While most of the focus of episode nine of Outlander was on Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan), who was bitten by a snake and left fighting for his life, Brianna (Sophie Skelton) also ended up in trouble. The men of Fraser’s Ridge headed out to hunt and find meat for the winter. They spotted a herd of buffalo but due to Jamie’s snake bite, the group missed their chance to shoot one down.
Roger (Richard Rankin) rushed Jamie back to the Ridge so that Claire (Caitriona Balfe) could treat him.
However, that was just one of Claire’s worries as she had to save her daughter Brianna from a buffalo attack.
As Lizzie Wemyss (Caitlin O’Ryan) watched over baby Jemmy, a buffalo made its way onto the Ridge.
She screamed out, which left Brianna in shock as she rushed towards the buffalo to try and convince it to chase her.

Outlander: Who was Young Ian’s wife? Why did he leave her?
Fortunately, her plan worked and the buffalo began to run after her.
Claire, who heard the screaming and shouting, rushed to grab a gun to help save her daughter.
She shot the beast but only after it had caught up to Brianna and flipped her up into the air.
Despite the fact Brianna was probably incredibly hurt, she quickly got up and raced over to Jemmy to make sure he was okay.
Brianna picked up her son to ensure he was okay and the attack was never mentioned again.
Outlander fans were left baffled by the plot hole as they questioned why no one checked to see if Brianna was okay.
Taking to Reddit to discuss the episode, one fan remarked: “Bree is completely indestructible. She got right back up after being ragdolled by the charging bison.”
Another added: “The buffalo attack was so shocking but then when they didn’t address Bree getting flipped like a pancake that was even more shocking lol… um girl are you ok??

“They must’ve cut a scene here right? I’m surprised we didn’t get Roger being told what happened or even Claire checking her for broken ribs.
“I loved that Bree literally saved Jemmy’s and Jamie’s life in one episode – they gave her a lot to do this week and it was awesome.”
Another replied, commenting: “I know, she just got up and was totally OK.
“She would have been running on adrenaline to get to Jemmy, so I guess I can accept that.
