Claire, saying “Jonathan Wolverton Randall….” Close up on Randall's face as Claire tell him his birth date: “Born, Sept 3, 1705, dies….” Claire whispers his date of death into his ear, and the camera pulls back from his face, where he knows, HE KNOWS that she is telling the truth and there's nothing he can do about it.
Although it didn't unfold on-screen, the showrunners did imply Claire told Frank the truth about Black Jack Randall. This was all revealed in "Dragonfly in Amber" when Roger and Brianna were looking into Reverend Wakefield's journals and discovered Frank had sent him a letter.
This is dysentery. Claire tells everyone that a contaminated water source most likely caused it, but after funeral upon funeral — the body count is high! — no one can seem to figure it out. And then Claire falls ill.
Ultimately Alex got his way and Black Jack and Mary were wed, but then he very quickly drew his last breath. It's what came after that was so disturbing and interesting: Black Jack took out his sorrow through rage and started beating his dead brother's corpse.
6. Claire sleeps with King Louis XV to free Jamie from the Bastille. When Jamie goes to jail for illegally dueling Black Jack Randall in Paris, he's imprisoned in the Bastille. Claire, who miscarried their daughter Faith, goes to meet the king and plead for him to free Jamie so they can return to Scotland.
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.
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.
"In that shot [right before the scene with young Randall and Jack], older Randall is indicative of, obviously, the grown children or a child who has fully grown, and Milo in that moment [in the final scene] is representing a parent who's taking in his entire family," Fogelman says.
"In some way Jamie represents everything that Jack isn't, and you both love and want to destroy the thing that you can't be. He's drawn to this person. "Jack is someone who is interested in pain and people's pain thresholds. He's sort of clinical in his atomization of Jamie.
Jamie was left traumatised by Black Jack, who attempted to own his very soul by torturing and raping him. He even tried to turn Jamie against his wife Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) during the prolonged ordeal.
The producers wanted to do right by what Claire endured and how she deals with it is only going to get worse before it gets better – if it ever can. “There's not quite as much in the book to play with, so that is why we decided to use the ether as a method of her trying to cope,” Davis said.
Malva, before her death, tells him that she made them sick. She'd collected parts of the dead Sin Eater and poisoned Claire and Tom. She wanted to get to Jamie, and getting Claire out of the way was the only way to do that.
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.
In season 3, when the Underwoods are President and First Lady of the United States, Claire's marriage to Frank begins to falter. She tires of being in a subordinate role to him, wanting to be "significant" in her own right, and decides that he is "not enough" for her.
Yes, he had some stipulations (different stipulations in the show and in the Outlander books), but he was still there for Claire and he loved Brianna. Hate for Frank comes from a variety of reasons. One of those is this perception that he had affairs, something that Diana Gabaldon says didn't happen.
Jonathan Wolverton Randall aka "Black Jack", captain of His Majesty's Eighth Dragoons: His parents are Denys Randall and Jessica Wolverton. He also has two brothers: Edward Randall and Alexander Randall. He is married to Mary Hawkins, and they have a son, Denys Alexander Randall, who is actually his nephew.
Diana Gabaldon confirms what he is. It turns out that he's a sociopath. This is evident in the love he has for his brother, but also the way he acts towards other people. There is an element of sadism in him, but it all comes down to that sociopathic nature.
Jamie stands stoically as his fellow prisoners are hanged and when Macquarie is called forth, he crosses himself. When called himself, he decides to fight his captors. We hear more than once in the Outlander stories that being hanged is considered a most dishonourable death.
Captain Jonathan “Black Jack” Randall (played by Tobias Menzies) passed many seasons ago. The evil villain died at the Battle of Culloden at the hands of Highlander Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan).
It ends with both Rebecca and Jack saying, "I love you." "I always thought that the final —in the back of my mind, I always thought that the final actual scripted spoken dialogue in the episode would be Jack or Rebecca just simply saying I love you to one another," Fogelman told reporters on a call.
Rebecca dies, aged 82/83. The Pearsons gather to have a funeral for Rebecca. Deja is approximately 28, Tess 25, and Annie 22/23. Jack Damon is approximately 14, Hailey 12.
The cabin, as the Pearsons have always referred to it, was something Jack purchased when the kids were 10 years old, a home away from home the family drove to regularly.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
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!
