Season 1, Episode 8: “Part Eight”
John kills Lejaune in the struggle, and then flees the fort on the approach of the relief column. Digby finds Michael's body and, remembering a childhood promise, gives it a Viking funeral – on a pyre – before fleeing himself. He finds John and they set off on foot, but is killed; only John is able to reach England where he returns the Blue Water to Lady Brandon – as Michael had known, a copy made when she had been forced to sell the original.
