Claire orders, "Wait for me at the bottom of the road, but if I'm not back by daybreak, inquire after me at the main house."

"Yes, Mistress."

Claire heads in the other direction toward a row of rough, dimly lit shacks.


Fergus (César Domboy) and Marsali (Lauren Lyle) are back at the Black Cat Inn. They see the dress that Claire had worn to the Governor's ball on the bed. Marsali says, "Claire's been here."

Fergus exclaims, "I had hoped Mr. Willoughby would be here. Harm may have befallen him."

She reassures him, "He's a clever man. He'll ken how to avoid harm. There's naught we can do for him. We dinna ken this island."

Fergus picks up a note that was laying on Claires yellow dress. "It's from Milady. Milord has been arrested by Captain Thomas Leonard (Charlie Hiett)."

Marsali says, "We must make haste to the Artemis, then. We'll need help."

But Fergus has a better plan. "No. There's another way. I must go now. Wait here for me."

Marsali won't hear of it! "Fergus Fraser. I'm yer wife. I'm coming with you."


Claire is wandering around the slave shacks whispering, "Ian? Ian? Ian? - Ian?"

A dog whines. It's nosing around at something and Claire investigates. "Shoo! Shoo!"

She sees a male leg sticking out of a pile of straw. Alarmed she uncovers a dead boy. His throat had been slit. Then she's grabbed from behind by a very large black man. Hercules (Apolinalho Antonio).


Geillis (Lotte Verbeek) is questioning Young Ian (John Bell) inside Rose Hall. "Through all your blethering, ye failed to tell me about yer Auntie Claire."

Ian asks, "What has she to do with this?"

"It was she who was after the treasure. Why?"

"Perhaps you canna hear properly. 'Twas to pay a debt!"

"Ye're lying. She wanted the sapphire. She learned about the prophecy."

Ian's had it! "I'm tired of yer blathering. So leave me be, or get on with it, ye bitch!" He steps toward Geillis and her man servant grabs him and drags him away while he's yelling, "I swear, I'll gut you!"

A woman servant whispers to Geillis, "Hercules just found someone."

She tells the large black man, Atlas (Patrick Lavisa), "Take him away quickly."

Hercules brings Claire into the room. Claire yells, "Let go of me!"

Geillis chastises him, "Hercules!"

Claire says calmly, "Geillis. Sorry. It's late. My coachman left me at the end of the road, and I got lost trying to find the house."

Geillis says politely, "Ye're welcome any time. We're friends. I apologize for my manservant's roughness. He must have thought you an intruder. What brings ye here?"

"Jamie's been arrested."

"For what crime?"

"Someone's accused Jamie of murder. Of course, he's innocent. Now they're after me as well."

"You must be exhausted. Come sit. "


Jamie (Sam Heughan), in handcuffs, is being lead through the streets of Jamaica by Captain Leonard. Jamie says drolly to him, "Shame you couldn't have lost your way and found Havana instead."

"You are quite droll for a man in irons, Mr. Fraser. We did have difficulties making our way here, being quite shorthanded. But we're here now. However, that will not be for long. Once we have provisioned and found proper crew, we will transport you home to face trial."

Some Redcoat soldiers approach them and their commander orders, "Halt there, Lieutenant. We'll be taking Mr. Fraser into our charge."

Astounded, Captain Leonard asks, "By what authority?"


Captain Leonard is in the Governor's office. "Your Excellency, I must respectfully request that you return this man to my custody. He stands accused of murder and high treason. A warrant has been issued for him in Scotland, and I am duty-bound to ensure his return there to face trial."

Lord John Grey (David Berry) replies calmly, "Of course. May I see the warrant?"

"I don't have it in my possession, your Excellency."

"You don't have the warrant? Then what do you have, Lieutenant Leonard? Forgive me Captain Leonard. You must excuse my unfamiliarity with the somewhat liberal practices of the naval service, insofar as conferring rank is concerned. I'm afraid the army takes a somewhat more traditional stance in these matters, preferring to grant a title of command only when it has been earned. Now, as to your request. If you are unable to produce the warrant, then what have you to support your claim against this man? Well, surely you must have some evidence to put forward before you dispossess him of his freedom."

