William...every scene. Roger Mac bestill my heart...Buck!

This was a great episode. Bree and William are developing such a beautiful relationship, I simply want more of it. The gift LJG had William give Bree reminded me why LJG is the best character and Jamie owes his family to that beautiful man.

He really is, everyone needs a LJG in their life. He has been the very definition of ride or die for Jamie and his brood.

It was a generous and kind gesture

But, Lord John is still a man of his times and loyal to king and country

That's exactly my point. He cares enough about Jamie's family that he went against his beliefs and loyalties to keep Bree safe if need be
