‘Outlander’ Season 7.16 Finale Recap Shakes ‘Outlander’ to Its Core


Spoiler Warning: This text incorporates spoilers for Outlander Season 7, Episode 16, “A Hundred Thousand Angels.”

Seven seasons, 11 years, nearly 100 episodes, and Outlander has managed to shake this present to its core with 4 phrases that Claire (Caitríona Balfe) says to Jamie (Sam Heughan). That is an episode of Outlander that might be talked about for years. In a single single second, Outlander has modified all the things. Every thing. I don’t say that flippantly. Claire uttered, “I believe Religion lived.” 4 single phrases, and we’re shook. Shaken. Did they actually simply try this? Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan ship performances which are delicate, robust, and can once more present why individuals will watch them do something on display screen, from probably the most mundane to the most important sweeping epic moments, and this episode runs the gamut. You’ll chortle, you’ll cry, and you’ll fall in love with this present another time. And most of all, you’ll re-watch the final scene time and again. As a result of that’s how unbelievable it’s. Outlander has managed to inject new life into an previous present in a single heart-stopping second that can concurrently make your jaw drop and take your breath away.


One factor this present does exceptionally properly is use its historical past. And did it ever. It went off the charts and off the books, and took everybody’s breath away, particularly Claire and Jamie’s. After which it gut-punched their viewers, leaving them speechless, breathless and wanting extra.

Balfe and Heughan opened up about this being their favourite episode, and shortly you’ll see why. Okay, let’s get to it. Right here’s what to stay up for within the penultimate finale: Claire wakes up, Jamie’s her finest nurse, and tremendous jealous husband when her different husband-for-a-hot-second, John, comes to go to. William will get the assistance of each his dads to attempt to save Jane, Roger and Brianna lastly reunite, however are within the improper time. What’s new? There’s a brand new child on the block, a wild return of an previous character, a track of a lass that’s gone, and a discovery that can rock your soul. However as that previous character tells Claire, “Have Religion.”

The episode opens on a flashback of what looks like younger Fanny and Jane working via a area. They run to a different lady with curly hair, almost definitely their mom. I don’t know why, I really feel this may be a dream of Claire together with her two women. The episode is titled, “A Hundred Thousand Angels.” This title higher not be about Claire dying. In any other case, you’re going to get 100 thousand devils, Outlander.

Interrogating Jane

Jane is being requested why she stabbed Captain Harkness 26 instances. As a result of he deserved it after which some. The questioner tells her it was an “abominable” offense, and Jane corrects him and says, “It was wonderful.” Jane is a legend. She continues, “My solely remorse is that he isn’t alive so I can do it once more.” Jane has main mouthy Claire vibes in one of the simplest ways. Mouthy is a praise. Let it’s recognized. Ugh, however Jane goes to die. I can really feel it.

It’s actually unusual for the finale to open with two characters who are usually not a part of the core household. Particularly with Claire’s life hanging within the steadiness. The title card scene is the Northern Lights. A starry sky. Once more, this finest not be about Claire dying and changing into a star. Jamie and I can’t have it.

Jamie to Claire: “Blood of My Blood.”

Jamie sits by Claire’s bedside and tells her, “8 pints,” referring to the quantity of blood a human physique has, which she taught him. This man actually hangs on her each phrase. That’s how we all know he’s not actual. He says he needs he may give Claire a few of his blood, he has loads. Seems to be like Claire has not woken up from her non-anesthetized liver surgical procedure.

Jamie tells Claire that he needs he may give her his blood, and he is aware of she mentioned the blood has to match. Then he says one thing that can make you tear up not even 5 minutes into the episode, “Absolutely our blood would circulate, one into the opposite. My blood kens yours like its personal. Blood of my blood, Sassenach. That’s what we mentioned. And it’s the reality.” Jamie tears up. Within the sequence, it’s very uncommon that Jamie cries, solely a handful of instances: when he mentioned goodbye to Claire and in utero Brianna, then goodbye to grownup Brianna, when Claire selected him over Frank, when he discovered Claire tied up within the woods.

