SAM HEUGHAN in OUTLANDER (2026) 810 Bonus Official Stills!

Starz just posted these last official stills, which were obviously missing from the previous set due to massive spoilers. I was starting to think they were saving them for something else, oh well.

I’m not done with Outlander yet, more to come! Thanks so much for reading this blog! ❤️🤍💙

OUTLANDER (2026) 10 810 Cross Stitch

In the Limbo between life and death that Claire created with her La Dame Blanche power, Jamie suddenly got the chance to be a ghost.

Upon discovering he could time travel in this form, he decided he wanted to see Claire before she went to the stones like The Woman of Balnain. In the town of Inverness on All Hallow's Eve in 1946, he could see her in the window of the inn. Jamie smiled, because Claire looked as beautiful as she ever did. It was a privilege to see her like this. However, he never expected himself to be seen, let alone confronted by Frank, and that rattled him even as a spirit.

His thoughts next took him to the ancient circle of standing stones of Craigh na Dun. In this form, he could hear the buzzing as described by his family. There was a gemstone in his brooch. He could hear all of his time traveling clan in the buzzing, and in that moment he knew his granddaughter Frances had the ability. Dare he touch one? Doing so connected him to Claire even more. There were things you could kent with your soul that you could not with your body or mind.

Claire had said she had gone to look for blue flowers. Blue, the rarest colour in nature. As he withdrew his hand from the stone and walked away, fading back into Limbo, he caused some forget-me-nots to grow at the base, knowing Claire would touch it and come back to him.

He relived his life with Claire. His Sassenach.

A Stitch in Time may save Nine.

The fabric would be mended.

Jamie heard Claire suck in a breath.

SAM HEUGHAN in OUTLANDER (2026) 810 Final Official Stills, BTS Video from STARZ, Paley Center

More than a month later I'm still thinking about the TV finale so before I post the last 810 story segment, here are the remainder of the official Jamie photos, a final BTS video from STARZ, and The Paley Center celebration.

Yes, I am deeply mourning the end of seeing Sam play Jamie Fraser. It’s terrible he never received any award recognition for his tremendous performance.

I don't know how I'm going to emotionally manage to read Diana's final book, but obviously, I will. I think she'll do a more satisfying job of wrapping the story since words on a page are limitless and inexpensive.

I think I’ll still have more to say about Series 8 and the finale. There’s also Lord John Grey to address.

Happy Independence Day, America! 🇺🇸

OUTLANDER (2026) 09 810 An Echo in the Bone

Under an unforgiving pearl grey sky British Major Patrick Ferguson, in a final act of defiance, shot him with a hidden pistol. Jamie dropped his sword in shock and stared at him, then at Ian Og who was looking at him with the same shock he felt. The shot vibrated his body as he fell to his knees. He could feel the lifeblood ebbing from the shot hole, and could not do a damn thing to stop it from coming out there or his mouth.

He thought he saw Buck and Josiah in front of him; he fell onto rock; he heard multiple answering shots killing the blackguard redcoat absolutely dead.

"Ahh, dinnae fash," he faintly told Claire when she frantically got there and saw the damage. "I'm not afraid." He felt her lift him up in her arms. It was only where he ever wanted to be since that night on the road in Scotland. He'd been injured then, too.

"Forgive me… Sassenach," he said weakly, looking up at her in the same way he did all those years ago, time echoing in their hearts and bones. He felt her anguish, saw and heard her begging him not to go but he did not know how to stop it, closed his eyes so he could better see The Way…

OUTLANDER (2026) 08 810 A Breath of Snow and Ashes

As Jamie fought his way up Kings Mountain, all he could hear was screaming, gunshots, and Ferguson's damn whistle. Fraser's Ridge men followed closely, and he looked around for the British Major on a white horse as they forced through their line. The whistle made it easy to find him and once within range, Jamie aimed a pistol at the Major but was forced to fire elsewhere, saving Buck. There was still a lot of skirmishing and Jamie ran towards the last place he saw Ferguson. As he warily approached the mountain top, it looked like the fighting was over, with the rebels winning the day just as Frank had written. Jamie, however, was still standing, and then he saw Claire coming towards him. Was it really over?

Just as he was about to walk towards her, a British rider came fast out of the smoke. Jamie turned at the same time Claire screamed and met the charge square with his sword, slicing through and unseating the soldier, who turned out to be Major Ferguson, whom the rebels dragged away. Jamie was unscathed and called to Claire, who didn't seem to believe it, but he was.

"It's over! Sassenach." She came running to him and they joyfully embraced with relief. Was it really over? In that moment, Claire declared Frank was wrong and Jamie was never happier about that. The field was theirs. Amidst the death and destruction of battle, they kissed.

Though jubilant, there were still injured and wounded men that Doctor Fraser needed to tend. Jamie kissed her hand, still hardly believing it was over, and let her go. He had some words for Patrick Ferguson.

The celebration on top of the mountain was loud and boisterous. The cool, crisp air under a gray sky had the clean scent of snow coming, dispersing the smoke and ash of fire. Jamie gladly saw his kin and friends unharmed. "Victory is ours!" he shouted to the men, who cheered in return. Only one thing remained: formal British surrender. He saw Ferguson on the ground by a rock, walked over, pointed his sword, and demanded it of him.

