Fiery Cross - Season 5 ep 1
Baby Jamie and baby Murtagh. What magic did they use to make Murtagh’s skin look so young? Murtagh has made a solemn vow to look after Jamie.
Roger can’t even shave himself and Jamie must do it for him. Roger makes a long monologue about his frontier inadequacies. Just what every father in law wants to hear from the person marrying his daughter- I suck at everything in this century! The viewer knows, however, that Roger wasn’t offering much in the 20th century either.
It’s the wedding day. How do they even know this many people?
They have somehow made an incredibly nice home in just a few months. This heroic friend-amassing and manor-building after abandoning everything for operation “Save Roger” is a feat of pure Scottish magic.
Jamie is very into wedding traditions. Why is Murtagh absent today? Aside from the something borrowed, blue, etc Brianna and Jamie continue Claire’s wedding tradition of slugging whiskey. I too would drink whiskey if that was my wedding dress and I was marrying a man nick-named dogface.
Do you think they are making true crime documentaries about Brianna, Claire and Roger back in the 1970s? All gone without a trace. I think about these things instead of paying attention to Roger and Brianna exchange vows.
Ah, I see. Murtagh has an excused absence. The feds are here at this wedding and he is on America’s most wanted list
Wait. If Jocasta is a Mackenzie and Roger is a Mackenzie, why hasn’t she given him the 9th degree about his parentage? Presumably she would know her own family tree quite well. She is also a lady who likes to know everything, which I admire.
It’s a night of drunken tongue twisters to entertain the guests. Marsali gets more fun every time we see her!
As predicted Stephan bonnet is alive and roaming all up and down the province
Ha. Murtagh is hiding out to meet Jocasta in a stick tent. Those scamps.
Oh no. It’s the wedding night and Roger pulls out the guitar and starts to sing. It is nearly unbearable. Bri is unable to request an annulment because the priest has already departed.
A montage of the very sexy time everybody is having. Everyone except John Grey☹️. He is looking very sad on a bench and all these rustic revelers are coupled up or passed out.
Who is this Duncan Ellis and why does he get to propose to Jocasta.
Lizzy is completely boy crazy. Good for her.
Roger gets himself in a tizzy about Jocasta’s plans to leave her Estate to his son. But Jocasta congratulates herself on being some kind of master mind. Her inheritance and churlish behavior push Roger to accept this child of dubious paternity. I never tire of seeing Roger get played.
Claire’s mini hospital is busier than the ER on Halloween
Boss redcoat is very keen to get Murtagh captured and he is turning the thumbscrews on Jamie. He calls Jamie colonel, which seems strange since he earned that rank in a traitorous rebellion. Anyways, Jamie digs out his old kilt and pistols. Jenny is unloading so many of these old trunks from her attic. “Sure, Jamie. I’ll put that trunk of old clothes on a ship for you. I know that’s how all the ladies prefer to see you anyways. Plus, I need the space for a playroom for my 500 grandbairns.”
Roger misses his cue at the military allegiance ceremony...But he is good at memorizing the little speech. Fergus gets a shoutout
Murtagh. Where will you run? What will you do? Jamie releases him from his vow