Captain Leonard tries. "A member of my crew encountered this man in Edinburgh while in the service of the Crown and can attest to the incriminating activities he saw there."

"I see. Then I presume your witness has made an affidavit and sworn its veracity before a magistrate. May I see the affidavit?"

"Having only just arrived, I've not yet - had the opportunity"

John cuts him off forcefully! "Lieutenant, Captain! Do you mean to say you have neither warrant nor affidavit to support your claim? Surely you do not mean to arrest a British subject on nothing more than the scurrilous gossip of the lower deck?"

Leonard is feeling his case shrinking and tries again to take charge. "Your Excellency I am satisfied as to both the validity of the charge and the identity of this man. And as a senior naval officer on the Porpoise, I am justified under the Articles of War in my desire to take him into custody."

John plays his trump card! "Indeed, Captain were he captured at sea. However, your authority ends at the water's edge, which is precisely where my authority begins. And until such time as I am satisfied as to the validity of this alleged warrant, this man will retain his liberty."

"Your Excellency!"

John shuts him off, forcefully! "Thank you Lieutenant Leonard."

Captain Leonard leaves the room.

Jamie sighs, then says, "Seems I'm indebted to you yet again ... for saving my life."

John adds, "Seems we've been indebted to each other so many times I lost count."

"Until the next time, then. Good-bye, John."

"Good-bye, Jamie. And Good luck."


Claire and Geillis are seated and talking at Rose Hall. Claire is continuing her story, "Then Jamie and I arrived here Jamaica."

"That's a braw tale. But ye seem to have omitted one detail. Why are you here?"

"I just told you."

"Twenty-five years ago, you dropped out of the sky into my life and now, again, you appear on my doorstep. Strange how fate keeps bringing us together. I never met another traveler. Only you. We share a bond something even you and Jamie can't share."

"Suppose we do."

"I befriended you, and because of that, I let my guard down. I sacrificed all for you, and still you come into my home and lie to me. You've been lying since we met."

"I'm not lying to you, Geillis."

"I now see it was you who poisoned Colum's mind. Ye turned him against Dougal and against the rising. Just didn't know how far you'd come to stop me."

"Stop you from what?"

"From fighting for a Scot to sit on the throne."

"I've done no such thing. Charles Stuart had his chance."

Geillis clarifies, "He's water under the bridge, but I'm not talking about the Bonnie Prince. I'm talking about the new king."

Claire sighs. "Geillis, I have no idea what you're getting at. I was just as shocked to see you at the reception"

"Don't play the fool with me, Claire. You knew full well about the Brahan Seer, and the sapphires, and that I was getting close to freeing my people from the tyrannical rule of the English, and returning my homeland to its former glory, as God meant it!"

Claire has heard enough. "I think I had better leave." She gets up...

"Stop her!"

"Get your hands off me!"

"This isn't Cranesmuir, Claire. There's no one here to defend you, save the truth."

"What is it that you want to hear?"

"Why have you been after me all these years?"

"I haven't even been in this time for the last 20 years."

"More lies."

Claire tries to convince her she's telling the truth. "Right before Culloden, I went back to my own time, in 1948."

"You'd never leave your beloved Jamie."

"Well, I didn't want to. But he made me leave, because we knew what would happen."

"I don't believe you. Not even war could part the two of ye."

"I was pregnant!"

"Pregnant?"

"And ye left your husband?" Geillis scoffs.

"I had to for the safety of my child. You know how it was after the '45. The bloodshed, the clearances. Well, I went back to raise her in my own time, in Boston. And then, when she was old enough, I returned to find Jamie, but that was a few months ago!"

"So you're claiming you traveled through the stones three times and survived it? I've read better stories in Mills & Boon."

Geillis tells Hercules, "You can have her. Do what ye will." He moves closer.

Claire pulls the packages of photos out of her pocket. "Look, I have proof! Here. Look. This is my daughter. How could I be in these photos if I wasn't telling you the truth?"

Geillis looks at the photos of Bree. "She looks familiar. What's her name?"

"Brianna. You actually met her at the university in Inverness in 1968."

