These stones come into play time and again on Outlander: Claire travels through the stones at Craigh na Dun in 1746 when
Claire & Frank (Season 2, Episode 1)
Following a teary goodbye with her Highlander husband Jamie, she returns to her own time by touching the standing stones at Craigh na Dun. Once back in Inverness, she reunites with her husband Frank (Menzies) who is concerned when he's met with a skittish Claire.
Outlander Season 3 Episode 6: A.
After decades apart, Jamie and Claire finally reunite and rekindle their emotional and physical bonds.
However, fans were desperate for the pair to be reunited once again and in season three it finally happened. In the special extended episode six, viewers saw Claire finally head back to the 18th century to her true love.
Geillis only ever travels through the stones once. In 1968, she heads to the past. So, how does Claire cross paths with her so much?
Author Diana Gabaldon, who wrote the book series upon which the Starz TV show is based, has confirmed that it is Jamie's ghost that Frank saw, but she's also stated repeatedly that Jamie cannot travel forward in time.
Geillis' Duncan's Death in the Books
Of course, Claire doesn't know that yet (in the books or the series). Instead, she simply gets a vague feeling of being connected to the bones, and that the woman didn't want to die when she did.
Claire Fraser
She arrives in the same spot in Scotland on May 2, 1743. But that isn't the last time she travels. Claire, pregnant with Brianna goes back through the stones on April 16, 1746 and reappears in Inverness in 1948, still expecting her first child with Jamie.
Literally. Claire is born in 1918 and falls through time in 1945. She arrives in 1743, spends 3 years there, goes back to the 20th century, stays there until 1968, goes back to 1766.
Jamie can't travel through the stones because he does not have the “magic” gene that allows one to travel in time. Roger can do it because is is a descendant of Ghellis. Brianna, of course, has the ability from her mother, as do her children. Somewhere in her ancestry, Claire must have had someone with the capability.
Jamie did remain faithful to Claire. It didn't stop him from being aroused. However, it just made him miss and want Claire more. Even in their 50s, the two are ready to be with each other sexually.
1701-1800. Jamie and Claire have been separated for 20 years. He is hiding near Lallybroch after surviving the Battle of Culloden. Jamie is blackmailed into sleeping with Ellesmere's young fiancée Geneva and impregnates her.
During this time, Jamie was left close to death and bereft without his wife. However, after some convincing from his sister Jenny Murray (Laura Donnelly), Jamie married Laoghaire.
These stones come into play time and again on Outlander: Claire travels through the stones at Craigh na Dun in 1746 when Jamie brings her back to them in order to keep their baby safe, and then one more time in 1968 when she travels back to be reunited with her one, true love in 1766.
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.
She strips off her nightdress, lies naked on top of Jamie, and then reaches down and gives him a hand job, which causes him to miraculously revive.
In the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of her website, Gabaldon explains that Master Raymond is not only a time traveler and a shaman, but also a distant relative of both Claire and Geillis. "We'll see him again–though not in Jamie and Claire's story, I don't think," she writes.
Claire explains she never saw anyone other than Malva, but Allan (Alexander Vlahos) doesn't believe her. Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones) points out Claire's soaked in blood and Claire says it's from attempting to save the baby. Claire assures Tom that Malva's death was quick.
Fergus apparently knows Claire is a time traveler in Outlander. Diana Gabaldon mentions now and then on social media that Fergus knows Claire is a time traveler. This is something that happens off-book in the series. Fergus and Marsali have both learned the truth, which is important for later books.
She baptized the baby and claimed Faith died afterward, so Faith was buried in the cemetery. When Claire visits L'Hôpital des Anges again, she goes back to Faith's grave. This is a chance to see her first daughter again, see what had been lost.
The Circumstances Surrounding The Meeting
Although the end result in both is that Jamie and Brianna get to meet each other in 1769 in North Carolina, there were little divergences from the novel that the show took to get there. First off, Brianna finds Jamie in Cross Creek — not Wilmington — in the book.
In the series' earlier seasons, viewers saw Claire, a World War II veteran nurse visiting Scotland just after the war, mysteriously travel 200 years into the past. She later journeyed with her new husband, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), to several different countries; and also returned back to the future as well.
In the finale of Outlander's fifth season, Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) was abducted from her North Carolina home by a gang of men, led by Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy), before being beaten and raped.
There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge." Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) uses the drug to self-medicate following her harrowing experience at the hands of kidnappers led by Lionel Brown when she was repeatedly raped.
About half way through the book, the protagonist, Claire, is violently beaten by her lover/husband, Jamie, as punishment for endangering him and his clan.
