We learn that Fergus (Romann Berrux) is not getting drunk and beating Marsali.
However, he brings along Jamie's step-daughter Marsali MacKimmie, informs Jamie that they are in love, and the two are hand-fast. In spring 1767, Fergus and Marsali marry in the West Indies and Jamie gives Fergus his own last name, thus formalizing their relationship as father and adopted son.
In the fifth episode, she decided it was best to move her family to New Bern for a fresh start and to keep Fergus far from its negativity. After hearing about a vacant print shop, Fergus decided to occupy it meaning the family will likely stay in New Bern for the foreseeable future.
In the dramatic final episode, pregnant Marsali (Lauren Lyle) was beaten and Claire was kidnapped and raped by Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy).
For now, though, it appears both Fergus and Marsali aren't time travellers with actors Lyle and Domboy addressing this in an Instagram live Q&A from earlier this year.
Henri-Christian is born as the fourth child of Fergus and Marsali. He is a dwarf and some of the residents of Fraser's Ridge believe he is a punishment for his parents' sins.
Well, Fergus is believed to be the son of the comte and Amelie Beauchamp.
In the novels, Marsali and Fergus apparently know. They haven't been told on-page, but Diana Gabaldon confirms that the two know that Claire, Bree, and Roger are time travelers.
Jamie notes that Claire has told Fergus and Marsali about when the Revolutionary War will come to an end. She'd need to have told them she's a time traveler to be able to explain that one. Jenny does eventually find out.
Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.
There wasn't a big goodbye post on social media to indicate that he was leaving for good. There are ways to bring Fergus back into it. In the books, he does remain part of the story. We check in with him and his family now and then, first in New Bern and then in other parts of the country they head to.
According to what we know from the books, the two remain absent or otherwise marginal for the duration of the seventh book, An Echo in the Bone, on which Outlander season 7 is based.
Fans will be pleased to hear Fergus survives through to Diana Gabaldon's novels. In Written in My Own Heart's Blood, Fergus and his family settle in Wilmington in 1779. He continues to face threats but managed to stay safe throughout.
In the book, Fergus and Marsali chose to stay in Jamaica and not board the ship. After all, they are newlyweds and opt to spend time with each other apart from the other characters, although they meet up again later.
Fergus is 17 years older than Ian and 15 years older than Marsali.
Fergus turned up drunk on numerous occasions. Jamie didn't say anything at first, but it's clear from Marsali's words that she's been handling this for a while and she's getting to a point where she can't cope any more.
Ian provides few details after his mysterious reappearance in episode 8, aside from disclosing that he had a wife. Now, in Outlander season 6, episode 4, “Hour of the Wolf,” Ian's story finally unfolds. Joining their tribe, Ian found love with a Mohawk woman, Emily, and the pair were married.
After he's interrogated, John asks Jamie to assure him that Claire will be safe, at which point Jamie reveals that Claire is his wife. Jamie ostensibly still plans to kill John, but an angry Claire argues that there's no evidence that John is a spy.
The killer is in fact Malva's brother, Allan Christie (Alexander Vlahos). He is also the father of her baby, having raped and abused Malva since she was a child. Malva had decided to tell the truth, which is why Allan killed her.
It shouldn't be all that surprising to find out that they have two more children during the late 1770s. Marsali has given birth to Alexandre Fraser and Charles-Claire Fraser. You can see who they are both named for within their names there, albeit the French versions of the names.
Sadly, the long ginger curls of Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) are not real. Heughan wears mostly extensions and wigs to become Jamie Fraser in the series. Throughout the show's six-year history, Jamie has been seen with his hair curled, plaited and even had a fringe in season four.
Malva developed a sexual relationship with Ian Murray during the time frame that she was trying to find someone to place blame upon for her pregnancy. Ian knew that he was not the only man she was sleeping with, after he showed late for one of their meetings he found her having sex with Bobby Higgins instead.
As a time traveler, he has lived during the 1630s and possibly other eras. He first attempts to travel forward beyond his own projected lifetime in 1778, with the help of Master Raymond.
The mysterious Master Raymond is a "prehistoric time traveler." Not much is known about him, but he is thought to be a common ancestor of both Claire Fraser and Geillis Duncan.
Fergus or Feargus is a common Scottish or Irish male given name derived from Scots Gaelic, meaning the strong (one) or the masculine (one).
