It quickly becomes clear that Tom has gained zero chill, religiously speaking, in the intervening years. He’s there because he heard about Jamie offering land to his Ardsmuir men, and he and his group need a place to live. When Marsali takes him aside and they talk about how he’s drinking too much, he replies, “I’m sorry I’m such a disappointment.” Oh book readers, it certainly seems like they’re going there this season, no?īLAST FROM THE PAST | While Claire and Jamie are gone, Tom approaches the house, and Brianna and Roger invite him in. Much later, we’ll see Fergus show up to a family event drunk. When Claire mentions that Fergus should be helping out with the house and taking care of the kids, Marsali looks squirrelly.
Marsali is exhausted, and she has a bruise that sure looks like a grip mark on her wrist. But the conversation doesn’t get far before they arrive so Claire can examine her very pregnant daughter-in-law. On the wagon ride down to Fergus and Marsali’s place, they talk about how Jamie has been perhaps a little hovery ever since Claire’s kidnapping and rape. Plus, the British still want Jamie to be an Indian agent for the Crown, a job he very much does not want and plans to turn down. But when he does, she’s excited: She dosed herself with the ether she made, and the anesthetic appears to have worked! (He’s less impressed.) They quickly review all of the terribleness that might come at them in the near future: the Browns, the war, the group of vigilantes calling itself a committee of safety. Jamie finds Claire passed out on the bed in her surgery, and it takes quite some effort to rouse her. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and I’m having a hard time reconciling that now? Eh, it’ll pass.įirst, though, let’s talk about life on the Ridge. Is this a good time to tell you that, while reading the books, I always pictured Tom Christie as looking more like Rev. So when Jamie returns to the cell, he announces that “From now on, the prison will be a lodge and we will be Freemasons, united in the belief of the Great Architect of the Universe.” It’s not an instant fix - Tom Christie and his allies don’t immediately sign up - but it’s a start.ĮTHER? I BARELY KNOW ‘ER! | Then we skip ahead to 1773, and Fraser’s Ridge, where Tom and a group of fisherfolk from Scotland have just shown up. He asks the governor to make him a Freemason, as well all that is required is that Masons believe in a supreme being “as I do,” Jamie assures him.

They need food, medicine and a little peace - and Jamie has a plan on how to bring that about.
MacDubh responds that the men are divided. The governor calls Jamie in for a meeting, asks why he won’t do as told. But before she can say, “ Damn baby, what did you do to your hair?,” the torture is over and the sassenach disappears. While the punishment is going on, Jamie imagines he sees Claire walking toward him, wearing white. An elderly prisoner puts a piece of tartan - which by that time had been outlawed - on the dead man’s body in order to protect the man, Jamie lies and says the piece of cloth is his.įor this, he is stripped - oh, hello scarred back prosthetic! Haven’t seen you in ages! - and whipped in front of everyone. During a hard labor session one day, a fight breaks out between the Protestant prisoners and the Catholic ones Jamie mostly stays out of it, rushing in only at the end when one of the men takes a heavy rock to the head and dies. Grey didn’t take over as governor of the facility until 1755 (which is when the Ardsmuir scenes in Season 3’s “All Debts Paid” take place) I’m less clear on when Murtagh arrived, but it’s also possible he’s on the premises yet too sick at the time of this flashback to be out and about with the men as they work.Īnyway, this whole section goes on for a loooooong time, but the basics are these: Tom Christie is a holier-than-thou Protestant Christian who doesn’t get along with most of the other (Catholic) prisoners but who shares a kinship with the prison’s governor because they’re both Freemasons. MEET TOM CHRISTIE | I didn’t think Ardsmuir could get less fun, but we revisit Jamie’s time there starting in 1753, when there’s no Lord John Grey and no Murtagh.
