Mr. Forbes wasn’t happy to learn Brianna and Lord John Grey were engaged on Outlander Season 4, Episode 11. Does she need to worry about him being a threat?
When Lord John Grey announced that he was marrying Brianna, you could see that Mr. Forbes was more than just disappointed on Outlander Season 4, Episode 11. He was ashamed and embarrassed of being overlooked. Could this be a problem for Brianna in the near future?
While we can look at the books for answers on this, I’m keeping this as book spoiler-free as possible. There will be mentions but no details of what happens.

It’s clear that this is a man who doesn’t take public embarrassment easily. He was immediately smitten with Brianna (maybe more with her potential inheritance than her looks) and that was clear to everyone. Now everyone will know that Brianna chose someone else — a lord, who he couldn’t compete with.
Being embarrassed can lead to the need to get revenge. It is possible that Mr. Forbes will be back in the near future looking to get some sort of revenge against Brianna. With the type of man that he is, this isn’t going to be physical revenge. This would likely be a man who would ruin a reputation to get his revenge.

And it may not only be Brianna who needs to watch her back. Anyone who has some sort of connection will need to look out for themselves, especially Lord John Grey. After all, Lord John is the one who stopped Forbes from asking Brianna to marry him.
With just two episodes left, that isn’t likely to happen in Outlander Season 5. Plus, Forbes doesn’t show up in the books again until “The Fiery Cross.” If the show sticks to the books, we should see Forbes again in the new season.
