Why did Master Raymond ask Claire to forgive him in Outlander?
It remains unclear what Master Raymond was asking forgiveness for from Claire in the Outlander finale. However, as per theories, it could be related to Claire’s firstborn Faith. Additionally, his brief appearance manages to bring Claire out of danger, leading her to the path of recovery.
Outlander Season 7’s second-last episode, titled “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood” features Claire serving as a medic for the injured soldiers of the Continental Army. She receives a warning to escape from the camp amid the war, but she refuses to leave her patients alone. Unexpectedly, she gets shot in the abdomen, which puts her life at risk. Denzell is tasked to perform the surgery.
In the finale, while she lies in a critical condition, she experiences a strange vision, featuring Master Raymond. He arrives to meet her and seek forgiveness without disclosing the reason. However, his appearance turns out to be a miracle for Claire, who returns to life, appearing to recover from a dangerous state.
Master Raymond, portrayed by Dominique Pinon, first made an appearance in Season 2, meeting Claire in Paris. He helped her during childbirth, which appeared to put her life at risk. However, he manages to save her. Her child had seemingly died at birth.
After seeing Raymond popping into Claire’s life again, several theories have emerged around his forgiveness. Many believe that he is apologizing for not unveiling that her child, Faith, didn’t actually die but survived and lived for several years. In the finale, Fanny shocked the audience by revealing that her mother’s name is Faith, showing her mother’s gold locket as proof.
