Brittany: After six episodes of foreplay, we finally get what we've all been waiting for! Jamie and Claire are married, so now they can finally get to the marriage bed. I loved the storytelling of this episode, where it goes back and forth from past to present to show the wedding and how it came together.
The sex they have next is passionate, intense, and incredibly erotic. Claire obtains an orgasm, which surprises Jamie, and proves the two have crazy chemistry. (I mean, they go at it again before the episode is through.)
Season 2, Episode 8
“It was cowardly of me.” Claire reassures him that it makes no difference to her. The honest and quiet moment, which leads to Jamie hoisting Claire up and carrying her to bed, proves that sometimes less is more when it comes to being sexy.

During his time apart from Claire, Jamie slept with several women, including Mary McNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) and Geneva Dunsany (Hannah James). And of course, there was Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) as well who had her sights on Jamie since season one.
As ambitious and enormous as the world of Outlander is, it's the characters and their relationships that make the story so compelling. At its heart is the love shared between Claire and Jamie, two people who ultimately would not let time or distance—even hundreds of years—keep them apart.
This storyline is taken from the books. In A Breath of Snow and Ashes, Claire and Tom come down with the same sickness around the same time dysentery is traveling around the Ridge. Claire knows that she didn't have the same thing, but she can't get to the bottom of the cause. It's Tom who eventually finds out.
While they are getting ready to move on to the hotel room, Claire faints and they end up in the hospital instead. The diagnosis, Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, requires Claire to "take it easy".
Does Jamie ever cheat on Claire in Outlander? No, Jamie never cheats on Claire in Outlander. In fact, Jamie was very devoted to his relationship with Claire throughout the entire series.

The magical moment came in season one, episode 12, which was called Lallybroch.

It's not about Claire being emotionally ready to sleep with him; she had to legally consummate their marriage. They just happen to conveniently fall in love so we're not watching wedding night rape. Are most viewers going to question their quick chemistry in the bedroom?

20, 1918. It was 1945 when she fell through the stones, and she would have been turning 27 that year. In the show, she has already turned 27 by the time she falls through the stones as the series is set in October rather than May at first.
Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) had an unconventional start as a couple. Outlander viewers will remember how the pair were forced to marry for Claire to be safe from Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) who was vying for her arrest.
The good news was that Claire and her baby survived thanks to the poison being "bitter cascara," which appeared to be nonlethal.
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!
Luckily, she has Jamie to make her ordeal a bit easier. In a strange turn of events, Claire ends up married to Jamie to keep her from falling into the hands of the evil Captain Randall.
