"The moon was in the water, and you became a white raven. You flew over the water and swallowed the moon. The white raven flew back and laid an egg in the palm of her hand. The egg split open, and there was a shining stone inside. She knew this was great magic, that the stone could heal sickness... My husband's grandmother says that you have medicine now, but you will have more. When your hair is white like snow, you will have wisdom beyond time."

“It’s good to be home again,” I said softly. “It is.” Jamie sighed and pulled me closer, my head tucked into the curve of his shoulder. “I did have the strangest dreams, sleeping in the cold.”

“You did?” I stretched, luxuriating in the soft yielding of the feather-stuffed mattress. “What did you dream about?” “All kinds of things.” He sounded a bit shy.

“I dreamt of Brianna, now and again.”

“Really?”

That was a little startling; I too had dreamt of Brianna in our icy shelter—something I seldom did.

“I did wonder …” Jamie hesitated for a moment. “Has she a birthmark, Sassenach? And if so, did ye tell me of it?”

“She does,” I said slowly, thinking. “I don’t think I ever told you about it, though; it isn’t visible most of the time, so it’s been years since I noticed it, myself. It’s a—” His hand tightening on my shoulder stopped me.

“It’s a wee brown mark, shaped like a diamond,” he said. “Just behind her left ear. Isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is.” It was warm and cozy in bed, but a small coolness on the back of my neck made me shiver suddenly. “Did you see that in your dream?”

“I kissed her there,” he said softly.

Season 4 Ep 4

Let’s talk about how fairly impoverished settlers should be paying me more taxes in front of a giant rose bouquet the size of a wagon wheel. Jamie makes the deal for his land with the sketchy allegiances and looming conflict laid out very clearly. True Fraser fashion.

Young Ian is off on an expedition to trade with some tribes 😬. ...Well Ian didn’t get kidnapped by natives! Diana Galbadon let that one go!

Claire why don’t you want to stick around for childbirth of wee Marsali? We know you love a good childbirth. Claire gets all emotional thinking about how Brianna doesn’t have her to help birth her babies. Why do you think Brianna is having a child right this minute? She is 22! The show insists this must be the case.

It’s manifest destiny time! Let’s bang some posts into our property boundaries, find some old trees. Better carve our names into this old growth. Confrontation with natives comes very soon

Oh god, I’d rather watch someone get blasted by a Cherokee rifle than check in on how Roger is feeling. Don’t care, don’t care! Finally, a lady historian! And she has done what Roger for all his self interest has not done. Research! The author of Scottish settlers in colonial America or whatever sends Roger the results of her diligence and expertise because she is a dutiful historian.

Let’s discuss our frontier building projects. A wee shed for your doctor habits 🥰

Oh god Brianna, just hang up the phone and hang out with your beautiful friend and cool French bulldog. Live your life! Tell Roger to go fuck himself and go have brunch with your roommates. But Roger has some historical discovery to convey. Brianna! what an idiot, you give Roger a book without reading it first? He gets the historical tidbit. You could have had that tidbit about your mom yourself. You don’t need him! But of course now you will feel you do!

Surprise! The bear terrorizing the American wilderness is just a human in a bear suit. This surprises no one. In a bit of poetic subtlety, Jamie stabs the native bear avatar with his boundary marker like he is staking a vampire. Jamie builds a sledge to carry the bear man carcass back to the village. His absolute dearth of cultural knowledge allows him to make amends with the local tribe.

I’m very torn, they make this Cherokee representative say something like “sometimes the monster is man”in a way that must have felt like wad of peanut butter rolling off the tongue but they also say they banish rapists from their society, so that’s something.

So nice this Cherokee speaks perfect English .... and can understand the abomination that is Scottish English. They give Jamie a nice nickname, bear killer. Very ominous encounter with Cherokee healer grandma for Claire.

Oh, back to Roger. This poor homely friend is too nice to him. But at least she has some history to contribute. Jamie and Claire will be dead! Soon! I’m willing to wager though that they don’t actually die. We all know journalistic standards aren’t what they used to be.

Oh no. Brianna is going to Scotland. She is not prepared for this!

Speaking of being being an awesome gif maker... did you notice that the scene where Jaime shows Claire around the imaginary cabin, resembles Douchebag showing Clair around the Boston apartment? “This is the history professors study I presume? “ vs “ the front door I presume? “ DoucheHusband shows her the kitchen. The King of all Men shows her her future surgery. Would be swell to see that in gif form. 😜😬😘 please?

Thanks! I LOVE this request—perfectly highlights how Claire is back where she belongs. 

On the left we have an awkward discussion between two people who are essentially strangers. It’s distinctly focused primarily on what Frank wants. Though he tries to be reassuring and make her happy, it speaks volumes that he thinks she’ll be content just being a happy homemaker. They hardly need furniture for their new home with all the elephants in the room.

In contrast, she has an easy banter with the other man, who he isn’t forcing her to be something she’s not. She has complete love and adoration for him as he tells her of his dreams for their new life. He loves every single part of his wife and admires and respects her need to be a healer. Beautiful.

With that bear around, I thought I’d see if I remembered how to shoot. Seems ye haven’t forgotten much.

“My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.” Poem from yer time? It’s a song called, “America.” It has the same melody as “God Save Great George Our King.” Ye’re telling me the Americans stole it from King George and made it their own? (laughs) We did. Ah, (chuckles) heartily applaud it, then.