Geillis remembers. "Aye. I did meet her. She was at the White Roses rally, later, at the pub. That was your daughter?"

"And we were there the night that you went through the stones."

"That was you shouting my name?"

"I wanted to tell you about what would happen at the witch trial. I tried to warn you."

"Then you must have seen..."

Claire finishes her sentence. "Your husband. Yes. Well, what was left of him."

"He was one of my favorites. Handsome. Such a lovely cock. But a sacrifice is required, Claire, - for the sake of the cause."

"I never needed a sacrifice any time I went through."

"Then how did you do it?"

"I don't know. I think it has something to do with who's on the other side Drawing you to them."

"That might be so. But I'd just as soon have blood. A girl can't be too careful. A 200-year-old baby Imagine that. My dear friend, I've acted monstrously. But you can understand. Our paths keep crossing so ominously, and well, it frightens me. Things haven't been easy for me. It's hard to distinguish friend from foe. But I now see that we've been brought together by forces more powerful than ourselves. I shall retire now. I'll have a servant show you to a guest room, where you can stay as long as you need."

Geillis hugs Claire, then leaves. Claire puts the photos back in her pocket.

Claire goes around the room checking doors. They're locked. Then she looks out the window and sees a black man carrying Ian who's yelling but his mouth has been bound. She yells out, "Ian?" She hears someone outside the door trying to get in, so grabs a large, metal candlestick with which to attack. Jamie pushes the door in and Claire swings, thankfully missing him.

Jamie hugs her, saying "Claire!"

She says, "Oh, Christ, how did you..."

And he answers, "Fergus got word to John Grey. Ye all right, Sassenach?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Geillis has Young Ian! Come on."

They head out the door together. They pause and Jamie asks, "Which way now, Sassenach?"

"This way towards the drumming."

They follow the sound through the dense jungle until they come to a clearing where a bunch of slaves are dancing around a bonfire wearing costumes and some have masks. One is wearing a crocodile head. It reminds her of the druids dancing around the stones at Craig na dun.

Eventually they are detected and brought into the circle, but Mr. Willoughby (Gary Young) comes forward, "Jamie!"

Jamie says, "Willoughby?"

Mr. Willoughby tells the man wearing the crocodile head, "They are with me."

Claire asks Willoughby, "What are you doing here?"

"I am with Miss Campbell (Margaret Campbell - Alison Pargeter) . These kind people heard of her gifts, and they asked her to come."

Margaret is doing a reading for a black slave, who says, "Thank you."

Claire asks, "Margaret?"

Mr. Willoughby explains, "She is the first woman to truly see me the man that I am, and I see her. We wish to be together. After tonight, we will go to Martinique make a home there."

Jamie asks Willoughby, "Have you seen Ian?

"I have not."

Claire poses, "Well, perhaps Margaret has. He's with Mrs. Abernathy."

The approach her and Claire says, "Margaret."

She replies, very happily, "Mistress. I was so pleased to see you at the governor's reception."

"I'm pleased to see you too. You seem happier."

Margaret smiles at Mr. Willoughby, and he asks her, "Margaret, can you tell us where Mistress Abernathy may be?"

She gets a very far away look, grabs Jamie's hand, and tells him in a strange voice, "I see you in an orchard of death sown with blood. I see the rabbit."

"Christ."

Then she turns to Claire, "I see a bird on a windowsill. He sings to you when you are sorrowful, but you hear him."

Her voice changes dramatically, to a younger woman with an American accent, "I knew it was you. My father I've been dreaming about you. I love you. You too, Mama! Oh, no the monster. Don't let it take me! Help me! Help me!"

Claire asks urgently, "Margaret, Margaret What are you talking about?"

"Abandawe."

Claire remembers. "You've said that to me before once. The cave, right?"

"The monster is coming."

Her brother Archibald Campbell (Mark Hadfield) runs up, seeing Mr. Willoughby with his sister. "Margaret! What have you done to her, you wicked heathen?"

Mr. Willoughby shoots back, "You are not welcome here."

Archie grabs Margaret and tries to drag her away. "Fine. We'll be going. Come, sister."

Margaret screams. Claire pleads, "Mr. Campbell, please!"

