Outlander is presently in the midst of producing its eighth and final season, which will consist of 10 episodes. During a recent appearance at The Land Con 6 in Paris, Outlander star Sam Heughan revealed that filming for Season 8 is already underway, with the team currently three weeks into production.
What happened in Outlander season 7 episode 8?
The first part of Outlander season 7 ended with an explosive midseason finale that concluded some storylines introduced in the season and kicked off new ones that will be central in its second part.
With Outlander season 7, episode 7’s ending confirming to Roger that Rob Cameron had traveled with Jemmy to the past, the 1980s timeline all focused on the Mackenzies separating, as Buck and Roger planned to follow Cameron and Jemmy through the stones at Craigh na Dun.
Although Outlander season 7, episode 8 didn’t expand on where Buck and Roger ended up, the Outlander books hint at things not going smoothly for them.
While the Mackenzies saw little happening besides Buck and Roger’s time travel, the 1777 timeline was full of events. The aftermath of the first battle of Saratoga had Claire fearing for the worst, but what brought the story forward the most for the Frasers was the second battle of Saratoga, which saw much loss but also hope for the Frasers and Ian Murray’s future.
From the characters met and the discoveries made, Jamie and Claire had plenty on their plates, leading to an all in all rewarding midseason finale and a long-awaited trip home in the episode’s ending.
