[Outlander Summary] S02E10: Prestonpans.


Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

How many men had I seen killed in war?. This Highlander who had run afoul of a Redcoat patrol was only the latest one.

The rebellion Jamie and I had laboured so hard to prevent was upon us. Our only hope was that somehow we could change the outcome.

I feared in my heart that history would not be rewritten. That no matter how many battles we might win, victory would remain forever out of reach.

How many men had I seen killed in war?. Far, far too many.

Jamie is frustrated with the disagreement of their war plan between Prince Charles advisors. Angus is getting bored and starting a silly fight with Lallybroch's men. To get a better plan, Jamie asking Dougal to take a measure of the marshland between their camp and the British troops to find out if the ground can support a man on horseback and infantry.

Prince Charles praise Dougal courage and happy with the new knowledge they gather from Dougal act. Claire keep herself busy by commanding a field hospital she build. She train and give order to women so they ready to treat wounded soldiers. And for Fergus, she give order to keep the kettle fires burning, which Fergus complain as women's work.

At night, Fergus bring a young man who is the son of land owner where British army camp. He tells Claire about a small and hidden trail that can be useful for Highland troops. Prince Charles decide to use this information to attack the British army.


Back in field hospital, Claire and the women has been busy taking care of wounded soldiers, both from British and highlander side. One of the Lallybroch's men, Kincaid, is dead, and Angus bringing a wounded Rupert to Claire, demand an instant caring from her. Worry about Rupert, Angus forgot his own wound from canon blast. Until it's too late for Claire to save him.

Like every war, even with their little victory has a price.

Claire Fraser Monologue #1: How many times have I put my hopes, my fears, my secret longings into the hands of a being I can't see, can't hear, can't even feel?. And how many times have my prayers been answered?. Part 2 Time is a lot of the things that people say God is. There's the preexisting and having no end. There's the notion of being all-powerful, because nothing can stand against time, not mountains, not armies. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, Man, thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return. And if time is anything akin to God, I suppose that memory must be the devil. The episode begin with a flashback of Claire and Bree in Boston after Frank died. Jamie and his militia arrive in Hillsborough to collect men and meet with Lieutenant Knox. Knox gave Jamie a letter from governor Tyron that say he intends to pardon th...
