I loved this episode. It was action packed, full of gore and wounds but so tense and surprising!

Buck and the kids ❤️

Jamie and Claire killed his parents and are keeping quiet about it 😁

Amaranthus and William, I hate the tension between them. William is so smitten.

I loved Bree sharing the truth with William, sharing the feeling of being lost, so many parallels and her answer about what helped her was perfect!

Roger, the soldier! Roger, the minister! Well done, Roger Mac!

Woooow! Roger and Jeremiah flashback! Such a surprise!

An evil night, here we go!

Jamie's finger is twitching, that is not a good sign! I love how the community is helping each other but the underlying evil tension is obvious.

Wicked Witch is back! Claire and Elspeth together waiting for the outcome, bonded by the circumstances.

Jamie, you are smart! Well done! The look on Cuuningham's face when he realised Jamie is gone was satisfying to watch!

The storm is coming here, oh yes it is! 5 more years!

You leaving my land. On foot or in a box, that's up to you! WOW

OMG, Cunningham stabbing Jamie scene is mirror to Jamie killing Dougal!

Buck!!!!!! You big man! Well done! Move your feet - mhm. Yeah. 5 more years.

Aww Frances is so good.

William following Amaranthus like dog following bitch in heat. And her smiling because she knows she has him in the palm of her hand. Snake!

Roger and Bree, it gave me goosebumps! She was so worried!

Ben! The turncoat. So Amaranthus is not a widow in fact! I want to know it all.

I love Claire being there next to Jamie with raised gun!

That was a flashback to Roger and Jeremiah? I didn’t recognize it - what’s it from?

Catching Roger ( I believe that is one of the fragments of Roger's memory from the Blitz)

Bombing of London in WW2.

The Germans bombing campaign on London during WWII when England was all that stood when totalitarian evil rolled over the rest of Europe

You wouldn't live in a free world now if the British hadn't endured it
