Eventually, Jamie and Claire surrendered — agreeing to be judged for their alleged crimes in a court of law. The couple were later forcibly separated on the journey to Wilmington, North Carolina. Brown’s orders were to put Jamie on a boat back to Scotland and to deliver Claire to Wilmington for a public hanging.
But thanks to John Bell’s character, Ian Murray, and a few Cherokee Indians, Jamie was rescued from his captors. The final frame of the season shows the group bound for Wilmington on horseback.
