Brown and his Committee of Safety ride onto Fraser’s Ridge like a slow-moving thunderstorm. They’re not soldiers; they’re neighbors with guns and a shared suspicion of anything that smells of magic or medicine. The scene where Brown explains “due process” to Jamie is chilling precisely because it’s so polite. This isn’t Geillis Duncan’s witch trial. This is the rule of law twisted into a noose.