He kisses her hand. Claire opens her eyes and whispers, “I’ve determined to not die.” Solely Jamie and Claire could make speaking about blood romantic. Like, sir, please. If she wasn’t going to die, she may from that hella romantic blood discuss.

Claire then says, “I need to, that is bloody horrible.” She tells him, “I do know what it felt like while you have been lifeless, I wouldn’t try this to you.” “Thanks,” Jamie says. Then he reminds her when she discovered him nearly lifeless that she yelled at him. “You mentioned I used to be a vainglorious, pig-headed, grandstanding Scot, and I suppose I may do the identical now.” Claire says, “Go on, do your worst.” He says, “I’ll have mercy on you.” After which a single tear falls from his eye on to her cheek. Single tear Heughan! Lovely. Jamie is crying a lot this episode. Perhaps extra so than he has mixed in the entire sequence.

Claire seems very dehydrated Jamie, give her some water not simply your salty tears! Jamie kisses her head. Denny and Rachel watch. Denny seems emo. Love Dr. Denz. Defend him in any respect prices. I type of really feel that they need to have opened on this scene or a flashback to the surgical procedure. Hmmm. Nonetheless perplexed why they’d present Jane and Fanny.

William and Lord John

William tells Lord John he desperately wants his assist. He tells him about Jane and the way she’s been arrested for homicide. John asks how he and Jane met and William mentioned, “She’s a whore.” Not precisely what you need to inform your dad about your girlfriend, however right here we’re. Lord John asks if she did it, and William says sure however for causes. And that he needs to go communicate on her behalf. Awww, each father needs to listen to about their son’s first hooker expertise… Nope. Lord John mentioned, “No thanks, heard sufficient.” Actual dad second there. Lord John agrees to attempt to discover her. Thanks Dad.

Ian Returns

Jamie sees Ian gallop up, and Ian tells Jamie that they discovered William and he’s secure. Jamie says, “Thank God.” Rachel runs as much as greet Ian, so does Rollo and 100% Ian kisses his canine earlier than his spouse. Jamie Fraser would by no means! However Jamie may cuddle Adso and Claire on the similar time. The place’s Adso? Miss that little feline fella.

Rachel tells Ian that Claire just isn’t properly. “Claire is wounded,” Jamie says. Ian asks Jamie, “You’re not going again to the military, will they settle for that?” and Jamie Fraser says, “They’re going to should,” and marches off to see his spouse.

Lord John’s Very Good Horrible Dad Recommendation

William explains that Captain Harkness abused Jane and was attempting to defile her sister. Lord John asks if William loves Jane and William says, “There’s something about her.”

Lord John then provides one of the best most hilarious recommendation about Jane, “There wouldn’t have been a manner of creating issues higher for her, save marrying the woman or killing Harkness, and I don’t suggest homicide as a manner of settling troublesome conditions tends to result in problems, not almost as many as marriage.” Lolz, taking a look at you Claire Gray for a sizzling second. Lord John says Jane might be executed with no trial. However he tells William that no less than she saved her sister.

Jamie Fraser, private nursemaid to Claire Fraser

Jamie provides Claire some water and she or he says, “Um, I would like the alternative.” So, he brings a chamber pot over, and she or he asks him to depart the room. He says, “You’ve carried out much more for me!” He holds her up and she or he tells him he can let go and he refuses. He says, “Cease speaking and get on with what you are promoting eh?” So, then she pees and appears tremendous embarrassed. That is the primary time or one of many few instances a tv character has really peed on digicam. It by no means occurs. Congrats Claire Fraser, you peed on TV!

Claire finishes after which Jamie picks up the pot. Claire tells Jamie to not throw it out. He provides her a perplexed look, however then remembers who he’s married to. She explains she needs to see if there’s blood in her urine as a result of her kidney hurts. Perhaps it’s your liver Claire Bear that had a bullet in it. Only a guess. Jamie brings over a candle and tells her, “Let’s look now otherwise you’ll fret about all of it evening,” and the way in which she seems at this man. That’s love.

