After the painful events that happened in Paris, the Frasers are now ready to head back to Scotland to face their unfinished businesses in episode 8 of "Outlander" season 2.
At the end of episode 7, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) lost their first child. The heartache prompted the couple to decide to leave Paris and forget about their traumatic experience in the royal courts of France.
In the upcoming episode, titled "The Fox's Lair," Jamie and Claire must prepare themselves to face familiar faces and problems in their homeland.
Radio Times teased that a lot of things will unfold once the couple sets foot once again in Scotland. Despite their decision to leave Paris, the couple will not abandon their plans for the Jacobite cause. This will prompt them to seek the help of Jamie's grandsire, Lord Lovat (Clive Russell), to support them in their cause. But based on the trailer for the upcoming episode, getting his support comes at a hefty price.
Also, the episode will showcase Claire's new discovery about Jamie's complicated family history. But will this affect the couple's relationship in the long run?
Meanwhile, Balfe talked about how Claire and Jamie's lives will move forward as they settle back in Scotland during an interview with Variety.
According to the actress, Scotland has always been a comforting place for the couple since it is where they can be themselves, but the events in Paris already changed Claire for the rest of her life.
"I don't think she'll ever really get over this, and in some ways, it's hardened her and made her tougher, but in some ways it's also made her more fragile and brittle," the actress said.
Balfe also teased that Jamie will be tougher because of the painful experiences that happened to him in the past.
"Jamie really becomes the man that he was always meant to be in the later episodes, and I think Claire is right there alongside him, and you see their bond really deepen and strengthen," she added.
"Outlander" season 2 episode 8 airs on Saturday, May 28, on Starz.