Archie says to Margaret, "Have you forgotten about our patron, Mistress Abernathy?"

Jamie steps forward and grabs Archie by the lapels, demanding, "What have you to do with Mistress Abernathy?"

Archie shoots back, "This does not concern you!"

Jamie says sternly, "Your patron has taken my nephew."

Archie replies, "I know naught of your nephew. My only interest is the Brahan Seer prophecy and the 200-year-old baby that Mistress Abernathy's pursuing."

Jamie demands, "Tell us!"

Archie complies, "The prophecy states that a new king of Scotland will arise upon the death of a child that's 200 years old on the day it's born."

Claire is putting the pieces together, "200-year-old baby"

Jamie says, "He's not making sense."

Claire tells him "Bree." Then she runs off...

The drumming is getting louder and lowder, and the crowd is getting more and more agitated. The guy wearing the crocodile head is holding a chicken, which he hands off to someone else.

Claire pulls her photos out of her pocket and looks through them, then yells, "Jamie!" And he runs towards her.

Archie tries to pull his sister away, "Margaret, we're leaving."

Claire asks Jamie frantically, "Do you have the other photo? The one with the dog?"

"No."

Mr. Willoughby tells Archie, "You are not leaving with her."

To which he replies, "I dinna answer to the likes of you. Margaret, Mistress Abernathy is expecting our services to be rendered."

Mr. Willoughby gets between Archie and Margaret, and pushes Archie away.

"Do not touch me, Chinaman!"

"I'm Yi Tien Cho. I know what you've done to her! You are not worthy of this woman."


[SHOUTING] [CHICKEN CLUCKING] [GASPING THROATILY] Claire tells Jamie, "Geillis must have taken it."

"Why would she take it?"

"I told her th-that I had a child in the future Th-that Brianna was yours. She met her right before Geillis came back through the stones. She thinks Brianna's the 200-year-old baby."

Archie tells Margaret, "You'll come with me now. Or must I use the stick?"

Margaret stands up to him. "No. You made me tell fortunes with riddles. I won't do it anymore!"

Archie swings his stick and hits her, knocking her down. Margaret screams.

Claire tells Jamie, "She's going to go back there to"

Jamie fills in the rest. "Kill her. We need to find Geillis now."

Jamie starts to run off, but Claire stops him to say, "Oh, there's a place on the island Like Craigh na Dun. Father Fogden told me about it. People disappear there. Abandawe."

Jamie repeats the name of the place, "Abandawe."

A slave woman bites the chickens neck! And Mr. Willoughby slits Archie's neck. The crocodile head guy puts a bowl under the bleeding chicken. And Mr. Willoughby goes to comfort Margaret. A bunch of slaves are hitting Archie's body, and one of them takes his white wig. The crocodile head guy drinks the chicken blood, bares his bloody teeth in a huge, gruesome smile, blood dripping all over, shaking his head back and forth and growling.

Jamie starts shouting, "Abandawe! Abandawe! Abandawe. Where?"

One of the slaves points to a path through the jungle, saying, "It bad place."

Jamie asks, "Take us there."

He shakes his head "no" and says, "The boy there, he die. You follow you die."

Jamie looks intense, grabs the guy's torch and Claire's hand and they charge down the path, looking back to see the slaves hoisting Archie's body on their shoulders, dancing and chanting as they carry it away. One of them is wearing Archie's wig.

They run a little ways, then Claire sees some standing stones on a hill with a cave entrance below. She says, "That's it. She's in there."

They go inside the cave holding hands and Claire says, "I can hear the hum. Jamie the portal must be nearby. If it takes me I may not be able to come back through again."

He says, "You ken that if anything should happen to me, you must still follow her. You must go. We lost Faith. We will not lose Brianna."

They kiss, look meaningfully at each other, he sets down the torch and they go toward the large cavern where Geillis is drawing a pattern on the ground with white sand. The photo of Brianna with Smoky is in the senter, and she has scattered various genstomes around it. Ian is bound and gagged nearby, moaning, scared. Hercules is nearby.

Geillis tells him, "Don't worry. You'll be sacrificed for a great cause."

