Outlander‘s series finale left Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) ending open to interpretation with the episode’s closing moments.

After getting shot amid the battle at Kings Mountain, Jamie lay dying upon the summit, and as Claire rushed to his side, his eyes closed, and he went on a journey as a ghost, revisiting the moment from Season 1 that fans have long pondered about his presence outside Claire’s Inverness window in the 1940s. Spotted by her first husband, Frank (Tobias Menzies), Jamie’s disappearance from that point in time led him to the standing stones of Craigh Na Dun, implying that his ghost’s presence was responsible for the forget-me-not flowers that Claire went in search of so many years ago, ultimately prompting her trip back in time from the 20th century to 1740s Scotland.

As the finale showcased, Claire lay beside her husband’s body, seemingly breathing out a final breath herself as she wrapped around him. In the closing seconds of the installment, they both opened their eyes and seemingly gasped back to life. But did they really survive? Below, we’re outlining the details that prove they did awaken to continue their lives in 1770s America.
