'Outlander' season 4 episode 11 review: 'If Not For Hope' was the silver lining we were waiting for, but with a catch

Sunday's episode of 'Outlander', 'If Not For Hope', gave us the much needed silver-lining but also gave us so many more things to worry about, especially Roger's fate
PUBLISHED JAN 14, 2019

After a series of difficult episodes, 'If Not For Hope' gave us the much-needed sigh of relief!

The first news that needs to be immediately announced is perhaps what is shown in the last scene of the episode — Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin) is still in the 17th Century! He did not time travel back to the 1970s and decided to stay back for love and for Brianna Randall Fraser (Sophie Skelton). This may have been a foolish call since he is beaten black and blue again, this time by a group of Mohawks, after being made to walk for two months!

Roger's fate in the 18th Century has been extremely rough, so the fact that he decided to stay back despite getting an easy way out only proves that he is more of a man than we have given him credit for.
