As a devoted Outlander fan, I’ve journeyed through time and space with Jamie and Claire more times than I can count. The return of Laoghaire in Season 7 was like a long-lost friend showing up at my doorstep, albeit one I’d rather not invite over for tea.
It wasn’t much of a shock to see Laoghaire appear in the images for Outlander Season 7B, since we already knew she would be returning to the series.
There are numerous speculations among those who haven’t read the books about what might transpire next. The advantage of this series is that it has a written source. Although some details may have changed, the main outline of the story remains intact. We can expect Laoghaire’s plotline to closely follow its depiction in “An Echo in the Bone“.
That does mean we’re heading into spoilers from the book. What can we expect for Laoghaire?
Laoghaire has a secret love interest in Outlander
Although Laoghaire continues to feign an interest in Jamie’s wealth, there’s something she’s concealing. Should this hidden truth surface, it might cause complications for her.
It appears that she harbors feelings for someone named Joey, who happens to be a servant. Should their relationship become formal, it could pose financial challenges since, as a servant, Joey doesn’t earn a substantial income.
In my perspective, I’ve grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle from yesteryears, making the money Jamie sends crucial for me. This money, which came about due to Jamie’s bigamy when he married me and Claire returned, is a financial strain for us, but it seems like Laoghaire isn’t concerned about that predicament.
Claire blackmails Laoghaire to marry Joey in Outlander
It’s Joanie who steps in to help Claire and Jamie. If Laoghaire were to marry Joe, it would open up the opportunity for Joanie to pursue her chosen path. She aspires to become a nun, so she confides in Jamie about her plans and discusses how she can utilize her dowry funds to achieve this goal.
Simultaneously, Marsali informs Laoghaire that Henri-Christian requires assistance due to swollen tonsils posing a threat to his life. Moved by this news, Laoghaire implores Claire to return to America to save her grandson. Unbeknownst to Laoghaire, Claire would have acted regardless, but this serves as an opportunity for her. If Laoghaire agrees to marry Joey and halt Jamie’s contractual payments, Claire will go back and assist Henri-Christian.
Once it functions, Jamie is freed from all obligations Laoghaire has imposed on him. Joan is now free to pursue her interests and beliefs simultaneously.
Outlander Season 7B premieres on Friday, Nov. 22 on Starz.
