We enter heavy spoiler territory after this. Starz wanted most of the big twists and turns faced by Jamie, Claire, Young Ian, Brianna, and Roger to remain top secret. Frankly, I’m glad I obliged. Pure ecstasy waiting Foreign The fact that fans are moving at warp speed with this show is something I wouldn’t want to deny them.

As always, Foreign‘s beating heart is the incandescent chemistry between Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe. Heughan has done an incredible job turning James Fraser into a reliable father figure, but the fire that defines young Jamie still burns. Balfe is once again asked to take the indefatigable Claire to the darkest emotional reaches imaginable, and he does so with complete abandon. Elsewhere, Izzy Meikle-Small continues to bring feisty passion to her rebellious Quaker character, and Richard Rankin is tasked with something the show has never asked for from Roger before: a voiceover!

Foreign fans need to know that the back half of Season 7 is worth the long wait. Your patience will be rewarded with a rollercoaster of romance, surprises and beautiful old Scotland. Keep the faith and hold on to your skirts. After years of accumulation, (the narrative) will reach its climax.
