After what everyone knew, or at least hoped, wasn't a final goodbye from Lord John Grey in season five of Outlander – the worst kept secret of this latest season was finally revealed.
That's right, David Berry made his return to the show in episode 5, “Give Me Liberty”, with Lord John hoping to sway Jamie into staying loyal to the crown.
The fan favourite stole the show as Jamie revealed that he planned to join the Colonials and their struggle for independence.
Actor David Berry spoke to both the Dipp and Entertainment Weekly about his return.
In an interview with the dipp, he admitted that John will return in season seven as, in his own words, there needs to be a "reconciliation" as their friendship has been "damaged."
Sadly though, this also means he might not reappear in season six, as you'd expect with only three episodes left.
He said: "The way I played it, the way I related to it, it's as if you're with someone – a partner, romantic partner, or anyone — and they cheat on you and that is a line in the sand.
"Depending on how much you love that person, can you forgive them? Can you move forward in the relationship?"
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he was asked about a possible spinoff with Lord John, something we've discussed before due to the character having his own spinoff books written by Diana Gabaldon.
And of course, he's keeping things close to his chest with a suitably cryptic response.
"I can't comment."
Well, we'll have to wait and see more of him in season seven and hope that the spinoff becomes a reality regardless.
Previously the actor told Digital Spy, that he would love to carry the character forward, either in the main show or as part of a spin-off.
He said: "Yeah, I'd jump at the chance to play the character again in the right series.
"The source material is really strong. Diana has written a wonderful character and a wonderful series of books, and I really enjoyed playing him."
