Frank’s voiceover opens Starz’s Outlander season eight, episode seven, describing Kings Mountain in 1779 as serene. However, he points out that it’s just the calm before the storm. Jamie climbs the mountain, Frank’s voice in his head explaining that Major Patrick Ferguson and his men set up on the highest ground. Below them were Sevier, Cleveland, Jamie Fraser, and the Overmountain militia.
The rebels made their way up the mountain, with a few killed as they climbed. According to Frank, the battle was short. 300 loyalists, including Ferguson, were killed while only 28 rebels died. One of them was Jamie Fraser.
(The following is a recap of season eight, episode seven – “Evidence of Things Not Seen” – and there are spoilers.)
That evening Jamie (Sam Heughan) informs Claire (Caitriona Balfe) that Frank’s account matches the terrain. Jamie believes Frank was telling the truth about his impending death.
Later, Fanny (Florrie May Wilkinson) speaks to Jane at the cairn Jamie constructed, telling her about life with the Frasers. She looks through her precious treasures and is stunned that her sister’s lace is missing. Claire tries to comfort her, and Fanny admits the lace was made by her grandmother in Paris. She can’t recall her grandmother’s name.
Claire fills Jamie in on Fanny’s story, and he remembers a lace maker across from Master Raymond’s apothecary. He also recalls hearing a child’s cry there and wonders if that was Faith.
Claire confesses she’s scared of losing Jamie, and Jamie asks her to hold on to him. “Always,” she replies.
In the days that follow, Jamie receives a letter from Ian in Philadelphia. Ian found a friend of Jane’s who gave him a pamphlet about Jane’s death. Ian found the pamphlet’s write and convinced him to share Jane’s notes. The notes indicate that Jane’s mother was Faith Pocock and that Jane’s grandmother told her the man from the apothecary gave her Faith to her. If he didn’t return for the child, then she was to find Lady Broch Tuarach! The man didn’t return and the grandmother looked for Lady Broch Tuarach but was told she had left the country. Years later, Jane’s grandmother learned the woman had moved to North Carolina.
Pirates attacked the ship while they were en route to North Carolina. The notes continue, revealing that Jane insisted that Fanny be told she loves her more than life itself. None of this is Fanny’s fault, and Jane was at peace with dying. Jane believed God would help Fanny find the lady after her death.
Jamie and Claire are stunned that Faith was on her way to find them when she was killed.
Claire and Jamie allow Fanny to read Jane’s notes. Afterward, Jamie tells the child that his family’s home is Broch Tuarach but that they lived in Paris for a while. Claire continues their story, telling Fanny they had a baby there – a girl named Faith. Claire explains they thought Faith had died, but now they know she lived. That baby is Fanny’s mother, and Jamie tells the stunned child that they are her real grandparents.
Claire recalls being very sick, holding Faith, and then being told the baby died. Claire explains that the song Fanny was singing in the church at Monmouth when they met is the same one she sang to Faith. Now that Fanny’s there, she’s mended Claire’s broken heart.
Fanny wonders how Faith knew the song if she was only a baby when Claire sang it to her. Claire and Jamie admit they don’t know. Claire remembers owning a veil made of lace that was made by the woman Fanny knew as her grandmother. She wore it to Faith’s grave and left it in Paris. Claire’s happy they had something from Fanny’s grandmother since she’s part of Fanny.
Fanny needs time to herself and eventually Jamie and Claire find her at Jane’s cairn. Fanny’s certain that now that Jamie and Claire are her family, she’ll lose them. She loses everyone she loves. Jamie believes that God wants her to have faith in them.

