What to expect for Rachel Hunter in Outlander Season 7B based on the books

As a gamer with a penchant for historical fiction and a soft spot for the “Outlander” series, I can confidently say that the upcoming Season 7B is shaping up to be quite the rollercoaster ride. The cliffhanger at the end of Season 7A left me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would become of our beloved character, Rachel Hunter.


At the close of Outlander’s seventh season’s first part, Young Ian embarked on a journey back to Scotland. Prior to his departure, he expressed his feelings for Rachel Hunter, and he parted with her in the company of Rollo.

Fans are eager to predict what will happen in the second half of Outlander Season 7. By examining the original material, we can make an educated guess. At this stage, Rachel’s storyline seems to be drawn from the latter part of “An Echo in the Bone” and also from “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood”.

Absolutely! If you’re here with me, brace yourself for potential spoilers ahead. I can’t tell which plot threads we’ll delve into, but rest assured, some will indeed unfold.

Rachel Hunter’s life is at risk in Outlander Season 7B

One thing we can infer is that Rachel’s life might be in danger. In the finale of Season 7A of Outlander, Arch found Rachel and Rollo together. Arch’s decision to let Rollo stay with Rachel implies something significant: Young Ian appears to be developing feelings for Rachel.

It’s clear that Arch seeks retribution for his wife’s murder, not aiming directly at Young Ian. Instead, he plans to take away the person whom Young Ian cherishes, which puts Rachel in danger. We understand that Arch will likely pursue Rachel, but it’s likely this action will occur once Young Ian returns to the country.

In essence, it’s clear that Young Ian will return to America, which sets the stage for that particular narrative thread. Arch seeks vengeance, but given his pledge to change and Rachel’s preference for a peaceful man, Young Ian chooses not to engage in violence against Arch in a manner you might expect.

Don’t worry; Rachel is saved! William is the one to save the day.

Rachel and Young Ian get married in the Outlander books

As a result, Young Ian and Rachel find themselves spending increased moments together. Rachel stands by Young Ian in the face of possible losses involving Jamie and Jenny, and remains supportive when the truth about their survival comes to light.

As time passes, they grow closer and their affection intensifies, leading them to tie the knot. Their journey together is filled with joy as well as challenges, like those during the Revolutionary War, but they stand by one another throughout it all.

In addition to being there for Young Ian, Rachel becomes his support system following Rollo’s peaceful passing in old age. It remains uncertain whether this event will unfold in Outlander Season 7B or possibly Season 8. The portrayal of a dog’s death in literature can be deeply moving, yet it serves an important purpose when reflecting real-life experiences—Rollo eventually succumbs to the passage of time and comes to understand that Young Ian has found companionship with Rachel.

In the concluding part of the 8th “Outlander” novel, Rachel delivers her son with Young Ian. The child is not introduced until the 9th book. However, it’s possible that this event might occur in the eighth season instead, depending on how much storyline can be accommodated in the upcoming 8 episodes.
