Five episodes remain in a thrilling second part of Outlander’s seventh season. In recent episodes, the unpredictability of the many shocks, twists, and turns has felt like a staple of each passing scene, with audiences barely able to catch their breath before another secret is revealed. Episode 11, “A Hundredweight of Stones,” focused on the fallout of a heavily impactful death, only for the episode to swing into action at the very end with the somewhat expected reveal that that grief may have been for nothing. So, with all that in mind, and with more jaw-dropping moments on their way as Outlander enters the latter stages of Season 7, here’s a look at everything you need to know about episode 12.

What Happened in ‘Outlander’ Season 7, Episode 11?
After Jamie (Sam Heughan) is pronounced dead at sea at the end of episode 10, episode 11, “A Hundredweight of Stones,” written by Sarah H. Haught and directed by Lisa Clarke, has to deal with the many affected grievers and the sudden and shocking necessity of Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Lord John Grey’s (David Berry) marriage. Going through with the nuptials was never going to be easy for a solemn Claire, with this third exchanging of vows across the entire series her most unloveable yet. Alas, she takes her ring off almost as soon as it is put on, declaring her grief untouched as she can barely stare the future in the face, let alone John. Speaking to Variety about Claire’s awful marital ordeal, Balfe said:
“I think Claire appeared equally as miserable for her Jamie wedding, although secretly happy inside. Outwardly very miserable then, and certainly miserable now. I think she is just numb now. She is in the process of shock. It is purely functional — this is to save her. She is at that stage of grief where she doesn’t quite know what to think or feel, and I think she expects to feel something different than she does. And the fact that she doesn’t feel it is a source of betrayal of her own self. It is not a very happy occasion.”
However, just when one thinks the twists couldn’t get any bigger, the episode ends in typical Outlander fashion with a major string of events, with William (Charles Vandervaart) learning of his true identity, the Redcoats closing in, and Jamie’s ‘return from the dead’ as it is confirmed it was an error that his name placed on the boat. It’s continually ever-more impossible to guess what is going to happen next, and Outlander fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
