Jamie furious about the watch present but Jenny defend she have no better choice while Jamie away to protect their estate and tenants. Claire ask Jamie to not provoke the watchmen.
Taran, the watchmen leader, try to dig into Jamie background. Ian and Jamie tells stories of their time together in France. It turns out Taran was in the army as well. One of Taran's men set the hay in fire because Jamie can't keep his mouth shut. They get into the fight. See how Jamie fight, Taran offer Jamie to join him. Horrocks, the man Taran expected, arrive at Lallybroch.
Jenny's water is broke while she and Claire washes clothes. After checking on her, Claire tells Jenny the baby is breech and they have to turn him. Claire is failed to change the baby position. The midwife couldn't come so it's all in Claire hands now.
Jamie finally got to talk to Horrocks alone. Horrocks ask some money from Jamie and he promise Jamie won't see his face again. Ian tells Jamie he doesn't want what Randall did to Jenny to happen again. That's why he get along with the watch. Jamie finally tells Ian the truth about Horrocks.

Taran have suspicion on Jamie for Horrocks disappearance and say he's one man short. Jamie offer to ride with him just once. So is Ian.
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.
