Shortly after the year update, “Journeycake” shifted to Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger discovering the smoking remnants of a house that had been burned, with the occupants seemingly killed with arrows before the house was torched.
One girl did survive, but she was beyond the point of speech and any hope of recovery.
Outlander doesn’t update on the time of the year or even year itself in every episode, so it felt to me like Outlander was trying to call attention to the fact that the Frasers are in the 1770s, and that could be a bad thing.