Betrayals and Crushed Relationships
William (Charles Vandervaart) confronts Amaranthus (Carla Woodcock) about Ben, confessing that he’s aware she’s part of the deception. Amaranthus claims not to know that Ben, aka Rafe Bleeker, is now a general and insists she begged him not to join the rebellion. Ben didn’t love her enough to stay, and she was forced to get him to agree to disappear rather than smear the family’s good name.
Amaranthus fell for William, but William now believes he needs to tell Lord John that Ben’s alive. Amaranthus begs him not to. They’ll hang Ben if they find out his location. William can’t believe she still loves Ben even after agreeing to marry him.
Lord John (David Berry) interrupts with news that Ben’s father, Hal, is on the way. William blurts out that Ben’s a traitor and fighting with the rebels. William doesn’t correct Lord John when he assumes Amaranthus is just learning this news, too. But Amaranthus comes clean and reveals her part in Ben’s disappearance. William believes she did it to protect herself and the baby, and Lord John points out that claiming to be Ben’s widow provided her with wealth. Angry, Amaranthus insists she’d do anything to keep her son from going hungry.
After she leaves, Lord John reminds William that she’s Ben’s wife. He warns William not to get involved with her, calling it unseemly.
That evening, Lord John’s outside drinking when Percy Beauchamp (Michael Lindall) arrives with news about Captain Richardson. Richardson’s heading to Savannah by ship and Percy will keep an eye on him once he makes port so he can tell Lord John where he’s staying. Lord John won’t say what he intends to do to Richardson.
Percy recalls their past intimate relationship and believes John loved him back then but wouldn’t admit it. They kiss and of course that’s when William walks in. Lord John stumbles through an explanation, but William knows what he saw. He believes this is why his father never told him that he was the warden of Ardsmuir Prison and that that’s where he met Jamie Fraser. William thinks they had a sexual relationship and that’s why Lord John agreed to raise him.
Lord John insists he and Jamie are friends and have sacrificed to protect William. Lord John is ready to kick William out, and William breaks his heart by saying he doesn’t have a father.

Nasty Notes Lead to a Devastating Tragedy
Fergus (Cesar Domboy) teaches his young sons how to work the printing press, and they’re anxious to try for themselves. His son, Henri-Christian, confesses he doesn’t want to disappoint his dad because he’s “different.” Fergus assures him he’s capable of great things.
Fergus reminds his boys the shop will be theirs one day and that the pen is mightier than the sword. It’s obvious he’s incredibly proud of his sons.
Bree (Sophie Skelton) and Marsali (Lauren Lyle) chat as they walk through the markets. Fergus has decided not to pursue the inheritance from Comte St. Germain that he just learned about from Beauchamp. Marsali laughs as she imagines what it would be like to be rich and how her life would change. The talk turns serious when Bree reveals she and Roger are trading gold for guns tomorrow.
Suddenly, a man throws a tomato at Marsali’s back and warns her to tell her husband to be careful of what he prints.
Fergus receives another letter warning him to watch out or his house will burn down. Marsali refuses to let threats make them close down. Fergus suggests that maybe it’s time to think about having more children. Marsali jokingly accuses him of trying to “populate the entire colony.”
They don’t waste any time, enjoying themselves and trying for another child.
That night, Fergus and Marsali’s daughter, Joanie, wakes them because she smells smoke. They rush to wake up the other children, but Henri and Germain aren’t in their beds. Marsali believes they’re on the roof looking at stars. The townsfolk arrive to put out the flames as Fergus heads to the roof to get his sons. Unfortunately, fire blocks their path back downstairs.
Roger (Richard Rankin) and Bree run up as the fire rages, and Roger rushes to help pump water into the building. Fergus fastens a rope around Germain and has Henri cling to his brother’s back as he lowers them down the side of the building. Henri slips, but Roger is able to catch him before he hits the ground.
Fergus makes eye contact with Marsali and smiles after the boys are safe on the ground. Suddenly, the roof gives way under him. Fergus disappears into the flames.
(At that exact moment, Jamie wakes with a start, confessing he believes something is terribly wrong.)
Later, Bree and Roger hold each other, and Bree asks if Roger will stay in this time if something happens to her. Roger insists nothing will, and he knows she’s asking because she just lost her brother. Bree demands an answer and Roger says he’d stay in this time period. It’s their home and where their family belongs.
Marsali refuses to let her children out of her sight, even though Lord John can set up a room just for her. Bree sits with her, suggesting that she sleep and assuring her she’ll watch the children. Bree sobs as Marsali says there’s not even a body left of Fergus’ to hold, just ashes. She reminds Marsali that Fergus is in each of their children. The women hold each other, giving into their grief.
Morning arrives, and Marsali has no idea what she’ll do without Fergus. Bree assures her she has a home on the Ridge, or she could take Beauchamp up on his offer. Germain is the heir now, but Marsali doesn’t think Fergus would want that. Bree believes he’d want Marsali and his children taken care of. Marsali will think about it, but first she needs to bury Fergus. She wants to take him home.

