Warning… Spoilers below!

On Outlander Season 6 Episode 6, after church service, Roger asks Claire and Jaime if they have seen the MacNeils. They never miss church service and Roger is worried. Claire volunteers Brianna, Malva, and Lizzie to go with her to check on the McNeils.

The women arrive at the McNeils’ house to an overwhelming stench. Claire recognizes that something is severely wrong. She tells everyone to not touch their faces. The MacNeils and their children are dehydrated and dying right in front of the women.

Dystentry

Claire tells Jaime and Malva that the MacNeils had dystentry that would’ve come from tainted water. Lizzie rushes in, saying that another person is sick and needs Claire immediately.

Jaime heads to warn the people of the Ridge to wash their hands and boil their water. Claire warns that there is no cure for dystentry and all she has is herbs to treat it.

At the funeral for the MacNeils, Claire turns pale and faints. She is burning up with fever! Jaime carries her home.

Fever-Fueled Dreams

Allan shows up at the Fraser’s home to retrieve Malva, Malva won’t leave Claire’s side. Lizzie, Brianna, Jaime, and Malva take turns watching over Claire as she fights for her life.

Malva and Jaime get time alone while others look after Claire. Malva seems a little too interested in Jaime. Claire suffers from fever-fueled dreams and is barely conscious when she sees Malva touching Jaime intimately.

Roger is with Claire when she comes to. Claire notices her hair is cut off! Malva and Mrs. Bug did it to help bring her fever down. Roger explains that Brianna is angry about it and Jaime cried when he saw it. Roger tells Claire that she has been out for a week!

Mysterious Illness

Brianna becomes overly emotional when she finds her mother awake. She tells Claire that she is pregnant! Jaime comes in and tells Claire he found a dead elk in the water by the MacNeil’s house. He lets Claire know that Tom also became sick. Claire tells Jaime about her fever-fueled dreams and how she thinks they are warnings.

Claire goes to see Tom who is shocked to see Claire looking like a monk with her new haircut. Tom and Claire talk and Claire realizes that they didn’t catch the dystentry going around, but suffered a mysterious illness. Claire asks for a sample of Tom’s stool. Tom becomes highly offended. Claire returns home from Tom’s, very weak and tired to find a worried Jaime. She tells Jaime about her and Tom’s mystery illness.

Malva’s Pregnant

A notice is hung on the town’s signpost that reads Refuse British Goods! The Revolutionary War is coming!

Allan, Malva, and Tom show up at Jaime’s house to speak with him. Malva is pregnant and names Jaime as the father! Claire is worried that this is the scene she witnessed during her fever-fueled dreams. Claire slaps Malva and runs away.

Malva uses the scars she saw on Jaime’s body while she was playing Peeping Tom during Jaime and Claire’s lovemaking, as proof of her lies. Tom and Allan now believe Malva and want Jaime to acknowledge and pay for the child.

Claire tells Jaime she saw Malva touching him intimately. Claire says that Brianna, Roger, Jemmy, and even she doesn’t belong here, but she brought them to this time and place for Jaime’s love. Jaime swears he never slept with Malva, but he did sleep with Mary McNab when Claire was gone. Claire believes him and wants to help prove it. Brianna is upset and now comparing Jaime to Frank!

Anger On The Ridge

Claire goes to see Malva and offers Malva her support if only Malva will be honest with everyone. Malva starts crying until her brother comes out. Malva switches immediately and calls Claire a witch. Claire tells Malva to stay away from her family, and Malva cries again.

Obadiah is being mouthy about Jaime’s honor to Young Ian. They fight it out. Young Ian goes to see Claire. Claire looks up and sees Lionel Brown instead of Young Ian for a moment. Young Ian is feeling guilty because he slept with Malva, and it could be his baby. Claire says Malva also slept with Obadiah.

On the Ridge, everyone thinks Claire is a witch and Jaime is just a cheating husband. Jaime is away at the Congress for the beginning of the revolt against Great Britain.

Killer On The Ridge

2 months later, Jaime returns. Roger explains that Jaime wasn’t chosen as a Philadelphia delegate for the Continental Congress, as rumors of Jaime’s affair reach Congress before Jaime does.

Claire is alone in her house, she hears Lionel’s voice and sees Malva walking. Claire panics and locks her door, and self-medicates with ether. In Claire’s ether-induced dream, Malva is in Claire’s house, taunting and mocking Claire. Malva tells Claire she will have everything Claire owns! Claire picks up a knife and threatens Malva

Claire wakes up and goes outside to her garden. She finds a dead Malva with her throat slit. Claire performs a c-section and gives Malva’s baby mouth to mouth. It’s too late, Malva’s baby is dead!
