The book laid out this episodic story of Jamie, it began with five chapters of his life from the Battle of Culloden to Lallybroch, to prison and Hellwater and ends up in the print shop. So as we approached this season structurally, we laid out the cards on the board and it was clear, that's five episodes right there.
The reunion of the two is something that fans have been looking forward to the most in "Outlander" season 3 and it is this week that they will likely get to see it unfold.
The promo for episode 5 shows Brianna (Sophie Skelton), despite struggling to wrap her head around the truth about her parentage, lets her mother go to be with the love of her life.
Claire is understandably unsure what Jamie feels about her now, but if her own daughter tells her that she will just have to count on the love they shared.
You told me what you felt for Jamie was the most powerful thing you ever felt in your life. You have to trust it is the same for him.
Those who read the "Outlander" books by Diana Gabaldon are hoping to see that the reunion in the third installment "Voyager" will be translated beautifully and to the letter in the show.
Moore and his team have been saying time and again that the novels are their bible in creating the show and have been working on giving the iconic scene justice. Fans will get to see all their hard work this week.
The synopsis for "Outlander" season 3, episode 5 reads:
Brianna grapples with life-changing revelations and Claire must help her come to terms with the fact that she is her father's daughter; Roger brings news that forces Claire and Brianna to face an impossible choice.
