6 details you might have missed in the latest episode of 'Outlander'

In chapter 19 of "An Echo in the Bone," the seventh novel in the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon, Claire (Caitríona Balfe) runs into Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones), several years after he took the wrap for his daughter Malva's (Jessica Reynolds) murder to allow Claire to walk free.

As they discuss how they've both come to escape their fates — Tom the hangman's noose, and Claire the recent house fire he thought had claimed both Claire and Jamie's lives — Tom tells her that he's become a clergyman after rebuilding his life after his prison.

When he tells her "The Lord does answer prayer, ye know," she innocently and curiously asks what it is that he had prayed for, which causes him to splutter: "You are a most uncomfortable woman!"

The scene, almost taken verbatim from the book, actually features at the end of the episode, so audiences see Tom speak the line as well.

At the beginning of the episode, William Ransom (Charles Vandervaart), is seen spending time with his fellow British soldiers in Wilmington, and in particular, near a public house named The Red Falcon Inn, ahead of getting their orders.

Later on, when Jamie (Sam Heughan) finds himself conscripted to fight in the American Revolution, waylaying his plans to return to Scotland, he and Claire decide to temporarily take accommodation at the very same inn.

It's not clear how much time passes between William leaving Wilmington on orders to deliver messages to generals located in Dismal Town and the arrival of Jamie and Claire, but the scenes are placed back-to-back, giving audiences the impression that they just missed each other.

In scenes set in the 20th century, we see that Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) have gone ahead and purchased Lallybroch, and renovations to make the castle habitable are well underway.

This, along with the fact that the couple's children Jemmy (Blake Johnston Miller) and Mandy (Rosa Morris) have aged up, with new actors playing the roles, makes it clear that a few of years have passed since the events of the last episode.

When Ian Murray (John Bell) comes across William in the Dismal Swamp, his arm impaled with a tree branch, the British red coat isn't convinced that he's going to survive the injury.

After Ian tells him that in the Mohawk community, it's common for the dying to sing a death song before they pass, William gives it a go.

"I am William Clarence Henry George Ransom, Earl of …" he says before stopping himself. "No that's too long."

He restarts: "I am William James."

The name is the one Jamie — his real father — christened him with during a secret, impromptu Catholic baptism when he was six years old. It was a parting gift from Jamie, who enjoyed spending time with his illegitimate son, but realized he had to leave his position as groom of Helwater's stables as William's resemblance to him was growing stronger.

It's heartwarming to see that William has remembered this moment, and his alternative name, as it shows his memories of spending time with a kindly man who worked in the stables all those years ago have not faded.

The track from composer Bear McCreary appeared on the show's third season, during the moment Jamie meets his newborn son for the first time.

Jamie, Claire, and Ian's plans to sail back to Scotland are scuppered when Cornelius Harnett (James Weber Brown) spies Jamie in Wilmington and conscripts him into fighting on behalf of the Sons of Liberty, giving him a powerful position at Fort Ticonderoga.

Audiences may not recall Harnett as he appeared briefly in season six of the show, but his reintroduction provides some indication of where the rest of the season is headed. For now, the Frasers will not be making their journey across the pond back home.

Expect to see more of Harnett given his importance in American history; the character, like Major Donald McDonald (Robin Laing) and Governor Josiah Martin (Eugene O'Hare), is another real-life historical figure who helped lead America to independence as one of the country's founding fathers.

Episode four of "Outlander" season seven is now available to stream on Starz.com, and also airs at 8 p.m. Friday on Starz.
