In order to deny Stuart the means for his invasion, Claire and Jamie devise a scheme which will prevent him from selling a consignment of wine, first by feigning smallpox on the boat carrying the wine and then by robbing the remainder (in both cases, St. Germain being among the losers though Stuart is despairing of his cause). So as to allow her husband Frank to be born, Claire asks Jamie to hold off the dual with Black Jack for a year and is angry when he breaks his word.
