What will happen in Outlander season 8 episode 5?

A brief preview for Send for the Devil was unveiled recently and depicts Jamie Fraser (portrayed by Sam Heughan) being warned by neighbour Aaron Whittaker (Tomisin Ajani) that Captain Charles Cunningham (Kieran Bew) is “coming” for him.

William Ransom (Charles Vandervaart) alerts Brianna MacKenzie (Sophie Skelton): “I’m afraid the battle has begun.”

She was awaiting her husband Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin) to return from his quest to purchase arms.

However, Roger was detained and compelled to fight in the battle with Brianna left in the dark.

The preview cuts back to Jamie talking to Buck MacKenzie (Diarmaid Murtagh) and Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe): “There’s only one way I can see to stop it.”

Elspeth Cunningham (Frances Tomelty) later talks to Claire: “Your husband was a pardoned traitor. He has earned his execution.”

Claire then asks Jamie not to leave, but he tries to reassure her: “We have a plan.” But she tells him: “Plans fail.”

The teaser culminates in a montage of dramatic shots, including a man standing before a line of corpses wrapped in sheets.

Outlander season 8 airs on Starz in the USA on Fridays and on MGM+ via Prime Video in the UK on Saturdays
