Executive producer and writer Toni Graphia took over the Sony Twitter account to answer fans’ questions about Outlander, and most of the questions were about “Down the Rabbit Hole.” Matthew B. Roberts was also supposed to be taking part in this Q & A, but he was not able to “tweet in.”
Don't forget: today at 1pm ET we hand over our account to #Outlander executive producers @TheMattBRoberts & #ToniGraphia to answer all of your Season 4 questions. Tag questions with #AskMattandToni now. pic.twitter.com/nunu2o4Nxb

Hi everyone! Toni here. Matt isn't able to make it and sends his best. He's hard at work on Season 5! But I'll be here answering your questions. Let's get started! #AskMattandToni #Outlander

Bonnet stole Claire's ring in episode 401, and these are precisely the type of details that @OutlanderCostum is great at including. It's awesome that the audience has noticed the ring, which Bonnet wears as a trophy.

We love J&C, but we believe that even if they are not on screen, it doesn't mean they aren't a part of the episode. This is their daughter, who is searching for them to save their lives. Any story about their family is also about them. https://t.co/634xy7hSdZ

We don't think Roger even needed to reach a decision — He loves her deeply, and his first instinct was to follow and help to protect the woman that he feels is his soul mate. https://t.co/VFpxVivlL4

It was a way to dramatize the feeling that when you love someone that deeply, they are always with you. https://t.co/x154JOrsWO

Of course, we always try to find someone who looks as the book describes, but with Lizzie, as with other characters in the series, we ultimately must choose the best actor. We feel Caitlin embodies the spirit of the character, and she's doing a terrific job! https://t.co/dEqkciPMKu

Some shows assign episodes in order of the writers' hierarchy. However, Matt and I chose, for the most part, to have writers tackle the episodes they felt most passionate about. Usually, this makes for the best episodes! https://t.co/dprMgEcYGN

No worries! Sophie's ankle is just fine. We wanted to give Brianna obstacles along her journey, and needed something that had to heal in order to delay her enough to spend a bit of time in Scotland before boarding the ship. https://t.co/QuA3bs9wMa

The scene with Roger and Bree bumping heads at the Scottish festival was only cut for time, but it will be included in the deleted scenes! https://t.co/tmIRrRWgSO

Bonnet's an Irishman. 😀🍀 https://t.co/ABAmZgPFr7

The dock scene was meant as a poignant moment to show that the love and memory of the father who raised Brianna will always be with her, and that Frank is supportive of her journey to find Jamie. https://t.co/wDJYUvTTLv

Danu is a goddess in Irish mythology who Bonnet thinks is responsible for his luck… or lack thereof. 😉 https://t.co/yV9Pv97sIa

Yes, we did think about that, and we loved the contrast between Claire's sweltering jungle trek and Brianna's journey through the rugged and icy Highlands. https://t.co/drsjYB0la5

As passionate fans of the books ourselves, the goal of all of the writers is always to connect with the heart of Outlander, because our hearts are there too. 💚 https://t.co/JRgiyt4kRD

Season 5 will be 12 episodes, and we're hard at work on them right now and very excited about next season! https://t.co/uZYVo6gJxY

No disrespect to the fans at all. We love you guys! Some questions require a longer answer than allowed by Twitter. Some are answered in our podcasts, which you can find here: https://t.co/0OCg1e9a22. And some of your questions will be answered as the season unfolds. https://t.co/SJsFbPhBve

That's all the time we have for today — back to the writers' room! Thank you all for your questions. Until next time! #AskMattandToni
