Keri Lumm reviews “The Company We Keep” for Paste—you can watch the video above or read the transcript below:
A newborn complicates everything, especially when your local grocery store doesn’t have formula for a foster mother!
And a pregnancy for a different unwed mother is also fairly problematic in colonial times!
In Outlander’s fourth episode of Season 5, “The Company We Keep,” Roger and Fergus are on their route when they get shot at because one of their own, Isaiah Morton.
The father of a girl who says she loves Isaiah wants him dead, because his daughter is “ruined” from their time together—although, he doesn’t know that she is actually pregnant. But Roger doesn’t want to give up Morton, so he starts planning.
Meanwhile, back at Fraser’s Ridge, Bree gets a cryptic message in Jemmy’s baby basket. He has a coin under his blankets that was given to him by an Irish man who asked the nanny if the boy looked like his mother or father.
And Bree knows it’s Bonnet, which puts her on edge. After all, Roger is gone. Even if she is the better shot, it would still be nice to have spousal support!
Claire and Jamie have finally found the group and are looking for someone who can be a wet nurse to the baby left with them after the horrific events of “Free Will.” And with two unwanted pregnancies, it seems apt that Claire’s contraception advice is published in the local paper.
Fergus accidentally took the note to the printer on a different errand for Jamie. Whoops! But, well, Claire wants progress! They could burn their bras if those had been invented!
