Jemmy (Blake Johnston-Miller), Mandy (Rosa Morris), and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) make appearances in episode five of “Outlander” season seven. Warning: spoilers ahead. The opening credits have been slightly modified to represent the show’s new storylines and simultaneous timelines. The credits now feature clips that reflect both the Fraser’s life in the 18th century and the MacKenzies’ life in the 20th century. Certain scenes, like Brianna and Roger rowing to Ocracoke, have been replaced with new clips, such as hands holding a colorful airplane toy, to symbolize the modern timeline. Names in the opening credits have also changed, indicating the absence of certain characters, like Tom Christie, while introducing new characters like Charles Vandervaart.
The episode, titled “Singapore,” references a battle from WWII and draws a parallel to Jamie’s strategy in defending Fort Ticonderoga in the 18th century. Jamie compares General Fermoy’s plan to the Battle of Singapore, where the British Army incorrectly assumed that the jungle terrain was impassable, similar to Fermoy’s belief in a land attack instead of an attack by water. However, despite their warning, the British fail to defend the fort, just as Singapore was taken by the Japanese.
In another storyline, Ian encounters his former wife Emily, whom he discovers has a son who shares similarities with Ian. Ian gladly gives the child an Anglicized name, Ian James, paralleling Jamie’s christening of his own secret son in a previous season.
Brianna and Roger have adorned Lallybroch with Fraser family heirlooms, including a faded tapestry that may have once hung in the castle in the 18th century. Additionally, Roger discovers a hidden drawer in an old desk that contains more heirlooms from the property.
A mysterious occurrence happens when Brianna encounters a shimmering barrier in the tunnel of Loch Errenty, reminiscent of the standing stone circles that allow time travel. However, Brianna remains in the 1980s after passing through it, leaving questions about the possibilities of time travel.
The episode concludes with Brianna speaking to Jamie at a makeshift grave, mirroring a moment from season two when Claire converses with Jamie at a memorial stone. This parallel highlights the strong bond between Claire, Brianna, and Jamie, even if they are unable to be together physically.
In summary, “Outlander” season seven, episode five introduces new storylines and characters while drawing connections to past seasons and exploring the themes of time travel and familial bonds.