She seems and he says, “Is it unhealthy?” She says, “No it’s superb,” and smiles at him. Claire continues, “It’s simply… I really like you.” Jamie kisses her hand. He begins to depart to empty the ol’ chamber pot, and Claire says, “Don’t go away, come lie down beside me.” Aww. These two are cute. Jamie will get into mattress subsequent to her, she tells him she’s so chilly. They cuddle up, and Claire says, “You realize when the feminine elephant is dying, the male elephant tries to mate together with her.” These two, by no means disappoint. Jamie’s face, “Both you may have fever once more, or you may have some very perverse fancies.” Claire laughs and he says, “You don’t really need me to…” She laughs and says, “No, not this minute and I’m not dying both.”

Jamie kisses her brow and she or he says, “Jamie can we go house? Please?” He guarantees as quickly as she’s properly sufficient, he’ll take her house. Facet observe: I don’t know what Claire’s magnificence routine is whereas unconscious, however like she seems 15 years youthful, did that bullet “Claire” away your grey hair?! Severely her hair seems darker, did Denny dye her hair after he eliminated the bullet, I approve.

The intimacy and love proven between Jamie and Claire in these scenes wouldn’t work for every other characters. If somebody mentioned, and “Then he helps her pee.” You’d be like, we will skip that. Jamie introduced a candle to mild up her urine and she or he swooned, oof. These two making even urine romantic. Like, how. However one way or the other Balfe and Heughan made this circulate.

Outlander fan Sarah wrote, “Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan proceed to blow me away. The best way they’ll pull off dramatic with the sincerity, and nonetheless provides us humor, all in a manner that feels real and exquisite each single time? They’re masters at what they do.” Outlander fan @cinebalfe raved on Twitter: “Probably the most in love couple you’ll ever see.”

Grasp Raymond visits Claire

Claire is sleeping and opens her eyes and sees a shadow. Uh oh. A person emerges and says, “Madonna.” He removes his hood. Claire exclaims, “Grasp Raymond!” As did I! “Had been you attempting to depart us once more?” And Claire says, “I didn’t imply to, I used to be shot.” That is wild! Is Claire dreaming? I don’t assume so, as a result of he seems older! He tells her it isn’t time. Claire asks him what he’s doing there? He tells her he got here to ask forgiveness. “For what?” Claire asks. He says, “Sometime you’ll know.” Cryptic drama queen a lot? No Grasp Raymond, we need to know now! He kisses her hand and she or he sees like a blue angel kind factor. Identical to she did when she was sick and noticed Malva subsequent to Jamie, and extra so after she gave delivery to a nonetheless born Religion and Grasp Raymond saved her then. He leaves her. She falls asleep. Then Claire wakes up and calls out to Jamie. She asks him if he’s been there the entire evening and did he see anybody? He says, “Sure the place else would I be and no.”

Claire tells him she noticed Grasp Raymond, “After I misplaced Religion, and I nearly died, he was with me.” Jamie says, “Perhaps that’s why you dreamt of him.” Claire tells him that Grasp Raymond informed her they’d see one another once more, that “We’d all see one another once more.”

After which Outlander is like, “Let’s make them cry. No, no weep.” Claire says with tears in her eyes, “Do you assume after I die, do you assume I’ll see her, do you assume I’ll see our daughter?” “I ken you’ll, it’s what makes dying simpler to bear.” They each tear up and Jamie reminds her Murtagh mentioned “It doesn’t damage a bit to die.” So mainly, when Claire and Jamie die they’ll be reunited with their daughter, after which everybody. I’m superb with that. Authorized.

