Some moments are just timeless. Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Outlander Moments.

For this list, we’ll be looking at the most powerful moments from this hit series. We will be talking about major plot points so this is your spoiler alert!

#10: Jamie & Claire Say Goodbye to Ian
“Man of Worth”


We’re sorry to hit you with an emotional scene right off the bat, but sometimes the most powerful moments come from difficult circumstances. The Frasers finally find Roger after being taken by the Mohawk, but they won’t give him back without a trade. Ian decides to sacrifice his own freedom so that Roger can go back to Brianna, and easily earns himself the best cousin award. It’s a huge sacrifice, and seeing Jamie and Claire tearfully say goodbye to the brave boy is an added punch in the gut. It’s a heartbreaking moment, especially when Ian and Jamie give their final hug and we’re reminded of how strong their bond is.

#9: Claire Travels Through Time for the First Time
“Sassenach”


The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, or in this case, one stumble through magic stones. This was the moment that started everything, and even though she didn’t immediately land on her feet, it led Claire to Jamie and a life full of adventure. The adventure starts immediately after she wakes up at the foot of the stones with Red Coats and Kilted Scots running around, and guns firing. We also love the monologue where Claire eloquently compares the fall through the stones to being in a car accident– it certainly has the same level of chaos.

#8: Prison Escape
“To Ransom and Man’s Soul”


When Jamie was captured and put into Wentworth Prison with Jack Black Randall as his warden, everyone knew he was in deep trouble. In order to get him out, it took his loyal friends, Claire, creativity and Jamie’s own resolve. Seeing Jamie get tortured is pretty harrowing to watch, but it makes his escape that much more satisfying. It was especially gratifying when Jack gets stampeded by a herd of cattle. Seeing everyone rally together to save Jamie is beautiful, and even though the prison leaves him emotionally and physically scarred, it’s an important part of his story and brings him closer to Claire.

#7: Brianna & Roger’s Wedding
“The Fiery Cross”


After all they’ve been through together and apart, it’s nice to see them finally come together and tie the knot. It’s a beautiful occasion, Roger and Brianna are glowing, and can we just take a moment to appreciate how Jamie gets his daughter ready for the big day? He gives her his mother’s pearls, all the traditional things like something blue, and he does everything he can to show how much he loves her. Is someone cutting onions here? It’s the most important wedding since Claire and Jamie’s all those years ago, and we are here for it!

#6: The Witch Trial
“The Devil’s Mark”


Claire has gotten herself into a lot of tricky situations over the years, and she almost didn’t escape this one. While Jamie is gone, Claire and Geillis are accused of witchcraft, which was a very dangerous accusation back in the 18th century. Things are looking pretty bleak for Claire, until Jamie comes in swords blazing– a truly swoon-worthy moment if we’ve ever seen one! The trial and subsequent rescue gives Claire the confidence to tell Jamie the truth about the whole time travel thing and her husband Frank, and ultimately brings them closer together.

#5: Island Reunion
“Uncharted”


Two lovers running into each other's arms on the beach is a common scene in romance, but Jamie and Claire had a unique way of getting there. After Claire gets kidnapped by the British navy to treat a ship full of Typhoid, she jumps from the ship and eventually gets washed up on the shore. She spends several days searching for Jamie and doing all she can to survive on her own, encountering many terrifying obstacles along the way. By the end, seeing them reunite is a relief, and gives our hearts a much needed break. Just seeing how relieved they are to be in each other’s arms again is enough to give you the warm fuzzies.

#4: Roger & Brianna Reunite
“Man of Worth”


What can we say, we love a good reunion! In this case, it’s Roger and Brianna who are apart for almost a year, and each of them go through hell. Brianna is raped by Stephen Bonnet and has a baby, while Roger is beaten, by Jamie no less, and traded to the Mohawk. Their relationship was up in the air for a while, but in this moment, we know everything will be okay and that true love conquers all. While apart, they realize they are stronger together, and we hope it stays that way!

#3: Brianna Finds Jamie
“The Birds & The Bees”


There is a lot of significance rolled into this scene that manages to make us both laugh and cry. This is the moment that Bree meets her biological father face to face.They were separated by 200 years, but through the magic of the stones they finally meet, and what a meeting it is. Of course Jamie happens to be peeing on a wall when his daughter finds him, but the moment quickly becomes emotional when she reveals who she is. We collectively lose it when Jamie calls Brianna his babe, and watching them finally hug for the first time puts this moment over the emotional edge.

#2: Jamie & Claire’s Wedding
“The Wedding”


Just like Claire wouldn’t have met Jamie without first falling through the stones, she may have never let herself love him without being forced to marry him. It’s not a modern fairytale situation, but we love how Jamie does everything to make her happy, and shows how thoughtful he is. He hunts down her gorgeous dress, has a ring made and he tenderly guides her through the traditional Scottish wedding ceremony. The wedding night brings them even closer together both physically and emotionally, since they talk and bond before getting to the steamier part of the evening. (xref - wedding night) Sometimes the best things in life require a little push.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

Claire's Red Versailles Dress Revealed
“Not in Scotland Anymore”

Drunk Claire
“Uncharted”

Murtagh is Alive
“Savages”

Jamie & Black Jack Duel
“Best Laid Schemes…”

Claire’s New Ring
“Blood of My Blood”

#1: Their Reunion After 20 Years
“A. Malcolm”


These two were apart for 20 long years, but for us it felt like a lot longer. After Claire realizes Jamie was alive, she travels back through the stones again to find him. When she finally walks into his printshop, Jamie is so overcome with emotion that he faints. Once he wakes up, we get to witness the satisfying reunion we’ve been waiting for, full of emotion and a kiss that was two decades in the making. Clearly the years apart didn’t dim their love, but we’d appreciate it if they weren’t separated for that long ever again!
