It sure has been a tense watch with these past eight episodes of Outlander<\/a>, hasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n As well as bloody battles, time travel, new landscapes and characters, our beloved ensemble has had to deal with a lot of new challenges in this seventh season<\/a>.<\/p>\n Caitriona Balfe had previously teased to RadioTimes.com<\/a> that there would be \u201ca lot of peril\u201d this season, and it has definitely been a rollercoaster journey of emotions.<\/p>\n The action only notched up another level in the mid-season finale as Jamie (Sam Heughan) fought in the pivotal Second Battle of Saratoga \u2013 especially since the mid-season finale purposely didn\u2019t show Jamie as being conscious to begin with.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) whose ending was particularly tense, as they continued in their search for their young son Jemmy after he was kidnapped by supposed friend and Bri\u2019s colleague Rob Cameron (Chris Fulton).<\/p>\n All bets were well and truly off when it came to the finale, as teased by executive producer Maril Davis<\/a> exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Still reeling from the season 7 part 1 closing episode? Well, read on for a full breakdown of what happened \u2013 with a detailed explanation from Outlander\u2019s executive producer Maril Davis<\/a>.<\/p> The episode starts off with the very stark realisation that Jamie may not actually be alright after all, as the scene opens with a sad overview of the dead bodies on the battlefield.<\/p>\n A mother and son are going around, stealing objects from the corpses, and come across Jamie\u2019s motionless body. But as he coughs, the mother steps back and orders her son to slit his throat. Claire soon appears, threatening them and wielding a sword at them \u2013 which seems to work a trick as they leave and Jamie and Claire are reunited.<\/p>\n Typically, they get bickering about the fact that Jamie could have been killed and Claire looks him over for signs of serious injury.<\/p>\n Back at the base camp, Claire tends to Jamie\u2019s wounds and tells Jamie that the British are claiming they\u2019ve won, although they suffered twice the amount of casualties than they did, leading him to wonder whether his son William (Charles Vandervaart) is okay.<\/p>\nOutlander season 7 part 1 ending explained: What happened to Jamie and Claire?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
