\u201cShe is \u2018Deadeye.\u2019 She would be a great help at the front,\u201d Sophie Skelton<\/a> told TV Insider about the possibility of her Outlander<\/em><\/a> character, an expert shot, joining dad Jamie (Sam Heughan<\/a>) at the looming Battle of Kings Mountain. \u201cThat would be very Brianna. One of the hardest things for Bree is to stay at home. We saw that in Episode 5 and 6. She\u2019s also wise enough to know that being there for her children is the smarter thing. Between her and Roger \u2014 they can\u2019t both go.\u201d<\/p>\n Phew. That\u2019s one<\/em> less thing to worry about for the Fraser fam, whose latest tragedy was losing Fergus<\/a> (C\u00e9sar Domboy<\/a>) in last week\u2019s heartbreaker, as the time-travel romance speeds towards the series finale on May 15. Warning: Spoilers for\u00a0Outlander<\/em> Season 8 Episode 8 ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n We spoke with Skelton about the developments in the eighth episode, including William (Charles Vandervaart<\/a>) finally forgiving Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Captain Richardson (Ben Lambert<\/a>) clocking Lord John Grey (David Berry<\/a>) over the head. The actor also discussed her competition with Heughan, how \u201cgutted\u201d she is about the deletion of an intense scene from this season\u2019s third episode with Caitriona Balfe<\/a>, and why she\u2019s content with where the story leaves Brianna.<\/p>\n What was it like to shoot a scene in this episode where you\u2019re doing target practice with the new rifle Brianna created \u2013 all while wearing a baby bump?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sophie Skelton:<\/strong> Those baby bumps haunt me. They are quite unpleasant. There\u2019s a lot going on under them. I did love the imagery of Brianna having this new life inside of her and making rifles. It\u2019s haunting, but also empowering. I felt so proud of her. She\u2019s come so far and takes things in her stride and gets things done. I admire that.<\/p>\n Starz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Can you pour a bullet now?<\/strong><\/p>\n I can! I can also change the rifle over because originally in the scene that showed the passage of time and Brianna doing all the drawings and stuff, we were going to see her properly changing the rifle over. I can get competitive with Sam. Brianna can be competitive with Jamie. Naturally, I had to learn how to do it as quickly as possible so that I could whip him in that scene where we have the shoot off. It\u2019s the final season. I\u2019ve got to get the last win in.<\/p>\n Are you a better shot than Sam?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes. He\u2019s going to hate that, but yes.<\/p>\n How will William\u2019s reconciliation with Jamie change things for Bree?<\/strong><\/p>\n Brianna has always wanted a big family. She\u2019s had a lonely life \u2014 spurts of family and then it\u2019s torn away. This is a dream come true. She sees herself in William. He\u2019s literally living out her younger mistakes in front of her. For her to be able to change how it plays out for him is like healing her younger self. The relationship is one of my favorite parts of Season 8. I love working with Charles. I think that shows on screen. We\u2019ve not really had that kind of relationship of siblings on Outlander<\/em> before.<\/p>\n When the two of you have downtime on set, is there something special about that offscreen relationship, too?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll definitely be giving Charles advice about women. It was so sweet because when we were filming that scene on the balcony and he\u2019s talking about Amaranthus [Carla Woodcock<\/a>], we literally between takes were talking about a girl Charles was dating and I was like, \u201cThis is so cute. I\u2019m actually just your big sister.\u201d I\u2019ve never been able to be the big sister in my life. It was very sweet.<\/p>\n We only have two more episodes to go, so when will we meet Bree and Roger\u2019s baby, Davy?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s beautiful that it happens when it happens. There\u2019s new life coming in as Fergus has unfortunately left their world. But for Bree, it\u2019s always very scary to give birth at that time. It\u2019s in the forefront of her mind when she says to Roger, \u201cIf anything happens to me, promise you\u2019ll stay.\u201d Originally that was to do with her heart. In the book, she has a heart attack, and we did film that, but that storyline got cut.<\/p>\n Do you want to share anything about that omitted scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n That was one of my favorite scenes ever in Outlander<\/em>, and I\u2019m gutted. It was beautiful. The writers did a great job. It was the scene where Brianna finds out about Lord John [and Claire sleeping together] and they have that banter between Brianna and Claire. It takes a complete 180 and Brianna starts going into AFib. I fall to the floor, and Claire\u2019s trying to calm me. We have this three-page scene. Caitriona and I walked out of it feeling really good. She found me in my trailer later and was like, \u201cThat was absolutely beautiful.\u201d At this point, I\u2019m a book fan and it\u2019s hard when things have to be taken out. I feel your guys\u2019 pain as fans, but the writers have to fit in new things. Sacrifices have to be made. That was a big storyline for me, and it was a shame to lose in the last season. Hopefully they\u2019ll be able to pop it on a deleted scenes DVD.<\/p>\n Roger learned in this episode that Buck [Diarmaid Murtagh<\/a>]<\/strong>\u00a0killed Rob Cameron [Chris Fulton<\/a>] in the 1980s\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, good for Buck right?!<\/p>\n \u2026but we saw Captain Richardson come back. In the books, we know he\u2019s a time traveler. Can we expect some trouble from him?<\/strong><\/p>\n
