Do not read if you have not yet watched “Mercy Shall Follow Me,” the 10th episode of “Viewers who are familiar with Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” book series were in for quite a surprise in the most recent episode, “Mercy Shall Follow Me,” because the action jumped ahead to the sixth novel and wrapped up a storyline that has been on-going for two seasons.

“She wakes up and it’s the panic of ‘I’m trapped here with this monster, is my mother alive?’ and then initially Jemmy was actually in the beach scene with us. Jemmy and Lizzie were supposed to be at the beach with Claire and Brianna and that actually got taken out of the script, so at least Brianna knows that Jemmy is somewhat safe at that moment when she wakes up,” says Skelton. “But she’s afraid history is going to repeat itself.

This made it all the more terrifying for Brianna because she had to play along with his game to buy herself time to escape. “When she says ‘I couldn’t think less of you,’ he sees it as a compliment. So she is trying to get on his good side and have these brave moments, and I wanted to phrase them in a way where the audience doesn’t miss it, but Bonnet does,” Skelton says. “It’s a fine line to tread. It’s these tiny speckles of bravery, but they have to be masked because if she pushes too hard, the whole situation could change, and right now she just needs to play his game and figure out a way to escape.

Despite the small amount of pity Brianna may have felt for Bonnet, he eventually tried to kiss her and she couldn’t mask her revulsion, which blew up the entire charade. Bonnet then tried to sell Brianna to another man, but by then, Jamie , Roger and Claire managed to arrive and save Brianna from her new captor. Brianna demanded that Bonnet be tried in a court of law, and he was sentenced to death by drowning, which meant he was tied to a pole in the water as the tide came in.

But, Skelton also admits that part of her also thinks Brianna “just wants to make sure that the slippery snake does die and doesn’t find a way to escape again. Bonnet has a good way of getting out of trouble and out of death.”
