Still smarting, Claire asks Jamie to distract her, and he relates the days earlier dealings with Duverney.
(Which, honestly, shouldnt be that difficult, right?)
The plan gives Claire pause, however: Inviting the Duke means inviting Alex Randall as well.
Claire decides to finally confess her secret.
She tells Jamie that Black Jack Randall is very much alive.
This is wonderful news!
Jamie exclaims, rather unexpectedly.
Why did you wait so long to tell me?
Claire is baffled by the response, but Jamie has good reason to be chuffed.
Now he gets to watch Black Jack die.
Now he has something to look forward to.
(Other than the impending birth of his child, I guess.)
The apothecary swears he had no idea that Claire was the intended recipient of the potion.
(A servant he didnt recognize made the purchase.)
Youre fascinated by things not of this time, Raymond keenly observes.
As it turns out, Louise is pregnant!
But not by her husband.
Louise confesses this secret to Claire in the hopes that shell help hernotbe with child.
Sleep with my husband?
My lover would be furious!
But Claire isnt buying it, and is livid.
Im supposed to believe you got those bites protecting your virtue?!
I think it best I sleep elsewhere tonight, Jamie says.
But hes not solo for long before Claire tip-toes into his quarters, disrobes, and straddles him.
And the moment we and the couple have long been waiting for happens.
He gets up to investigate when Charles appears in the window.
Hes freshly left his own lover, who has rebuffed him.
And hes taken to the bottle for consolation.
But its not a human bite.
Its a monkey bite.
Louise is with Charles child.
Says Jamie: We use his broken heart to break his bank.
Fast-forward a week to the afternoon of the fete.
He insists she take Murtagh and Fergus as escorts and instructs Fergus to ensure Claire gets home in time.
Murtagh is quickly dispatched by one of the attackers, while another grabs Claire.
She can only watch helplessly as Mary is attacked and raped.
(Take note of one of the bandits birthmark.)
Scared, they all run off.
Hence, the attackers fear of Claire thinking she is La Dame Blanche.)
(That guy!)
He blithely congratulates Louise before downing his wine glass.
Its Mary, whos woken disturbed, eventually chased and tackled by Alex.
(In as nice and loving manner as possible, mind you.)
But the dinner party thinks shes being raped, and an epic fight breaks out in the parlor.
The episode ends with the Comte telling his wife to summon the authorities.
