Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

At first, I found it puzzling...

But then I remembered something that Frank had said.
Odd, indeed, but well worth keeping in mind.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

I reluctantly searched the crowd for my friend.
However, what I found was anything but a grieving widow.
It was then I noticed traces of a peculiar odor...
Bitter almonds.

The same smell you'd find resulting from a dose of cyanide.
And I knew straightaway what had caused Arthur Duncan's sudden demise.
He'd been poisoned.

Jamie came home with a sword scar, a result of bickering with MacDonalds clan after the dual. After what happened with Geillis's husband, Colum order Dougal to return to his home and attend his wife funeral. Jamie, Angus, and Rupert will accompany him. Before he's leaving, Jamie ask Claire to stay away from Geillis.

Claire Randall Monologue #1: Even though I wasn't going by my own choice, I still felt a heaviness leave my breast. And for the first time since I passed through the standing stones at Craigh na Dun, I found myself surrounded by my own people. They might be called Redcoats instead of Tommies, but they were still the British Army I had been a part of for six long years. And somehow it felt liberating to be looked upon with sympathy and respect instead of hostility and suspicion. I knew only too well what Dougal was feeling.