Jamie and Claire enter the area. There's a lake or river between them and Geillis and Ian. Jamie has a dagger in his hand.

Geillis says, "So you came, did you?"

Jamie yells, "Ian!" and lunges toward them, but Hercules pulls out a gun and aims it at Jamie's head.

Geillis says, "Don't come any closer, fox. Persist, and Hercules will put a bullet in your head. I only spare ye because Claire is fond of you."

She turns and pours a liquid, likely something flamable, all over Ian.

Ian is writhing and frantic. Jamie drops his knife, Claire screams, "Geillis, don't!"

Jamie knocks the gun out of Hercules hand and they start fighting furiously. Hercules is MUCH bigger than Jamie. Ian's crying. Claire's yelling and running toward Geillis, "Geillis! Geillis."

Geillis has a torch and waves it at Claire, says, "A life for a life, sweet Claire. I saved you from the pyre after the witch trial. Ye owe me a life."

Claire pleads, "He's just a boy."

"He's just fodder for my passage. It's your daughter's life ye owe me."

"Geillis."

"I have to, Claire for the greater good."

Looking at the water, Claire says in a voiceover, "It was then I realized that the pool was the portal."

While Jamie and Hercules continue fighting, Geillis continues her crazy rant, "We are the chosen, you and I. We have a responsibility to change history. I gave up my child for the cause. You must do the same."

Claire shouts, "No!" Then charges Geillis and pushes to the ground, reaching for a large sword. Jamie is simultaneously getting the upper hand in his fight with Hercuels. He's got a large knife held to Hercule's neck.

Geillis looks at the water takes her chance, running towards it saying, "This is God's will!"

Claire swings her blade, yelling "No!, cutting her neck clean off".

Geillis crumbles, bloody head dangling off to the side.

Everyone takes a breath. Claire's in shock. Jamie tells Hercules, "Go. Go. You're free." Hercules gets up and heads out. Jamie heads to a very relieved Ian and frees his mouth, then starts sawing at his other bindings.

"Uncle Jamie."

Jamie says to a sobbing Ian, "Come to me. There's no reason to be afraid, lad."

Claire is staring at Geillis' body, hearing a loud humming from the portal. She heads slowly toward the water.

Jamie notices her movement and yells, "Claire? Claire! Claire."

He gets up and grabs her hand, breaking the spell. Then he says, "Let's get out of this place." Ian gathers up the gemstones on the ground, and Jamie picks up the partially burned photo of Bree, grabs Claires hand, and they head out of the cave quickly.

Once they're safely outside, Ian stops and says to Jamie coming up behind him, "I knew you'd come, Uncle Jamie. But ye left it a bit late, aye?"

"I did, then. I'm sorry, Ian." They hug, and he turns around and says to Claire, "We're all right now. Sassenach." But Claire is obviously still in shock, still holding the sword with which she'd killed Geillis.

Claire flashes back to a conversation she'd had with her friend Joe Abernathy (note the last name), talking about a skeleten he'd shown her. Joe said, "She's from a cave in the Caribbean. Full grown, maybe late 40s."

Claire had noted, "Broken neck."

Joe added, "More than that. Somebody tried to cut this lady's head clean off."

Back to the present, Claire's shaking, sobbing quietly. Jamie takes the sword from her, hugs her, and says comfortingly, "It's all right. Mo cree. It's all right. We'll rest now. We must return to the ship. I told Fergus to gather our belongings, have Lesley (Keith Fleming) and Hayes (James Allenby-Kirk) make ready to sail. But first, I must hold you both." He draws Young Ian in and they have a good long group hug.


They're back on the Artemis, in the captain's cabin. Claire's wearing her shift, laying on a mattress on a shelf in front of the big window. Jamie is shirtless, preparing to shave.

Claire says, "It was very generous of Lord John to use his influence to withdraw the warrant."

"Aye it'll be good to return to Scotland, Sassenach."

Claire agrees, "Mm Be nice to be home."

"Aye. Ah we'll, uh we'll return Ian straight to Jenny." He's lathing his face.

She observes, "He might not want to go back, after all this adventure."

"I dinna care if he wants to or not. I'll deliver him to Lallybroch if I must stuff him into a hogshead."

