Outlander has put Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) through the wringer over its eight seasons. We’ve lost count of how many times they’ve been on death’s doorstep. They’ve been separated by time travel. They’ve accidentally married another person, thinking that their spouse was dead. The list goes on. But one thing we can always know to be true is that Jamie and Claire’s love will hold strong no matter what — but that doesn’t guarantee a happy ending. (Warning: Spoilers for Outlander Season 8 Episodes 1-8 ahead!)

Throughout the Starz drama’s eighth and final season, Jamie’s fate has been hanging in the balance, courtesy of Frank (Tobias Menzies) from beyond the grave. At the beginning of the season, Jamie and Claire’s daughter, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), returns to the past from the future with Frank’s book about the Scots’ role in the American Revolution. Frank name-drops Jamie as one of the fighters at the Battle of King’s Mountain, revealing that he’s likely to die. It’s not clear if Frank’s telling the truth. Could he be bitter about Jamie and Claire’s relationship and trying to manipulate history?
