OUTLANDER: ON CHANGING THE PAST, PART 1: Adso steals a wig and "the Devil is in the details"

I confess, time travel dilemmas have always confused me. And in he case of Outlander, such dilemmas became even more confusing when the show differed slightly from the book series. Especially regarding the details of Jamie and Claire's obituary/ death notice, and the time line for the Big House fire, Mandy's birth, and the return of Roger, Bree and the kids to the 20th century.

In the show at least, the question about whether Roger and Bree changed Jamie and Claire's fate in the past was quickly settled in the affirmative. In episode 703, Roger explains to Bree that the match sticks she created in the past, "caused a fire" in December that her parents survived. So there was nothing left of the Big House to burn down and kill them the following January.

However, things were not so simple in the book series.

WARNING: Outlander book series spoilers ahead.

1776 VERSUS 1775: Divergence in the book series' and show's time lines

I realized part of my confusion with this plot was that the show and the book series had two slightly different time lines.

THE BOOK SERIES TIME LINE. In the official Outlander book series time line, Mandy was born in April 1776, and Roger, Bree & the kids returned to the 20th century on November 1, 1776. Furthermore, in An Echo in the Bone (ECHO), Jamie's letter to Bree announcing that he and Claire survived the fire was dated December 31, 1776. Consequently, there was no doubt in the book series (at least initially) that all these events happened in 1776.

THE SHOW'S TIME LINE. In episode 703, Jamie's same letter to Bree is dated April 1776. So in the show--unlike in the book series-- the Big House fire must have happened the previous December 1775.

Consequently, in the show, Mandy must have been born in 1775 and Bree, Roger & the kids must have returned to the 20th century in 1775.

The Show's "Obituary" vs. the Book Serie's "Death Notice"

THE "OBITUARY." In the show, a full obituary was written for the Frasers. But in the copy of it that Roger and Bree found in the future, the last digit of the year in which the obituary was published was blurred. The date of the obituary was therefore 21 January, 177X, and the obituary said that they died "On Sabbath evening last." Without the exact year, Roger & Bree couldn't extrapolate the exact date on which "Sabbath evening last" fell. As we shall see, in some ways, this made the plot simpler.

THE "DEATH NOTICE." In the book series, a simple death notice was written for the Frasers, rather than a full obituary. In Drums of Autumn (DOA), Diana Gabaldon tells us that the death notice was published in the Feb. 13, 1776 issue of a NC colonial newspaper, and the date of the fire was "January 21 last":

As we shall see under the cut of this post, it turns out that knowing the year when the Frasers' deaths reportedly occurred makes a lot of difference--at least in the book series.

ABOSAA: Adso and the January 21st Fire

Given the exact date of their deaths in the death notice in DOA, by the time of A Breath of Snow and Ashes (ABOSAA), the family assumed that Jamie and Claire would die in a fire in the Big House on January 21,1776.

Consequently on Jan. 21st they all gathered in Brianna and Roger's cabin (with Bree & Roger, who were still living on Fraser's Ridge, according to the book series' time line), to avoid being in the Big House that evening.

Then a mishap with Rollo caused the visiting Major MacDonald to fall in the snow. Claire put his wet wig in the pantry behind the phosphorous to keep Adso from getting it, to no avail, as she discovered when she later went to get the Major's wig for him:

“Oh, your wig! Just a moment, Major—I’ll fetch it.” I rushed out and round to the pantry—just in time to hear a crash as something fell inside. I jerked open the door, left ajar from my last visit, and Adso streaked past me, the Major’s wig in his mouth. Inside, the lean-to was in brilliant blue flames. --Diana Gabaldon (2005, p. 907)

Further damage of the pantry and the cabin by fire was prevented by Major MacDonald sacrificing his wet coat.

That's how Jamie and Claire "survived" January 21st in ABOSAA. Although DG never explicitly states it (at least that I recall), I always assumed that at least initially everyone thought the newspaper got it wrong about which house caught fire. And perhaps, they also assumed that because they had been forewarned about the fire, Adso's little escapade didn't end with the cabin burning down.

