Season 7 episode 13
I just watched this episode and I am completely mind fucked.
SPOILERS!! For anyone who hasn’t watched it
Jeremiah Buccleigh Mackenzie (cousin Buck) and Roger accidentally travel back to 1739 and Roger gets to meet his dad and then Cousin Buck also gets to meet his parents before he’s even conceived!?
Which I understand that Roger didn’t want to upset the timeline but why didn’t he tell Geillis after he realized that she’s got nothing to do with Rob Cameron kidnapping Jem that he’s also from the future? (And that he’s her and Dougals 7 or 8 time grandchild). Well never mind don’t answer that cuz or maybe do idk.
Also why didn’t he tell Jerry (his dad) that he’s his son? Jerry went missing after Roger was conceived/ born? Right? So it wouldn’t upset the timeline I don’t think.
I don’t know maybe someone can just explain this episode to me better? Also for more context, no I haven’t read the books and maybe that would help. But im confused but I’m also not confused. Because like in the 1900’s Roger knows that his father’s disappearance was strange in that he did just disappear even though his mother told him that he was shot down over sea and his body wasn’t found but didn’t that turn out to be a lie? And if the time traveling gene is hereditary then wouldn’t that mean that Claire has an ancestor who can travel? Could her parents travel? Was she just randomly chosen for this ability?