Buck and Roger are strolling away from Lallybroch and abruptly Jem emerges from the fog and runs to Roger! Roger hugs him after which says, “The place the hell have you ever been!” After which he says, “With Mandy!” And Mandy and Brianna emerge, Roger screams, “Brianna!” Truthfully, this can be a nice second, tearing up once more. Richard Rankin nailed the, “Brianna” scream. Okay, nice guys now return to Bree’s mother and father and reunite. This reunion is superb. The precise quantity of emotion and happiness wanted.

Then Roger, Brianna and the youngsters have a household hug with nice nice Gramps Buck. And Mandy remains to be sporting that hilarious hat and all the things is true on this planet.

Three’s a Claire, er Crowd

Lord John enters and tells Claire he got here as quickly as he heard. He holds her hand. She needs to verify his eye and he says, “A physician doesn’t make a very good affected person I see.” He tells her, “The attention is sweet, you need to be resting my expensive.” Jamie flies in, “Dinna be calling her that!” He seems so mad, however like the way you look while you’re 8-years-old and attempting to be mad. Claire and John unlock fingers and she or he smiles and Lord John says, “You need to be resting Mrs. Fraser.”

Jamie is so large mad. He asks about William and John tells him that William’s on a idiot’s errand and can get his coronary heart damaged. He can’t save him from that. Jamie asks why he’s come, and Lord John makes a joke or is simply digging at Jamie since they don’t see eye to eye. Eye patch humor, you’re welcome. Too quickly? Positive. “I suppose you assume I’ve come to battle you for the favors of this girl,” Lord John says. Claire rolls her eyes. Jamie says, “Have you ever come right here to proceed our dialogue about what transpired in Philadelphia?” Referring to Claire and Lord John getting unhappy and bare collectively. Claire closes her eyes. She’s aggravated. “First my liver then my lovers.” Okay, she didn’t say that however would have been very humorous if she did. To everybody, however Jamie. LJ would’ve laughed for certain. However then he’d have two eye patches. Outlander fan Connie raved, “David Berry does an excellent job with eye-patch appearing!” She’s not improper. Gotta case of the swoons for LJ with that ol’ optical patch.

John says to Jamie, “Does anything should be mentioned about that?” and they’re actually gazing one another. Jamie says, “No” and Claire says, “Good, properly that’s settled then.” And she or he seems like she’s carried out with these two boys. Jamie steps to the aspect of the mattress and appears at Claire and pouts. I’m sorry this jealous large mad Jamie is lovely and ridiculous all on the similar time.

Claire says, “John?” And reaches out to carry his hand as they each take a look at Jamie. Claire says, “I don’t assume I ever correctly thanked you for all the things you probably did for me, you saved my life.” John is watching Jamie with one eye. (Not a watch joke, a truth). “We saved one another’s,” John says and kisses her hand, “Goodbye, Mrs. Fraser.” John leaves and Claire watches tearfully, Jamie says nothing to him. Okay, that can take time to heal, clearly. Clairly.

Claire’s an angel

Claire goes to the window and is sporting a blue blanket, she opens the window and she or he seems like a blue angel, type of the form of what she dreamt about.

Denny enters and says, “I by no means need to try this once more, it’s completely different on sufferers thee doesn’t know. However surgical procedure on somebody that’s household, somebody thee loves. Has thee ever had to do this?” Okay, weeping once more. Claire says, “Not surgical procedure, I’ve needed to heal them.” Um, I appear to recollect Claire surgically placing Jamie’s bones again into his hand in season 1! That was surgical procedure, and it was the particular person she loves most, so the reply is sure Claire, however severely perhaps she blocked that trauma out. Claire tells Denny, “I hope if I needed to, I’d do in addition to you probably did.” I really like Denny and Claire.

Brianna meets her grandfather

Brianna stares at a portray of her grandmother, Ellen, Jamie’s mom. Brianna walks as much as Brian and says, “Mr. Fraser?” Brian seems at her, speechless. She says, “You seem like you’ve seen a ghost.” Okay Huge B that ain’t truthful to do to your gramps. You realize he’s taking a look at a ghost. Brian says he appears like he has. Brianna says it’s an excellent home, and Brian tells her he constructed it stone by stone for his late spouse, Ellen. Brianna says she noticed her portrait within the corridor. Brianna thanks Brian for opening his home to strangers. “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Brian then tells Brianna it’s uncanny how a lot she resembles Ellen. “You remind me of her,” Brian says. I want Brianna may inform him. He tells her his son was at college. Child Jamie in school!

