Jamie have suspicion about the ambush spot when they arrive. It's like a small open tunnel without way out. Jamie immediately sense its a trap. Redcoats suddenly attack them from the higher ground.

Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

Three days, and still no sign of Jamie or Ian.
Every day I sat on the steps and stared at the road, as if I could will them to appear.

Claire and Jenny joy for the new baby soon replace with worries and fear when Ian cross the Lallybroch gate in hurt condition. No sight of Jamie.
