Morale is low, guys.
I mean, people arent even excited that Bree invents matches.
All of this is to say that Frasers Ridges air feels heavy and is only getting heavier.
Jamie is still dealing with two highly delicate situations that could easily become major conflicts at any moment.
Lets start with his dealings with the Cherokee.
He runs into a major problem right away, as is Jamies way.
Jamie meets with Cherokee leaders who are requesting that England supply them with guns.
Settlers are not respecting the treaty lines (surprise, surprise!)
and encroaching on their land and hunting grounds, and they would like to be able to defend themselves.
Still, Jamie is hesitant to even agree to broach the subject with England.
This choice bothers Young Ian, Jamies number two here, a great deal.
But Jamie has his reasons.
Before explaining himself, though, he needs to have sex with his wife.
Claire is very into it!
These grandparents are horny as hell.
Unfortunately, Claires U.S. history is a little fuzzy, and she cant be of assistance.
And thats that on that.
Or so Jamie thinks.
But no, Jamie is satisfied with his decision.
Ian, not so much.
Eventually, Roger rouses Fergus from his latest drunken stupor and gets him to his wifes side.
Except for Claire, God bless her.
Bree ends up bumping into Ian, looking quite distressed.
She tells him how theyll be forced off their land and about how much they will suffer.
Ian feels heaps and heaps of guilt that blessing and a curse thing Jamie was talking about is real.
He vows to help them, even if Jamie continues to refuse.
Back at the Big House, Marsali safely delivers a baby boy.
It seems like maybe Marsali and Fergus have turned a corner, but it doesnt last long.
Its pretty fucked up.
Marsali, however, showers that little baby with so much love and affection.
He has come to give the baby, Henri-Christian, a blessing.
Ian confesses to Marsali that he had a child too, when he was with the Mohawk.
He doesnt say anything more, but it completely puts everything into perspective for Jamie.
Come what may, he says, knowing he only has so much control over his future.
The second delicate situation Jamie is still managing is that of Tom Christie.
Control is Tom Christies problem too.
He doesnt have enough of it on Frasers Ridge.
Malva has been Claires little shadow, wanting to learn as much as she can about healing.
He goes to whip her with his belt, but because of his lame hand, hes unable to.
Its only because of this that he decides to let Claire operate on it.
Other Notes
Wow, what a funeral to kick off Tom Christies new church, huh?
Claire immediately realizes the woman is suffering from an aortic aneurysm, but no one else really gets that.
What a way to go out!
Henri-Christians birth is only complicating the dire situation between Fergus and Marsali.
All of this points to everything getting worse before it gets better.
Rogers young friend Aidan has certainly grown attached to him.
Roger offers to walk him back.
He has a soft spot for Aidan and his mom, Amy.
No good can come from this.
Even with the war coming?
These people are looney tunes.
Lizzy and Kezzie AND Josiah are flirting SO HARD.
