The season begins with Claire locked up for a crime she didn't commit, followed by Jamie dreaming about her being hung for killing Malva. Despite being in prison, Claire highlighted her resilience and skills in medicine.
She was also taken to a ship to help Governor Martin's pregnant wife, and as expected, Claire was able to help her with her expertise in medicine. The titular character met one of her cell members Sadie Ferguson who had been held there for almost a month.
Claire asked the governor for medical supplies after she helped his wife. The governor asked Claire to make a list of the medicines, in which she also demanded her husband.
Jamie then finds his wife on the docks, and the two reunite after a long wait. Now that Claire is out with her husband, the couple has to face the challenges together.

Jamie did succeed in freeing his wife in Outlander Season 7, but it was only possible after making tough choices. As seen in the TV series, Jamie was given the option to provide military support if he wanted Claire out of the cell when she was locked.
Not only this, but later during a battle, Jamie was even asked to eliminate his uncle Simon Fraser, whom he respected. However, Jamie didn't shoot his uncle, but unintendedly, the bullet hit his son William's hat. Thankfully, William didn't get hurt and after the battle, he had a thoughtful but brie conversation with Jamie. At this point in Outlander, William didn't know Jamie was his biological father.

Since Claire was wrongly accused of Malva's murder, there has to be someone who killed her. As the season progresses, Calire's speculation about Malv being killed by her half-brother turns out to be true. Outlander season 7 made a time jump, after which Claire confronted Allan at Malva's grave.
She's devastated to learn that Allan s*xually as*aulted Malva, and when she was about to expose her half-brother, Allan murdered her. Following his sin, Allan attempted to shoot himself, but Claire stopped him. However, fate had already decided his end, and a quick arrow from Ian marked Allan's death.
Ian and Claire were burying Allan's dead body and Mrs. Bug showed up. However, she didn't question the two and believed that Allan deserved it. She then joined Ian and Claire in setting Allan's body in the forest.
