Bree protests because she loves Roger, who she still believes has returned to the present day.
Its a bid to show her there was no way she could have fought off her attacker.
Jamie balks at this idea, but Bree calls his bluff saying her honor is something worth reclaiming.
He says killing your attacker will not let you forget but that time will heal the wound.
There is another nameless man facing the same fate, who is struggling and falls.
Later, they are tied against a tree while the men make camp for the night.
Roger is tying knots in a string to keep track of the days.
Hes been observing landmarks because he plans to escape and get back to his wife.
The other man finds this idea laughable, which brings Roger to a state of hysterical tears.
But Bree has to decide soon.
Bree verifies with Claire that the withdrawal method isnt foolproof (ya, think?
Theres a chance the baby could be Rogers.
Ian is continuing to make some meager attempts at flirting with Bree, which Jamie points out to her.
Bree explains in her time, its not encouraged to be smitten with your cousins.
Mine are Bruce Springsteen, Harry Potter, and burritos.
In the night, Bree is having a dream and imagines Roger has come back to her.
As she tells him shes pregnant and doesnt know if its his, he morphs into Bonnet.
Lizzie wakes her from the nightmare.
Weve talked before about how often this series uses rape as a narrative rig.
Indeed, I personally feel it crops up far too often.
So, let me just say that I detested this sequence.
It was more explicit in what it showed than Brees actual assault two weeks ago.
This moment feels like a slap in the face.
Jamie nearly beat him to death and had Ian send him away.
But Bree is confused how could Lizzie know what the man looked like?
And thats when she realizes that Lizzie thinks Roger is the man who hurt her.
Bree storms into the cabin and demands to know what theyve done with Roger.
She confronts Jamie about how he really injured his hand.
Jamie tries to defend himself, saying they all thought Roger had left the past.
This leads Bree to admit she welcomed Roger into her bed after they were hand-fast.
OH NO, YOU DID NOT SAY THAT.
Bree slaps him and calls him a self-righteous bastard (GOOD!
), explaining she was violated by someone else and he beat up the wrong man.
Immediately, both Jamie and Ian realize it was Stephen Bonnet.
They still need to know where Roger is, and Ian admits he sold him to the Mohawk.
Ians crying, Lizzies crying, everyones crying and apologizing which leads Jamie to start breaking things.
You do not get to be more angry than me!
Bree has decided to keep the baby if theres even the slightest chance it could belong to Roger.
River Run is the opposite direction of their journey, so Murtagh volunteers to take Bree there.
He remembers Jocasta from his days at Leoch.
Oh, do you now Murtagh?
Theyre all packing up to leave and Claire advises Bree to rely on midwives at River Run.
Bree has drawn Rogers portrait to assist in their mission.
Before they go, Ian proposes marriage to Bree out of guilt and concern they wont find Roger.
Bree arrives at River Run with Murtagh and Lizzie in tow and theyre greeted by Ulysses.
They give him Jamies letter, but Jocasta recognizes the sound of Murtaghs voice and his hands.
He astutely knows she mustve paid close attention to his hands to remember them after so long.
Is Jocasta getting handsy?
Murtagh introduces Bree to Jocasta, and they explain shes Jamie and Claires daughter from Boston.
Jocasta feels her face and decides she can stay.
Turns out Bree Fraser gives good face…take note, Madonna.
After drinking from a waterfall, he stumbles and falls over the edge of a road.
The Mohawk chase him through the woods, but he successfully hides behind a bush.
He pulls the gemstones from his pocket and begins to cry as he ponders his options.
