Outlander Season 4, Episode 5 photos show tension at Fraser’s Ridge
In case you didn’t get it from the trailer for Outlander Season 4, Episode 5, the photos released show tension at Fraser’s Ridge. There’s also the birth of a baby.
Remember when I asked the question about who the baby was in the photo for the Outlander Season 4 promo? That storyline is about to come up in Episode 5, titled “Savages,” by looking at the images released for the episode. Meanwhile, the photos continue the idea from the trailer that there’s tension on Fraser’s Ridge.
The episode title is an interesting one. At first, it would seem like the title is aimed towards the Native Americans since that is how they’ve always been described. However, I get the feeling that the title connects back to something Jamie said to Governor Tryon in the last episode. He mentioned how savages come in all forms.
It’s clear that Claire and Jamie want to make peace with their Cherokee neighbors. There’s going to be a beautiful moment between Claire and Adawehi, as Claire learns more from the matriarch of the tribe. However, it’s not all going to be easy living side by side when others don’t share the same thoughts of peace.

Claire clearly isn’t happy about the situation in a number of photos. She’s scared of what’s to come and angry that one person could threaten the whole existence on the Ridge. This is not going to be an easy episode to watch, as those who have read the books will know.
Expect illness, death, and horror. This is something Adawehi indicated would happen. She’s made it clear that God determines death and that it isn’t Claire’s fault, but there are going to be things that happen that she just can’t help but blame herself for them.

One good thing is there is going to be at least one romantic moment between Claire and Jamie. I hope that bathtub scene from the Outlander Season 4 trailer also happens in this episode. We don’t quite get many romantic scenes between the two anymore for various reasons. For the most part, I don’t mind that, but I’d love to see just something small in each episode.

What the Outlander Season 4, Episode 5 photos don’t give us is anything of Roger and Brianna’s storyline. It’s clear from the trailer that we need to see something this week in the episode. Roger knows that Brianna has decided to go to the past and now he needs to get to her. Whether it’s to stop her or go with her is unknown, but he wants to protect her.
Meanwhile, Brianna wants to be with her parents. Does she know how they die in the past? That’s unclear as of yet, but will likely be something we learn over the next few episodes. For now, it’s time for her to step through the stones.
