Will (Spoiler) Die After Being Shot on 'Outlander'? Author Diana Gabaldon Weighs in on the Shocking Event (Exclusive)

A random bullet may end the love story of Jamie and Claire Fraser on 'Outlander.'

Paulette Cohn

7 hours ago

The life-and-death drama of the Revolutionary War continues in the “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood” episode of Outlander as both Claire (Caitríona Balfe) and William (Charles Vandervaart) find themselves in jeopardy.

The night before the Battle of Monmouth, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire have an intimate conversation about the inevitably of war and death, after which he is ready to go into battle and just when it seems that the skirmish is over, Jamie is safe, and the British are retreating, Captain Leckie (Ben Cura), who initially kicked Claire out of the church-based hospital, finally admits that Claire is a fine surgeon and asks her to come inside to safety.

But Claire, who has been tending to the wounded outside, declines saying, “I have an obligation to these men, and I won’t leave them here to die.”

As the Redcoats are passing the hospital area, a few take exception to the jeers from the revolutionaries and fire on the hospital area, where Claire is standing.

Jamie and his men are on their way to protect the hospital so he is close enough to see when the love of his life take a bullet and he can't do anything to prevent it. Of course, Captain Leckie isn’t up to the job of saving Claire. He doesn’t have Claire’s training, so Jamie, who for once must depend on others to try to save her life, calls for Denzel Hunter (Joey Phillips) to return to care for Claire. He knows Claire has trained Denzel in more modern techniques. But will it be enough?

“Well, here (again) we run into the limitations of TV—time, in this case,” bestselling author Diana Gabaldon tells Parade. “In the book version, we get to see both Jamie’s and Claire’s POV’s, and also see Jamie’s absolute desperation when faced with something he can’t overpower, or even fight. But fight he will, because there’s nothing else to do. He gets Denzell Hunter, in the process brushing off the call of duty (in the form of General Lee’s command), because to him, there’s no duty stronger than his to Claire. He’s risking both his liberty and his neck—he could be hanged for desertion in the face of the enemy, and he’s foreswearing his oath to the Army. And if Claire dies, that sacrifice (of reputation and probably his life) will have been in vain, but he makes it without hesitation.”

In fact, Jamie resigns his commission as general in the army on the back of General Lee’s messenger in blood, which could be where the title “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood” comes from.

In the meanwhile, Lord John (David Berry) and Young Ian (John Bell) race to save William, who is in the clutches of a band of Hessians that have been instructed by the devious Captain Richardson (Ben Lambert) to hold him prisoner, so he can use him as a pawn. Jamie is unable to accompany them because he has to lead his 300 men into battle.

So, Lord John gets to show his heroic side here when he and Ian go to rescue William, which they successfully do, but more than that, when William, after forgiving Lord John for lying to him about his parentage, disses Jamie, Lord John defends Jamie to William.

“It’s sort of classic John,” Gabaldon says. “He’s not only being selfless, he’s being concerned for both William and Jamie. His sense of fairness (plus what he knows that William doesn’t…) makes him defend Jamie, but he’s also not wanting William to think badly of his (unsuspected) father.”

Also, during Lord John and Ian’s confrontation with the Hessians, Ian lets one of the men live, trying to be the man that Rachel (Izzy Meikle-Small) wants him to be. But then he trails him and kills him, so he won't be sorry later that he let him live.

“Again, somewhat different than the book,” Gabaldon explains. “Per the book, Rachel never tries to make him be what he’s not; she knows who he is, and takes him on his own terms, though she regrets the spiritual damage he may do to himself.

“Also, per book, it isn’t a Hessian soldier that he kills; it’s an Abenaki warrior (employed by the British Army) who (with a comrade) has been playing a savage game of chicken with Ian throughout the battle (which the show also can’t show). By the time the battle is over, the two Abenaki have tried to kill him numerous times, and in fact, by this time, he’s been shot with an arrow, and goes around with it embedded in his shoulder for some time. (Naturally, the show hasn’t time or expense to spare in order to show this, so they changed the character (since they already had Hessians to spare) and the circumstance.)

This is (in show terms) a logical thing to do, but it lowers Ian’s emotional stake by a lot. Book Ian wouldn’t care a bit about a Hessian officer’s threat; it’s meaningless.

“Ian’s journey down this path in the book is also complicated by his encountering Lord John when both of them are taken captive by the Americans and then rescued by the British and end up in the British camp, where Hal (Sam Hoare) finds John and takes care of him. Ian declines the offered hospitality and sets off on foot to return to the American side. On the way out of camp, he passes the surviving Abenaki (he killed the other one during an earlier skirmish), sitting by a fire.”

(per book…)

“…As Murray pressed the blade against the other man’s throat, it belatedly occurred to Grey that Murray might really intend to kill him. The men around him certainly thought so; there was a universal gasp as Murray drew the blade across his enemy’s throat.

“The momentary silence engendered by this was enough for most of the assembled to hear Murray say, with a noticeable effort, “I give you back your life!” He rose off the Indian’s body, swaying and staring as though blind drunk himself, and hurled the knife into the darkness—causing considerable consternation and not a little cursing among those in whose direction he’d hurled it.

“In the excitement, most of the crowd likely didn’t hear the Indian’s reply, but Grey and André did. He sat up, very slowly, hands shaking as they pressed a fold of his shirt to the shallow cut across his throat, and said, in an almost conversational tone, “You will regret that, Mohawk.”

“Murray was breathing like a winded horse, his ribs visible with each gasp. Most of the paint had gone from his face; there were long smears of red and black down his glistening chest, and only a horizontal streak of some dark color remained across his cheekbones—that and a smudge of white on the point of his shoulder, above the arrow wound.

“He nodded to himself, once, then twice. And, without haste, stepped back into the circle of firelight, picked up a tomahawk that was lying on the ground, and, swinging it high with both hands, brought it down on the Indian’s skull. The sound froze Grey to the marrow and silenced every man present. Murray stood still for a moment, breathing heavily, then walked away. As he passed Grey, he turned his head and said, in a perfectly conversational tone of voice, “He’s right. I would have,” before disappearing into the night.”

Gabaldon then continues, “OK, this encounter in itself is brief (in film as well as book terms), but it would require us seeing what came before, in terms of Ian’s in-and-out with the two Indians during the battle—and as noted, the show just doesn’t have the resources to do another major battle (they having done both battles of Saratoga at the beginning of the season), especially in terms of time.

“Bottom line is that this whole segment of the book (and to some extent, the show) is a meditation on Duty. What each person involved considers to be their duty, and how far they’ll go to fulfill it. We see it close up with regard to Claire (who stays at her post under fire, in order to care for the wounded) and Jamie (who’s forced to choose between his duty to his men and the army, and his duty to Claire)—and to a much lesser extent, with Ian’s conflict between his duty to Rachel and his duty to his own sense of right.”
