And back in the future.
With Jamies wedding ring as the only tangible evidence of the Scots existence.
They were all gone.
A distraught Claire still garbed in her 18th-century frocks begins walking the gravel roads of the Highlands.
And its all bad news: Its 1948 and the British conquered the clans.
Fast-forward to a hospital in Inverness, and Frank is excitedly rushing to his two-years-gone brides side.
Hello, Im back, she says glibly.
(Also, understatement of the century[s].)
And Im so grateful, he replies.
But when he further approaches, Claire recoils, understandably.
Frank, is undeterred though and tells her that hes arranged for lodging at Reverend Wakefields while she recuperates.
Frank insists that he doesnt need an explanation, but Claire obviously needs to get everything off her chest.
For a moment, Frank is overjoyed, clearly thinking its his.
Its Jamies, Claire confirms.
Im carrying another mans child, Frank.
you better think about that and what that means.
(Too bad Tae Bo didnt exist in the 1940s!)
She agrees, and the two are off to Boston to start over again.
(*GabaldonsDragonfly in Amberopens in the 1960s, with Frank dead.
NEXT:Paris, je taime
So how did Claire get back to 1940s Scotland?
What happened when she and Jamie arrived in France?
France reeks of frogs, Murtagh grumbles.
At their quarters, Claire and Jamie begin discussing their plan for thwarting the Jacobite rising.
He and Claire pay a visit to his cousin Jared whos part of the movement.
Jared is dubious: Jamies never expressed political aspirations before.
Another country, another enemy, Jamie muses to Claire.
Life with you is never dull, Sassenach.
