On the way to The World’s End tavern, Jamie tells Claire that Mr. Willoughby is an associate. They learn upon arrival that he is still at the tavern but drunk. They find Mr. Willoughby deep within the tavern, and Claire is surprised to learn that he is a Chinese man who barely speaks English, but Jamie can somewhat understand him. As they are leaving the tavern, a crowd chases after them, as Mr. Willoughby has been known to harass the women there, and the three are forced to hide. Once Jamie thinks they are safe, he takes Claire and Mr. Willoughby to a regular room he keeps in a nearby brothel, to Claire’s surprise.
Claire questions Jamie as to why he has a room at the brothel, and he says he is not a customer, asking her, in turn, why she came back to the past. Jamie is unsure whether Claire came because she felt she had to tell him about Brianna or if she came because she wanted to be with him, and she tells him how she just discovered he didn’t die at Culloden. They both understand that they are different people than they were 20 years prior, but that they still love each other.
