This episode is also one that parted from the novel Written in My Own Heart's Blood, written by New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon, on which the story is based.
“A lot of stuff simply won't fit, and what's left often isn't in the same sequence as the original and may have lost all connections with its original context,” she tells Parade.
As a result, both Ian and Rachel’s wedding and wedding night differ from the original, so people can pick up the novels and get a different take on the story when they're done watching the series.
Gabaldon explains, “It's lacking a lot of the original dialogue, which was very frank and had a lot to do with the physical (as well as emotional) act of consummation; it's funny, tender and physical. The resulting show effect is underwhelming, because so much is left out and there's not much to replace it.

“Whereas Book Rachel is modest, but decidedly not shy or prim. She's very forthright (as most Quakers of the time tended to be—and in justice to the show, they often use book dialogue in which this shows), and speaks very frankly, without regard to anything but her own conscience. Book Rachel and Ian have a pretty forthright and enjoyable wedding night.”

Of course, Roger knows history can't be changed, and his father needs to die, or at least not to have been a part of his life, because if Roger hadn't been raised by his grandfather, he never would have met Claire and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and discovered that time travel was possible for certain people.

“Later in Season 8, you'll get Roger having a vague memory of having been caught in a man's arms, but as there's no connection to this part of the story, no one will have the faintest idea what that's about, unless they happen to have read Leaf.”
