** Gaelis says Father Bain preaches that all women since Eve are natural temptresses and they should be beaten daily to keep evil at bay.
** A boy is accused of stealing bread. Father Bain demands that his hand be chopped off to save his immortal soul. The fiscal has "mercy" and sentences him to one hour of a pilloried ear, meaning the boy's ear is nailed to the pillory in the town square where he has to sit for an hour while all the townsfolk can laugh and mock him. At the end of the hour, he is expected to rip the cartilage of his ear open to free himself so he can go home.

* ArtisticLicensePharmacology: Lily-of-the-valley does exist in Scotland, and is probably more common than wild garlic (whose leaves, not berries, are sometimes confused with the poisonous plant). Treating with digitalis (foxglove), which has a similar heart-effective poison, is risky at best, and might worsen the symptoms at worst.

* MisplacedVegetation: An intentional case. The Black Kirk is covered in what the local boys think is edible wood garlic. Claire discovers that it's actually toxic Lilly of the Valley which was brought to the Black Kirk by the German monks who built the monastery. The two plants look very similar but one is harmless and the other can kill within hours.

* BaitAndSwitch: Claire convinces Jamie to help her free the Tanner's boy from the pillory without him being forced to rip his ear open. Jamie starts a loud performance, playing up to the crowd like he's going to rip the boy's ear through the post for him. Just as he makes to do it, Claire fakes a faint, knocking over an open fire cooking pot and several nearby observers, getting the whole crowd to turn away from Jamie and the boy to look at her. While they're distracted, Jamie pulls the nail from the post, freeing the boy to go home with his ear mostly intact.
