[Outlander Summary] S02E08: The Fox's Lair.


Back in Scotland, Jamie received a letter from his cousin, Jared, that have Jamie name signed along witth Stuart Crest. It's mean all the clan or an individual name pledging loyalty to Charles Stuart. However Jamie never sign it. His cousin forged his signature.

Charles has landed in Scotland and gathering his army. Jamie has no choice now except join the rebellion army. Claire suggested they leave the country instead. But, Jamie choose to fight for his family and Scotland, and hoping the change of history along the way.

Jamie and Claire go to visit his grandfather, Lord Lovat, to ask support for Jacobite and in two weeks will be meet Murtagh and Lallybroch's men in Kingussie.

Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

During our ride to Beaufort Castle, Jamie filled me in on what he knew of his grandfather. Over the last 50 years, Lord Simon Fraser of Lovat
had been alternately loyal< to both the exiled King James and the monarchs sitting on the British throne.

His personal life was equally infamous. Aside from numerous extramarital dalliances, Lord Lovat had had three wives, two of them acquired by nefarious means.

Surprisingly when they arrive at Beaufort Castle, they also meet Column MacKenzie there. He came with the same interest, the war. Still having suspicious Column has something to do with the witch trial, Claire is not happy to see him.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

While Jamie's meeting dragged on, I took the opportunity to look over the place Lord Lovat called home.

Not completely recover from Column presence, Claire again shock when she meet Laoghaire. She's on duty to accompany Column to help with his laundry. Laoghaire apologize to Claire for horrible things she did to her, say she has changed. Still angry to the young girl, Claire didn't give her forgiveness.

At dinner the leaders of the clan discuss wheter they will support Jacobite army or not. While Jamie show his support for King James, his uncle Column has his doubt. Jamie think Jenny is right, his grandfather wants something in exchange.

The next day Claire approach Laoghaire, tell her there is a way to earn Jamie forgiveness. Aware Simon, Lord Lovat's son, infatuated with Laoghaire, Claire ask her to help boost his confidence to stood up to his father and took Jamie's side.

When Claire leave Laoghaire and Simon, she go to small chapel across the street and meet Lord Lovat's seer, Maisri. Claire ask the seer what she saw about Lord Lovat that makes him mad the day before. Back at the castle, Lord Lovat have documents that will decide if the Lovat clan join the war or not. Before Jamie sign the document, Claire play an act using information she received from Maisri.

Claire Fraser Monologue #3:

As we put distance between ourselves and Jamie's loathsome grandfather, my heart lightened.

We had Lovat's men now. Jamie would have the prince's favour and at least the opportunity to steer the rebellion to victory.

Maisri had said we could change the future. Perhaps we already had.

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.
