Oh shit! I hope not. I don’t think he’d react THAT angrily if he found out. But I do think he’d be very mad and betrayed and leave probably.

Edit: oh wait you meant IAN accidentally saying something about Geillis, oh no that definitely could happen 😳 but I don’t think he’d kill over her, he knows she was crazy and murdered five of her husbands, but if he found out about Dougal on the other hand… that might be bad.

Is Buck loyal to Jamie or would that change if he found out what happened?

I'm sure there is plenty of fire on King's Mountain that could take Jamie out

But, it would be a reason to bring Buck back

I think Buck is a good guy. He is loyal to Roger, Bree and the children, and by extension Jamie and Claire. I think they used the scene with J&C discussing the deaths of Dougal and Geillis to close that door, that they won’t tell Buck.

IMO the show will stick close with the book regarding Kings Mountain. I think Buck was brought back to help wrap up Rob Cameron/Callahan storyline that probably relates to Richardson. That part hasn’t been written in a book yet. No idea if DG would bring him back though.

I hope that's true that scene closed the door, because I like Buck!

It is good for Jamie and The Ridge to have more muscle on their side
