Connections to the fourth and fifth seasons

Most of the Season 4 and 5 connections were in the real world. However, there are a couple from the fantasy world that are important.

The abstract painting that looks like the house on fire is a connection to the newspaper clipping that brought Bree and Roger from the future. To some, the painting is just the Ridge, which is Claire focusing on home and Jamie. However, I do see some flames, which could be the dangers to come seeping through.

The house Claire and Jamie are living in looks like the house from the magazine we saw during Claire’s flashback to the 1960s. And there’s the microscope that connects back to the penultimate episode of Jamie looking at his own sperm.

Many other connections in the real world included Brianna telling Claire that she had Bree’s hand and ear, something that Lizzie told Bree during Season 4. There was the storm rolling in, connecting to Lord John Grey’s mention of a storm coming. And we can’t forget the crooked post, connecting to Claire and Jamie’s first setting the posts when building the cabin in Season 4.

Jamie also said to Claire “You are alive. You are whole” when he saved her. These were the words he said to Roger after Roger was hanged.

So much work went into the Outlander Season 5 finale. This is one of those episodes you’ll see more of with each rewatch. Things will stand out that never did before. Despite how traumatic Claire’s storyline is, there is so much beauty to cling onto throughout.
