The "Outlander" season 3 episode 5 preview teases the highly-anticipated print shop reunion of Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe). The trailer for the forthcoming installment shows the now-doctor planning to return in the past to Scotland to reunite with her long-lost husband.
Many are now excited for the episode 5 premiere since the episode preview gave a few teasers on the comeback of Claire in the 18<sup>th century to find Jamie. There will surely be some drama before she decides to return through the stones. As seen in the clip, she is a little hesitant as she doubts if her husband will remember her or love her like he used to.
Claire questions, "What if he does not love me anymore?" Understandably, her daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) reminds her of the powerful love she has for Jamie. She said to her mom, "You gave Jamie up for me. Now I have to give him back to you." It can be recalled that Claire left the Scottish warrior during the Battle of Culloden to protect her unborn baby.
Despite her worries, she will take the plunge, thanks to her daughter's encouragement. After traveling back to 18<sup>th century, Claire will eventually locate the print shop where Jamie was supposedly working. The preview clip shows the Sassenach outside the shop, and it will be at the right time that the two will finally reunite.
Speaking about the print shop scene in an interview with Radio Times, executive producer Ronald D. Moore revealed that the most awaited reunion will be very special and extra long. He explained, "The Claire/Jamie reunion episode is a very special one. I think you're going to get an extra-sized reunion episode."
However, he did not divulge when it will finally take place and quipped that he was not anxious about the feedback of the fans regarding Jamie and Claire's time apart. He said, "It didn't worry me at all. I felt confident that that love is what makes it work."
Moore further added, "The fact that you're dying to put them back together is a good thing, and keeping them part and having the audience constantly like 'Oh my God when are they getting back together?' is just rooting interest and compels them to watch the next one."
True to his words, fans are thrilled to witness the reunion of the leading characters. The reaction towards the episode 5 preview definitely proves how much the viewers long to see the couple getting back together.
The fifth installment of "Outlander" season 3 will hit the small screens on Sunday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. ETD on Starz.
