Quick recap

In 1945, nurse Claire Randall is honeymooning with her husband, Frank, in Inverness. When she touches a stone at Craigh na Dun, she wakes up in 1743, in the middle of a skirmish between Scots and English soldiers. The MacKenzies take her to Castle Leoch, where she becomes a healer and a suspected spy. To escape Captain Black Jack Randall, Frank's ancestor, Claire marries young Jamie Fraser. She survives a witch trial thanks to Geillis Duncan, another traveler from the future, and chooses to stay with Jamie. When Jamie is locked up at Wentworth, Claire and their allies break him out, but Randall leaves him badly hurt. The season ends with the two of them sailing to France and Claire revealing she's pregnant.
