![]() Okay, so how does the Bonnet stuff shake out? He takes Bree to his home on the island of Ocracoke, off the coast of North Carolina. Good riddance, you monster! We have much more important things to dive into without him around. I’m all for it - Bonnet is certainly a scary villain, but there’s no nuance to him and also, hi, hello, he’s just so, so dumb. Fast-forwarding Bonnet’s arc like that, and his demise, is a bold stroke for the Outlander TV team to take and I’m sure people will have thoughts. And that’s because Bonnet kidnapping Bree and the rest of Bonnet’s story in this episode doesn’t actually happen until book six, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and not in The Fiery Cross, which this season is based on. Although I try to keep this space as book-free as possible and focus on the TV show’s own merits, I have to believe a lot of Outlander book fans will be talking about this storyline. Claire wakes up on an empty beach - Bonnet has kidnapped her daughter. Bree tries to fight him, but he knocks her out too. He holds Claire at knifepoint and then knocks her unconscious. All the good things get ruined on this show and we should never expect otherwise.īonnet’s there for Bree, and to talk about “their” son. Doesn’t a mother-daughter day of collecting shells and fangirling over Moby-Dick and racing up and down the shoreline sound like the best beach day ever? Well, it is. While the guys are off doing their thing, Claire and Bree are in Wilmington getting some STEM-related errands done - they’re trying to get all the pieces of a syringe made, it’s very cool - and doing some whale watching at the beach. Team Fraser easily takes them down, but when questioned as to their boss’s whereabouts, they have little to no information.īut friends, we know exactly where Bonnet is and why he couldn’t make the Wylie’s Landing meeting. That would be cool and all, except Bonnet doesn’t show up. ![]() He needs to kill Bonnet for Bree and Jemmy and his sanity, I guess. In fact, Roger has volunteered to do the deed. Jamie, Roger, and Ian head to the Landing, expecting Bonnet to arrive for his prearranged meeting with “Alexander Malcolm,” and plan to attack him immediately. Nevertheless, he is 100 percent better, no doubt thanks to Claire’s attentive bedside manner, and the Frasers are in Wilmington to finally have their meeting with Stephen Bonnet.Īs one might have guessed, the Wylie’s Landing scheme goes awry. We don’t know exactly how long “Mercy Shall Follow Me” takes place after Fraser’s Ridge rallied together to save Jamie’s life, but dang if that man wasn’t knocking on heaven’s gate - I’m sorry, passageway - and lying there with ground meat for a leg. Well, it looks like Jamie has fully recovered from his near-fatal snake bite and is back in tip-top shape, which is truly a wonder.
