Sophie Skelton on the differences in Brianna between the past and the future, the false sense of security in the present, and what it was like to be isolated from the rest of the cast.
Here are the live viewer ratings for the first three episodes of the season: A Life Well Lost, The Happiest Place on Earth, and Death Be Not Proud. None of them seem great but I believe these are great for live viewer ratings as most are viewed on apps and encore showing so we aren’t seeing viewer ratings but the live cable ratings.
I don’t normally post for the 4th of July but since Jamie and Claire are hard at work fighting for their new home I thought it apropos and why not use the flag from their time.
Brianna and Roger visit Fiona at Rev. Wakefield’s old manse only to find out that Fiona received a delivery for Jemmy which has been in a bank vault for 200 years. Inside they find letters from Jamie and Claire and what appears to be a musket ball.
The first letter Brianna and Roger read is about the fire at the Big House. Roger comes to the conclusion that Brianna is the reason for the fire. She went back in time and made matches which is what Donner used to accidentally ignite the ether. They believe they changed history and that the fire that killed Jamie and Claire can not happen because the house is already gone.
The Frasers have tried to prevent the fire at the Ridge that is supposed to kill both Jamie and Claire. Wendigo Donner shows up and is angry that Roger’s response to his please for help was to “pray for him.” Donner had a gemstone and tried to go through the stones as Ocracoke but failed. He ended up in the same place only now without a gemstone. He wants Jamie and Claire to give him one and brought brigands to assist him in getting what he wants. Did the knowledge of the fire change history?
Jamie races towards Wilmington to rescue Claire from the gallows, only to discover that the American Revolution has well and truly reached North Carolina.
While being held up for gemstones by Donner; his crew finds a bar of gold in Mrs. Bug’s sewing basket. Jamie immediately recognizes it as the Frenchman’s Gold. Jamie is outraged and asks Arch Bug where it came from. Arch tells him it is not his concern but Jamie disagrees. They don’t have much time to discuss it because Donner accidentally blows up the Big House.
Wendigo Donner traveled back in time with Robert Springer (Otter Tooth) via the standing stones at Ocracoke. Roger and Brianna decided to use this stones when they travel back to the future after learning baby Amanda has a heart condition that can be corrected with modern medicine in the future.
