15 best Roger moments on Outlander Season 5

8. Episode 4: Speaking of love

It’s easy to forget some of the earlier episodes with storylines that don’t stand out all that much for the overall season. That’s the case with Episode 4, which is mostly a contained episode. However, it has an important moment for Roger.

When Isaiah Morton returns for Alicia Brown despite the danger posed to him, Roger knows that love makes a person do stupid things. It’s also something Jamie understands.

This is a chance for Jamie and Roger to see eye-to-eye on something. They know each other is speaking the truth. More importantly, it gives Roger a chance to speak up and help someone, showing that he can be useful in this time period.

7. Episode 5: Speaking to Claire of secrets and regrets

During Outlander Season 5, Episode 5, Roger finds a gem that Bonnet gave Bree. He also learns that Bree doesn’t believe Roger is Jemmy’s father. It’s a huge blow for Roger, who is sure that he could be Jem’s father; who is acting as if he is Jem’s father.

It leads to Roger staying out all night, which is where Claire stumbles upon him the next morning. Claire has become someone for Roger to speak openly with throughout the season, which is certainly needed, and she’s able to offer him a few words of advice here.

What he wants to know is whether she regretted not telling Bree the truth about Jamie at a younger age. And rather than arguing with her, he just listens to her explanation and accepts it. It helps him understand what will be right for raising Jemmy now.