Brianna tells him, “The best way my father is equally as dedicated to my mom as you might be to your spouse, you remind me of him, his good heartedness, his power.” This present, making me cry in each scene. Simply cease. Brian tells Brianna. “Immediately I’ve seen her in you.” Brianna Ellen Fraser, if he solely knew.

The English Affected person

When Claire is the English affected person and Jamie is her nurse, Jamie and Claire are lovely collectively. Claire tries to untie her skirt and might’t, Jamie comes over to assist and jokes he can use his dirk to untie it. Claire seems startled, and he says, “My intention’s not unhealthy, solely threat stabbing you within the ass.” Jamie attempting to get revenge on season 3’s penicillin butt injections. She says, “Try to I’ll scream for Rachel,” they usually kiss. However in fact, there’s a knock on the door. It’s William. “I would like your assist. It’s life or dying,” William tells Jamie. Jamie is like “Oh crap, my spouse is ailing and my son lastly is speaking to me.” William stomps off like a bit mad teenager, and Jamie tells him to attend.

He tells Claire William has requested for his assist. “My son has by no means requested something of me,” Jamie tells her. Claire says, “Go.” Oh no, Jamie and Claire are separating once more I don’t like this.

Saving Jane

William and Jamie conceal behind a tree, and William notes there’s just one guard. They run as much as the window, and Jamie is doing a little trickery with the window, William asks him what he’s doing and he says, “A trick my daughter taught me.” And William goes, “My sister?” Awww, reunite the fam! Jamie breaks the window quietly (good trick Brianna) and unlocks the window, he then helps William leap in. Fraser Dad and son crimefighting, whore-freeing duo, like it. (I really don’t just like the phrase “whore,” however for that sentence, it’s hilarious. Sorry Jane, I take it again. You’re fantastic and good at intercourse, and I hope you have been compensated correctly for the 1700s.) However severely, Jamie higher not get damage.

A soldier guard comes flying in, Jamie throws his fingers up. Oh no! Don’t shoot Jamie Fraser! William bashes the guard, grabs the keys then runs as much as save Jane, however it’s too late, she’s sadly taken her personal life. RIP Jane.

William strikes her to the mattress, Jamie seeing his son so upset is definitely heartbreaking. Jamie cuts a lock of Jane’s hair (which has a touch of pink in it…) and says, “For her sister.” William’s cries and asks Jane to forgive him. Jamie says, “We have to go. Now.” They go away. Very Romeo and Juliet with the timing William and Jane. This episode is rather like, “You’re completely satisfied for a second? Too unhealthy, we’re going to make you cry now.” Giveth, then taketh away.

Jamie, Claire, William and Fanny

William brings Fanny to fulfill Claire and Jamie, and Jamie provides her a lock of her sister’s hair. He invitations her to dwell on the ridge with them. “I promise you’ll be secure, no man will ever take you towards your will, so long as I dwell.” (In all probability not one of the best time to deliver up each single member of Claire and Jamie’s household together with Claire and Jamie have been taken towards their will).

Fanny says she received’t go away till she’s seen her sister. William asks Jamie for yet one more favor. Okay, looks like loads little man you actually simply dropped your lifeless girlfriend’s sister off together with your dad and double stepmom and now they’ve to boost her however certain, yet one more favor.

Jamie says very sweetly, “No, I’m not sorry.” And William is ungrateful and says, “I’ll by no means name you father.” Jamie seems so unhappy, and that isn’t the way you thank your sizzling dad that simply helped you nearly save your deceased girlfriend.