Regardless, Jamie and Claire must have thought they were finally safe from a fiery death--until Dec. 21, 1776, when the Big House caught fire.

[See more below the cut about why the death notice in the book series reported that the fire happened in January and not December, and why knowing the year the death notice was printed in the book series helped Bree and Roger realize they did in fact change the past after all.]

The Devil is in the Details

In ABOSAA Epilogue II: The Devil is in the Details, we learn that the original death notice that had been submitted to the newspaper reported that the fire had happened in December, but Sampson, the "new printer's devil" (i.e., apprentice) didn't have slugs in the right font for December and so he changed the date to January.

“What’s this, then?” Amos Crupp squinted at the page laid out in the bed of the press, reading it backward with the ease of long experience. “It is with grief that the news is received of the deaths by fire … Where’d that come from?” “Note from a subscriber,” said Sampson, his new printer’s devil, shrugging as he inked the plate. “Good for a bit of filler, there, I thought. [...] “Hmph. I s’pose. Very old news, though,” Crupp said, glancing at the date. “January?” “Well, no,” the devil admitted....“ ’Twas December, by the notice. But I’d set the page in Baskerville twelve-point, and the slugs for November and December are missing in that font. Not room to do it in separate letters, and not worth the labor to reset the whole page.” --Diana Gabaldon (2005, p. 980)

At first glance, it appears that DG had implied in ABOSAA that Roger and Bree didn't change history--that the newspaper had just printed the wrong month because of missing slugs in the proper font.

So the mystery about the wrong month in the death notice was solved--or was it?

Maybe More Was Afoot Than the "Printer's Devil's" Mistake

One might think that the books and show diverge here. In the show, the explanation for the erroneous month in the obituary is rather straight forward. It's because Roger and Bree had changed history. But in ABOSAA, we have a logical explanation for the incorrect month in the death notice--or do we?

Because in ECHO, Roger and Bree discover upon their return to the 20th century that one thing has changed in the death notice--the date. Although, they don't say which part of the date (the month or the year or both), at the very least, the YEAR had to have changed.

in ABOSAA, the Big House burned on Dec. 21, 1776. Therefore, news of the fire couldn't have appeared in the Feb. 13, 1776 newspaper like it originally did--because that would have meant the death notice was published slightly more than 10 months BEFORE the fire. Consequently, in ECHO, after they returned to the 20th century, Roger and Bree must have noticed that the YEAR that the newspaper printed the death notice had changed to 1777.

Confused? All I have to say is: Where is "Back to the Future's" Doc Brown when you need him? 🤷🏻‍♀️

In ECHO, Claire realizes that something is amiss with time when she talks to Tom Christie in Wilmington in April 1977. Tom told Claire that he had heard about the fire in "late January" from "a man named McCreary" who "had just come down from the mountain." Tom then asked Claire:

"Was there a fire?" “Well, yes, there was,” I said slowly, wondering whether—and how much—to tell him of the truth of that. Very little, in a public place, I decided. “Maybe it was Mr. McCreary, then, who placed the notice of the fire in the newspaper—but he can’t have.” The original notice had appeared in 1776, Roger had said—nearly a year before the fire. [emphasis added] “I placed it,” Christie said. Now it was my turn to blink. “You what? When?” I took a good-sized mouthful of whisky, feeling that I needed it more than ever. “Directly I heard of it. Or—well, no,” he corrected. “A few days thereafter. I … was very much distressed at the news,” he added, lowering his eyes and looking away from me for the first time since we’d sat down. --Diana Gabaldon (2009, p. 189)

So Claire knows something is wrong with the time line. The Big House burned down on Dec. 21, 1776 but the original notice about the house burning was printed on Feb. 13, 1776--months BEFORE it happened.

Bree and Roger must somehow have changed Claire's and Jamie's fates after all--in BOTH the book series and in the show.

This is likely why the show runners chose to simplify the plot by obscuring the the last digit of the year of the obituary's publication. By making the year vague, the audience does not have to work through all these steps that book readers have had to do over the years to reconcile the date of the death notice being about 10 months before the Big House burned down.

