While Outlander mixes time travel with historical fiction, the show has always made clever use of Scottish and American history to elevate its narrative. Now into its seventh season, the Starz series is also going back to some of its older storylines to add new layers to its plot.
The third episode of Outlander season 7 piggybacks on something that was featured in the second season of the series: the lost gold that was sent by the French to assist the Jacobite rebellion. In "Death Be Not Proud", Jamie (Sam Heughan) confronts Arch Bug (Hugh Ross) about a gold bar that was found in the Bugs’ possessions and that appears to be part of that lost treasure.
