Do not read if you have not yet watched “Famous Last Words,” the eighth episode of “When “Famous Last Words” first started, it took “Outlander” viewers out of the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Alamance and instead showed Roger and Brianna back at Oxford in 1969 when they were first dating. He gave lecture about different historic figures’ famous last words and then, after the class ended, he and Bree talked about going to see a silent movie.

Bree bore the brunt of Roger’s isolation, desperate to have her husband back. She even talked to Claire about it, saying that Roger reminded her of her roommate’s boyfriend who fought in the Vietnam War. When he came back, he was distant and had a haunted look in his eyes — that was what Bree was seeing in Roger. Claire told her that was what people refer to as “shell shock” and it’s not uncommon in people returning from war. For Roger, this was very much the same thing.

For non-book readers, this was a change to the timeline in the fifth book. There, Ian doesn’t return until the very end; he is not with Roger when Roger surveys the land given to him by Governor Tryon as settlement for the Red Coats trying to execute him. But this was a clever change on the part of the show’s writers because Ian was just the jolt Roger needed.

The two men found some commonality in how their respective traumas resulted in some profound loneliness. Ian didn’t get into too many details about why he left the Mohawk and how he lost his wife, though.
