Roger is tested by Jocasta, who implies he should remember that even though he is not his blood relative, Briana's young son is the heir to River Run, and his marriage to her will eventually pay off. To Jocasta's pleasure, he tells her off. Jamie, now a colonel in the English King's army, takes the pledges of Scots to serve in his Army to include his appointment of Roger as captain. Jamie faces Murtagh, telling him he must flee as he is obligated by honor to fulfill the governor's order.
