'Outlander' season 4 episode 8 review: It is almost impossible to get over Brianna's harrowing sexual assault

Though the dreaded rape-scene took place off camera, Sophie Skelton's performance, as well as the indifference of people when Brianna was getting raped, continue to haunt fans
PUBLISHED DEC 27, 2018

On December 23, prior to the screening of 'Outlander' episode 8, a warning was issued noting that the content portrays sexual violence. The book's readers knew exactly what was coming, but for those oblivious, there was much-unanticipated agony. Brianna Randall, the daughter of Jamie and Claire Fraser, whose mettle spirit has been a powerful force in the season, not only dwindled in pain but was a victim to one of the most frightening rape scenes of the series. Even though the disturbing scene happened off the camera, it wasn't any less heartbreaking and harrowing.

At first, it was all happiness for the red-head lass, who reunited with her 20th-century ex-lover, Roger MacKenzie, in Wilmington. She was swept off her feet because he traveled through time to be with her.
