If “Outlander” has proved anything this season it’s that the Fraser/MacKenzie clan works better together, and sidelining Bree wasn’t the smartest move. Sure, Roger had filled her in on Jamie’s plan, but by not bringing her to the table as Roger and Jamie discussed which of them should kill Bonnet (or even well before that), the show was leaning into that male energy that often casts female characters to the side under the guise of needing protection. It’s the ultimate victimization of a woman whose actions indicate that she may actually consider herself a survivor, and who has proven that she can handle such conversations. It’s all fine and well to want to honor the woman you love, but the problematic piece to that particular storyline is that no one made Bree a participant in the plan, or consulted her as someone who may have had an opinion on the subject of her rapist.

And so the series skipped ahead to a storyline out of Diana Gabaldon’s next book, “A Breath of Snow and Ashes,” on Sunday night’s “Mercy Shall Follow Me,” when the protagonist family put their whiskey dreams of catching the pirate in motion.įollowing Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) run-in with the powder-faced Philip Wylie (Chris Donald) a few episodes back, Wylie had arranged the promised meet-and-greet to secure Bonnet as a “business partner” in Jamie’s whiskey venture. Given all of the enemies and high-stakes storylines facing the Frasers so far this season on “ Outlander,” it was impossible to draw out the return of Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers) any more than the show already has.