Still, that isn't the end of the questions about changing the past in the Outlander universe. Roger raises more religious questions in both the book series and the show. Part 2 of this two-part essay series will explore those questions.

Some of those scenes of Brianna and Roger arguing about Bonnet read to me almost like Roger was jealous(?) of Bonnet?? Thats the sort of vibe I got from the scene and I don’t know if that was just the way the actor was playing it or the way the scene was written or what but it makes me majorly uncomfortable every time I watch those scenes

Am I seeing something thats not there or did some of you get that feeling too??

For anyone interested, here's a playlist I created for Bree. She's my favorite character in Outlander, and I did my best to encompass her as a person, while also showing her as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend.

I hope you enjoy!

I just reread Written in My Own Heart’s Blood and I have a few questions. In earlier books, we don’t hear from Brian or Jenny about the mysterious man who was seeking his son. Or the ‘ghosts’ Brian thought he saw. So this makes the Roger plot contrivance seem awkward to me. Do you have any thoughts?

Regarding the book as a whole, do you think the numerous twists and turns and battles and extra characters were all necessary?

I respect your insights and hope to read your opinions on this book.

Thank you.

Thank you, anon, for this very insightful question.

I have two ways to think about this.

On the one hand - it's fascinating, and so much fun to "meet" characters (like Brian Fraser) for the first time, and to "see" familiar, long-dead characters again (BJR, Dougal MacKenzie). And, an interesting way to tie up the threads that were first put out there 4-5 books ago

and

On the other hand - it's a contrivance, and it's awkward, and one may say that the author is lacking creativity.

Similar to me with the whole plot point around Bree and Roger leaving each other letters in the desk at Lallybroch. And, with Bree conveniently coming back to the past with one of Frank Randall's books - which just so happens to be about the Scots in North Carolina, and which conveniently was never mentioned in previous books.

So, anon, to answer your question: Was it all necessary? Not really. Is it entertaining? Absolutely!

The filming of the eighth season of Starz’s historical series ‘Outlander’ is set to commence in Scotland in March 2024. The pre-production of the same started last month. The upcoming installment will also be the last season of the show. The second part of season 7 will premiere next year as well but the exact date is yet to be announced.

The midseason finale of the seventh installment brings Claire and Jamie back to Scotland after a series of intense events, including a battlefield encounter that leaves the latter knocked out but alive. Claire fiercely protects him from robbers, expressing her anger at his involvement in hand-to-hand combat. Despite the tension, Claire’s deep fear for Jamie’s life turns to relief as they make their way back to camp. Meanwhile, Ian makes a move that sparks a connection with Rachel and Major General Benedict Arnold makes a surprising appearance. The episode also hints at future challenges, especially regarding Jemmy’s disappearance and Mr. Roger’s wish to exact his vengeance on Young Ian.

The eighth season of the show will adapt Diana Gabaldon’s ninth book in the eponymous source novel series, titled ‘Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone,’ set during the American Revolutionary War. The narrative explores the strains on Claire and Jamie‘s relationship amidst the war’s backdrop. While the show may deviate slightly from the book’s events, season 7 provides hints of potential developments. Gabaldon previously teased that Jamie and Claire’s tale will have a “happy ending” and the viewers can expect the period drama to end with the same.

The upcoming season of the show will bring back Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan as Claire and Jamie, concluding their time-bending romance that has been the highlight of the show. The returning ensemble may include Sophie Skelton (Brianna “Bree” Fraser MacKenzie), Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), David Berry (Lord John Grey), Charles Vandervaart (William Ransom), and John Bell (Young Ian), promising heightened stakes in the concluding twists of the tale. In addition to the familiar faces, we can expect new additions to the cast as well.

Scotland also hosted the shooting of the previous seasons of the historical drama. Noteworthy productions like ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny‘ recently emerged from the country’s vibrant film scene. The release date of the eighth season of the Starz show remains uncertain, with speculations suggesting a potential arrival in the first half of 2025.

Anyone else convinced that Bree's employee, Rob Cameron, was totes hittin on Roger? Cause the way I saw it play out was this:

Roger: just having a normal, heterosexual conversation with Cameron.

