Outlander
Trigger Warning : This clause contains discussions of miscarriage and infant loss .
Outlanderseason 7 dropped a massive twist regarding Faith Fraser ’s character , and , at this point , all we can do is theorize how it will all exercise out in season 8 . Of course , given the nature of this plot of ground twist , it ’s challenging to come up with an account that does n’t seem entirely outlandish . Claire ’s belief that her stillborn daughter , Faith Fraser , somehow lived is somewhat extortionate on its own . Whatever explanationOutlanderseason 8 comes up with will have to be equally as wild — so the sky is the point of accumulation when it comes to develop theories for how Faith might have subsist .
Claire give birth to her daughterFaith back inOutlanderseason 2 . Jamie had duel with Jack Black Randall , which upset Claire so much that she went into preterm travail . The infant was stillborn , and Claire was left totally devastate . She almost break herself from infection , but Master Raymond appeared to heal her . Now , inOutlanderseason 7 , Claire wasvisited in a aspiration by Master Raymond , who provided the first hints thatFaith had somehow populate on to have two children , Jane and Fanny .

It Might All Come Back To Prince Charlie Stuart (Again)
While in France inOutlanderseason 2 , Claire made a friend . Marie Louise de la Tour was also fraught , though her unborn child was the whoreson of none other than the bonnie Prince Charlie , the Scots heir the Jacobites target to place on the throne . Louise amount to gossip Claire following her miscarriageand was the one who in the end took the infant ’s body from her mother to be bury .
Loise appeared visibly pregnant when she arrive to Claire ’s bedside inOutlanderseason 2 and was run into instinctively maintain her belly as she sadly watch Claire mourn her daughter . However , a large possibility is thatLouise had already given birth to her baby and that this was the at peace baby in Claire ’s weapon system .

Claire May Have Lost Two Children That Day
Claire was in and out of consciousness when she give birth to Faith . When she awaken up , Mother Hildegarde told her that the infant had been born dead , but Claire herself had no memory of this . The fact that Claire could only commit what she was told opens the door to more hypothesis . For all Claire recognise , she could have have birth to multiple sister . In the 18th century , there would have been no way for Claire to know she was impart Gemini . to boot , a pregnancy with multiples would further explain Claire ’s preterm labor .
If Claire had twins inOutlanderseason 2 , then the deceased infant she held in her sleeve could truly be entomb in France . It would be the surviving twin that grew up to give birth to Jane and Fanny Pocock . Of course , this leaves the self-aggrandising question ofwhyMother Hildegarde would dwell to Claire . Additionally , it ’s unclear why the come through baby would be named after the baby bury in France or how she would add up to bonk the song " I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside .

Regardless of how Claire ’s baby came to be alive , a significant part of the mystery here is where andwhenshe grew up . InOutlanderseason 2 , Claire sang the 20th - C vocal " I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside " to her at rest daughter , and Fanny Pocock tattle this same song is what breathe in Claire ’s time of year 7 theory .

What ’s more , as a untimely infant , it make water lilliputian sense that Faith could have survived in 18th - century France , even if Master Raymond manage to renovate her .
As a untimely sister , it makes short sense that Faith could have go in 18th - one C France , even if Master Raymond managed to revive her .

2Faith Fraser Becomes Geillis Duncan
She Is A Time Traveler After All
Another prominent but exclusively raging theory amongOutlanderfans is that Faith Fraser and Geillis Duncan are one and the same someone . They do , after all , share some similarities .

Perhaps Master Raymond impart the baby back from the dead and brought her to the future , where she was raise in the 20th 100 before she finally typeset off on her time - traveling adventure to assist the Jacobite cause .

He Could Be Deceiving Claire
At the death ofOutlanderseason 7 , it ’s heavily implied that Claire ’s big theory about Faith ’s selection is correct .

Master Raymond is a time - traveling marionette master , and he may only be manipulating Claire inOutlanderseason 7 to assure that she does what he wants . His goal would surely be to inspire Claire to embrace her healing powerssince it has been eld since she learned of them but has n’t yet practise this magic . Still , exactly why it ’s important to Master Raymond that Claire learns to heal is unclear . Like with every other wildOutlandertheory , it will take time of year 8 to prove or disprove .
