Claire’s surgery becomes an important part of Outlander Season 5. One of the latest mini-teasers shows us how Bree and Marsali come into that story.

Outlander Season 5 will see Claire’s role as a healer grow. She gets her own surgery in the Big House, and she will start treating patients there. At the same time, there’s a discussion of whether her actions are “playing God.”

STARZ has released a number of mini-teasers, mostly through Facebook and Instagram ads, but has started to release them as normal posts, too. This mini-teaser focuses on how prominent Claire’s surgery will become in the fifth season.

But it’s more than that. Both Brianna and Marsali will have a connection to Claire’s surgery throughout the season. Brianna, who doesn’t have the healing touch but is more interested in engineering, wonders whether Claire’s actions is “playing God.” After all, Claire is going to heal people using items from the 20th century. Is that not taking a risk?

Meanwhile, Marsali will work with Claire in the surgery. It’s fun to see how much their relationship has changed over the years, considering they didn’t like each other due to Laoghaire. Yet, Marsali has had a chance to see how caring Claire can be, and Claire has seen that Marsali is not her mother. Because of that, Claire wants Marsali to help her within the surgery.

It’s certainly not going to be easy for Marsali. While this young woman doesn’t mind cutting up dead animals for cooking, she isn’t necessarily going to find healing people easy. But, she’s going to do it, and she seems eager to learn based on the mini-teaser.
