They were all set to go back to Scotland, they discuss it, and they concede that staying in America is kind of a silly idea, but they decide to…stay? Okay. Jamie suddenly decides, without much of a good reason, that he wants to stay and make America a good land for Brianna, who will be born there 180-odd years later. Remind me again why they don’t just go back to Scotland? And that the land the governor is offering will be taken from them when the British inevitably lose. She mentions that the American Revolution is 8 years out, and that if Jamie takes the deal, he’ll be expected to fight on the wrong side of history. Claire is thinking about the governor’s offer. Lord John Grey has had the warrant for Jamie’s arrest lifted, so he’s no longer a wanted man. Jamie & Claire have succeeded in selling the ruby to their mark at the dinner, so their return passage to Scotland is secured and then some.
