It all feels very Greek tragedy with the webs and spinners.

Claire is contemplative, hesitant, and pushed to discover how important a single patient was to her finding her way back to Jamie.

Jamie, as ever, a man of honor, duty, and blood defends his family from incursion, exposure, and takes a life.

Roger's insecurities get the upper hand yet again before he is wisely counseled by Claire and the picture comes into clearer view for him moving forward.

Brianna's own webs of deceit unravel and she is exposed to Roger before they can make peace and work together.

And for now and forever because of his introduction, Adso will be known as "Murder Kitty".
