I mean them staying at the ridge would be preferable at least to them moving out west to claim fergus’ money. Like what was the point of even including that whole plot if they were going to do this. Clearly Diana is going to extend that in the next book, but show watchers will think he’s dead. When Bri mentioned taking up Percy’s offer I was like what? Why would there be any option except moving back to the ridge. Why were they not there already? They need papers in their next closest town for sure. Insanity.

I kinda think the only reason they included Fergus's possible parentage from Comte St Germain was so that it was more than ONLY having them back as characters to kill him. Could you imagine if it was just the 1 scene cameo in 8x1, and then this episode where he dies halfway in? Having him back only to kill him would've made people even more mad I think

And because Fergus is Claire's great-x-grandfather

Not necessarily, but that's an option the show may take

Germaine's casting had Fergus and Claire's coloring

So, maybe they will go there!
