What Happened in ‘Outlander’ Season 7, Episode 9?
The return of Outlander Season 7 after a year-long hiatus was long-awaited and certainly worth that wait. Packed full of surprises, Roger’s (Richard Rankin) and Buck’s (Diarmaid Murtagh) return saw them displaced to a time period they hadn’t bargained for, on the search for Roger’s son Jemmy (Blake Johnston-Miller), who was kidnapped by Rob Cameron (Chris Fulton). In the new time period, Jamie’s father, Brian Fraser (Andrew Whipp), is remarkably still Laird at Lallybroch, with Jenny (Kristin Atherton) – albeit a younger version – helping to look after the household.
Not only that, but the episode saw the reintroduction of Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek), much to the surprise of viewers. Speaking to TV Insider, Rankin spoke about the plethora of surprises, saying, “To have them show up in this little adventure, I think, will be good fun,” and further adding:
” I think it’s just shock after shock after shock , and I think all of these things helped to develop a very sort of interesting and refreshing plot line for Buck and Roger. The stuff with Brian and Jenny is good because I think the fans are going to really like these callbacks because they’re all obviously very familiar with these characters. And I think to see them back in that context… that’ll be quite a delight for the fans to see.”
Although it’s only the first episode back, bittersweet homecomings and tied threads make it feel as if Outlander never really left. Alas, there’s still plenty to come, with the promise that the second half of Season 7 will continue with its already impressive amount of twists and turns. Check out Collider’s full episode recap for a more in-depth analysis of the episode, or, for a look at the previous episode, here’s a clip released by Starz’s YouTube channel:
‘Outlander’ Season 7, Episode 10 Preview
The enticing promo for Episode 10, “Brotherly Love”, was released at the end of the previous outing and can be viewed above. Although short, the promo confirms that more secrets and clues will be uncovered in the search for Jemmy; clues ready to take Roger and Buck by surprise. We should also receive even more definite details about exactly what time period Roger has arrived in. The episode will also see Claire and Ian (John Bell) arrive in America to help the ill Henry Grey (Harry Jarvis), although bad news will likely strike anytime soon. The emotions following the previous familial reunion are still running high, with tension unlikely to dissipate anytime soon. Speaking with Radio Times, Heughan said of the reunion and his conversation with Laoghaire (Nell Hudson):
“And I also feel like there’s still… despite their rather tumultuous, kind of crazy history that they’ve had together, there’s still a part of him that remembers the young Jamie and the young Laoghaire. He knows deep down that she’s hurting. He wants to help her, he wants to make sure that she’s OK, but also Joni – he’s got a very soft place in his heart for her. Obviously, they lived together for some time. So he has a sense of duty and he’s a good man, and I think he’s putting a lot of things to rest.”
