In the first episode of Season 1, Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and her husband Frank (Tobias Menzies) are visiting Scotland in 1946 when she gets sent back in time to the 18th century. Stuck in a world where a war between the Clans and the English army makes life dangerous for everyone, Claire is rescued by Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) of Clan MacKenzie and brought to Castle Leoch, where she finds out they suspect her of being a spy. Despite their doubts about her loyalty, the Clan accepts Claire as one of their own because of her knowledge as a healer, as she used to be a nurse during World War II, and Jamie ends up offering to marry her to protect her from an English Captain who happens to be her husband's ancestor.