Fergus Returns to Fraser’s Ridge
Bree, Roger, Marsali, and the children arrive on Fraser’s Ridge, and Jamie and Claire are devastated to learn that Fergus has died. Jamie holds Marsali tight as Claire comforts the children.
Jamie builds a coffin for Fergus and slams down his hammer. He clutches the side of the coffin and recalls his first meeting with a young pickpocket who would change his life. A flood of flashbacks show the deep relationship between Fergus, Jamie, and Claire, including the moment Jamie gave Fergus his last name.
Fanny finds Jamie lost in his memories and asks if they can go for a walk. She’s built a cairn for Fergus so Jamie can talk to his son. Fanny calls Jamie “grandda” and hands him a rock to add to the cairn. Jamie carefully places it on the cairn and smiles at Fanny before thanking her. She takes his hand and Jamie beams with joy.
A flashback to Paris, 1744, shows Master Raymond (Dominique Pinon) handing the baby to the lace maker, explaining the child’s father is in prison and the mother is sick. He gave her instructions to take Faith to Lady Broch Tuarach. As he was trying to leave, Faith began crying. Raymond sang a song of Claire’s to Faith to get her to settle down. Raymond taught it to Fanny’s grandmother, which explains how Faith learned the song.

Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season two, episode eight, opens in northeastern Australia. Lee (Kurt Russell) drives through the sand until he’s within eyesight of Titan X. Scarabs scurry from the Titan and toward some sort of lump in the sand as Titan X flails around. It appears its injured limb is growing back.
(The following is a recap of season two, episode eight – “Separate Ways” – and there are spoilers.)
Monarch Director Reddick Barris (Curtiss Cook) watches as the staff monitors Titan X. The Secretary of Defense calls, upset that Australia is pressuring the US to help militarily with Titan X. Barris reminds him that weapons are next to useless, and the Secretary suggests they resort to the one weapon they haven’t used since Bikini Atoll. Barris disagrees due to the fallout, but the Secretary insists the technology is advanced enough now that a limited strike wouldn’t do much harm.
Despite Barris’s misgivings, the US is proceeding with a strike.
Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) and Cate (Anna Sawai) arrive on Monarch Outpost 18 to fill Barris in on what they’ve discovered. (Tim suggests that Cate refrain from mentioning she thinks she has emotionally connected to Titan X.) Tim (Joe Tippett), Cate, and Keiko insist that Lee’s the biggest problem right now since he’s going to try and attract Godzilla to Titan X’s location.
Lee drives closer to Titan X as Barris gets the Monarch team to confirm no other Titans have been spotted. Keiko explains that Godzilla likely showed up at Bikini Atoll because of the Castle Bravo H-bomb’s radiation. Lee believes he can replicate that signature and call Godzilla.
Monarch’s readings indicate that Titan X is increasing its energy output, similar to what Godzilla did before an attack. Barris finally reveals the government is sending a fleet of ships armed with nuclear cruise missiles. They will arrive in three hours.
Keiko and Cate are certain they can avert a Titan attack by getting Titan X back on its migratory course. Barris is shocked when Cate confirms she wants to save Titan X. Tim has her back, but Barris can’t figure out why Cate thinks she’s communicating with the Titan. Tim begs Barris to at least let Keiko and Cate try to lure it back on its path.
Barris reluctantly agrees.

