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

As a seasoned Outlander fan who has journeyed through the Scottish Highlands and American colonies alongside Claire and Jamie, I am beyond thrilled to delve deeper into the enigmatic character of William Ransom in Season 7B. The intricate web of secrets and familial bonds that bind our favorite time-traveling couple will undoubtedly captivate us once more.


It’s highly likely that Charles Vandervaart will make a significant appearance as William Ransom in the second half of Outlander Season 7, as suggested by the promotional images we’ve seen. So, what might his role entail? Let’s wait and see!

As a fictional character named William Ransom, I’m oblivious to the fact that the enigmatic Jamie Fraser is my biological father. Will I uncover this shocking truth? Let’s delve into the intricate storylines of the Outlander series to find out. And yes, beware of potential book spoilers in this discussion!

William calls Claire “Mother Claire” in the Outlander books

Upon returning to America, Claire Fraser finds herself marrying Lord John Grey out of necessity, as she believes that Jamie has perished at sea. This union makes Claire a stepmother to young William, which seems ironic given their relationship through Jamie. However, William grows to accept and even call her “Mother Claire.

It’s quite likely that this event will unfold. There are signs pointing towards Claire and John getting married, and given that William already holds Claire Fraser in high regard, he’ll undoubtedly continue to address her as “Mother Claire” and demonstrate his respect for her. I can’t wait to witness it unfolding.

William is sure to find out the truth about Jamie in Outlander Season 7B

In “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood,” it is revealed that William discovers Jamie as his biological father. The consequences of this revelation unfold throughout the book, continuing into “Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone.” William uncovers this truth when Jamie returns from Scotland, and he notices their striking resemblance. It doesn’t require advanced knowledge to deduce that they are a father and son pair.

It’s understandable that William might suspect Jamie of raping his mother, given Jamie’s background as a Jacobite and Geneva’s status in the household. However, it’s worth noting that William isn’t well-acquainted with Jamie, so this fear may not be entirely justified. Upon learning that Jamie wasn’t conceived through rape, William feels a sense of relief. This suspicion was likely a common concern for men of that time, especially given the circumstances.

Instead, we could rephrase it as: William embarks on a personal quest to discover his identity and decide whether he wishes to continue being an Earl. Eventually, he decides to relinquish his military post from the British Army, although it appears this decision may not have been permanent.

William ends up with a mission to follow through with in Written in My Own Heart’s Blood

It turns out that William needs to handle a sudden issue arising. In the meantime, he’s not communicating with either Jamie or John. However, through Captain Richardson, it seems that his relative, Benjamin, has tragically lost his life in combat. This is the understanding, at least.

There are rumors that Ben has a spouse and child. Consequently, William embarks on a quest to locate this enigmatic relative. In the upcoming season 8 of Outlander, it is confirmed that Amaranthus Grey will make an appearance. Although she appears at the close of book 8, the narrative could be conveniently moved to Season 8, with the storyline from Book 9 taking center stage.

It’s clear that William is deeply invested in understanding his own identity, particularly as the plot revolves around Jamie as the central character in Outlander Season 7B. He richly deserves the limelight to portray this journey and all the emotions it entails.

Outlander Season 7B premieres on Friday. Nov. 22 on Starz.
