Claire meets with Sir Fletcher Gordon, who oversees the prison. Gordon refuses to let Claire see Jamie but allows Jamie to write Claire a letter. The next day, Claire returns to the prison with Murtagh and breaks into Gordon’s office to steal his keys while he is eating lunch. Claire finds Jamie’s cell but is informed by another prisoner that Jamie had been taken out of his cell that morning by Randall.
Claire finds Jamie in the basement of the prison, hunched over his severely damaged right hand. As Claire tries to set Jamie free, she is interrupted by Captain Randall, who has been torturing Jamie. Jamie bargains with Randall that he will let Randall do anything to his body without telling the prison if he lets Claire go free. Randall agrees to let Claire go.
Claire tells Captain Randall that she is a witch and that she knows the day on which he will die. Before Claire can tell him his death date, Randall pushes her into a ditch of dead bodies outside of Wentworth Prison. Before she can escape the prison, Claire is attacked by wolves. In the middle of the pursuit, Claire falls into the arms of a stranger.
