'Outlander': Wilmington promises Roger's reunion with Brianna but maybe it's not for the best

Roger MacKenzie might have pursued Brianna and time traveled but there's no way we can trust him again.
PUBLISHED DEC 23, 2018

It's not a spoiler because the trailer, as well as the episodic stills released, makes it more than obvious that Brianna Randall and Roger MacKenzie will reunite in 'Wilmington.' There is something to rejoice about because Brianna will finally have a 20th-century partner who will help her find her mother in the 18th-century world. 

But as good a thing this may seem, let us not forget why Roger broke up with Brianna in the first place. That's because the 20th century Oxford professor has a stuck-up mentality that he can only marry a virgin. So his problem with Brianna sprouts when Brianna wants to have sex with him before putting on a ring. He immediately asks her to marry her in the episode titled 'The False Bride,' to which she says that she is not ready yet. He questions and argues why is that since she was ready to have sex with him. "You don't want to marry me, but you'll f**k me?!" he yells. "If all I wanted was to have my way with you, I would've had you on your back a dozen times last summer." Brianna thankfully slaps him and points out the sexist hypocrisy and double standard.
