'Outlander' season 4 finale review: An unnecessary fairytale ending and a triumphant 'Man of Worth'

'Outlander' neatly tied the storyline of Roger's reunion with Brianna, but that would not have been necessary, while it is still a mystery if Bonnet escaped from the explosion
PUBLISHED JAN 28, 2019

SPOILER ALERT

Brianna Randall Fraser and Roger MacKenzie reunite in the season finale titled 'Man of Worth' but the real revelation is that Roger isn't a man of worth, nor is Jamie Fraser. It is in fact, Young Ian, who proves his worth not only with his heartbreaking selfless sacrifice but also by triumphing over the odds and carving his own significance in the heart of New York City's Shadow Lake.

The finale wastes no time in finding Roger. The Frasers reach the Mohawk village and cite they have come there to "trade", immediately exhibiting the utensils and goods they had carried all the way from North Carolina.
