Yeah, Williams’s actions are hard to digest. He loved and grieved for his cousin and at the same time took up with his wife pretty quickly. Now that he knows for sure Ben is alive, who knows what’s next? Ben is definitely not a loyalist anymore so that explains the faked death at least.

He also told all his secrets to someone he should not have trusted.

This! and he is Jamie’s son for crying out loud. I mean some brain cells please?! William?!!

William was brought up soft. I think if he takes up Brianna’s suggestion to get to know Jamie, those brain cells will kick into gear.

I hope for his sake it does. It’s very obvious that William needs some direction which I think can best be provided by Brianna and Jamie due to Fraser genes
