What’s in the box in Outlander season 7 episode 3?
The box Brianna and Roger receive is filled with letters from Claire and Jamie Fraser, telling them about their lives in the past. It’s their way of sharing their story with the children they can no longer see.
They open the box to see what looks like hundreds of letters, which presumably were written over a number of years like diary entries. The first letter they pick up is addressed to Brianna, and as the couple read from it, we hear Jamie’s voice recounting what’s happening in the past.
It’s a beautiful scene and a way for Brianna to stay connected to her parents as we watch the action unfold in the past. Really, this kind of stuff is what the series is about, as we explore in our Outlander season 7 review and Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin interview.
