'Outlander' Season 4: Lord John Grey is the hero of the hour and the reason the show's love stories are alive

Lord John Grey's love for Jamie Fraser is all encompassing. He is not only looking after Jamie's son, but is also engaged to Brianna Fraser till Roger MacKenzie returns.

'Outlander' was always synonymous with Claire and Jamie Fraser, but season 4 centered around the lovestory of Brianna Fraser and Roger MacKenzie. However, one character who has always been integral to the plot, whether of the OG couple or the new couple, is Lord John Grey and without him, 'Outlander' would not have its essence.

Now that we are building up to the finale, Grey's importance in the time-traveling series is more important than ever, not only because he is the stepfather to Jamie's son Willie, but because he is now engaged to Brianna, who is awaiting her lover's return. "I should probably want you ’til the day I die," Grey had told Jamie in season 3.
