About halfway Outlander Season 7 Episode 10 “Brotherly Love” Arch Bug catches Rachel while she is looking for Rollo in the Philadelphia stables. He explains to her that he plans to kill her in front of Young Ian because Ian killed his wife. Rachel refuses to believe it, but it happened. (Although Young Ian hoped to kill Arch Bug instead.)

Young Ian soon arrives at the stables, having been tipped off to her location by Rachel’s brother Denzel (Joey Phillips), to find Arch Bug holding his lover hostage with an ax ready to strike. Interestingly, the first thing Rachel does is beg Ian No kill Arch. As a Quaker, she does not believe in violence.

“It was interesting to film because obviously Rachel is a pacifist, so when she encounters violence, she doesn’t react the way a normal person would fight back.” Outlander star Izzy Meikle-Small told Decider. “Even just blocking, like finding a way to make it feel like it’s scary and life-threatening, but also that Rachel isn’t fighting back.”

“And Hugh, who plays Arch Bug, is such a sweet person. Therefore, it was difficult to find him a threat. “He’s just so sweet,” she added.

Ian manages to snatch Rachel from the old man’s hands, but Arch hits him in the arm with an ax. As Young Ian continues to fight Arch Bug, Rachel continues to beg him not to harm his attacker. Arch soon gains the upper hand. He puts the ax away, about to strike, when a shot rings out. William Ransom (Charles Vanderwart) arrived just in time to save the day.

The decider asked Outlander star John Bell, if any part of Ian was jealous that William was the one who managed to kill Arch Bug after everything he did to Rachel.

“I think Ian is just glad Rachel is safe. Honestly, it was a little touching and going there for a second. So I think he’s just relieved and happy that she’s safe and in his arms again,” Bell said. “So all I can say is thank God William was there.”

“It’s not the most romantic reunion, but I think it’s very dramatic, very scary, very Outlander moment”.

Meanwhile, Meikle-Small and Bell’s colleague Charles Vanderwart ironically found the situation quite funny.

“I do think it’s kind of funny that William pines for this girl who is so anti-violence, and young Ian is trying to make an effort not to be a violent person, and William doesn’t care at all,” Vanderwart said. , laughing. “He just walks in, guns blazing. He was like, “Yeah, I’m going to kill this guy.”

“I mean, perhaps it shows that they may not be right for each other, Miss Rachel Hunter and William Ransom.”

Bell said: “I really think there’s a beautiful moment between Ian and William where there’s almost a sort of forgiveness between them for their misunderstanding.”

After all, the two cousins ​​- although William doesn’t know that he and Young Ian are secret cousins ​​- have been head over heels in love with Rachel from the moment they met her. William is only sad that Rachel seems to prefer Young Ian.

“It’s not the most romantic reunion, but I think it’s very dramatic, very scary, very Outlander moment,” Meikle-Small said, summing up the whole scene.
