‘Outlander’ Season 8 Episode 3 Reveals Claire Can Resurrect the Dead: “There Is Magic in ‘Outlander,’” Showrunner Says

Outlander Season 8 Episode 3 “Abies Fraseri” features a scene where Claire (Caitriona Balfe) manages to tap into mysterious, magical, “blue light” power that the Starz hit first introduced all the way back in Season 2.
Halfway through this week’s Outlander, a little girl named Agnes Whitaker (Annelle Olaleye) asks Claire to help her ailing mother, Susannah (Estella Daniels). Susannah is struggling to give birth to twins, so naturally Claire snaps into action to help.

While Claire is able to help Susannah give birth to a son without much issue, the second baby — a girl — appears to be stillborn. Claire flashes back to losing baby Faith in Paris in Outlander Season 2 and we hear the voices of both Master Raymond (Dominique Pinon) and Mother Hildegarde (Frances de la Tour) echo from the past. Just when it seems the baby can’t be saved, Claire somehow brings her back to life. We see the blue light and the bird that are synonymous with Master Raymond’s “miracles” right before the baby begins to cry.
So does Claire officially have Master Raymond’s powers to bring people back from the dead?

“I mean, we know that that Claire has something. That’s from the days in France,” Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Davis told DECIDER. “There’s magic in Outlander. We know that, too. That’s a given. She touched a rock and went through time. So there’s magic somewhere.”
“I think over the years, Claire has started to understand in the sense that she believes it, whether she knows how to use it, I don’t…” Roberts then caught himself. “You know, that’s kind of a wait and see situation.”
