Love the opening title card showing Claire right before she finds Jamie and the print shop. This is a moment from the book so it was fun to see.
The book given to Ulysses is Pamela which is another nod to the books as it is one Jamie talks to Lord John about at Ardsmuir Prison.
(more…)A new detail about the time travel rules is gemstones appear to be warm to the touch to a traveler while non-travelers do not feel the warmth. Claire, Roger, and Brianna feel the warmth of Otter Tooth's opal. Jemmy believes the gem is hot which Brianna believes is because he's the product of two travelers. Source: Journeycake

A revelation about Jemmy forces Roger and Brianna to choose between staying in the eighteenth century and returning to the safety of the future. Jamie finds that unrest in the back country has given rise to a new power.
(more…)Brianna is the daughter of Claire a time traveler and can travel. Roger is the descendant of Geillis Duncan who is a time traveler and can travel. Jemmy is able to hear the gem stones. Gem stones which are typically warm to travelers appear hot to him suggesting is ability is stronger. This makes it likely he is the product of two travelers: Brianna and Roger. One of Claire’s parents had to be a traveler. One of Roger’s parents had to be a traveler. Source: Journeycake, Between Two Fires, Man of Worth
After Roger is sold to the Mohawk by Young Ian, he comes across a buzzing in the woods and finds a clearing with a standing stones much like Craigh na Dun. When he is freed from the Mohawk’s Roger returns to the stones but can’t bring himself to go through without Brianna. When Roger and Bree decides to return to the future, they go to the stones Roger came across when traveling with the Mohawk. Something goes wrong and the trio is left in the past.

The Mohawk tell Jamie, Claire and Ian about Otter Tooth (the previous owner of Claire's stone). He appeared to know the future. He told the Mohawk of the future. He tried to convince them to war on the white man going so far as to scalp some nearby. He angered the elders who sent him away but he was always nearby ranting and raving. They thought him possessed and chased him for days until they caught up to him and killed him. They continued to hear his words even after taking his head and so buried his head far away, under a tree where Claire eventually found his skull and satchel with the opal inside. Young Ian gives Claire and Jamie Otter Tooth or Robert Springer's journal. In Springer's journal he mentions others: Rains Hard, Strong Walker, Six Turtles and Talks with Spirits. It seems Otter Tooth went back too far. Source: Journeycake, Man of Worth
Jeremiah “Jemmy” MacKenzie is the son of Brianna and Roger MacKenzie, though believed to be the biological son of Brianna’s rapist Stephen Bonnet. Jemmy is drawn to gemstones because of a noise they make. However, when playing with Claire’s opal (Otter Tooth’s); he claims it is hot. Brianna, Roger, and Claire feel it’s warmth though Ian and Jamie do not. While holding the stone it breaks apart causing a sound much like the standing stones which only travelers can hear. Brianna believes Jem must be Roger’s child and he has the time traveling gene from both his parents for it to be so strong as to break a gemstone. Source: Journeycake, Down the Rabbit Hole

To make it feel like the tide was coming in on Bonnet, poles of varying heights; however, the water was shallow enough for Ed Speleers to stand up in.

I am truly saddened to even think the cast members of Outlander have to even put up with the harassment of others. It makes me sick. #WeStandWithSam I am extremely proud of @SamHeughan for taking a stand. Know true fans love you!
I’m a truly saddened by fact Sam Heughan felt he had to post about bullying, not because he shouldn’t, but because people in this world seem to think it is okay to harass someone else. I can’t even believe these people are fans of any kind. I can’t even believe they are decent to treat anyone else is such an abhorrent manner.
Outlander Watch stands with Sam on this. Bullying will not be tolerated.

Check it out. Claire’s medical corner of the cabin is now Bree’s art corner. And look at all the touches to make it look like Bree’s styling. I love it. Not only that but Lallybroch is represented!
Remember those tarot cards Marsali was using. Here are the two of note for the episode. The Hanged Man and The Lovers.

Did you love seeing the beginning of the battle? I really did. Watching the first line fire and then the second step forward to fire after while the first line reloaded. I have to admit I never understood how this worked until Outlander showed us. And 400 shots fired while filming. So neat!
