Jamie took Young Ian to Wilmington and ran into an old face. Here are his best moments from Outlander Season 4, Episode 5.
While there were some Roger moments in Outlander Season 4, Episode 5, most of the episode was focused on the past. Jamie took Young Ian into Wilmington to find settlers at Fraser’s Ridge. Instead of settlers, he did run into an old friend and brought us the perfect reunion that we’ve been needing.
Because of the lack of Roger in the episode, I’m bringing the Jamie moments back up to five for this week. Here are the top five moments for Jamie Fraser throughout “Savages.”
5. Taking the candlestick
Let’s be honest, we know what Jamie wants to get made from that candlestick. There’s no way that he would just take something of Ellen’s that meant so much to him when Jocasta gave him it for something small. He wants to get a ring made for Claire to replace the one that was stolen by Bonnet back in the premiere episode.
Of course, he doesn’t want Claire to know. So while her back was turned, he quickly took the candlestick and placed it in his bag. That led to some excellent comedic moments of the silver smith’s wife flirting with Jamie, proving he still has it. We can’t blame her for trying, can we?
4. Trying to get to the bottom of the problem
When the men refused the land, it was clear there was something wrong. Honestly, my belief is that if something is too good to be true then it probably is, and this plays into Outlander Season 4. Jamie got 10,000 acres of land for nothing except fealty. It was clear that there was a problem and now Jamie is struggling to find tenants.

Why? Well, Jamie didn’t brush off the questions and the reasons. He listened, learned the full truth, and started to put a plan in motion in his head. This is something Jamie has always done. He’s tried to work out a situation and find a balance and that’s just what he wants to do now.
3. The dream
To open the episode, we got a chance to see Claire and Jamie living their everyday lives. Claire was collecting items to help with the delivery of a baby, while Jamie was getting ready to head to Wilmington to find more settlers. In this scene, we got a beautiful moment as they talked about Brianna.
This time, it wasn’t a memory or something that could have been overshadowed by the mention of Frank. We got Jamie’s mention of a dream he had, which was how he knew about a birthmark. I’ll admit the conversation seemed to be just thrown into the scene and it could have been fitted in a little better, but it was perfect between them.
2. Hugging Claire
When Jamie returned to Fraser’s Ridge, he was happy to see Claire. Things hadn’t quite worked out, but he was just happy to be with his wife again. However, he instantly realized that there was something wrong. He didn’t need Claire to say anything and could tell from her face and the way she was dressed.
While bittersweet, this moment was perfect. Jamie initially asked what it was, but he knew she just needed to be held at that moment. Explanations could wait. He was there for her emotionally and physically, guilty that he had been gone for so long.
We’ve seen Jamie be Claire’s strength before and this was another one of those moments. It was the perfect connection between them.
1. A necessary reunion
During Outlander Season 4, Episode 5, we got the reunion we’ve needed all season. We knew it would come eventually. Murtagh was sent to the Colonies and now Claire and Jamie were there. What we didn’t realize was how we’d get that reunion.
After Young Ian was ripped off, Jamie decided to give the blacksmith an earful. It was in that moment Murtagh realized who he was dealing with and turned around to show his face. This moment was full of so much emotion and you could see it without any words at all. It will be hard to top that reunion moving forward.
