Outlander Spoilers: Claire Faces 'Life-Altering' Choice in Episode 8

Married to two men at once, time-travelling Claire (Caitriona Balfe) was forced to make a "life-altering" choice in Episode 8 of the "Outlander" mid-season finale on Sept. 27.

Titled "Both Sides Now," the episode saw Claire trying to come to terms with being the wife of Jamie (Sam Heughan).

In Episode 7, Claire and Jamie were married to keep her safe from Capt. Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies).

Saturday's episode showed what Claire's first husband Frank (also Tobias Menzies) had been up to since Claire disappeared. Frank went on a frantic search for his wife. He was told that she ran off with another man, but Frank refused to believe this.

Claire, on the other hand, was being emotionally tormented by the fact that she was married to two men. Her wedding with Jamie temporarily distracted her, but she knew she had to make a choice if she ever wanted to return to the 1940s.

Who did she ultimately choose? Jamie or Frank? Her decision could affect one of her marriages, and her life, for a long time.

"Outlander" will not be back for several months after its mid-season finale. According to TV Line, the highly anticipated Starz series, which was adapted on Diana Gabaldon's novel of the same name, will have one new character in Season 2. She is Bree (Brianna Randall), Jamie and Claire's 20-year-old daughter.

The spoiler report by Sam Heughan says Bree is a "smart, strong-minded, practical, funny and stunningly beautiful" woman who was raised in Boston and who calls Frank Randall her dad.

Bree will add more emotional tension in Season 2 which, sources say, will begin with her father Jamie being fatally injured.

"As book readers know, Jamie suffers some spirit- and body-crushing injuries toward the end of the novel. As such ...viewers of the Starz adaptation should brace themselves," Heughan says.

"It just gets stronger and stronger in the last few episodes - not just Wentworth Prison, which is very intense and I'm very pleased with how it's come out. I think it's going to be some insane viewing," he adds.