Me: *watching Cameron fumble his way through the convo and forcibly invite himself to dinner at the MacKenzie house* HE'S GAY, YOUR HONOR. THAT MAN IS GAY. *points violently at the screen*

The preview for next week's episode:

Roger: Rob Cameron has a hot eye for you.

Bree: That's ridiculous.

Me: THAT'S RIGHT. CAUSE HE WANTS TO JUMP ROGER'S BONES, NOT YOURS!

I'm convinced, y'all. Convinced.

SPOILERS AHEAD ! ! ! 🦜 (what she said)

Outlander Just Broke Our Hearts. Here's How Sam Heughan and Caítríona Balfe Reacted.

Robert Wilson/Starz

The official logline for episode 702 of Outlander secretly warned us what we were in for ("a startling discovery about Roger and Brianna's newborn daughter; a familiar face returns; explosive consequences at the Ridge…"), but nothing could have prepared us for everything that went down, both literally and figuratively. Written by Toni Graphia and directed by Lisa Clarke, the episode—titled “The Happiest Place on Earth”—harkened back to Outlander's early days, when traveling through the Stones was commonplace, and Jamie and Claire were left with nothing but each other.

The episode starts at Fraser's Ridge, with Claire looking well after being captured. However, she soon runs into Malva's brother, Allan, who is visiting his sister's grave. We learn that he was the one who killed his sister because he raped her and the unborn child was his. He pulls out a pistol and tries to kill himself, but Claire pulls the gun away, thinking she's saved him until Ian shoots him with an arrow and kills him. Later, when Claire and Ian go to bury Allan, Mrs. Bug sees what they're doing and offers to help.

Following the opening credits, we see footage of Disneyland from the ‘50s, which seems to make no sense until later in the episode. (On that note, how much fun would it be to see a fantasy episode in which Jamie is able to travel through the Stones and Claire takes him to Disneyland? I’d watch that in a heartbeat).

Anyway, the joy of Disneyland soon gives way to Bree screaming at the top of her lungs about to give birth. (Hey, I'm sure some people have had a similar reaction to The Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror). She gives birth to a little girl named Amanda Claire Hope Mackenzie. But soon thereafter Claire notices Mandy’s fingernails are blue-ish. She listens to her heartbeat, and realizes that Mandy has excess blood flowing to the lungs which means not enough oxygenated blood flows through the body. Mandy will probably not survive without surgery.

And so, the Mackenzies decide they must go through the Stones. But first they must prepare for the trip ahead. While gathering supplies, Bree runs into Lord John and meets William Ransom, Jamie’s son, and her half-brother. Bree is annoyed that Lord John won’t tell William about Jamie, and says she hasn’t forgotten about her other father (Frank) or stopped loving him. Later, Jamie visits Lord John and says he won’t be fighting for the British. Lord John gives him a sapphire to give to Bree to pass thru the Stones. Jamie is overcome with emotion.

Bree, Lord John, and William. Robert Wilson/Starz

In the official press notes for the episode, David Berry (Lord John) says “that was an interesting scene to film. Lisa, the director, and I discussed this was like it was a divorce scene. The separation of Jamie and Lord John; Jamie has taken his allegiance to the Continentals and Lord John to the British—there is now an irreconcilable difference. However, there's still immense love there from both sides. The sapphire was symbolic of a ring—a piece of jewelry that unifiest them or a symbol of their deep connection. So, the giving back of the ring is an act of love, but it's also a goodbye. It's a way of ending the relationship.”

Anyway, we get to the meaning of the episode's title later that evening when Jamie and Bree spot fireflies in the forest. She tells him about Disneyland and why it's known as the Happiest Place on Earth. He asks if she’s disappointed being here in the 18th century, but she says no because it’s magical being with him.

Later, Jamie gives Claire a small gem in case she wants to go through the Stones as well, but she throws it out the window, never giving a second thought to leaving Jamie behind. They kiss and he says they should fetch that gem.

