When they show Bree’s drawing to the Mohawk, the tribe knows they mean “Dogface.”
Again, poor Richard Rankin.
After meeting the Chief, they offer up nearly everything they have in exchange for Roger.
The tribe recognizes it as “Otter Tooth’s stone,” and they are extremely wary of it.
Meanwhile, at River Run, Murtagh has returned after his daring prison break.
Jocasta gives him a hearty meal and prods him about his escape.
She wants to know what landed him in jail in the first place.
The crown will be looking for him and she doesn’t want trouble at her house.
He assures her he’s only come to check in on Bree.
Jocasta says Bree basically spends all her time in her room or waiting on the porch looking for Roger.
Later, Murtagh checks in on Bree and questions her about her plans to marry Lord John.
They’re just using it to delay Jocasta while they wait for Roger to get back.
Claire senses there’s a greater story to the Otter Tooth stone.
She’s right because almost immediately they find themselves surrounded by a group of Mohawk.
He raved to the tribe and warned them to kill white men before their people are wiped out.
He led a war dance and then took members of the tribe to gather white scalps.
This angered the village, as they feared retribution, and so, Otter Tooth was banished.
He escaped, but men pursued him for days into the woods and killed him.
They make a deal to hand over the stone if they help them rescue Roger.
They sneak into the village and rescue Roger from the idiot hut.
Roger is happy to see Claire but not so much Jamie.
Right now, they need to get going.
The next day they are brought before the tribe to answer for their actions.
The Chief banishes the woman who led the group of men trying to recover the stone.
He says that the outsiders are not the cause of troublethat it still is Otter Tooth’s legacy.
They can take the stone and go.
But they will not leave without Roger.
Except there’s been no fair trade, so no deal.
In desperation, Jamie volunteers as tribute.
He makes Jamie promise he’ll leave and not come back for him.
It’s his choice to stay.
Then Jamie’s crying.
We’re all crying.
Claire hugs him goodbye, and Ian reminds Jamie of his wish that he become a man of worth.
Jamie tells him he doesn’t know how worthy he is.
Noble dog standing by his master is a surefire recipe for waterworks.
He urges her to remember where she came from and fight backshe can use her influence for good.
She accuses him of only being here for that reason, always scheming to get what he wants.
They argue and she throws his drink in his face.
She asks him to stay, saying they’ll face trouble together when it arrives.
I officially ship itMocasta forever.
Or is it Jurtagh?
In the New York woods, Claire frets over how Jamie will tell Jenny about what Ian did.
He insists she’ll understand because it’s in Ian’s restless nature.
Roger is sitting there stewing and he takes a swing at Jamie calling him a “f-ng bastard.”
Jamie tells Claire not to interfere and let’s Roger wail on him without fighting back.
This fight is intercut with another sequence of violence.
It’s now Ian’s turn to face the Mohawk gauntlet.
They tell him he’s proven himself and is now one of them.
The tribe cheers and Ian joins in with the doofiest smile of all time.
Roger finally gives up his attempts to bring Jamie down and wants to know where Bree is.
Claire explains she’s with Jocasta in North Carolina.
Roger starts to cry realizing Bree sent them after himhe thought maybe Bree had turned them against him.
Jamie admits it was his own mistake.
The whole ugly truth comes out on both sides.
He tells Claire about the other stone circle he found.
She has to stay, but Roger doesn’t.
He’s incredulous that they think he could leave her since she’s his wife and carrying his child.
But, Claire reminds him, the baby might not be his.
Can he go back to her knowing the baby could be Bonnet’s child?
Back at River Run, it’s time for Bree’s baby to arrive.
She gives birth to a son.
Two more months pass as Murtagh admires Bree’s sturdy, tall lad.
Phaedra is told of riders in the field and informs Bree that one of them is her mother.
Jamie inquires after Bonnet with Murtagh.
Murtagh tells Jamie about the jail explosion and how Bonnet did not escape.
Jamie regrets not getting to kill Bonnet with his own hands.
Bree agrees and we see the preparations being made for them to go.
She runs down the stairs and sprints out into the lawn, running towards him arms outstretched.
We see that it is indeed Roger on the horse.
He jumps off, and they’re running toward each other, crying, and embracing in the fields.
Anyone else getting major Melanie and Ashley Wilkes vibes here?
They are on a plantation after all.
They kiss more and she tells him she loves him too.
“Take me to see my son,” he proclaims.
This happy reunion is cut short as a legion of redcoats ride up the drive.
But they’re not after Murtagh, it’s Jamie they want.
They have a letter for him from Governor Tyron.
And just like that, it’s the Droughtlander again…
