The episode earns its title not because the characters have an abundance of it, but because they have lost it. By the time Claire walks away from that grave, and Jamie emerges from the Bastille, they are changed forever. The innocence of their relationship is gone, replaced by the hard, sharp edges of survivor's guilt.
The reveal of what happened to Fergus is perhaps the darkest moment in the show’s history. Fergus explains to Claire that Randall found him in the brothel and raped him. This violation of the child—whom Jamie had sworn to protect—was the trigger for Jamie’s break in composure. It adds a layer of horrific tragedy to the episode: Jamie’s need for vengeance cost him his freedom, but his delay in killing Randall cost Fergus his innocence.
If there is one episode of Outlander that stands out as the most emotionally devastating hour in the entire series, it is undoubtedly Season 2, Episode 7: "Faith."
