"As foreshadowed at the start of the season, Jamie - who read about his own demise in Frank's history book - was indeed killed in the Battle of King's Mountain. Heartbroken, Claire lies by his body all day and night. She almost appears to die by his side after one dramatic exhale. "He is her home," Balfe told Entertainment Weekly, likening the scene to Romeo and Juliet."
"But unlike those star-crossed lovers, Jamie and Claire get a second chance to change their fate. After a full-circle sequence that revisits their journey thus far, starting with Jamie's apparent ghost watching Claire in Inverness, then causing forget-me-nots to bloom at Craigh na Dun, the two simultaneously gasp awake (er, alive). The hopeful moment immediately cuts to black, so viewers don't get to linger on the specifics of what happened."
""I'm not sure that I fully understand the ending," Balfe told EW. "I don't really know what happened, but I thought it was really cool that they went and did the Jamie ghost thing again, and that in some way, maybe, he was calling her, or he pulled her into his orbit. But as to what happens when they're lying on the stone, I don't know.""
"It does seem, at least, that Claire has reached the healing potential foretold by Adawehi's dream in Season 4, which predicted that when Claire's hair is "white like snow," she will have "wisdom beyond time." In those final moments of Outlander, Claire's hair is suddenly pure white."
