Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie's stated preference for 'fancied his chances here better' with the group establishes his loyalty and attachment to Ben and Polly, which carries into Episode 19 where he is shown adjusting to the disorienting experience of time travel alongside them. This reflects Jamie’s evolving role from a Jacobite warrior to a trusted companion.
