'Outlander' Season 4 review: 'Wilmington', is the most heartbreaking episode featuring sex, gore and brutality

'Wilmington' will break you down as this episode teaches us people don't change and temporary happiness is sadness at best
PUBLISHED DEC 24, 2018

'Down the Rabbit Hole' was, hands-down, the best episode of season 4, but what came with 'Wilmington,' was nothing but despair. A temporary happiness is sadness at best, and that's what happens to Brianna Randall, who after reuniting with her ex-boyfriend Roger MacKenzie in the 18th century, is only left alone, miserable, vulnerable, and destroyed.

The beautiful red-head daughter of Claire and Jamie Fraser, whose brave heart is paralleled to her mother's, finds herself lost and exposed as Roger MacKenzie marries her, beds her, leaves her, only to be raped by the villain Stephen Bonnet.