May (Kiersey Clemons) and Kentaro (Ren Watabe) are also onboard Monarch Outpost 18, and Kentaro finally admits he went to Thailand to see Isabel Simmons. Kentaro doesn’t want to talk about it but insists Isabel hates Apex Cybernetics too.
Cate ignores May, not even pausing to say hello. Kentaro is coming with her and Keiko, and she reminds him it’s not his mission. He’s determined to help them get it away from here and keep it from killing anyone else.
Lee turns on the device and drives off, hoping Godzilla will come.
May confesses to Tim that she thinks Apex is up to something and she needs to speak with Brenda. She doesn’t trust Isabel and isn’t sure why Kentaro claimed it was no big deal to visit her in Thailand. Tim suggests that if she thinks something’s up, she should pursue it.
Birds circle over Titan X as it continues to flail around. Lee spots Keiko, Cate, and Kentaro’s helicopter just as birds strike the chopper and force it down. The pilots call in to Monarch Outpost 18 requesting an immediate evac.
Somewhere in the South Pacific, Godzilla wakes from his slumber.
Lee runs to the helicopter and confirms everyone’s okay. Lee and Keiko are equally alarmed by each other’s presence.
May visits Brenda Holland (Dominique Tipper) at an undisclosed Monarch Asset Management location. Brenda claims she’s cooperating with Monarch, but May knows she’s lying. Brenda takes full responsibility for what happened on Santa Soledad. But after a guard leaves, she whispers to May to let this go. However, she’s not prepared when May asks what Isabel wants with Kentaro. She wraps up the meeting without providing May with any useful information.
Titan X has stopped flailing around and has become still, as Lee admits he’s already started the device to signal Godzilla. Keiko’s certain there are better ways to handle this and reveals she and Cate are going to try and get Titan X to leave before either Godzilla or the US military arrives.
Lee asks the pilots to tell Monarch to call back the military. They won’t be able to take down Godzilla and Titan X. Lee disagrees with Cate’s and Keiko’s plan to save Titan X, pointing out the world’s relationship with these monsters changed on G-Day. Cate reminds him she was there, so she knows firsthand what Godzilla is capable of.
Lee begs them both to leave before one of the Titans kills them. After he walks back to his truck, Kentaro assures Cate that she should at least try before Godzilla gets there. Keiko agrees.
Keiko distracts Lee while Cate approaches Titan X. Kentaro follows, but at a distance. The Scarabs bury themselves in the sand as Titan X reacts to Cate’s presence. It rears up and raises two tentacles as if to strike but then settles back down.

Keiko insists that they need to understand the Titans in order to save humanity. Lee disagrees but asks if there’s one single fact she’s learned that allows her to be certain. She can’t name one. Keiko reminds him he’s the one putting them in danger. Lee points out it was supposed to be just him on this deserted stretch of the beach, alone with Titan X and Godzilla. She wasn’t supposed to be there, and neither was Cate or Kentaro.
Titan X allows Cate to see that she’s guarding a nest! Kentaro backs away and calls Isabel. She confirms her team has located his position but now Kentaro no longer believes his father would have wanted this. Isabel warns him that whatever Cate’s doing will only “end up in more death, more destruction.”
Isabel demands to know if the plan will work and Kentaro confirms that it will. He asks her to tell Trissop to forget about the Scarabs because there’s an egg.
Lee finally realizes Keiko’s been distracting him and drives toward Titan X.
Cate informs Kentaro that the Scarabs built a nest for Titan X’s offspring. “This Titan is a mother. That’s why she can’t leave right now,” says Cate. Suddenly, Cate and Kentaro hear Godzilla and see it approaching the beach.
Monarch Outpost 18 is scrambling after seeing Godzilla heading toward Titan X. The rescue time is still five minutes out, which won’t be soon enough. Unauthorized vehicles have gotten past Monarch’s perimeter and are also approaching Titan X.
Barris gives orders to stop the fleet and halt the missile launch.
Three vehicles approach Titan X and Cate remains on the beach as the monster reacts to their presence. Cate’s still by the egg when Godzilla emerges from the ocean. Titan X and Godzilla growl at each other and prepare for battle.
Cate and Kentaro race toward the Apex vehicles, and it’s only after Trissop (Cliff Curtis) and the Apex personnel head to the beach to collect the egg that she realizes Kentaro lied to her. Kentaro insists this is what needs to happen.
Godzilla and Titan X fight as an Apex helicopter arrives to transport the egg. Titan X lashes at Godzilla, and both monsters try and bite each other. Titan X screeches as it watches the helicopter fly away with her egg! Godzilla charges and unleashes its atomic breath but misses the Apex caravan, which speeds away.
Titan X chases after the helicopter with Godzilla hot on her tail as episode eight ends.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood Season 2 Synopsis, Courtesy of Starz:
In season one, Claire’s parents, Henry and Julia, began a romance through the letters they exchanged from the war-torn battlefields of WWI but were tested in new ways when an unexpected journey back in time left them lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th-century Scotland.
Meanwhile, it was love at first sight for Ellen and Brian. Despite being members of two rival clans, the two began a forbidden romance and vowed their eternal love, choosing each other over tradition, politics, and familial obligations. By the end of the season, both couples were on the precipice of a big change. After fighting to find their way back to one another, Henry and Julia were at the standing stones of Craig Na Dun, hoping to return to their own time, and Brian and Ellen’s romantic escape was interrupted as the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war.
As season two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.

Where he once ruled the boardroom, he now finds himself humbled and going head-to-head with the newly fierce and fearless Alex Fox (Rosamund Pike).
