Foreshadowing in the Outlander chapter

There certainly seems to be some foreshadowing for the Sachem and Jenny. I think there’s a look at how the loss of a spouse isn’t the end for a person. Jenny may be opening her heart to the Sachem.

Then there’s the Frank part. It’s always been clear that Frank knew more. He knew that Jamie was still alive, and I think he knew that Bree would eventually go through the stones. I think he knew Claire would go back again. So, I think this whole chapter is developing the plot for that. We need a book about what Frank knew for sure!

Adapting the Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone chapter

I don’t see this chapter really being developed. Not in full. I just don’t see the Sachem being included in a huge way. I would love to see the connections back to Frank, but I’m not sure there is going to be time to really delve into this. If there isn’t the time, it can’t be half done.

It’s hard to say, though. Frank was included in Outlander Season 4 despite him not being in Drums of Autumn. The show has always kept him in the story in some way through mentions. It’s like the show has tried to make it clear that there is more to Frank’s story. Maybe we could have a spin-off series for Frank and what he knew.
