Claire briefly regains consciousness on the battlefield, bleeding and in pain. Jamie presses her skirt into her wound to staunch the blood. A messenger from General Lee brings Jamie orders to report to the General. Instead, Jamie resigns his commission.
Jamie’s cries for help bring Captain Leckie, who directs Jamie to hold the lint (a wound dressing) on Claire’s wound, then wishes her luck and walks away. Claire tells Jamie that she needs Denny.
Denny prepares to remove the bullet from Claire’s wound in the Mackens’ cottage by the churchyard. He and Claire agree that the bullet has penetrated her liver, and the surgery to remove it may kill her. Jamie, watching out the window, sees Dottie approaching, surrounded by soldiers. She bears a gift from Lafayette: a basket of food and a bottle of laudanum. Claire spots Roquefort in the basket and directs Denny to pack her wound with cheese since the mold in it contains penicillin. Jamie administers the laudanum, and Denny removes the bullet from the wound successfully.
John and Ian limp into the British camp where Ian sees the Abenaki scout at a campfire. The two battle until Ian gains possession of a knife and holds it to the other’s throat.
