After weeks of watching Outlander prepare for war, the time has finally come and the battle begins in this week's episode. The big showdown at Culloden is still weeks away, but this Saturday's episode gets the highlanders out on the field at Prestonpans for a fight that, according to Claire, they're sure to win. However, that doesn't mean the highlanders have nothing to worry about.
While we got a little sneak peek at the Artistry of Outlander exhibit that is currently going on at the Paley Center for Media, we also caught up with a few of the show's stars and producers to get the scoop on what's ahead. In a nutshell, things are about to get real intense, and emotional.
"Prestonpans is a big momentous point, a big turn, in fate for the highlanders," Sam Heughan agrees, "so it's not going to be an easy ride."
That sense of doom, and the fact that everyone knows how this will all end, isn't easy for the characters or for the people making the show.
"It it hard in a dramatic way to keep your characters motivated and moving forward if they know what the outcome is going to be and you know what the outcome is going to be, and still make it feel dramatic, and let them home they can stop it," explains executive producer Maril Davis. "I think we've done an amazing job, though this season we've struggled a bit because we had to fill in some gaps, and we were dealing with this issue of how there's a doomed cause at the end. How do we keep them fighting for it?"
One thing that has kept the show interesting despite us seemingly knowing what's going to happen is Jamie and Claire's marriage. It's gone through some incredibly rough patches this season, but currently seems stronger than ever, despite the fact that Claire and Jamie are in two very different places.
