Best Brianna Moments in Outlander Season 7 Mid-Season Finale, Ranked
What was the moment that moved you the most?
The midseason finale of Outlander Season 7, which aired on Starz on 11 August, dedicated much of its screen time to the Battles of Saratoga and the aftermath of those confrontations. Thus, there were few storylines focused on the 20th century and the MacKenzies.
Still, fans of Sophie Skelton were treated to a handful of poignant moments that beautifully set the stage for the second half of Season 7. Here are all the Brianna scenes that made our hearts skip a beat, ranked by their emotional impact.
5. Proving the Jacobite Gold Curse
Brianna's realisation that gold prompted Cameron to take Jemmy through the stones provided a flash of clarity. It confirmed that the Jacobite Gold Curse exists and continues to imperil lives centuries after its creation.
4. Saving Gems
As she assists Roger in preparing for his journey to the past, Brianna reveals her knack for gem collecting. She's amassed these gems as a precaution for anyone needing to traverse the stones again. Although she hoped never to tap into this collection, fate has other plans.
3. Giving Buck Freedom
Even when Buck volunteers to accompany Roger, Brianna doesn't press the issue. She understands the challenges of returning to an era where one feels out of place. Given the choice, she'd remain in the past. It's this empathy that Bree extends to Buck, despite their differences, that resonates deeply with viewers.
2. Staying in the 20th Century
Brianna is known for her steadfast convictions and aversion to being manipulated. However, when Roger decisively states his intention to pursue Cameron and Jemmy solo, Bree refrains from contesting. Aware of her responsibility to her daughter, she trusts her husband to rescue Jemmy, even if inaction tears at her heartstrings. This moment underscores how Bree's character has grown over the series.
1. Saying Goodbye to Roger
Undoubtedly, the culmination of Brianna's midseason arc is awash with emotion. Watching her husband and Buck step through the stones, Bree struggles to contain her tears — a sentiment many of us share. Parting ways, uncertain if a reunion is in the cards, is heart-wrenching.
