- Warning: This article contains spoilers for episode three of season seven of “Outlander.”
- Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe describe the experience of filming the fire scene at the Frasers’ home as both funny and challenging.
- The actors also discuss the exciting and tough future that awaits Claire and Jamie.
Episode three of “Outlander” continues with the intense storyline, as Jamie and Claire face the devastating loss of their home after being separated from their daughter and grandchildren.
The episode begins with the aftermath of the fire that engulfed the couple’s home, ignited by Wendigo Donner in his quest for gemstones. Jamie, Claire, and the residents of Fraser’s Ridge strive to salvage what remains of their dwelling.
When asked about their experience filming the crucial scene, Heughan and Balfe describe it as “funny.” Balfe jokes about the challenges of running with buckets of water in heavy costumes, without revealing any details about a cast member who may have struggled. Heughan’s knowing look adds to the humor.
Despite the lightheartedness on set during the challenging stunt, Heughan and Balfe, who have portrayed the iconic couple since 2014, acknowledge the emotional impact of bidding farewell to Jamie and Claire’s North Carolina home.
Balfe believes that losing the house feels like saying goodbye to a real character. Heughan reflects on the symbolic loss as the house had been a significant part of their lives as actors for several years.
The destruction of the house also marks the culmination of a season-long mystery surrounding the fate of the Frasers. As Jamie and Claire witness their home burning, they realize it is not the predicted January fire that would have claimed their lives, as revealed by their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger through an obituary found in the future.
Considering that the fire was caused by Claire’s ether and Brianna’s matches, the couple realizes they have altered their own destiny by preventing the catastrophic fire mentioned in the obituary.
However, Balfe explains that the fire serves as a catalyst for the upcoming episodes. She compares Jamie and Claire’s journey to a roadshow, similar to the early days of the series. With Fraser’s Ridge gone, their newfound homelessness propels them into a thrilling and dynamic adventure.
While the situation may be tough for them, Balfe finds it incredibly exciting. The third episode of “Outlander” season seven is available to stream on the Starz app.
