Outlander season 7, episode 9 preview: Back to Lallybroch

Droughtlander is almost over! Outlander season 7, episode 9 airs on Friday, Nov. 22, and it’s time to prepare with a look inside what to expect.

You’ve seen the promo, right? You know what to expect in the season as a whole based on that. Of course, if you’re a book fan, you know even more of what could happen throughout this season. However, there’s a little more detail about this episode specifically now that a synopsis is out.

Back home to Lallybroch in Outlander season 7, episode 9

At the end of Outlander season 7A, we saw Jamie, Claire, and Young Ian finally get on a boat to Scotland. The beautiful country came into view in the closing moments, and we knew that meant the trio would head back to Lallybroch in the new episodes.

All three are back, but it’s not as happy of a reunion as they would hope. The timing for Young Ian and Jamie to return is perfect considering some events that are going on at Lallybroch.

Based on the synopsis, it looks like a certain secret that Claire has is out. Those who have read the books know that at least one more character will learn that Claire is a time traveler. It looks like the show may change it just a little. Claire will need to “deal with the fallout of a long-held secret.” That would suggest that she has to tell Jenny and Ian that she is a time traveler, right? But are they going to believe her as easily as Young Ian did?

There is still a somewhat happy reunion, though. Jenny and Ian haven’t seen their son since he was taken to Jamaica. It’s time for them to see the man that he has become, and while he is nothing like the boy that left, they still love every fiber of his being.

There is also a little about Buck and Roger. The two are in the past, and they are on the hunt for Jemmy. Those who have read the books know where Jemmy is, and there is a quick clip of him in the trailer for Outlander season 7B. Roger and Buck aren’t in the time that they think they should be, though, and it looks like Buck has some issues with traveling through the stones again.

Check out the promo and synopsis for Outlander season 7, episode 9:

"Jamie, Claire, and Ian return to Lallybroch; Ian reconnects with his family in a time of need, while Claire deals with the fallout from a long-held secret; Roger and Buck search for Jemmy in the past."

Outlander airs Fridays at 8/7c on the STARZ Channel. It’s available from midnight ET on the app.