“Religion” – Jamie, Claire and Fanny

Jamie, Claire and Fanny arrive at an unmarked cemetery and Fanny asks which one is her sister’s. For a slight second you see what Claire and Jamie may need appeared like had they been in a position to increase their daughters collectively, had Religion lived. When Jamie, Claire and Fanny are strolling, Fanny seems like a blonde curly haired Brianna. Gosh Outlander, this episode is simply stuffed with what may have been ache.

Claire tells Fanny they don’t know which is Jane’s grave. Fanny runs via the cemetery screaming for Jane. Claire and Jamie observe, Jamie provides Claire one thing and Claire says she’ll go. She follows and sits subsequent to Fanny. This scene is ideal. Balfe and Florrie Could Wilkinson, the younger actress, play completely off one another. Already tearing up and I don’t even know why. I don’t even know Fanny and Jane, why is that this making me unhappy. When Claire tells her to share a reminiscence, Fanny says her mom and sister cherished dragonflies, Claire tears up and says she too likes dragonflies. When Balfe’s tears roll down, you once more see why Balfe can take the only scene and make you immediately care a few character you by no means even knew two episodes in the past. The most effective half is when Claire provides Fanny her sister’s belongings. One among them is a locket with Fanny’s mom’s likeness and Claire holds it. When she closes it, it has “Religion” inscribed on it. Okay, Outlander, take my coronary heart, simply rip it out why don’t you. Oof.

Ian and Rachel

Ian tells Rachel, Jamie and Claire are headed again to the ridge. Rachel tells him she’d like to boost her household there, though she’ll miss Denzell. Don’t you dare go away Denny behind. Take him to the ridge. Rachel tells Ian she’s pregnant. Is that this a cheerful Outlander ending?! Wait what. I hope this lasts greater than 10 seconds.

Oh, nope. Ian wakes up and Rollo is lifeless. Cool Outlander, don’t give us even 5 seconds of happiness. We don’t want it. Ian weeps over Rollo.

Lallybroch, 1739

Roger and Brianna hug, and he tells her he’s going to kill Rob Cameron. Roger says they may watch for Jamie to return again from college and Brianna says she’s unsure that’s sensible. Yeah, Roger cease messing with dads and time bro! Your time-traveling dad-a-thon should be stopped! Brianna says she actually misses her mother and father. And Roger says, “It’s not a query of the place we belong, it’s when.” Nice line, Rog. Co-sign. Get transferring, time’s a wastin’.

Conserving the Religion

Jamie, Ian, Claire and Rachel are packing as much as go away, when Claire hears Fanny singing a track. All we hear is, “By the ocean…” The track sounds precisely like what Claire sang to Religion after she had died! Claire acknowledges it and flashes again to that second. What’s going on?! Is Fanny, Religion or one thing loopy? Did Religion not die?!?

Claire says to Fanny, “How may you probably know that track?” And Fanny says, “My mom taught it to me.” Claire is shaken. She flashes again to Grasp Raymond who informed her to, “Have Religion,” then handing Louise de Rohan her lifeless child. Jamie enters and he says, “What’s it Sassenach?” And she or he says, “I believe Religion lived. I believe our daughter lived.”

Lower to black.

I’m shook. Outlander, what have you ever carried out. What within the Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser is going on! This didn’t occur within the books! I LOVE IT. A lot. They actually simply did that. And now we’ve got to attend God is aware of how lengthy for the brand new and closing season. Jamie and Claire’s daughter lived! (However she additionally I suppose died, unhappy once more). That’s what Grasp Raymond apologized for! Oh my god. Why would anybody try this to Claire and Jamie, making then assume their child died! Did mom Hildegard know?! Who’s accountable for this?!? Carry me their heads. (Shout out to Murtagh for that). Religion’s alive! Was alive! Religion’s lifeless, once more. A whole lot of feelings occurring.

