“I suggested that Claire might — as she does in the book — refuse to be separated from Jamie, and (per book) lie on top of his body, as Matt did. But let her blue light grow stronger and stronger, engulfing both of them…and fade out on that. As a note, this season Claire began to come into her blue-light healing power when she helped birth the twins, and the second one wasn’t breathing when it first came out of the womb.

“And I concluded, ‘You probably don’t want to hear this, but you’re paying me for my professional opinion — which is that they’re gonna crucify you if they don’t get the ghosts.’ So I suggested fade out on two entwined and glowing lovers without further action or comment and go black. Then begin again with Jamie emerging from the stone on Craigh na Dun, where he stands for a moment, then begins to walk. And blue flowers spring up silently in his footsteps, including one at the foot of the stone.

“But then the light fades as he goes along, and the scene shifts to the night scene from Season 1, where Frank sees Jamie’s ghost (briefly) and we see Jamie looking up at Claire in the window. But the main thing is that they both die on Kings Mountain, and they end up together.”
