Rob Cameron quickly proved himself not to be a man to trust in Outlander season 7. Have we seen the last of him, or will he be back in Outlander season 8?
When we first met Rob Cameron, he seemed to be a good guy. He took a while to respect Brianna at work, but that was a state of mind considering the time period. However, by the end of season 7A, we learned that Rob’s nice guy act was all an act. He took Jemmy, presumably through the stones.
During Outlander season 7B, we learned that wasn’t the case at all. While he took Jemmy, it wasn’t through the stones. It doesn’t look like he can time travel, but he did want to get rid of Roger so that he could take Bree and get the gold that Jemmy knew about.
When was the last we saw of Rob Cameron in Outlander season 7
Unless he somehow turns up in Outlander season 7, episode 16, the last we saw of Rob was in episode 14. Brianna went back to Lallybroch to wait for the locksmith, and then realized that there were people in her house. Ernie and Fiona returned with the kids, which wasn’t planned, but that was because Rob was waiting at their house for them.
That was the last we saw of Rob. He got back to Lallybroch as Brianna jumped into Ernie’s van and they got away. Bree knew in this moment that she had to get back to Roger.
While Brianna did head back to Lallybroch in the penultimate episode, it was during the day, and it looks like the locks were changed. Rob didn’t turn up in another attempt to kidnap Jemmy, giving Bree and the kids time to plan their trip to the past. It was time to get back to Roger.
Rob Cameron likely won’t be in Outlander season 8
It’s unlikely that Rob will return up in Outlander season 8. It doesn’t look like he can time travel, and we know Bree, Jem, and Mandy have now gone through the stones. Where the three have ended up is unknown, but all three went through and Rob has no idea about this.
That being said, there is always the chance that Rob could turn up if it turns out that he can time travel. Or maybe Buck heads to 1980 and to Lallybroch to search for Brianna and runs into Rob Cameron.
It’s actually getting harder to turn to the books to get some answers as well, as there are still a lot of unknowns with the 10th book still in the works. Never say “never” when time travel is part of the story.
The Outlander season 7 finale airs on Friday, Jan. 17 on STARZ.
