The premiere of the third season showed Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) finding himself at the mercy of unforgiving British victors after living through the Battle of Culloden. But somehow a connection from his past provides his only hope of survival.
Meanwhile, a pregnant Claire (Caitriona Balfe) attempts to adjust to life in the modern world of 1940s' Boston, and life with her husband Frank (Tobias Menzies).
The trailer for the second episode — titled "Surrender" — reveals that Jamie is back in Lallybroch but stays undercover to avoid the British. He seems to be depressed, having become estranged from his family.
Jaime's sister Jenny (Laura Donnelly) is really concerned about his brother. She asks: "How long's it been since you've lain with a woman, Jaime?" Although, she doesn't wait for the answer as she continues: "It's been six years now."
Meanwhile, back in the future, Claire is struggling to find happiness with her husband Frank and newborn daughter baby Bree. In the trailer, Frank says: "Claire, when I'm with you, I'm with you. But, you're with him [Jaime]."
The official synopsis of Outlander Season 3 Episode 2 reads:
Hiding in an isolated cave, Jamie leads a lonely life until Lallybroch is threatened by redcoats pursuing the elusive Jacobite traitor known as "Red Jamie." Back in Boston, Claire and Frank struggle to coexist in a marriage haunted by the ghost of Jamie's love.
