Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe on revealing that big secret and the "friction" coming up in Outlander season 7

As a seasoned Outlander fan with years of time-traveling adventures under my belt, I must say that the return of our beloved show was nothing short of spectacular! The emotional rollercoaster that was episode 9 had me reminiscing about my own Scottish escapades and longing for a wee dram.


At long last, here comes the moment we’ve all been eagerly anticipating, Outlander fans! Our beloved series is back, and this time, it kicked off with an exceptionally powerful episode filled with intense emotional moments, as we revisit Lallybroch. The beginning of season 7 part 2 has undoubtedly brought a wave of feelings our way. Additionally, some secrets were unveiled concerning Claire that left us intrigued.

After years and years away, Jamie and Claire finally make it back to Scotland. And I have to tell you guys, it felt so good as a viewer too. We’ve all fallen in love with Scotland and it was so nice to be back. And the actors definitely feel the same way.

Balfe expressed that Lallybroch has been such an essential part of our series, deeply woven into our storytelling, and returning to that location held a unique significance. Heughan agreed, stating it’s one of their favorite places to film among many. For Jamie, Lallybroch is a crucial aspect of his character. He’s longed to return, yet his new life in America calls him. However, visiting family, Jenny and Ian, was essential. Yet, they discover that things aren’t as they expected. It’s surprising for Jamie, as there are many memories, relationships, and loose ends to address, allowing him to find peace and move forward.

Among the relationships he discussed, there appears to be some resolution for Laoghaire, as she seems to have found a measure of happiness. It’s fortunate that Jamie has relinquished the property where she resides and given it to her, effectively distancing himself from the situation. This way, Claire and Jamie can move on from Laoghaire permanently. May Joanie, who wishes to become a nun, find lasting happiness in her chosen path; she truly deserves it.

Absolutely, a significant aspect of the episode revolves around Claire and Jamie choosing to disclose to the Murrays that Claire is indeed a time-traveler – a secret we never imagined would come to light. However, I believe it was a wise decision on their part, a sentiment shared by Balfe as well.

From my perspective, whenever there are hidden matters among individuals, it seems to hinder their ability to truly bond. In the case of Claire and Jenny, I believe this secretive aspect significantly altered the course of their friendship and connection, allowing them to grow even closer now.

In the seventh season of “Outlander,” episode 9 has seen quite a lot unfold. Given the series’ rapid and dynamic narrative, it’s always challenging to predict which episodes might evoke strong emotions. However, Caitriona Balfe hints that we should brace ourselves emotionally for an upcoming episode.

[Season 7] episode 11 is incredibly wild and intense, I believe viewers will find it quite shocking,” said Balfe. “I also think episodes 15 and 16 are fantastic, and they’re going to be just as intense. So, Outlander fans, have your tissues ready!

During discussions about season 7B of the popular series, Outlander, the actors have hinted at an upcoming separation for the main couple. It appears that this split could occur in the next episode based on events shown in episode 9 where Claire receives a letter from Lord John, urging her to return to America due to his nephew’s need for her medical skills. We always fear these separations since they typically lead to unfavorable outcomes when the couple is apart.

Balfe stated, “In my opinion, when we observe them, particularly in 7B, the divide that occurs suggests they can manage independently for a while. However, when they reconnect, there is quite a bit of tension or conflict, if I may put it that way.

Heughan said, “They may continue to disagree, but it doesn’t necessarily signal the demise of their relationship. When Jamie is apart and then comes back, oh yes, that’s a truly intense moment for them. Something they must address together.

As I dive back into my gaming world, it looks like Claire and someone near and dear to Jamie are finding themselves in a sticky, tangled predicament while they’re apart. It’s going to take some serious problem-solving on their part to sort this out.

In response to some early drafts of the scripts, Balfe expressed her protective feelings towards Claire, stating, “I feel very defensive of Claire and I was like, well why would she – come on people. No, this is Claire. She wouldn’t do that.” However, through collaboration with the writers, they were able to arrive at a satisfying portrayal of this storyline from the books. It was indeed challenging for them to grasp this particular narrative direction.

Sam Heughan remarked, “These characters can take you by surprise at times. And Jamie’s actions surprised me too. I must admit, I didn’t anticipate him being so brutally violent. I thought he would show more understanding in certain aspects. However, he is a complex character and, despite his forward-thinking and intelligence, he has human flaws. Yes, I believe the audience will be quite taken aback by this.

Here you go, Outlander enthusiasts! A few tantalizing glimpses into what lies ahead. And oh boy, it promises to be quite intense, no doubt about that! However, as Balfe and Heughan hinted, there’s nothing imminently threatening to split this unyielding duo at present. Yes, they might encounter some turbulence, as in any relationship. But rest assured, they’ll find a way to navigate through it all.
