They are to head back north for the winter. The push south might have done this, but there will be no push southward to London. They must change history and refrain from the deadly day they spend on Culloden Moor. When they all come out of the room Jamie apologizes to Claire for not succeeding in getting the other military leaders to join the push south. Book readers are probably scratching their heads at this, I know I was for a minute, then I realized why. Jamie is the only one in the room firmly behind the Prince in this decision. All of the room is against the Prince’s approach to push further southward to take London. Inside the ‘war room’ the leading officers and junior officers, including Jamie ( Sam Heughan), are all discussing the next approach to the mission. From nurse to dentist, very versatile our Sassenach! As everyone is waiting, we see Claire working on a man’s teeth. This leaves the Jacobite forces weakened in comparison to the British. The Prince had anticipated them all rallying to his cause, but many have not. But, as Jamie tried to warn Prince Charles (Andrew Gower) in France, the clans do not always do as expected. Claire ( Caitriona Balfe) begins explaining through voice-over that they have done very well in the early aspects of the campaign.

A bit of foreshadowing of things to come maybe? Let’s find out.Īs the episode opens we see the current Jacobite encampment in northern England. A servant is dusting and preparing the Duke of Sandringham’s (Simon Callow) wig, and when he is just about done it topples forward to the floor.

We open with one of the best title cards this season, though ‘The Fox’s Lair’ title card was very majestic with that beautiful red fox, in my humble opinion. But trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed. A few surprises snuck in, and some interesting twists as well. If you were expecting it to go strictly by the book you might need to change your expectations just a bit.
