This episode marks one of the biggest twists of any Outlander storyline to date. And I'm so happy with how hard the production has worked to keep it a secret in any promo or trailer for the past few months. I've read the books and I've been waiting for this moment in Roger and Bree's journey for so many years, my eyes were shining like never before the whole episode.

The dialogues were carefully written and performed competently by the whole team. I find it incredible how effectively each member of the cast embodies their character. It's so real for them and for us too. Everything was smooth but heartbreaking at the same time.

And yet here we are in the seventh season of this incredible show that started almost 10 years ago. And yet, at 702 "The Happiest Place on Earth", Outlander remains deeply moving and beautifully engrossing and satisfying to watch. Whether it is the strength of the performances of the main actors but also of the supporting actors, whether it is the production design which includes the sets and the costumes, whether it is the cinematography or the script, this episode was able once again as in the season 2 or 3 catching up with the essence of Outlander and why myself and all the other fans (I presume) fell in love with this great story in the beggining. As for me, I watched seasons 1 and 2 before I started reading the books in 2017, and I know this episode gave me the same feeling I had when my mind was saying "ok that's it , I want the novels".

Also, I would personally like to add that I found Sophie Skelton (Brianna) acting superb in this episode with her departure to the 20th century and the heartbreaking goodbye.

The same for all the other performances.

Thank you once again to the entire cast and crew for delivering what is possibly one of the best-crafted and best-packaged episodes of Outlander in recent years.

Still processing the emotions brought to the surface in this episode. Anger, disgust, joy, happiness, sadness, despair and shock! This episode was orchestrated and delivered beautifully by the entire cast and production team.

Alex Vlahos portrayed his sadist-psycho character brilliantly in the opening scene. Sam Heughan & Caitriona Balfe were absolutely phenomenal in the heart breaking scene after their family traveled back to the future, knowing they may never see them again.

This was a neatly packaged wrap up to all that was left hanging at the end of Season 6. Now the Frasers & MacKenzies are heading into uncharted waters but without the lifeline of their extended family and support system.

I see a lot of negative reviews for Outlander, but I find it to still be fresh and give us the right amount of historical drama, romance and genuine entertainment. I wish that Malva had stuck around a little longer, but they have managed to extract just a little bit more drama from her this season, so it worked out. Now Ian will have to look over his shoulder for awhile.

I don't know how I feel about them abandoning the US for Scotland, but a journey overseas, finally highlighting the difficulty of travel during this era, could be exactly what the show needs to deliver a quality season in year 7.

So they've done it again! First Steven bonnet disappeared in the blink of an eye, and now the Malva storyline gets swepped under the carpet in a flash to never be seen again! Geez the amount of build up and great storytelling to get there just gets lost with a finish in the first 5 minutes my god! I'll continue to watch in the hopes of some upcoming episodes that could rival the early season episodes. And hopefully the long game storyline of lord John and William pays dividends and doesn't just disappear into the "Ether" like some bad dream. At least the acting and set designs were quite good in this episode.
