In the original source material, Laoghaire gets Claire put on trial for being a witch by sending a note. But in the TV series, she turns up to testify against Claire, showing just how vindictive she can be. Laoghaire was jealous and wanted to punish Claire for marrying JamieJames "Jamie" Fraser is a fictional character in the Outlander series of multi-genre novels by American author Diana Gabaldon, and its television adaptation. In the series, married World War II nurse Claire Randall is visiting Scotland when she is transported through time from 1945 back to 1743.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Jamie_Fraser_(character)
Jamie has a son named William Ransom with Geneva Dunsany, who died during William's birth. Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.
In Season 1's “Castle Leoch,” Jamie takes Laoghaire's punishment for “loose behavior” and it lands him with a variety of contusions and lacerations meted out by Rupert.
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.
In the finale of Outlander's fifth season, Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) was abducted from her North Carolina home by a gang of men, led by Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy), before being beaten and raped.
Jamie Uses His Hands Season 1 Episode 11, “The Devil's Mark”
18th century), Claire has to come clean and tell Jamie she's from the future—and she best go back before she's burned at the stake. On what he thinks will be their last night together, Jamie touches Claire—and when she tries to reciprocate, he declines.
Yet, even with so many people suspicious of her, there are plenty of characters who know that Claire is a time traveler. As the number of time travelers on Outlander increases, the secret understandably has become harder to keep. But the more people who know, the more Claire and her family could be in danger.
Laoghaire goes completely nuts. She tells Brianna her mother is a witch who should have burned at the stake, that she bewitched Jamie and nastily tells her that Jamie never wanted a child, so he sent Claire away. She locks Brianna up.
The writers of Outlander made a big change to the series from the source material in season three. In the third outing, Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) tied the knot with Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) during the 20 years while Claire (Caitriona Balfe) was in the future.
Just as she begins to worry that Jamie might be capable of lying to her, Jamie quells her fear by revealing to her his indiscretion with Mary MacNab, a woman who worked at Lallybroch, while Claire was back in 1968 with Frank and Brianna. This confession soothes Claire, and the two find themselves realigned once again.
Unable to sleep, Claire heads to Colum's library to borrow a book, and ends up eavesdropping on a conversation between Colum and Dougal. She discerns that Dougal has gotten Laoghaire pregnant.
Some think Jamie's spirit (but not his body) traveled to through time to guide Claire to him; others suggest Jamie had a near-death experience after the Battle of Culloden, and that's why his ghost is 25 when he appears to Frank.
There are no biological children after Brianna in Outlander
Claire and Jamie don't have any more children after Brianna. Claire heads through the stones while pregnant with Brianna at the end of the second season/book. She spends 20 years in the 20th century, and she and Frank don't have any children together.
Claire Fraser was born on October 20, 1918.
That would make her 27-and-a-half at the time she and Jamie meet in the books, while Jamie's barely 22. This would make Claire five and a half years older than Jamie.
This one stings.
Surprise! Jamie also has two step-daughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie. They became his step-daughters when he married their mother, Laoghaire MacKenzie. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Laoghaire is the same woman who orchestrates Claire being put on trial for witchcraft.
So, it seems Jamie went through with the marriage in a bid to build a life by himself without Claire. Also, he chose Laoghaire's daughters rather than her because of his desire to have children and be a father.
However, in the series, Jamie did know about her involvement as Claire told him. As she was recovering in the wilderness with Jamie, she explained how it had been Laoghaire who was behind it all.
"He fell in love when she broke down and wept in his arms and let him comfort her," the author says. Jamie falling first was inevitable since he didn't have the complications of having a secret double life and spouse in the future like Claire.

This, together with the sight of Brianna's photograph – stolen by Geillis from Jamie's collection – having been burned in some sort of ritual, confirms that Geillis intends to travel through time again and find Brianna, whom she now believes to be the heir of Lovat's line.
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.
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.
It helps to remember the whole timeline, which is easier when you read the books. When Jamie met /married Claire, he was a 23 year old virgin, and they were together three years before she went back through the stones pregnant with Brianna in 1746.
When asked about the situation, Outlander author Diana Gabaldon confirmed that Claire did not use ether in the books. Fans described the nurse using the drug to sleep as "out of character" for her and questioned why STARZ decided to turn her into a drug user.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
