15 best Roger moments on Outlander Season 5

4. Episode 9: Being there when Jamie woke

There are some excellent Roger moments from Episode 9. He’s the one that finds a way to save Jamie’s life in the woods and takes steps to get Jamie back to the Ridge for Claire’s medical help. This whole episode sees Jamie and Roger’s bond change; the family drama comes to an end.

However, it’s the ending to the episode that stands out. When Jamie’s life and leg are saved, Jamie is left to recover. When he wakes up the next morning, Roger is the one by his side.

Roger knows what it’s like to wake from trauma. He knows that Jamie will need someone. If it can’t be Claire or Brianna for whatever reason, he will make sure that it’s him. It furthers that bond between these two men.

3. Episode 1: Making the blood oath

One of the downsides of this moment is that it’s in private, but it’s the thought that counts. After the incident with Jocasta, Roger storms back to the cabin. He does something that he should have done a long time ago.

Roger makes a blood oath. This claims Jemmy as his own son. He makes it clear that it doesn’t matter what the DNA says. All that matters is that he views Jemmy as his own son. He, Bree, and Jemmy are a family.

This continues. Throughout the series, we get moments of Roger being a father to Jemmy, including those sweet moments of singing to Jemmy.
