Plot summary

Roger has stayed in the past, and has been recaptured by the Mohawk. At River Run, Jocasta holds a dinner party of unmarried men as potential suitors for Brianna, concerned for the future of an unwed and pregnant niece. Lord John arrives and learns that Brianna is pregnant, and she later spies him having sex with another male guest, Judge Alderdyce. Knowing that Gerald Forbes plans to propose, Brianna asks John to marry her, believing she will be safe with him. He refuses, but then relents after she tells him about her assault and her current predicament. Murtagh and Fergus capture Stephen at Jamie's request, but Murtagh and Stephen are caught by the authorities. As Jamie tracks Roger, he feels guilty for beating him, and for the harsh things he said to Brianna.
