John offers the Chestnut House to Claire to use as a surgery while he and Hal are in New York. Meanwhile, Claire learns that Fergus and Marsali are receiving threatening notes when she finds one on the doorstep. The letter threatens Marsali’s children and home, prompting Claire and Marsali to frantically search for Henri-Christian, who is not in the house.

After finding Henri-Christian, Claire walks to the docks but feels a malignant presence. She spies Jamie and Fergus, who take her into a coffeehouse to rest. Germain arrives, alerting Fergus that Mr. Sorrell is harassing Marsali at home. Fergus is also worried about Percy Wainwright, who has threatened that if he doesn’t accept the estates that Percy claims are his, then it will fall to a more amenable Germain if Fergus dies. When Claire tells Jamie about the threatening note, Jamie asks for a copy to compare it to Percy’s handwriting.
