On Outlander Season 6 Episode 2, Jamie struggles with his first request as Indian Agent. Roger presides over an unusual funeral. Marsali gives birth. However, the joy is short-lived when a discovery is made.

Warning… Spoilers below!

On Outlander Season 6 Episode 3, Marsali’s baby, Henri, is placed in a basket and set off down the river by some local kids, including Henri’s older brother, Germain. Some of the locals think that Henri is the devil’s seed. Roger jumps in as Henri heads off towards the rapids and saves him just in time! Roger baptizes Henri in front of the kids.

Drawves

Fergus tells Claire how he saw dwarves treated in the brothels of Paris. It was cruel and he is worried about his son living like that. Claire reminds him that he isn’t living in a brothel anymore and Henri will be fine.

Tom talks to Claire about the surgery on his hand. He is ready for it, but doesn’t want to use ether, as he thinks it’s a devil’s potion. He wants to feel the pain.

Roger and Germain go about the Ridge and collect all the boys who helped put Henri in the river for Jaime to pass out punishments.

Pain and Punishment

Claire starts surgery on Tom’s hand without any ether. He is screaming out in pain while Jaime is quoting him scriptures and pouring Tom some whiskey. Malva is caught spying on the surgery by Ian.

Ian walks Malva home. On the way, Malva tells Ian that her mother was hanged for being a witch.

Jaimes makes all the children involved with Henri being put into the river, choose between touching a hot poker or Henri. The children are scared of the dwarf baby, but decide to touch Henri instead of the hot poker.

Visions

Marsali comes home after work to find Fergus drunk, yet again, after he already promised her he’d quit. She tells him that not all the stress of protecting the family falls on him, she can help too. She explains that Lionel Brown didn’t die, she murdered him! This makes Fergus angrier and he tells Marsali to get him another drink. She does and then she pours it on his head. She kicks him out and he leaves.

Claire and Jaime are discussing the Henri incident as she is getting around for bed, when she sees a vision of Lionel in her mirror. She can hear his voice.

Claire goes downstairs to check on Tom. Tom impresses on her the fact that he doesn’t believe she is a witch, and he isn’t one of Jaime’s little followers.

Stories

Ian tells Malva some of his life stories as they are out picking cottontails together. He has seen and done so much already and Malva is just starting to see and do. They share a moment when she touches his face.

Tom and Claire talk about books and stories. Tom tells her how Jaime would tell the men stories back at Ardsmuir and keep morale up. She loans Tom a book. As he is leaving he tells Claire that Richard Brown stopped by and offered his protection. Claire says to refuse the offer because Richard can’t be trusted.

Jaime finds Malva out in the woods. He questions Malva about both her mother and her father and makes a joke about Malva getting married soon. This makes Malva nervous.

Fighting

At Jaime’s house, Fergus is drunk and confronts a couple that is staring at him. It’s one of Tom’s followers. The woman accuses Fergus of being a drunk, and calls Henri grotesque. Fergus throws his drink in the woman’s face and then attacks her husband! Claire jumps in and scolds the woman for what she said about Henri. Tom tells his followers to have pity on these folks and to leave. You can see major separation within the group.

Jaime sees Fergus head off to the woods by himself and follows him. Fergus slices his wrist! Jaime is trying to save him and Fergus is fighting him off, so he can die. Jaime tells Fergus that they all need the real Fergus to come back home.

A delivery truck arrives at Jaime’s house. It’s the guns for the Cherokees, they asked for. A newspaper arrives with the delivery as well. The Boston Tea Party incident is on the front page!
