Back at Fraser's Ridge in North Carolina, Claire is trying to recover from her brutal rape at the hands of Lionel Brown. She is thrilled to have managed to synthesize ether as an anesthetic for performing surgeries. Through Major MacDonald, the governor has asked Jamie to accept a position as Indian Agent for the Crown. He politely declines. The major indicates he will now offer it to Richard Brown. Tom Christie shows up with his son Allen and his daughter Malva seeking a place to live. They have run out of other options. Jamie is gone at the moment, and Roger extends a welcome.

While cutting wood, he lacerates his hand which Claire has to suture back together. Richard Brown and his gang ride up claiming that Allen Christie has stolen a powder horn.
