*Warning - This article contains major spoilers for Outlander.* Speculation is rife among Outlander enthusiasts ahead of the release of season 7, part 2, with one fan suggesting a theory about Roger Wakefield's character, played by Richard Rankin, and his "prayer" after encountering the nefarious Jonathan 'Black Jack' Randall, portrayed by Tobias Menzies. The chatter comes as fans eagerly await the latest instalment of the historical fantasy epic, which is slated to return this Autumn on Starz .
On Reddit , user @Dinna-_-Fash sparked discussion: "Have you had some thoughts about that encounter between Roger and BJR back in 1739? When he went looking for Jemmy far back?" The user continued their analysis, musing over the narrative importance, as they said: "This whole praying thing with him is like a thorn in my brain that can't shake off! He knew, he could not dare change the past to avoid all the horrible things BJR will do to his love ones, because of the chain reaction it may cause." Delving deeper into Diana Gabaldon's clever storytelling, the fan conjectured: "BUT wonder if it has to do with that game DG has with us and Jamie not remembering exactly if he killed BJR or not." They also dropped hints about possible twists from the books, writing: "Slowly bits have been revealed to us in the last book, and Jamie has been trying hard to remember all the details about Murtagh's and BJR death.
. What IF at the end, was BJR that saved Jamie's life by falling over him?? "That way.
