2. The night together after the reunion
When it happened: Season 3, Episode 6
Any tension between Claire and Jamie? Some tension was there because of nerves and anticipation. However, it was all about reconnecting.
Why it’s the best: With Claire and Jamie now back together after 20 years, it’s time for their first night together. This is one of the best moments for a variety of reasons and the main one is the way it mimics the wedding night.
After 20 years apart, there’s plenty of apprehension and nerves at first. The two have become different people. They have new scares and new bodies. They’re different people mentally, with the events in their lives dictating who they have now become. It’s not surprising that they have that moment of nervousness and uncertainty.
That all disappears. In the way it did on the wedding night, the two are able to connect in a way they’ve never connected with anyone else. They’re the only two people who matter in the world and they don’t want anyone or anything to tear them apart again.
After the initial quick fumble in the sheets, they move onto one of the most passionate nights they will ever have together. They’re not just reconnecting physically or mentally. Their souls are finding each other again.