"I will never surrender," he growled, suddenly pulling out a hidden pistol and shooting Jamie point blank in the heart.

OUTLANDER (2026) 07 810 Drums of Autumn

Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780

As per usual, the day dawned. Jamie handed Roger Mac a cross so no one would shoot him, from the front anyway. Both he and Claire needed to stay at camp and come in after, when folk would need them. Jamie looked around at the men once again, nodded to Ian Og in his Mohawk war paint, took his rifle, and led them out.

Jamie had one more speech to give to the freedom fighters of Fraser's Ridge: We've come a long way, lads, and we've a wee bit further to go. As we stand on the brink of battle, let us be thankful for the breath still in our bodies. For the strength still in our bones. For the courage we will find within us. Let our hearts be ablaze, never with fury or fear or hatred, but the desire to fight and fight well. Not for gold or glory, but for our families. And for freedom.

In conclusion, he asked Minister Roger Mac to bless them. Jamie crossed himself in the Catholic manner, and sent the men off.

"Look after her, Roger Mac," he asked, standing beside Claire. "Pray for me." He turned to her. "Tha gradh agam ort, mo chridhe." I love you, my heart. She answered the same, in mangled Gaidhlig but his heart swelled all the more at hearing his native tongue from her lips. He kissed her once more, put on his hat, and formally bowed to her before heading off.

The battle itself went surprisingly much like The Book described, right down to Ferguson's damnable whistle, calling his men like dogs. Jamie didn't have as fine an education as Claire or Frank, but over the course of his life, he well learned things never taught in a school, like effective warfare. That knowledge was saving many lives today, as were Brianna's modified rifles. They went steadily firing up the mountain until Jamie drew his sword and ordered a charge. The two sides clashed. He'd spent his whole life doing exactly this: fighting Redcoats. He wasn't about to be beaten now.

OUTLANDER (2026) 06 810 Voyager

When Jamie rounded a tent corner, he saw Claire standing by the gurgling creek. The endlessly rushing waters reminded Jamie how far he had gone for Claire, for his family and friends, the voyages he had endured.

"Can you forgive me? Am I betraying ye, by coming here?" "Only if you die."

Jamie told Claire what he had learned from Mandy, who could hear animals and other travelers, that wee Davy might not be able to stone travel since his colour was water, like Jamie's, and not like the rest of her family. He would verra much like to see them again.

He'd written his Will, but not this part. Jamie grasped Claire's hand. "If I die tomorrow, I'll ask three things of ye, a nighean. Three things I want. Will ye give them to me?" "If it's within my power, you know I will," Claire replied, looking worrit. "Aye, I do."

"When ye can, find a priest and have a Mass said for my soul." "Done. Though it may take some time." "I'll grin and abide my time in Purgatory til ye manage. I've been there before; it's no sae bad." She looked at him as if trying to decide if he was joking. He was not.

Second thing? He told Claire, if he was dead, take everyone who can and go back to your own time. Claire said she could not promise this. Her home was here now. She would want to be able to feel him all around her even if he were gone. If wee Davy couldn't travel, Claire said Bree would never leave him behind, not even with Ian and Rachel. "I love you with all my heart, and I can't keep you safe," Claire said.

Third thing? "Remember me."

Jamie kissed Claire and that turned into making love like they were sailing towards the end of the world.

OUTLANDER (2026) 05 810 A Blessing For A Warrior Going Out

The last thing Jamie did before leaving his Fraser's Ridge home was speak with Claire's bees. It was a blessing to finally do so. He thought he said what he needed. Resolved, he put on his hat, walked to his horse, and rode with Claire and his men off the Ridge towards Kings Mountain. As they passed the church that served as the Masons Lodge meeting house, he saluted the flag of the new nation that proudly flew over the door. An American nation.

At the crossroad, Jamie's war party joined the larger one led by Benjamin Cleveland. Their combined companies would meet up with other groups staged at the foot of Kings Mountain. According to Claire's knowledge of history, this was the last major back country battle before the British surrender. Jamie intended for history to run true. Claire just wanted to go home. "I'm not afraid of dying," he told her. "I'm afraid of not seeing my home again." "We will see the Ridge again," Claire responded with a small smile. Jamie nodded in agreement and turned his attention back to the task at hand.

Nine times, the auld fortuneteller woman in Paris had told him many years ago. He would die nine times before his death. So far, he'd been able to make every fight count. This one would be no different. He told Ian to settle the men and went to speak with Cleveland, who said the British were on the high ground. From Frank's book Jamie had had a chance to change that but chose not to because he believed in Claire's history. Had he known, Cleveland would've called him a damned fool for not taking the advantage. But he didn't, and believed the British were in a rat trap at the top, they could just pick them off since numbers were roughly equal. He looked around at the men. Some of them would die. It was harsh thinking but he intended on only changing that one book fact about himself, if he could. His small, insignificant life, as Claire had called it.