She gets out of bed and sits down on the table next to his shaving bowl. She pointedly orders, "Don't shave your beard."

"Four days' growth since we left Kingston."

"Funny. You have some new white hairs here."

"Hm. Well, it's little wonder if I have. Surprised I dinna have a full head of white hair, after all I've suffered these past few months."

She runs her finger across his stubble, then leans in close. "I like this. It's different."

"Aye?"

"Mm-hmm."

"How different?"

She runs her lips across his stubble, then kisses him lightly, slowly. "When you kiss me against my skin."

More kisses.

"Well, you have very fine skin, Sassenach. Like pearl. Indeed, you have a lot of very fine skin, if that's what you had in mind."

"That's, uh more or less what I had in mind, yes."

"I have given much thought... About what I want to do to you when we arrive on dry land."

"And what's that?"

"I've considered in great detail what I want to do to you, should I have you naked and willing and no one hearing. With enough room to serve you suitably."

"Well I'm willing. And there's certainly enough room. And as for being naked, well ..."

She starts reaching for the lacing at the neck of her shift. He stops her.

"Oh. I'll see to that. It's all part of the plan."

He pulls her onto his lap.

"There's a plan?"

"Hmm. I shall take you to some private spot in a heather of some rolling hill, and begin by sitting - beside ye."

Giggling, "I suppose that is a beginning."

"Mm-hmm."

"And what then?"

He continues, "As for what's next I shall take you on my knee And kiss ye"

At this point he demonstrates by kissing her. She breathes deeply, and says, "So much for step one. And after that?"

"Then I shall lay you down twist your hair up in my hand taste your mouth throat and bosom with my lips." Which he does. "I shall do that until you start making squeaking noises."

She laughs, "I do not make 'squeaking noises.'"

"Oh, aye, you do. Hand me that towel, huh?"

She grabs the towel, but she uses it to slowly wipe the soap off of his face. Then he takes the towel from her, and gently wipes the soap off her face (from kissing him). "And then Then what?"

As he picks her up, "And then I shall lay you on your back." He lays her on the mattress and she sighs happily as he climbs on top.

"And you might you might moan a bit, if ye like, to encourage me."

She moans appropriately.

"Otherwise, you just lay still."

Tender kissing ensues.

"Next I shall lie upon my back and have you stretched out at length upon me."

He flips them over so she's on top.

Chuckling, "So that I can take hold of your buttocks and - fondle them properly. My God."

Which he does.

"You have the roundest ass I've ever seen. If you wish to kick your legs a bit, or make lewd motions with your hips, and pant in my ear and make those wee noises at any point in the proceedings, I won't have any great objection."

"I do not pant - or make 'wee noises'."

"Do you not?"

"Uh-uh."

"Well, then I shall spread open your thighs - Take down my breeks, and"

"And what?"

"And then we shall see what sort of noises ye dinna make then, Sassenach."


Sometime later they're laying together sleepily. Thunder sounds in the distance.

Jamie says, "Cool air will be a blessing after the heat of the island."

"Mm-hmm."

More thunder, Jamie sits up and opens a window, saying, "Huh - Hmm? Skies are turning.


On the deck of the Artemis, the weather is fierce with heavy rain and strong wind. The ship is rocking. Jamie and Second Mate Baxley (Russell Crous) are both at the ships wheel trying to steer the ship, trying to keep it headed into the wind. Other seamen, including Hogan (Nic Rasenti) and Manzetti (Cameron Robertson), are working hard, pulling on ropes, tugging at sails, etc. Waves crash over the bow. Sailors slide across the deck.

Baxley yells to Jamie, "Steer into the wind! Come on, lad! We have to hold it steady!"

They're in a full-blown hurricane, just trying to stay alive.

There's all kinds of shouting, thunder, rain, confusion, fear!

Claire joins Fergus, Marsali, Lesley and Hayes where they've gathered below deck. Fergus yells, "We must help Milord!"

Marsali tells him, "Ye'll do as ye're ordered this time!"

Lesley yells, "He needs all hands on deck."

Hayes adds, "Mac Dubh kens what's best!"

