5 best Claire moments in the Outlander Season 4 premiere

2. Being there for Jamie

Shortly after this, the husband and wife pulled off to camp for the night. In that moment, Claire was just there for her husband. While Claire was friends with Hayes too, the execution affected Jamie more and Claire made sure that he had everything he needed mentally.

This did lead to the sex scene, which was supposed to be a consolation for the lack of “slippery rock scene” later. Whether it worked or not, it wasn’t actually the scene that I loved. It was the meaning behind this scene. Claire offered her body knowing that Jamie needed this physical intimacy.

1. The stolen ring

There was plenty of talk of rings throughout the Outlander Season 4 premiere and it all led to the end moment. Before I discuss why the ending was one of my favorites for Claire’s character (I told you they weren’t all happy moments), I want to bring up the moment when Jamie gives Claire the medicine cabinet. The subject of the ring comes up and Claire shares what it means to her.

That makes the ending scene all the more heartbreaking for her. She doesn’t want to lose either ring, in a way, but she definitely doesn’t want to lose Jamie’s. When she spits out the ring left behind, she crumbles, realizing that Jamie’s ring was the one taken.

That ring meant the world and it connects back to the Outlander Season 2 premiere when she just couldn’t remove it when Frank wanted to burn everything from the 18th century. Losing it means losing that physical bond between Jamie and Claire.
