Laoghaire and Brianna originally liked each other. They were friendly, trusting, and kind. Brianna helped Laoghaire tell stories from the Bible again, while Laoghaire gave Brianna clothing and a place to recover. Over time, Laoghaire learned the truth about who Brianna was and immediately changed the kindness to hate.
Laoghaire locked Brianna in the room she was staying in and vowed to have her arrested for witchcraft like she had done with Claire. Joanie let her out and took her to Lallybroch. Jenny wasn't there, but Ian gave her money for passage on a ship to North Carolina.
Then just days later, Brianna was raped. That in itself is a traumatic experience, something that would sit with Brianna forever. Sure, she moved forward from the rape, but those memories would still be there. The fear and the pain would still be on her mind.
It is a great chapter for the book. Brianna doesn't just meet Jenny and Ian (and her cousins), but she also very quickly meets the woman who almost got her mother killed. Of course, Laoghaire hasn't changed one bit, and it's clear Laoghaire never will. However, the focus doesn't remain on her.
Laoghaire MacKenzie, of the Clan Mackenzie:
She has been married four times: Hugh MacKenzie of Muldaur, Simon MacKimmie, Jamie Fraser (invalid), and Joseph Boswell Murray. She has two daughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, by her second husband, Simon.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
Murtagh is godfather to Jamie Fraser, the son of his second cousin, Brian Fraser.
Roger is the father of Bree's baby in Outlander
The Outlander Season 6 finale included the lice scene. It wasn't quite the same way as the books, but it was still a great way to make it clear that Jemmy and Roger are related by blood.
Jenny meets Brianna Randall Fraser for the first time at Lallybroch, when the girl travels into the 18th century to search for her parents. Jenny is delighted at seeing that Jamie fathered a daughter as they had never expected him to have children, and marvels at Brianna likeness to him.
Nonetheless, Jamie did have sexual relations with Laoghaire in a bid to make the marriage work but ultimately failed and so the couple separated. Additionally, it seems Jamie was acting of out duty to his new wife however past trauma meant Laoghaire was unable to reciprocate.
The exact reasons for Donnelly's recasting haven't been made public, but the actress has been busy with a number of other projects since wrapping up her first stint on Outlander, so it's entirely possible that scheduling conflicts are to blame.
Outlander: Brianna Randall slaps Jamie Fraser in the face after he attacks wrong man for raping her.
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.
The real reason for the unusual nickname
Before this, they would attempt the phonetic pronunciation. “Laog” became “Leg” and “haire” became “Hair,” so “LegHair” became her name. Some fans opted for “LaogHair” instead or “LogHair,” but it was the unusual nickname that stuck.
She was infatuated with Jamie, sure that he was hers. In fact, in Outlander Season 1, Episode 4, she knows that she's potentially losing him so turns to Claire for help to keep him. She's that in love with him. Claire clearly views this as something innocent and gives her a bit of dried horse dung to use as a “potion.”
After Jamie returns from prison and indentured servitude, Jamie's sister, Jenny, arranges a marriage between Laoghaire and her grieving brother. The marriage, however, is a failure, and Jamie leaves Laoghaire.
Upon his release, Jamie tries to track down the other prisoners from Ardsmuir to see if any have returned from their indentureship. None have, but he finds Duncan Innes, who is close to starvation, and Jamie finds work for him. Jamie returns to Lallybroch, but feels a stranger in his own home.
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.
Claire Hasn't Told Jenny She's A Time-Traveler
When Claire and Jenny first met in season 1, Jenny believed Claire had the sight after Jamie told her about Claire's 'inklings. ' Ultimately, Jenny trusted and followed Claire's advice because Jamie trusted her premonitions ("The Search").
He may never have called Jamie “Dad,” but Jamie has been the only father figure he's ever known. He's always looked up to Jamie, and this moment shows that Jamie continues to respect Fergus and call him family. There are sadly some who wouldn't view adopted sons and daughters in the same way as biological ones.
However, Bree did remarry in the series finale to her lawyer, Trip Weston, making him her third husband. Bree is the only one of the main four housewives not to appear in every episode.
“I curse you. I curse you with knowledge, Jack Randall. I give you the hour of your death. Jonathan Wolverton Randall, Born Sept 3rd, 1705, dies…” she whispers in his ear, and suddenly he knows that she's telling him the truth.
Unbeknownst to Willie, his birth father was not the elderly Earl of Ellesmere at all, but Jamie Fraser.
Jocasta is Ellen's sister and has loved Murtagh from afar for decades, knowing that he was always in love with another. In the final episode of season four the pair came together, uniting a couple that were never united in the books and setting the television show on a brand new path.
Following the release of the first episode, fans were quick to share their love for Jamie and Murtagh's friendship. One viewer asked: “What was the word that Jamie says to Murtagh in Gaelic and it's meaning?” Another explained that “ghoistidh” means godfather.