Bear in mind after I mentioned it’s bizarre they began the episode on individuals unrelated to the core. They’re very associated to the core, Jane and Fanny are Claire and Jamie’s granddaughters! What. What. Wait does that imply William slept along with his half niece? Okay let’s ignore that. Holy sh*t Outlander. Seven seasons in and also you drop a plot twist so nice that you just’ll have individuals screaming. For a 12 months. Ceaselessly. Glorious.

Additionally, Jane reminds us all of Claire so in the identical manner, William was sort of interested in his stepmom. Okay, sorry that’s not serving to with the entire let’s not give it some thought. However I’m 100% desirous about it. Like father, like son. Besides ew, Wills.

Can’t Brianna come again and whip up a complete DNA machine so we will run Jane’s hair pattern via it. Please and thanks. After watching this episode, if we have been martinis, we’d be shaken, not stirred.

Wait a minute, the theme track is “Sing me a track of a lass that’s gone, say may that lass be I.” What if that’s been Religion singing all of it alongside. No, no. Head spinning, wheels turning. Whisky pouring. No, it’s dry January. I’m remaining devoted to that. However severely. Shooketh. Shookakahn.

The tip credit track is Claire’s track to Religion. “I Do Prefer to Be Beside the Seaside,” which was a track that got here out round 1909. Bizarre coincidence: the creator of this track died in 1918, the 12 months Claire Fraser was born! This complete episode will make you instantly need to re-watch season 2, episode 7, “Religion,” and also you completely ought to.

As for Balfe and Heughan these final two episodes and one may argue the period of the whole present, Director Jan Matthys put it finest: “After seven seasons, you may count on a routine. However that’s not the case in any respect. They query each scene, and attempt to make all the things really feel new. There’s a magic occurring… They’re simply so in sync. They convey simply by taking a look at one another. As a director, you see it occurring and also you simply should put a digicam on it.”

That scene of Balfe turning round to Jamie has been within the first trailer, so this complete season, all two years has been resulting in this good highly effective second, and in a single tear-filled look, Balfe captures the viewers as soon as once more and reveals why individuals would watch her in any time interval. Mixed with Heughan’s response and their shared shock, it doesn’t get higher than this. Chills. Absolute chills.

This final scene might be watched time and again. And can go down in Outlander historical past. Standing ovation. (Which is bizarre to do as one particular person standing in entrance of your TV alone, however right here we’re, and I wouldn’t change a factor).

Fan reactions to this episode have been in any respect time ranges of chaos. Sarah wrote, “By no means in 1,000,000 years may I’ve been ready for that ending.” Sarah additionally captured Claire and Jane in comparable window poses. Lynn wrote, “My jaw dropped, my coronary heart broke (just a few instances), I cherished how they adopted the e book BUT I REALLY LOVED when they didn’t observe the e book!” Diana wrote in regards to the opening scenes with Fanny and Jane working to their mom, “We have been so naive then. They knew they’d destroy us proper from the beginning of that finale. They knew!!!” Crystal captured how comparable Jane and Claire look in a single submit. Sarah (zepperonipizza) put it finest with a confused Jamie meme. Annmarie is watching Claire inform Jamie repeat, “I’m gonna be speaking about this scene ‘til season 8 premieres. That is all the things. Jamie’s disbelief, the excessive pitch in Claire’s voice, and her attempting to make sense of what’s occurring, in all probability hoping past hope it’s true, I’m in shambles.” Darling wrote, “Religion lived! don’t know the way or why however she lived and has two stunning women that discovered their strategy to their grandparents. Oh how this story line weaves collectively.” And you could take a look at the photograph collage she did when you love ache and crying. Warning: It’s a photograph of Claire holding stillborn Religion. Outlander fan Andie selected the final word ache and wrote about Jamie, Claire and Fanny, “Religion giving them the possibility to boost a baby collectively.”

Congratulations to the solid and crew of Outlander on an incredible penultimate season. You actually took a leap. A leap of Religion.

And identical to that, Outlander has reinvented itself. Applause throughout.

Earlier than you go, take a look at the all-time finest ‘Outlander’ episodes you’ll want to watch.
