Reports say that Jamie and an older Lord John Grey will cross paths again in Season 3. Grey is now the Governor of Ardsmuir Prison and he will have a huge impact on Jamie’s life.
In Gabaldon’s novels, Lord John Grey plays an integral role in Jamie’s life sans Claire. The Scot survives the Battle of Culloden but becomes a prisoner at Ardsmuir Prison where Grey now holds power.
In the novel, their budding friendships soon arrive at an awkward stage. Apparently, the closeted Governor is said to be secretly in love with Jamie.
Rumors say that fans will witness a kiss between Jamie and Lord John Grey, but showrunners have not said anything about this.
In the novels, Lord Grey also protects Jamie by marrying Isobel and becomes William’s stepfather to hide the child’s true parentage. Grey swore to prevent William and the others from knowing the truth with Jamie offering himself to the Governor in return.
Young Ian, on the other hand, is the son of Jamie’s sister Jenny and her husband Ian. Young Ian plays an important role in the lives of Jamie and Claire, especially in the fourth novel.
Young Ian’s independent spirit, curious mind, and his escapades in life will set things in motion for the couple.
“Outlander” was renewed for a third and fourth season and will adapt storylines from the third and fourth novels, “Voyager” and “Drums of Autumn,” respectively.
