Added DiffLines:

* PoorCommunicationKills: Roger unknowingly runs into Fergus. He shows him a picture of Brianna, who Fergus has never met. But if Roger had asked Fergus about Jamie or Claire Fraser, who he knows Brianna is looking for, he would've been taken to them and gained a significant amount of aid in his search. Possibly neither Brianna nor Roger would have suffered the traumas that happen later in the episode or as a result of it.
