[Claire] Previously...

[Jamie] We've lost so much.

Nothing is guaranteed.

I keep thinking
about Lallybroch.

You want to go back to Scotland?

May I present my son?

William Ransom.

We must sever all
connection between us.

I shall remain your
most humble friend.

[Roger] I wish I could've
seen it in its heyday.

We found the Nuckelavee, Da.

And you're related!

[g*nsh*t blasting]

[Jamie] I swore to myself

I would never face my son
across the barrel of a g*n.

Rob Cameron.

Yeah, I know who you are.

He did it.

Rob took Jem through the stones.

I'm going after him.

I want to help.

I will find him, Bree.

I'll bring him home.

Will you watch
over Rollo for me?

Of course I will,

because it means
thee will return.

[Jamie] We're getting
our wish, Sassenach.

We're going to Scotland.

[Jamie] Dear Bree,
your mother, Ian, and I

have now accomplished
what was asked of us

and have brought Simon Fraser
back to his brother, Hugh,

and to his eternal
resting place.

His body came home to Scotland

so that his soul could
go home to the Lord,

but I hadna thought how
my own soul might feel

out on the wild moorland
wi' bagpipes playing.

♪ ♪

I stood on my native soil,

felt the wind's keen embrace,

thought I saw the
heavens darken.

It seemed to me that
a storm was coming...

and not one of this Earth,
but one of my own making,

and one I knew I must face

as we made onwards
to Lallybroch.

I realize now that
places hold tight

to the things that
happen in them,

and to come again to a
place you've once lived

is to be brought face-to-face
with what you've done there

and who you've been.

I pray that all is well with you

and take solace in the fact that

whatever storms you may face,

you have Roger and the
bairns by your side.
