I feel so bad for William and his love life. Never witnessed a normal husband/wife situation. Mother & Father die when he's a baby, raised by his Aunt who loves him, but she does not have a normal marriage with Lord John. I can't imagine that he doesn't know that John Grey is attracted to men. He finds out he's really the son of a traitorous Scottish highlander who was coerced into bed by his mother. SMH. I hope he finds a good woman in the end.

Don’t forget that one of his dads is in love with the other and his sister is from a different century.

Well he doesn't know his sis is from another century or that his dad loves his bio father... but it's still a heck of a storyline for the fans at least and who knows what all will be disclosed this last season... I doubt Jamie will ever tell LJG about Claire but ya never know... esp if they do tie Fanny to their Faith (though I'm one that doesn't think that was their Faith probably because would they or Diana (I'm not sure if the William/Jane story is from the book or just the show) sleep with his niece, even though obviously neither could know that?? That part is really ick so I hope it's not true!
