“I think it is interesting he knows the Browns are in town, and he doesn’t deal with it straight away,” Heughan says. “He’s very calculated. He’s very cold in his vengeance. But I think that is what has always been cool about Jamie. He knows how to wield his violence and it is great to be reminded of that. It is a satisfactory ending, I think, for Jamie to get rid of the Browns.”

The episode is bookended with intense scenes featuring Brown, having also opened with Jamie’s vision of a future that, thankfully, never comes to pass. It shows Claire tearfully stepping up onto the gallows in Wilmington, looking out on Brown and an audience watching her be pushed to her death.

It is a call back to the first moments of Season 4, when Claire and Jamie watched their friend Gavin be hanged by the same noose in the streets of Wilmington. Balfe says shooting such a scene is never pleasant, but it is a surreal reality of the series.

“It’s never very fun to have a noose put around your neck,” she says. “In some ways, it’s interesting in how they film it and how the stunt guys set up the shot and how it will all happen.
