Claire and Jamie are excited to see him. Claire asks how William (Jamie’s son) is and John tells them he’s nearly as tall as he is and beats him at chess all the time! Jamie looks sad, “I hope I can play with him one day.”
It's evident from his relationship with Claire --which colors much of the Outlander storyline-- that Jamie has an incredibly modern take on male-female relationships – even though he is the product of 18th century Scotland. Ardent fans will know that he loves Claire with depth and purity – also perceiving her as an equal.
So while everyone was dancing and having a grand time, Jamie was off to the side feeling lonely and generally sorry for himself. That's when Laoghaire's daughters Marsali and Joan dragged him out to the dance floor and he actually had fun for the first time in a long time.
Outside the prison, the guards come upon Duncan Kerr, who is gravely ill. Since he only speaks Gaelic and French, Grey asks Jamie to figure out what he is saying because it could be of interest to the crown. Grey suspects the man was fortune hunting, and he would like to find the jewels and get in good with the king.
After his second flogging, friends came to help Jamie escape a second time, and in the process one of the guards was killed; thence Jamie had a price of ten pounds Sterling on his head for murder.
To take it even further back, William was conceived on the eve of Geneva Dunsany's wedding to elderly Ludovic Ransom, Eighth Earl of Ellesmere, when Geneva blackmailed Jamie into sleeping with her. Geneva died after complications following William's birth and Lord Ellesmere raised him as his own.
Jamie and Laoghaire 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.
Jamie and Claire returned to Lallybroch in January 1778. While there, Jamie paid Laoghaire a visit and apologized for marrying her when he was incapable of loving her.
“She ends up having a secret, right? You know, her secret is that she's struggling, and that she's leaning on something other than her family and her relationship to get through it.” Balfe believes that “a very common thing” with trauma is that people end up hiding in a certain way. Or, hiding a part of themselves.
She was going to be arrested for espionage, and Lord John Grey had to protect her knowing that she wouldn't be a spy. He married her to offer her his protection. Yes, they did consummate the marriage, too.
It was clear from the look Jamie gave Claire that it was to make her jealous as well as him just being a typical guy with some needs, but it clearly meant something different to Laoghaire. She likely thought it meant that he was interested in her.
While Jamie doesn't cheat on Claire, the accusations will rock Fraser's Ridge as his honour is called into question.
He was married to Isobel Dunsany, who died on a ship at sea while traveling to visit him. He later marries Claire, but when Jamie returns after having been thought to be dead for some time, it makes their marriage invalid.
Claire, remembering a similar anniversary gift Jamie had given to her a decade earlier, faints. A week after her marriage to Lord John, she and John drunkenly sleep together. The following morning, both talk about Jamie and admit they are using each other to connect with Jamie's memory.
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.
You may be looking for Marsali's sister Joan. Joan Fraser is the second child and eldest daughter of Fergus and Marsali Fraser, and grandchild of Jamie and Claire Fraser.
Still, the fact that he mentions his son to Claire reveals he cherishes honesty and virtue, showing he is willing to risk much to keep truth and integrity in his prized relationship. The fact that Claire doesn’t ask more about the mother of the boy’s identity is a mystery to most fans of the Outlander series.
True fans will know that Jamie Fraser often has visions and dreams about his family, seeing visions which often come to pass. For example, this was how he knew that the Jacobites would lose in the Battle of Culloden. Still, he went to war, standing alongside his fellow Scots.
It's evident from his relationship with Claire --which colors much of the Outlander storyline-- that Jamie has an incredibly modern take on male-female relationships – even though he is the product of 18th century Scotland.
Claire has good reason to believe that Jamie would die at Culloden - and he nearly did. Jamie himself believed that he would die at the famous battle, after he and Claire failed in their attempts to stop the Jacobite rebellion from coming to this bloody end.
The season premiere focused primarily on Claire, but was interspersed with some intense (if mostly wordless) scenes of Jamie after the battle. Lying on the battlefield, he appears nearly dead from his wounds, but is found by Rupert (Grant O'Rourke) and dragged away to hide in an outpost with other survivors.
Fans of the books will know, of course, that the name John Grey is going to mean a whole lot more to Jamie in the coming years, but for now, he's just a teenager that Jamie didn't kill when he had the chance.
The second episode 'Surrender' picks up several years after Jamie's lucky escape from the firing squad at Culloden, living in a cave near Lallybroch. Despite being set free by Lord Melton, Jamie is still a wanted man and cannot come out of hiding to live a normal life at Lallybroch.

Ned manages to talk for so long that the trial is adjourned until it can be continued in the morning. Although he doesn't manage to convince the judges of Claire's innocence he does buy her much needed time that allows Jamie to arrive before she is killed.
Jamie talks to Duncan about the Frenchman’s gold. Duncan is pretty incoherent but he talks about the White Witch, silkies and the gold being cursed. Jamie suspects the White Witch might be Claire when Duncan says she seeks a brave man, a Mackenzie. He tells Grey a part of what Duncan told him, and Grey suspects he didn’t tell him all. He threatens to force Jamie, but Jamie says that there isn’t anything he can do to him that hasn’t been done.

Fraser tells Grey he was brave, he thought he was saving Claire’s life at the risk of his own. Grey puts his hand on Jamie’s and says he is sorry for his loss. Jamie demands he take his hand off of him or he will kill him. He reacts so strongly because of the torture Black Jack Randall put him through.
He says, “It’s Frank. There’s been a car accident.” Frank is already dead when Claire finds him. She says, “I did love you very much. Goodbye.” And she kisses him.
