Indeed, The Bakra had everything: goats blood, errant sapphires, long-lost frenemies, and powdered wigs.
Where do we start?
So when Ians up, hes obviously nervous.

Hes ushered into a room in which he watches a woman emerge from a pool of blood.
But its no ordinary woman its Geillis Duncan!
A blond Geillis Duncan.
(Bakrameans white person.)
Dont worry, its only goats blood, she tells the dumbfounded teen.
Protein and iron keeps my skin young.
Geillis washes off and sits with Ian to enjoy a tray of food.
Specifically, she wants to know where the missing sapphire is.
Ian says he doesnt know, but then a curious look crosses his face.
Unable to contain himself, he blurts out that maybe his uncle took it.
And knowing Jamie, shes certain he (and perhaps that sapphire) will soon turn up in Jamaica.
Ian once more insists that he needs to know about the other boys.
I have my way with them, Geillis explains.
Virgins have such power inside them.
And after that, she has no more use for them.
Ian points out that he is not a virgin.
Good, she answers.
Youll know what to do then.
Jamie tells the men to make quick work of unloading theArtemisso it wont be spotted by Captain Leonard.
Jamie and Claire demur as they need to focus on finding Ian.
He buys the man in Claires name.
And so it is, Claire and a slightly incognito Jamie (that powdered wig!)
arrive at the governors manse.
Within minutes, Claire runs into a familiar face: Archibald Campbell.
The two make pleasantries while Mr. Willoughby and Margaret make some very meaningful eye contact.
Jamie, too, finds himself reunited with a man from the past.
As it turns out, the governor is none other than Lord John Grey!
They exchange a few words before Lord John asks Jamie and Claire to speak in private.
Jamies first order of business is to inquire after Willie.
Jamie seems pleased but says that the only thing that really matters is that Willie is happy.
He then offers to help find Ian any way he can.
As he gestures, Jamie catches a glimpse of sparkling blue underneath Greys coat.
Its the sapphire Grey confiscated from Jamie while in prison.
Grey has kept it all these years to remember their friendship.
Claire, no dummy, senses Greys deep affection for her husband.
As the trio leave the governors quarters, Claire spies Geillis from afar.
Claires curious how shes not, you know, dead.
(Or so we assume.)
Back inside, Claire brings Geillis to Jamie, whos deep in conversation with Lord John.
Geillis spies the blue bauble hanging inside his coat, and she knows from whence it came.
This will bring death, Margaret warns her brother.
I can feel it.
Archibald insists she do the reading…or else.
Grey, for his part, tries to avoid the situation altogether, but Geillis insists.
Archibald, her translator, tries to make sense of the reading to Geillis.
His interpretation: A new king will rise in Scotland when a 200-year-old baby is killed.
And if you were about to make a Benjamin Button joke, Geillis beat you to it.
(Apparently she was an F. Scott Fitzgerald fan?)
Which they do, only to be intercepted by Captain Leonard and his men.
Jamie is dragged off, all the while yelling for Claire to find young Ian.
Shell have to go through Geillis Duncan first…
