Claire chooses Frank for 20 years until his death and then she finds out Jamie survived Culloden. She heads back to the past to choose Jamie for a second time. There's no way Claire and Jamie will choose someone other than themselves after this. They are endgame, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Because yes, Claire and Lord John end up married in book seven, and yes, they drunkenly (and full of grief for the loss of Jamie, whom they both love with all of their heart) consummate that marriage. And then Jamie shows up alive and well!
She's also revealed that the story will end in Scotland, and for anyone concerned, it will have a happy ending. "Yes, the last book will have a happy ending, though I confidently expect it to leave the readers in floods of tears, anyway," she writes.
It won't arrive soon enough, however, as Claire and Jamie have become separated on the orders of the treacherous Richard Brown. Tom promises Claire her husband is safe and would be going home but he is taking Brown's word on the matter which isn't worth very much.
Wendigo dies in the fire and the house is burnt to the ground, while Jamie and Claire survive.
Thank you for subscribing! Diana Gabaldon has confirmed there is no possibility that Jamie Fraser will time-travel into the future and live out his life at Lallybroch.
Just as she begins to worry that Jamie might be capable of lying to her, Jamie quells her fear by revealing to her his indiscretion with Mary MacNab, a woman who worked at Lallybroch, while Claire was back in 1968 with Frank and Brianna. This confession soothes Claire, and the two find themselves realigned once again.
Jamie doesn't really help matters by choosing this moment to confess that he has cheated – but not with Malva. Instead, he spent one night with someone else before going to prison, long ago (and when separated from Claire by 200 years).
She, of course, chose to stay in the 18th century and explore her relationship with Jamie, and he knew that she truly wanted to be there. Likewise, Claire returns to the 1700s with the understanding that Jamie may no longer love her and is willing to share news of their daughter and head back to her own time.
Jamie marries Claire to keep her from falling into the hands of the evil Captain "Black Jack" Randall. They have one child, Faith, who doesn't survive birth; an adopted son named Fergus; and a daughter, Brianna.

When Claire returns to the past, she and Jamie reconnect and begin to live as man and wife once again. But some might be wondering what the legal implications of Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire might mean. Given he remarried after Claire, it seems possible their marriage might be void after all.
Brianna Invents a Leg-Saving Syringe.
If you're wondering whether Jamie's leg gets amputated, the answer is, thankfully, no. And it's all because Brianna ingeniously invented a syringe using a hollowed-out snake tooth.
Outlander season five trailer sees return of Claire Fraser
Throughout it all, their love has remained strong but why did Jamie marry Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson)?
Yet, even with so many people suspicious of her, there are plenty of characters who know that Claire is a time traveler. As the number of time travelers on Outlander increases, the secret understandably has become harder to keep. But the more people who know, the more Claire and her family could be in danger.
Jamie does admit he's slept with someone else, telling her about his one-night tryst with Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) before he turned himself in to authorities following the Battle of Culloden nearly 20 years prior.
Therefore, viewers wanting to reminisce on their relationship might be curious about when they first confirmed their love for one another. The magical moment came in season one, episode 12, which was called Lallybroch.
Grey falls in love with Jamie, who rejects his advances. Still, Grey cannot dismiss his feelings.
Davis added: “Frank's great love ends up being Brianna and Claire will never reciprocate his love, so his great love ended up becoming a child that's not even his which is beautiful.” From their words, it sounds like Claire could have gone but she wanted Brianna to have a father rather than being a single parent.
Some think Jamie's spirit (but not his body) traveled to through time to guide Claire to him; others suggest Jamie had a near-death experience after the Battle of Culloden, and that's why his ghost is 25 when he appears to Frank.
Director Brendan Maher told Vulture that while both Menzies and Heughan had stunt doubles for the physically demanding sequence, neither used them much. “We had people for safety, just in case, but the nature of the work is that you want the actors to do as much as they possibly can,” Maher said.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
