She explains she didn’t know where they stood, which Roger can scarcely believe.
Things get hot and heavy pretty fast, but Bree stops.
Last time they got this close to doing the deed, Roger tried to force the issue of marriage.
Has he changed his mind?
You’ll marry me.
How could I say no to a man who pursued me for 200 years?"
RAINBOWS, HEARTS, FIREWORKS, SQUEEEEEEEEEE.
Instead, he decides they should try hand-fasting.
Brianna is all in on this idea.
Claire and Jamie are dressed up in their finery to accompany the governor to the theater.
Which, as it turns out, means meeting Martha Washington and her good old husband George.
George had apparently surveyed some of Jamie’s land in the past because of course, he did.
George has never heard of Culloden because he was born and raised a Virginian.
Bro, do you even hear yourself?
Tryon is particularly gleeful about the prospect of capturing their leaderone Murtagh Fitzgibbons.
Back in the barn, Bree and Roger perform their hand-fasting ceremony.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, they can finally get it on.
Their first time is painful for Bree, but Roger still treats her with care.
While Murtagh stands in danger of being ambushed, Jamie continues to watch the play feeling powerless.
Jamie calls for a surgeon, which Claire obviously is.
But she’s cool with it since forcing Fanning to have surgery might just save his life.
If she doesn’t operate now, Fanning will die.
She tries to knock him unconscious with liquor before cutting into him.
“Is there a war I’m not aware of?”
“Aye,” Jamie replies.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge you non-prophetic important historical figure!
She asks the governor and three other men to hold Fanning down while she operates.
And you thought your healthcare system was bad.
Claire impresses Tryon as he realizes she probably saved Fanning’s life.
Jamie returns to the fray just in the nick of time before anyone can realize he’s been missing.
He says he hopes he managed to reach Murtagh in time.
At the last moment, Fergus appears to warn them at Jamie’s behest.
Fergus explains to Murtagh that there is a spy among the regulators.
Wrapped up in post-coital bliss, Bree and Roger discuss their plans for the future.
This is definitely the wrong thing to say.
But he doesn’t know how since everyone he told was at the play with him.
Except, another man mentions, he saw Colonel Washington leave during the medical emergency.
Bree is distraught over her break-up as she comes back to the tavern.
Stephen Bonnet is there playing cards, and he moves to bet Claire’s wedding ring.
But first, he grabs Brianna and asks her to blow on it for luck.
When Bonnet has finished raping her, she’s bleeding and shaking on the table.
He hands her the ring, saying, “I pay for my pleasures.
I’m an honest manfor a pirate.”
Sir, I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
We can live through the force of her trauma without it being exploited.