The next day the Mackenzies and Frasers travel by boat to the Ocracoke Stones. It’s a highly emotional scene all around, for both Claire and Bree, Jamie and Roger Mac, Jamie and Bree, Jamie and Jemmy (you get the picture). The intensity of the moment is balanced out by a sweet and clever exchange with Jamie and Jemmy where he tells his grandson to send his regards to “Michael Mouse.” Of course, any laughter one might have soon gives way to full-on waterworks when Jamie tells Bree he doesn't have the words and can't say goodbye.

The hardest of goodbyes. Robert Wilson/Starz

The Mackenzies successfully pass through the Stones, which we learn when they wake up and see a plane in the sky. Meanwhile, back in the 18th century, Jamie and Claire arrive back at the Ridge and things start to heat up in bed before Claire starts crying. She says every time she closes her eyes, she’s lost half her family. She tells Jamie she’ll never see them again, and he says he often thinks of Murtagh, as he knows they’ve lost a great many between them. Claire starts bawling. I'm bawling. Where's a trip to Disneyland when you need one?

At least we then get a little montage of things going well at the Ridge. However, there's too much time left in this episode for it to end on this uplifting note. Soon enough, Claire enters into the main house at night where she stumbles upon fellow time-traveler, Wendigo Donner. Claire wants to know what he is doing there and questions where he was when she needed his help before she was gang-raped. He says he would have been killed had he tried to intervene, but he's not there to talk about the past. Instead, he wants to get back to the present day and needs her help on how to travel through the Stones. She's reluctant, but just wants him out of her life, so she advises him to focus, have a clear conscience, don't drink, etc. But this being Outlander, he then pulls out a pistol and asks for more gemstones. He and his men (who had also been holding Jamie in another room) start ripping apart the house, including Claire’s lab. While I love this entire house, it's the demolition of Claire's hard work developing ether and all that's in her lab that leaves me the most devastated. But then it gets worse; Wendigo lights a match so he and his men can have more light to find the gemstones, but the fire from the match comes in contact with the ether, and the episode ends with the house blowing up.

“That was a really emotional, in part because it comes on the heels of losing Bree and Roger and the kids,” Caítríona Balfe (Claire) tells Glamour. “I think for Claire, she was trying to hold everything in and be the strong person who's let them go for a really good reason…but it's this thing of just losing your home [that breaks her]. It is such a destabilizing thing.”

The house going up in flames means it was also the end of a massive—and important—set piece that's been part of Outlander for several seasons now. “We were saying goodbye to that place, the location that had been our home for the last couple of years,” Sam Heughan (Jamie) adds. “It holds a lot of memories for Jamie and Claire.”

But before we get too much into the aftermath of the fire, we hopped on a Zoom with executive producer Maril Davis to talk about the episode as a whole, and what the goodbye scene means going forward.

Glamour: That was the most emotional episode I've seen in awhile, and also one of my favorites.

Maril Davis: Well, I cry every time I watch that goodbye scene [at the Stones], and I've seen it 20 times. I just think there's something so sad about it as a mom to be sending your daughter back through. And then also, I think the complicated thing about that scene was there was a lot of goodbyes. Do you know what I mean? You had Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Bye bye. And then I think actors and director and the writers all figured out a way to make it kind of seamless and so heartfelt.

When Jamie says goodbye to Jemmy and has that iconic line about, "If you see a mouse named, Michael, tell him I say hi." But my favorite, favorite line from that scene that I'm so glad made it in is when Jamie at the end declares something to the effect of, "If not for you, I would not go on." And that to me encapsulates their whole relationship. It's like I've just sent my kid and my grandkids through. I do not think I can make it except for you. That's the only reason I'm still alive. And I'm just like, oh my God, I just want to cry.

Claire and Jamie Forever. Robert Wilson/Starz

Wasn't it also the last scene for the little actors (Andrew and Matthew Adair) that played Jemmy?

Yes. So yes, those twins, we won't be seeing them again. I know they've grown so much.

When might we get a Roger, Bree, Claire, and Jamie reunion?

