We are privy to a glimpse of the past where the indigenous people are dancing around a set of standing stones. Many cultures did this in different locations to open the passageway in the stones.

Jamie and Claire discover another set of standing stones on Jamaica called Abandawe which is part of the reading Margaret Campbell gave Claire in Edinburgh. While the standing stones are on top of the hill, Geillis Duncan finds a pool of water in the cave underneath the standings stones. This pool acts as a doorway through time.
After encountering Geillis and realizing she is the one who kidnapped Young Ian, Claire and Jamie set out to stop Geillis from traveling to the future through the stones in the cave locals call Abandawe. Jamie realizes one of his pictures of Brianna is missing and Claire believes Geillis is going after Brianna because of the Brahan Seer’s Prophecy. Before Geillis can go back in time by using Young Ian as a human sacrifice, Claire kills her with an axe to prevent her from going after Brianna. Claire realizes these are the bones Joe was studying and the warning Margaret gave her. Source: Eye of the Storm
“When twice 1,200 moons have coursed, ‘tween man’s attack and woman’s curse, and when the issue is cut down, then will a Scotsman wear a crown.” Geillis believes is means a 200 year old child must die for a Scottish king to rise. Is Brianna the 200 year old child as she is the child of a man who lived 200 years prior? Source: The Bakra
Needing funds to pay Laoghaire her alimony, Jamie decides to take stones from the Selkie Island treasure (The Frenchman’s Gold).

At the shore, Jamie and Claire watch as Young Ian swims out to the island and then watch as a ship approaches and men capture Young Ian and take him aboard. The two look on helplessly as Young Ian is kidnapped. Obviously someone knows about the treasure and they took Young Ian. Who is after the Frenchman’s Gold? Source: First Wife
Brianna gives Claire a topaz necklace for the passage through the stones. Claire comments that she had on a jeweled watch when she went through the first time and Jamie’s father’s ring when she went through the second time. Roger believes this means they protect you. Geillis believed you could steer with them. Source: Freedom & Whisky
Roger confirms a 202 year time jump for Claire. She disappeared into the past for 3 years and when she returned the same amount of time passed. Which means if 20 years have passed for Claire in the future then 20 years will have passed for Jamie in the past. They should be looking for him in 1766. Source: Of Lost Things
When Claire goes to visit Margaret Campbell, Margaret has a “vision” and tells Claire: “Gleep, gleep. Gleep, gleep. D’ye hear ’em? D’ye hear the tree toads lullaby? And the moon — the moon be chokin’ wi’ blood. Ye must be careful, Abandawe will devour ye. Abandawe, Abandawe. Abandawe…” This ends up referring to the standing stones in Jamaica. Margaret is warning Claire about the passage through the stones. One can assume the “chokin’ wi’ blood” could refer to Geillis’s death. Source: Crème De Menthe
Joe Abernathy is looking over some bones for a friend and gets Claire involved in the “investigation.” Claire touches the bones and says they are a “150 year murder victim.” Joe tells her she’s about 50 years off meaning the bones are 200 years old. These bones were of a white woman found in a cave in Jamaica. This is a lot of information about bones for them not to mean something. Source: Freedom & Whisky
Brianna's professor tells her history class that Paul Revere did not complete his ride because he was captured by the Redcoats and a fellow rider named Prescott completed their mission to warn of the British arrival. However, he did complete part of his ride. On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere was instructed by the Sons of Liberty to ride to Lexington, Massachusetts, to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock about the British troops movements. He accomplished this mission. It was on the way to Concord to warn patriots there; he and his compatriots, were stopped at by the very British soldiers they were warning Adams and Hancock about. Revere was captured and questioned. The British brought him back to Lexington but left him alone when they heard the gunshots from the Battle of Lexington Green. Revere found John Hancock and his family and helped them escape Lexington with a trunk full of incriminating papers. Source: Freedom & Whisky Source: Paul Revere's Ride - the Real Story!
