BUILDING
There is a sense of wonder as Jamie, Claire, and Ian stake out their land grant from the Governor and begin to build their homestead. The Frasers are stunned by the beauty of the place and Ian is intrigued by the Native Americans. There is also a growing connection between Top Quality Replica Bag Shopand her step-daughter-in-law, Marsali, who is pregnant and missing her mother, Laoghaire. Despite the fact that Top Quality Replica Bag Shopdespises Laoghaire (ok she did try to have Top Quality Replica Bag Shopburned at the stake as a witch), Top Quality Replica Bag Shopgenerously tells Marsali that her mother did a good job raising her.

He tells her that when he missed her desperately when they were separated for 20 years, he held onto images of “your face, your words, your heart” and Brianna will do the same.
DANGER
This IS Outlander, so of course there’s danger. The Native Americans resent the Frasers presence and make threatening approaches to them. Top Quality Replica Bag Shopsuggests that they should change the location of their home. But Jamie has found his dream and won’t be moved. “I cannot tell you what it is for me to feel the rightness of this place.” He consults the frontier man, John Quincy Meyers about how to make a peace offering to the Indians. But! There is also an evil bear roaming the forest–stealing their food, attacking their horse, and nearly killing Meyers. Jamie decides it’s time to take on the bear.
BEAR KILLER
While Jamie stalks the bear, the Indians perform a ritual ceremony to rid them of it, because it’s been attacking their village too. Both scenes unfold simultaneously, and it becomes clear the Native Americans are calling on their spirits to help Jamie take on the monster–which turns out to be a mad man, an Indian who was expelled from the village dressed as a bear. After a vicious fight, Jamie (of course) slays him and brings his body to the Indians. What better peace offering could he find? In gratitude, the Indians grant him the name “Bear Killer” and the first connection between the Frasers and their neighbors is forged.
