There’s absolutely no doubt that Outlander’s seventh season has been one of the show’s best. Packed full of twists and turns that even the most hardened of fans couldn’t have seen coming, Outlander Season 7 has been a whirlwind of television that has taken millions of viewers on a time-hopping adventure through the depths of human relationships.
Now, after fifteen captivating episodes and a penultimate entry that was one of the season’s best, Outlander is coming to an end… for now at least. The Season 7 finale, “A Hundred Thousand Angels”, is primed to be an explosive final outing that will hopefully bring to a close the many loose threads Outlander has woven. With that in mind, here’s a look at everything you need to know about the Outlander Season 7 finale.

What Happened in ‘Outlander’ Season 7, Episode 15?
Titled “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood”, the penultimate episode of Outlander’s penultimate season was as dramatic as it was emotional. Titled after the eighth book in Diana Gabaldon’s series, the fifteenth episode began with a punch-packing montage of the entire series, reminding viewers of what had come before and beautifully setting up a tense final two entries. Seeing just how far Claire (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) have come is a sobering reminder not just of this season’s impending end, but of the entire series, with just a single eighth season left to go. It is Claire and Jamie who face the wrath of this penultimate episode too, with the pair facing death and the Battle of Monmouth, and the episode ending with the stars quite literally dying from Claire’s point of view.
As all the vibrant, mind-bending plot threads come to an end, it’s difficult for fans not to look back on this and the other six seasons and feel overwhelmed with just how far this time-jumping, historical love story has come. This is also the case for the cast, with actors Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin talking about this emotional ending in an interview with Collider. Rankin said:
“A great sense of loss comes to you quite immediately. When it actually happens, you think, “Nah, it’s fine. I’m cool as a cucumber. I’ll be all right.” And then, this really bizarre thing happens, or it did for me anyway, on the last day, when a lot of things come out and you start thinking of various moments during the past eight or nine years, experiences you’ve had on and off camera, and where you started. Here you are on the last day that you’ll properly step into these characters’ shoes and the relationship that you have with your co-stars is going away. However you feel about it, that’s gonna be a part of you that’s no longer there. It’s funny, it’s a really strange thing to come to terms with and is something that I have never really done before because there’s nothing else I’ve been on for that length of time. When you look at it, we’ve been together for 10 years. That’s like being in a relationship, in a lot of ways.”
