After attending to Claire 24 hours a day for almost a week, Malva and housekeeper Mrs Bug (Sarah Collier) decided to cut her hair off, thinking it would help reduce Claire's temperature. Having to rock a much shorter hairdo for her character, Balfe, revealed she “wasn't a big fan,” of the shorter look.
It began in the form of a bad haircut, after Malva and housekeeper Mrs Bug cut Claire's hair off to ease the fever. Poor Claire.
Roger explained that Malva and Mrs. Bug cut Claire's hair while everyone else was out. Malva's actions may have been malicious, but Mrs. Bug was likely doing what she thought was right.
Outlander's Caitriona Balfe revealed producers turned down 'mullet' request. Caitriona's character Claire Fraser had her hair cut after falling ill in this week's episode.
Claire eventually realizes that Malva is lying because she knows her husband well enough. Tom seems to question Malva's story. You can see it in his face that he's trying to figure out if this story is true. And then there are the reactions at the funeral when Allan refuses to let Claire carry the baby's coffin out.
Later, after Claire has returned to the Ridge, she is confessor to Allan Christie, who explains that he was the one that fathered Malva's child, and then murdered her.
Allan's father Tom later took the fall and falsely confessed to killing Malva in the hopes of ending Claire's trial.
Jamie denies having slept with her, but the damage to his and to Claire's reputation is done—and the bond between the Frasers and Malva is severed, until just a few weeks later, when Claire finds Malva murdered in the garden.
Sadly, the long ginger curls of Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) are not real. Heughan wears mostly extensions and wigs to become Jamie Fraser in the series. Throughout the show's six-year history, Jamie has been seen with his hair curled, plaited and even had a fringe in season four.
Heughan used to dye his hair red to get the look but was forced to stop doing that because it wasn't working out for him. Instead, he now wears wigs to get Jamie's iconic locks, which is way better than having to deal with dyed hair for half the year.
Catholics here in Europe we wear our wedding ring on the right hand. Plus it goes deeper for Catholics. Remember Jamie is a "Papist" catholic.
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 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's ability to use shadow magic was limited in Trollhunters, but her magic became more powerful in time and so the whiteness in her hair grew.
At the end of episode 7, Claire is arrested for Malva's murder, with many of the accusing residents citing jealousy or witchcraft as her motives, while the fact the young woman's body was found in Claire's garden didn't help her case.
Master Raymond drinks first, and though he hunches over in pain, he makes it through. He also uses some sleight of hand---when Claire gets the goblet back, her necklace turns black. Somehow, he has laced Claire's poison with an even deadlier poison.
No toothbrushes, no toothpaste, no soap." But according to the show's costume designer, Terry Dresbach, women had even more to be concerned about than just being smelly. "No underwear," she wrote in a 2014 blog post detailing some of the considerations that went into planning an 18th century wardrobe.
Regardless of Claire's on-screen age, wigs were incorporated into her hair and makeup protocol to achieve the character's look.
Jamie does admit he's slept with someone else, telling her about his one-night tryst with Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) before he turned himself in to authorities following the Battle of Culloden nearly 20 years prior.
In the TV series, we get to see how Malva knows all about Jamie's scars. She spies on Claire and Jamie when they're in the barn, which is going to lead to all of his scars on show. The TV show gave us this scene so that it would clear up questions later on.
Tom Christie's biggest confession, however, is that he is deeply in love with Claire. It is still unclear if Tom Christie has identified his son (and Malva's half-brother), Allan, as Malva's true killer when he falsely confesses or if he only takes the blame because he knows Claire to be innocent.
Malva Christie might have only been introduced in Outlander Season 6, but she has a central role in the drama. The daughter of Tom Christie, she is both naive and sinister, and many Outlander fans have struggled to work out her true intentions.
She's never seemed curious about the intimacies of a couple before. This suggests that she's up to something. Watching the two gives her information to use in the future.
In November 1776, Allan comes to Malva's grave and confesses to Claire about raping his sister, that he was the father of Malva's child, and that he killed her because she was going to tell the truth.
However, while Malva is killed in May 1775 in the book's timeline, it isn't until November 1776 before her killer is revealed. Eventually, Claire finds Allan Christie by Malva's grave and he admits to having sexually abused his sister since she was a child and the unborn child was actually his.
