Will Murtagh return to Outlander?

We know that Claire and Jamie are the greatest love story of all time. But it couldn’t exist without the beautiful bond between Jamie and Murtagh, and this episode did a very good job of honouring that friendship. I have the streaks of mascara running down my face to prove it. The question is: will they ever be reunited?

Of course, this isn’t the first time Jamie and Murtagh have been separated – they emotionally reunited in season four after years apart. But something about this feels more “final”. And as Murtagh’s character doesn’t follow the same story as the books, we don’t know his future.

So we will just have to watch the rest of the season to find out.

Slàinte to that.

HOT SCOTS: THIS WEEK’S HEART-RACING SCENES

The moment when Jamie digs out his old kilt to go and light the fiery cross and make a powerful speech about community and honour will be forever there in the Outlander part of my brain. And the way Claire gives him a silent “on your feet, soldier” with her subtle nod is TO DIE FOR.
After Roger hesitates over whether or not he’ll support Bri and Stephen’s baby, Jocasta – an utter legend – covertly tests him about his loyalty. Roger finally redeems himself by swearing a blood oath to accept baby Jemmy as his own son, and unknowingly passing the test. Top work all round.
And we need to give another shout out to Murtagh in that flashback – what a guy.
