Outlander Season 7 Episode 11 “A Hundredweight of Stones” finally brings Brianna Randall Fraser MacKenzie (Sophie Skelton) into the fray. Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) has been largely sitting on the narrative sidelines of the Starz series in Season 7 Part 2, but now she’s right on the front lines of the fight to save Jemmy (Blake Johnston Miller) from Rob Cameron (Chris Fulton)…
**Spoilers for Outlander Season 7 Episode 11 “A Hundredweight of Stones,” now streaming on Starz**
Outlander Season 7 Episode 11 “A Hundredweight of Stones” reveals that the villainous Rob Cameron only pretended to take Jemmy through the Stones. That’s why Roger (Richard Rankin) and Buck MacKenzie (Diarmaid Murtagh) can’t seem to find any sign of Rob or Jemmy in 1739. In reality, Rob and Jemmy are still in the 1980s. Rob planted Jemmy’s scarf to lure Roger and Buck away from Lallybroch so they couldn’t interfere with his plans.
Rob has arrived alone at Lallybroch to threaten Brianna that she won’t be reunited with her son unless she convinces the boy to reveal where Jamie hid the stolen Jacobite gold in the past. Rob Cameron even holds Brianna at knifepoint, but eventually she smacks him over the head with a cast iron enameled pot.
According to Outlander star Sophie Skelton, this is Brianna “in her element.”
“I think Brianna has kind of just relied on herself for a very long time,” Skelton said, noting that by having a working mother like Claire, Bree was “was very much on her own from an early age.”
“So she’s pretty used to just having the first and last line of defense.”
In a funny twist, Decider remembered that when we spoke to Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin about the Lallybroch renovations last summer, the actors pointed out their characters had invested a lot of money in their cookware. “A lot of our cookware is Le Creuset,” Rankin said, “and I’m like, they can’t be struggling for money that much.”
The pot that Brianna turns into a weapon to fight Rob Cameron appears, in fact, to be one of those fancy French pieces.
“Of all the props in Outlander, that was the hardest prop to make,” Skelton said, gushing about the show’s art department. “To make a rubber pan to look like Le Crueset, that was the hardest one.”
Skelton then took on her Outlander character to apologize to Roger for misusing the Le Crueset they’d spent so much on.
“Yeah. Roger, I’m sorry, honey. I broke the pot,” Skelton said.
“ You broke it!?!” Rankin replied.
“It didn’t actually break. I mean, it’s pretty hearty, so.”
“Ah, that’s all right. And, I mean, don’t get me started on the Lallybroch renovations,” Rankin said, shaking his head.
“Yeah, they’re still undergoing,” Skelton said.
“So maybe I’ll get to see them completed,” he said.
“Who knows? I don’t know,” Skelton said. “What do you think?”
“ I mean, yes, maybe,” Rankin said. “Who actually knows?”
Something tells us we won’t know if the Lallybroch renovations ever are finished until the very last season of Outlander eventually airs.
