As Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) geared up for the historical Battle of Prestonpans knowing that they would succeed, the Highlanders still ended up suffering a major loss in spite of their win.
Fan-favorite character Angus (Stephen Walters), injured the battle, ended up dying from internal bleeding that had gone unnoticed while he sat by his best friend Rupert’s (Grant O’Rourke) bedside as he healed from his injuries.
“There’s a line in next week’s episode, I think Murtagh [Duncan Lacroix] says it or Jamie says it. ‘I never realized that victory would taste so bitter,’ or something to that effect,” Balfe told The Hollywood Reporter at the unveiling of the Paley Center for Media’s “The Artistry of Outlander” exhibit. “That’s the thing, yes they may have won this battle and yes they can see that it’s installed some kind of hope in their men and it’s rallied them. But they’ve lost some friends and Claire knows that it’s highly likely that they’re doomed.”
