No, Geillis has been playing hide the haggis with Dougal MacKenzie but she asks Claire to keep her secret as no one knows she has a lover or a baby on the way.Īs they walk through the woods at dawn – erm, has Jamie not noticed his wife's been out all night? – Geillis promises Claire she didn't know whom Laoghaire's cursed sticks were meant for, and also fills her friend in on Dougal's homely wife Maura (whom Claire didn't even know existed as she's apparently not attractive enough to leave the house) and Dougal's secret friendship with the Duke of Sandringham. She reveals she is pregnant – and no prizes for guessing that the father isn't Arthur.

So Claire goes looking for Geillis and finds her husband Arthur (comic actor John Sessions giving it his all in his depiction of a man with severe wind thanks to some raw turnips) before eventually finds her friend in the woods at night doing some mystical frolicking that ends with Geillis writhing around in the mud topless. When she adds that she's sure Jamie has to get drunk before he can get into Claire's bed, Claire gives her a good slap across the face (and delivers a deliciously sarcastic 'sorry' afterwards) but she is surprised when Laoghaire reveals it was Claire's friend Geillis who sold her the sticks in the first place.

Claire says the Duke shouldn't be trusted because he is friends with Black Jack Randall but won't reveal how she knows this – even with all the earth-shattering sex, she sensibly realises Jamie wouldn't be likely to go for her 'I'm a married time traveller with a husband who told me interesting historical stuff that's coming in very useful' explanation.Ĭlaire confronts Laoghaire over the bundle of cursed sticks she found under the bed, and it seems the girl is still convinced Jamie loves her and is trapped in a loveless marriage with Claire. Last week's marathon sex session is still going on for Jamie and Claire, until they are interrupted by Murtagh, who tells them that the Duke of Sandringham – the man Jamie hopes can clear his name – is to visit the Laird.
