But as he was preparing to join his wife, Jamie was shipwrecked. A terrible announcement that almost destroyed Claire. However, in a twist of the sort that only Jamie can achieve, he has returned, alive and well, to Philadelphia! He was late and therefore had to take another boat, thus escaping death! While Claire and John are of course very relieved, they will now have to explain to Jamie that not only have they gotten married, but they have also consummated the marriage.

In an interview with Télé-Loisirs, actress Caitriona Balfe spoke about the intimate scene between Claire and John, which occurred in episode 11 of season 7 ofOutlander.

John Gray is also in mourning. And the two end up sharing their pain and anger in bed. An unusual scene for Caitriona Balfe, who is more used to filming intimate sequences with Sam Heughan than with David Berry, the interpreter of John Grey.
“It was a challenge” : Caitriona Balfe opens up about filming the intimate scene between Claire and John
“Working with David Berry was great, Caitriona Balfe told us. Of course, Sam and I have shot so many scenes together since the beginning, we know each other so well, but to have to do this with someone new, it was a challenge. And David was great. We also worked with Vanessa Coffey, our Intimacy Coordinator. It was great to be able to find that journey for these two characters who are in so much pain and need comfort. And to find out what that meant and how it would manifest, when it’s not about pleasure or sex, but about pain and comfort.”
