"What's that person's deal, again?"

I could make a drinking game out of how many times my husband has asked me that question in the past few weeks while watching Outlander. To start its sophomore season, the Starz period drama jolted us from its Scotland setting to Paris, introducing us to enough sneering men with ponytails and corseted debutantes to fill Versailles (which is exactly where protagonists Claire and Jamie Fraser have been hanging out).

At times, it can be hard to keep some of the show's fresh faces straight—but never Mary Hawkins, the naive teenager who's all birdlike frame, Disney-cartoon eyes, scruples, and earnestness. You couldn't possibly mistake her heartbreakingly innocent character for anyone else, the lone fragile bird in the snake pit of the French court.

"Mary always needs saving!" Rosie Day, the 21-year-old Brit who plays her, says, laughing. In real life, Rosie laughs big, speaks quickly, and is "nothing like" her demure, stammering character. We caught up with Day after her biggest episode yet—the one with her rape scene—to see how she's handling her new level of fame and what we can expect for the rest of season 2 of Outlander. Here, 4 things we learned (spoilers ahead!):

1. We're going back to Scotland

From this week's episode onwards, Scotland is back in the picture— which should come as a relief to viewers who love these new French court personalities but also miss the familiar kilt-clad characters of the Highlands. Think of the rest of the season as Paris meets Scotland: What could be better?

2. In Scotland, we'll meet a very different Mary

Later this season, Mary "comes back," Rosie confirms (though viewers who also read the Outlander books would know this). "She needs saving again—cause she always does!—but then she kind of gets her own back," Rosie says of Mary.

"She grows up a lot. A lot a lot. Her friendship with Claire is tested, which is really funny to play because you kind of go from playing [Mary] where she's completely dependent on Claire and then you suddenly play her when she's more grown-up and doesn't need [Claire] and is kind of hurt by some of Claire's actions." It's a sharp contrast, but for Rosie, "kind of getting to play two different sides of her was really fun." As for us, we can't wait to see the new, emboldened Mary Hawkins.

3. But Rosie herself won't be watching

"I haven't even seen it!" Rosie says about her recent episode that got everybody talking. Or any of her episodes, for that matter. "I've watched the first episode of this season, which I'm not in, and I think it's brilliant," she laughs, "but I'm not very good at watching myself!"

4. She will be reading your tweets, though

"When the episode [with Mary's rape] went out a lot of people were tweeting me, basically about how well they thought the show portrayed such a delicate subject matter. People who have been in similar situations [to Mary] and watched it found it very respectful, and that's really nice to hear. And I think just the way the show handled [sexual assault] in general was great."

Rosie's referring to the way they didn't just show the sexually violent scene and then afterwards return to the victim's storyline and pretend like everything's normal again, but instead address the aftermath and shame. "I think it opens up a dialogue about shows that maybe don't necessarily have that kind of responsibility," Rosie says. "What you're showing on screen in seen by millions of people sometimes, and it affects quite a lot of people."

Tweet Rosie at @rosiedaydream to share your thoughts, and watch this week's episode on Starz on Saturday at 9 PM EST.