Claire agrees. "Yes, he does. And he wants you all to stay down here! It's best to let the experienced sailors do their duty."

Ian shouts, "I don't want to stay below, where I'll be tossed about with no notion of what's happening overhead!"

Claire orders, "You have no choice in the matter, young man. Stay down here!" Then she heads for the door.

"Well, where are you going, Auntie?"

"I'm still the ship's surgeon!"

It's terribly dangerous up on deck. People have to shout to be heard over the intense wind. Someone yells, "Secure the cargo and get inside! Go, go!"

A huge wave sweeps someone overboard, and broken pieces of the ship are flying about. Claire climbs up from below. Jamie, still fighting with the ship's wheel, sees her and yells, "Claire! Claire!"

She yells, "Jamie!"

He gives up the wheel and goes to her, yelling, "It's too dangerous! Get back below."

The man at the helm yells, "I can't hold it!"

Jamie heads back to the wheel to help out Baxley, meanwhile another man is on the deck injured, and Claire fights her way to help him.

"Help me!"

"Let me help you! I think it's broken. Come on, help me get him below."

Another sailor helps her get the wounded man to the hatch, then the mended mast starts to break again and masts and rigging come crashing down, some of it into the water.

Jamie yells, "Claire! Hold on!"

Baxley yells, "We're losing her! It's no use! She's gone broadside! Secure the wheel and help me get the men below! Get below!"

They secure a rope to the wheel and people scramble to the hold.

Jamie shouts, "Everyone, get below deck!"

Someone else yells, "Everyone, below deck!"

Claire is holding on the best she can, sees her husband and yells, "Jamie!"

Baxley yells to Jamie "Get in, Fraser!"

"I need to get my wife!"

"Jamie!"

"Claire! Claire!" They make their way to each other just in time to look over the rail at this huge wall of water about to crash over them. They look at each other just as it hits!

Afterward, Jamie picks himself up and looks around for Claire. But she's not there! He yells, "Claire!"

Claire is in the water, sinking, with a piece of mast attached to a rope wound around her pulling her down. In a voiceover she says, "I was dead. Everything around me was a blinding white. And there was a soft rushing sound, like the wings of angels. I felt peaceful. And bodiless free of terror, free of rage filled with a quiet happiness."

And then Jamie is swimming down to her. When he reaches her, he tugs at the rope, then pulls out his knife and cuts it. After untangling the rope, he kisses her, sharing what oxygen he has left, kicking them toward the surface. When they're on the surface, he drags her to some floating wood and says, "Claire Claire! God. Claire! God damn you, Sassenach! If you die here now, I swear I'll kill you."

She's not breathing, and he thinks she's gone.

The camera pulls out and you can see that they're in the eye of the hurricane!


A little girl at the beach has a stick and pokes Jamie, who's unconsious, but starting to wake up. She runs off. There's debris all around him. He gets on his knees and looks for Claire, seeing her not far away. So he crawls to her.

Sadly, he says, "Sassenach".

She coughs and he gasps. "Oh, thank Christ. Oh oh, I thought you were dead."

"I told you I'd never leave you again."

"Scared me half to death."

"Where are we?"

"I dinna ken."

She asks, "The Artemis?"

A man and woman approach. He asks, "Are you all right, man?"

Jamie answers, "Aye we we have all our limbs."

"You must be from the ship, or what's left of it. She's run aground on the mud flats four miles south of here."

Jamie asks, "Are there, uh any survivors?"

"Aye, the folks have gone down to care for them."

The woman states, "What a mercy it is that you were saved. I've never seen such a dreadful blow this time of year."

"I'm Joseph Olivier (Brett Williams)."

This is my wife Patsy (Nandi Horak) Patsy and our daughter (Lucille Olivier - Jessica Walsh).

Jamie's turn: "James Fraser and and my, uh my wife Claire. This, um this may seem strange, but, uh Where are we?"

Patsy answers, "We call it Les Perles."

Claire clarifies the question, "What we mean to ask is What island is this?"

Joseph Olivier answered, "You're not on an island at all. You're on the mainland, on the colony of Georgia."

Jamie says, "Georgia?"

Claire confirms that they've made it to the new world, "America."
