Chapter 26 Summary: “The Laird’s Return”

Jamie and Claire arrive at Lallybroch to find Jamie’s beautiful sister Jenny in the drawing room. The Fraser siblings’ reunion is interrupted by Jenny’s small son Jamie, named after her brother. Jamie becomes morose and asks Jenny why she would torment him by naming her son sired by Captain Randall after him. Offended, Jenny insists she was not raped and impregnated by Captain Randall, as Jamie was left to believe. What ensues is a screaming match between the Fraser siblings in which either one is hard-pressed to hear or listen to the other. Amidst the chaos, Claire is introduced to Jenny’s husband and the true father of her children, Ian Murray. Ian suggests that he and Claire give the Fraser siblings a few minutes longer to hash things out. When Ian steps in to confirm his marriage and co-parenthood with Jenny, Jamie, still convinced that Jenny has had the child with Randall, thanks Ian for taking Jenny to be his wife, which infuriates Jenny even further. Jamie shows Jenny the scars on his back and the siblings make amends.
