There were certainly highs and lows throughout the Outlander season 7 finale. It’s time to look back at the episode to pick out the best moments.
There is no denying that this episode brought us heartbreak. At the same time, we got to see a twisty ending that leaves us needing more. There are also a lot of questions that come from some of the reveals at the end of the season.
Now is a good time to look back over the episode. What were the best moments from the Outlander season 7 finale? Just keep in mind that at claireandjamie.com, we try to avoid individual character moments for those I focus on individually.
Master Raymond coming to visit
When I heard a rumor that Master Raymond would be part of the Outlander season 7 finale, I questioned how and why. The Why was the more important question for me, and the episode quickly brought him into the story. He turned up to ask for forgiveness, and it would be the end of the episode that we’d understand more about this.
Master Raymond is such an important character in the grand scheme of things, although he doesn’t seem to be. There are many mysteries surrounding him, and I just loved adding more layers to that part of the story, especially with the way it connected to the end.
Roger reunites with his family
In 1739, Roger and Buck get ready for the next part of their journey. They need to get back to the stones so Buck can find Brianna. That ends up not being necessary. Jemmy first steps out of the fog, leading to father and son reunited. Of course, Roger and Buck still believe, at this point, that Jemmy could have been in 1739.
Then Brianna and Mandy step out of the fog. Seeing Roger scream Brianna’s name the way he did filled me with joy. It’s clear that the time spent apart has made their hearts grow fonder for each other. Their love runs deep. I did feel for Buck, though. That’s what makes this a great moment overall, as we see how important Buck is but how much he has lost by going through the stones.
Lord John Grey going to see Claire
When Lord John Grey learned that Claire have been seriously injured during the Battle of Monmouth, he went to see her. There was a beautiful moment between the two of them, and this was so important considering everything they had both been through when they believed that Jamie was dead.
John was able to switch between his disappointment and anger at Jamie and his love and kindness to Claire. And yes, I believe there is a platonic love between the two of them. They both trust each other and respect each other, and that means there is an element of love there. It almost felt like a goodbye, but I’m sure that’s not the actual case.
Rachel sharing her news with Young Ian
Now, don’t get me wrong, I hated what came after this. As much as I was ready for Rollo’s death, I wasn’t ready for the way the show brought the book part to life. However, before this, there was a beautiful moment between Young Ian and Rachel.
They had to decide where to go next. What would they do? Where would they live? It’s such an important conversation for any couple to have, especially when they are from vastly different places and lifestyles. It all led to Rachel sharing her exciting news that she is expecting a baby.
Claire helping Frances grieve
Frances is now all alone. As much as Claire and Jamie won’t allow that to happen, Frances feels alone, and she won’t leave the area until she has seen where her sister is buried. That’s impossible when her sister has been buried in an unmarked grave. Suicide is one of the gravest of sins.
Claire is the one to help Frances in this moment. There’s a conversation about how Claire believes that God will understand Jane’s reasons for doing what she did. This is a great way not to share her own believes but to also help make it easier on Frances to accept and grieve without the fear that Jane’s soul is going to Hell.
