The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Claire hopes that her medical skills will earn the MacKenzies' trust, and her eventual freedom, but only makes herself indispensable. By saving Mrs Fitzgibbons's nephew from poisoning, which the fanatical Father Bain had declared as demonic possession, Claire makes a new enemy. Even though she earns some trust from the MacKenzies, she is called a miracle-worker and is therefore presumed too valuable to let go. After she and Jamie collude to help a youth punished for stealing, Claire is given renewed hope of being able to travel home when she hears a folk tale about a time-traveller and the stones.
