Want to clear things with Claire, the captain invite her and Jamie to dinner. Being sea sick, Jamie couldn't make it.

 Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

The days started blending together. For me, this meant tending to minor injuries... and making medicines. Being on the ship at sea,
with endless horizons, appealed to me... It reminded me of a simpler time.


The ship suddenly stop moving because there is no wind. Some of the crew member have their superstitious guess why this rare phenomenon happen. They plan to find who is bring this bad luck and throw the person overboard.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

The days turned into weeks and the wind did not return. We were becalmed in the middle of a vast ocean, hundreds of miles from the nearest shore. Even the most experienced sailors were growing anxious and beginning to fear the worst.

The rain finally coming and that's mean they have the wind to move again. A British navy ship approach them and the acting captain ask if they have a surgeon on board. They suffered an outbreak of infectious plague. Claire offer herself to help for the day but when she's on board, the captain decide to moving continue their journey to Jamaica.

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.
