Outlander Season 6 Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning! Spoilers Ahead for the Outlander season 6 finale and beyond.
In a suspenseful final episode, the Outlander season 6 ending left much to be explained. Based on the best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander season 6 is based on Gabaldon’s A Breath of Snow and Ashes, but due to filming restrictions during the pandemic, Outlander season 6 got shortened to eight episodes, with the show’s creative team opting to push several of the book’s biggest plot lines to next season. While one may have expected the Outlander season 6 ending to be a disappointment because of this, the action-packed yet intimate finale was nothing short of gripping.
Picking up right where the previous episode left off, the Outlander season 6 finale begins with Richard Brown’s (Chris Larkin) safety committee arriving to collect Claire (Caitriona Balfe) for trial. Brown sends a man to sneak into the house and kidnap Claire, but Claire shoots the man, setting off a fire-fight that leads to Claire and Jamie (Sam Heughan) barricaded in their home for the night. Soon the settlers of Fraser’s Ridge arrive demanding Claire stand trial for Malva’s murder, and Claire and Jamie surrender with the rest of the episode spent detailing their journey to Wilmington. Meanwhile, another journey is taking place, with Bree (Sophie Skelton), Roger (Richard Rankin), and Jemmy (Andrew and Matthew Adair) on their way to Roger’s seminary school, when, along the way, Jemmy’s lice-induced haircut answers the seasons-long mystery surrounding the identity of Jemmy’s true father.
