It kicks off with a metaphorical bombshell and ends with a literal explosion.

It tracks so hard; what an A+ reveal.

I will cherish it.

He confesses it to Claire when she finds him weeping over her grave on the Ridge.

He also admits to having sexually abused his sister since, well, basically since birth.

The baby she was pregnant with?

The plan to say Jamie was the father?

Its disturbing, to say the absolute least.

Well all need a shower after watching it.

When Allan goes to shoot himself, Claire stops him.

She refuses to let Toms sacrifice be for nothing, which, I dont know, is A Choice.

Man, the Fraser men are just murdering left and right these days.

She didnt really like Allan from the get-go, which is hilarious.

Anyway, no one cares about Allan.

He is never mentioned again, even in passing!

We are all the better for it!

And for real this time.

No Frasers Ridgewide good-bye just to have the MacKenzies wind up where they started!

Roger and Bree have blue-balled us one too many times!

Without surgery, Mandy will die.

They have to go through the stones.

Im talking about Jamie and Lord John breaking up, friend-wise.

It is very hot.

Both men are teary-eyed as they say good-bye.

That is also hot.

If that isnt high romance, I do not know what is!

Claire tells Roger to look after our girl, and Jamie tells Roger hes proud of him.

Jamie refers to Mickey Mouse as Michael, which is objectively hilarious.

Bree, instead, fills the silence with a gorgeous sentiment about how shell always carry Jamie with her.

Nothing is lost, only changed, she tells him.

And then, theyre gone.

How do you recover from that?

It is bleak as hell.

Its honestly one of the most moving scenes in the whole series.

I cant stop thinking about it.

and tells her to weep for as long as she needs.

We are not done with the misery and trauma yet!

Wendigo escaped and attempted to go through the stones, but he got drunk and it didnt work.

and grow angrier the longer the search goes on.

And haunt them it does: The entire house explodes into flames.

Claire and Jamie really cant catch a break, can they?
