WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Outlander season 7 and the Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon

Following its highly-anticipated return, Outlander season seven is now in full force with Claire Fraser (played by Caitríona Balfe) finally freed in the most recent episode.

The 20th century time traveller faced trial for the murder of Malva Christie (Jessica Reynolds) and even the prospect of the noose for a crime she didn’t commit.

Instead, Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones) falsely confessed to the crime and meant Claire was released.

What happens to Tom Christie in the Outlander books?

Tom and Claire had a heart-to-heart as he confessed his love for her and this was his reason for laying down his life for him.

Moreover, Tom knew Claire hadn’t killed his daughter Malva despite the evidence again the doctor.

While Tom’s fate seemed uncertain in the show with the character taken into custody, Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels gives some clues as to his fate.

Tom was eventually released and later worked as a preacher and continued to preach the word of God.

He also said he wrote the obituary, which brought Brianna MacKenzie (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) back to the past.

The obituary documented the fire at Fraser’s Ridge and wrongly reported everyone had died.

This article meant Claire and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) could obtain new identities and start a new life in Scotland should they wish to do so.

Tom was still very much in unrequited love with Claire but knew nothing would happen between them.

The obituary is important to Outlander and will come into play with the recent explosion in episode two of season seven.

The instalment titled The Happiest Place on Earth ended with Wendigo Donner (Brennan Martin) and his henchmen inadvertently causing an explosion at Fraser’s Ridge in their search for gem stones.

Viewers were left on a huge cliffhanger as a huge explosion occurred at the Ridge with the house going up in flames.

Fans will have to tune in next week to see what happens and the fate of all the characters.
