'Outlander' season 4 episode 12 review: After Sophie Skelton, it is now Richard Rankin's turn to shine in his best performance ever

With only one more episode to go, 'Outlander' delivers an excellent TV spectacle making us teary-eyed this time — thanks to Richard Rankin who plays Roger MacKenzie.
UPDATED JAN 21, 2019

The penultimate episode of season four of the time-traveling series established 'Outlander' to be a show filled with star-studded cast members, and this time it was Richard Rankin who stole the spotlight.

Prior to this season, Caitriona Balfe, who plays Claire Fraser and Sam Heughan, who plays her Scottish Highlander lover delivered award-winning performances, so much so that Balfe won her fourth Golden Globes nomination in a row this year. Season 4, as our earlier article pointed out, was Sophie Skelton's to own as Brianna, after her heart-wrenching performance in episode eight titled 'Wilmington', where she prolifically played the part of a rape survivor.
