Which year are we in for Geillis and Dougal scenes in Outlander Season 7B?

Geillis and Dougal will be in Outlander Season 7B. There are a couple of images out, with one of them showing the two seemingly meeting each other. What time period will the scenes take place?

Caution: We will get into some book spoilers in this post.

When we learned that Geillis and Dougal would be in Outlander Season 7, it meant that we had to be heading back to the past. Both of these characters are now dead, whether we’re looking at the 18th century or the 20th century storylines.

Of course, they could turn up as ghosts. That’s clearly not the case with the recent images. We see Geillis and Dougal together, and it seems like they are only just meeting.

Roger heads back to the wrong time in Outlander

Geillis and Dougal’s storyline is connected to Roger and Buck. At the end of Outlander Season 7A, the two headed through the stones. They intended to go to Buck’s time period, thinking that Rob Cameron had taken Jem to that time. However, it turns out that they go back a bit further.

In Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, they head to 1739. This is because a different Jeremiah MacKenzie is there, so the stones haven’t gone completely mad with sending people through time.

Dougal and Geillis have just met around this time. We know Geillis goes to sometime in the late 1730s. In the books, we learn that she started off in a cottage in the countryside, but that cottage is burned and she’s viewed as a witch. She ends up going to Cranesmuir. By 1739, she’s in Cranesmuir, starting her journey to put the Stuarts on the throne.

While we see Dougal in the countryside, we don’t see him with Geillis in Cranesmuir. The series has a chance to show something a little different as we’re not stuck to the POV of the character telling the story. This could give us a chance to see Dougal meet Geillis as she gets herself set up in Cranesmuir. Of course sparks would fly once they find out that they want the same thing.

Get ready to meet the 1739 versions of Geillis and Dougal.

Outlander Season 7B premieres on Friday, Nov. 22 on Starz.
