Buckle up, Sassenachs! TV Guide Magazine brings you the Ultimate Show Companion, exploring Claire and Jamie's love story for the ages. As the Starz romance prepares to air the exciting second half of Season 7, which sees Caitriona Balfe's time-traveler Claire and her Highlander husband Jamie return to their Scotland home, we break down what surprises lie ahead for the star-crossed couple. Plus, the actors share what it felt like to say goodbye to their beloved characters after Season 8's final days on set and novelist Diana Gabaldon weighs in on the beginning of the series' end, which will be here faster than you can say, "Je Suis Prest!" We also dive into the highly anticipated prequel series, Blood of My Blood, which unpacks the history of both Claire and Jamie's parents, with cast interviews and a costume designer breakdown.
