I knew what was coming in the back half of season seven (book readers, you with me?

But it is right!

Before his last breath, Ian is surrounded by both Jamie and Jenny, taking their hands in his.

Ians actual last word, however, is Jenny as he looks over at his wife one last time.

RIP, my dude!

Its not a great time to be in favor of American Independence in the City of Brotherly Love.

Claires reunion with Lord John is sweet, if full of panic.

The surgery is a success!

Thank god at least something on this show goes well the first time around.

Colonial America is such a small world, you dont even know.

She seemed much more concerned about Henrys well-being, if you know what I mean.

For the record, I am very much on board with some Loyalist/Continentalist caretaker/invalid romancing ifOutlandershould go there.

Soon enough, though, Mercy has another problem to worry about: Surprise!

Shes a spy for the Continental Army.

A very cool time for women!

Claire doesnt hesitate to take the very important letter meant for George Washington to the drop-off spot.

Claire Fraser is now a rebel spy; what a time!

Gird your loins, people!

The vibes, it must be said, are quite bleak.

The ship Jamie was supposedly on was lost at sea.

There were no survivors.

Mine would stop, too!

This absolutely devastating sentiment is met with an equally devastating one from Lord John: Perhaps it already has.

Like I said, bleak.

Claire retreats to her room for days.

We relive several majorOutlandermoments in which Jamie and Claires lives were in peril but they survived.

How could he not survive this?

If only Claire knew that never in one million years wouldOutlanderhave one of its leads drown off-screen.

Its hard to get too emotional here because there is just no way Jamie is really dead.

Well, it turns out that Claire isnt good at everything she happens to be a resoundingly shitty spy.

And she gets caught.

Very considerate on Richardsons part, no?

Richardson tells him hell come back the next day.

Lord John races up to Claires room and breaks through the locked door.

You must marry me!

He yells in her general direction.

Claire responds as most women would with crazy eyes and a da fuq?

Babe, do you think hes just asking you to marry him for funsies?

And he does have a very good reason!!

Well, technically, its the worst, but you get what Im saying.

Oh baby, you know shes going to say yes!

We are living!!

Some other major events take place in this episode, but do we even care at this point?

It also serves a significant purpose.

The evidence Dougal brings to Roger turns out to be military ID tags from World War II.

Rogers father is the fairy man trapped in 1739, not Rob.

Its not great for Jem, but Roger honestly seems kind of jazzed to find his dad.

It is mostly underwhelming.

I know Rachel is anti-violence, but she probably couldve given the guy a nice shove and gotten away.

His tussle with Ian is laughable.

The guy is down bad!

Unfortunately for him, Rachels heart belongs to Ian.

They are very in love.

Old Ian would be so happy.

Well, at least someone is.

We are headed into chaos!
