She says she guesses she's going to a fucking barbecue. Geillis cannot believe Claire isn't there to change things and that it's all for nothing. Ned says one of them has to fall upon the sword and Geillis has been considered a witch longer than Claire. Geillis wants to know why Claire is here if she's going to have to die for for her. Instead of going well and in their favor, the people say it would take Satan himself to drive a priest away from God. Without her, the boy would be dead and he's sorry he failed Thomas Baxter and cursed Claire's name. Instead, he admits he was wrong and she saved the young boys life. Next is the priest who seems to be pissed because he was passed over when she didn't allow Mrs. Laoghaire testifies against Claire saying she made a potion stealing Jamie's heart. They bond during their second night together. Geillis tries to get Claire to understand the people mean to kill them.Ĭlaire laughs when she discovers Geillis is a Jacobite and that's how they came together.
Ned gives Claire water of Laithe to keep them warm at night. Next up some fellow says Geillis lept into the air one night and flew like a winged bat.Ĭlaire is surprised to learn not only didn't Colum not send Ned, but he wouldn't look favorably upon him being there. Ned says that the mother's silence allowed Claire to contaminate the child, keeping the fairies from making the switch. She spoke strange spells over the child and when the sun rose, the changeling was there and there was no sign of their weird bairn. The next witness is the changeling baby's mother. Ned makes sure to make her sound like a malcontent maidservant.
Even worse, Geillis would sing in the halls when her husband was sleeping. She saw Geillis making love potions and Claire gathering herbs in the fields. The first witness is Geillis' housekeeper. In Scotland, accused witches are allowed to have counsel. Once on the stand, Ned comes in to say the witch trials were tossed out years ago so it's time to ends it. They're taken past a fire thingy being rigged in the town square on their way to the witch trials. In the morning as people cry "burn the witches" Claire figures it's better than freezing to death. Geillis offers to share their food and cuddle for warmth, but Claire doesn't take her up on it. It's not the greatest timing to learn both of their men have been sent away. Geillis finally learns Dougal has been banished.
Claire calls Geillis out for killing her husband and Geillis finally admits to the white arsenic poisoning a few months ago. Geillis isn't pleased that she's been cast in with Claire as a part of this lovers' spat. After being tossed into the thieves' hole, Claire realizes it was Laoghaire who set her up.
