Sassenachs were shocked to find out that Master Raymond appeared to Claire in the Outlander season 7 finale. The big question is whether Master Raymond was there or just part of a dream.
In the Outlander season 7 finale, Master Raymond paid Claire a visit. He told her that he came for forgiveness for something that she would learn about soon. Then Claire woke up. It was as if Master Raymond had only been there in a dream.
However, the way the ending played out suggested that he actually paid Claire a visit. He managed it without Jamie seeing him, though. Was that really possible? What does the Outlander showrunner Matt B. Roberts say?
The Outlander season 7 finale is as you interpret it
Roberts isn’t going to tell you what to believe when it comes to Master Raymond. This is one of those elements that is up for interpretation, according to his interview with TV Insider.
So, there isn’t a right or wrong answer—of course, that isn’t going to stop a lot of Sassenachs from arguing as they try to prove their own point. If you think that Master Raymond was really there, then you’re right. If you think that Master Raymond was just a vision, then you’re right!
Roberts has shared that he will never share what his answer is on the subject. He doesn’t want to influence people, and there’s also the possibility that he just doesn’t want the debate. There are already enough fans arguing over other things that he doesn’t want to get involved in this one.
How could Master Raymond have been there?
If Master Raymond was really there, fans will think about how that is possible. The last we saw was Master Raymond putting real poison in the drink to hand it to Comte St. Germain. The King of France told Master Raymond that he wasn’t welcome in the country anymore, and that was it. Master Raymond left, and Claire had never heard from him again.
So, it is possible that Master Raymond headed to the Colonies. There’s little that we know about this man, except that he has the magical blue healing light. This suggests that he is some sort of time traveler or real person with magical powers, but it doesn’t tell us anything else.
Of course, we know Master Raymond managed to sneak into L’Hopital without anyone seeing him, so he could have possibly snuck into the church without Jamie seeing him. At claireandjamie.com, we find it interesting how a church has been set up as a hospital in both cases.