I think we've been at pains to try to show that going through the Stones is not easy. It's not like a low revolving door that you could just go through. And I think it takes its toll going through the Stones and people have died. We know from past seasons that Wendigo Donner, his friends didn't make it. It takes its toll on you, so it's not something you should enter into lightly. So I think, Bree and Roger are thinking, this is a time we should stay in, that feels like a safer time. And I think Jamie and Claire feel better knowing they're in this other time and they're safe. But are they?

So will they reunite this season and be in the same time period?

I can't say anything. You'll have to watch.

Let's talk about the fire at the end. Wow.

Oh my God, I'm so sad to see that house go. It's so sad. But on the other hand, we have been talking about this fire for so long. I think I just wanted to tap in and us to move on. It was so sad though. That beautiful house is no longer there, but I think also the aftermath of it is so brilliantly done by our art department.

And that took a long time to do. That's not just like, oh, we burn it down. That's a piece of art. I think for the actors, it was a really sad moment for them as well, because we've been filming on this set for a long time. We no longer have this set, and we said goodbye to some sets this year. We also said goodbye to our Wilmington set. And it's something very sad when you say goodbye to these pieces of your show that you're not going to go back to. It feels like a nostalgia and a kind of bittersweet moment. It's just like everything you know and love is gone. But that's the point of it. It's like that's just possession and the important thing is right here.

Glamour

Remember… it's this thing of just losing your home [that breaks her]. It is such a destabilizing thing. — Caitríona Balfe

I was actually thinking of that Mustang of yours. Remember that time we drove up into the mountains in North Carolina? I do. You almost drove us off the road. Because someone thought it was a good idea to kiss me at 75 miles per hour. We almost broke up that weekend. We did break up that weekend. Yeah, but then I pursued you. Through time. [CHUCKLES] Usual story. Mm, watch where you're going there, Ace. I thought ye found speed erotic. Vroom, vroom. Uh-uh, we'll wake Jemmy. Mm-mm. Nary a Ford Mustang could wake him. Do you think we'll ever go 75 miles per hour again?

Okay you know what lemme see about just leaving Tumblr open and jotting down my thoughts through the whole episode over constantly reblogging my one post

Probably won't succeed but anywho:

Claire in her letter: Still alive!

Roger: look I punched a man!

Oh they're related

OH this is the guy who punched Roger when Roger hugged his wife and then got him hanged!

So the punch was well-deserved

Hessians--Sleepy Hollow time

"What are my odds for hitting a turkey?" Sir, not well

Horse: excuse me, that's MINE

So for a hot second I thought they fed him a pop-tart

Sir, you're in their house, eating their food--maybe shut up

Whoever is on Tumblr that said the one pushy guy has the hots for Roger...my Mom agrees with you

Nice save, guy, figured Bree would chuck you into that fireplace

Here comes Jamie, looking hot as usual

Claire: "A book?"

Jamie: "You remember books, right? Words on paper?"

Jamie's flexing his printer skills and also having the gall to have better eyesight than Claire at this point

I'm not sure if General Fraser is related to Jamie but he's got good I fight and bleed with my men energy

William: I want to fight!

Mom: Your dad says no

Me: Both his dads say no

Bree and Roger: oh no he's loose

Elder MacKenzie being educated on television by the kids XD

Bree and Roger arguing over who gets to babysit Cousin Buck X'D

Roger: Oh yeah we worked out our differences after I beat him to the ground

Cousin Buck: I just met this man and I want to kill him

Bree: plz don't kill my coworker that causes paperwork

Betcha ten to one said coworker rooted through their letters

Oh Miami Vice music!

ew horny

Okay back to plot

Uh-oh I'm getting bad vibes

Why are they meeting in the open I know we knew better after the French and Indian War

Oh man I liked that guy

This is very much how my history teacher described the French and Indian War too

"You got the British marching in line in bright red with a big white X on the front and in case you were blind they were also blowing trumpets and drumming drums--so of course they were dropping like flies and not listening to the Americans telling them this is not how you fight the Indians."

"Jemmy's gone!"

HE TOOK JEMMY THROUGH THE STONES

Mom on William: Where's his big X?

Me: That's why he survived

William's looking a little disillusioned there

UH-OH

DON'T YOU DARE

AND THEN A TWO-WEEK WAIT!?
