This week, fans of the Starz drama “Outlander” will have to wait for the midseason finale on August 11. However, the anticipation is heightened by Charles Vandervaart’s comments about the potential reunion between Jamie Fraser and his character, William Ransom, at the Second Battle of Saratoga.
In the latest episode, both Jamie and William prepare for war as the storyline reaches the first Battle of Saratoga in September 1777. This battle, with its historical significance, is predicted by Claire, who knows of future events and understands its impact on America’s struggle for independence.
Yet, history reveals that there is a second, more crucial battle in the American Revolutionary War, one that will determine victory for one side. It is during this battle that Jamie and William, who are on opposing sides, may finally reunite. Clues throughout the season suggest this encounter is imminent.
In an interview with Insider, conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike was announced, Vandervaart teases the complexity of the father-son reunion on the battlefield, stating, “We’re definitely on opposite sides, so it’s a bit of a complicated thing.”
Vandervaart discusses William’s naivety and lack of understanding about the complexities of life and the violence of war. He remarks, “He doesn’t quite realize how complicated life can end up being.”
The likelihood of Jamie and William meeting on the battlefield grows as William crosses paths with various members of the Fraser family throughout the season. From chance encounters with Brianna and encounters with Young Ian to playing a role in holding Claire captive, it is evident that their paths are intertwining.
In these encounters, tension arises as the other characters are aware of William’s true parentage, while William himself remains oblivious. Vandervaart humorously comments, “Every time I meet someone who is supposedly related to me, I, William, don’t know this.”
Only time will reveal whether William eventually discovers his true father. However, the more pressing question is how their encounter will unfold on the chaotic battlefield.
The “Outlander” midseason finale will be available to stream on Starz.com on Friday, August 11 at 8 p.m.
