The mid-season finale of "Outlander" had a cliffhanger ending. Fans of the series are eagerly waiting for episode 9. The episode focused heavily on Frank Randall in 1945 and a conflicted Claire, who almost made it to the magical stones.

Frank Randall was desperately searching for his wife for over seven weeks. The police have concluded that she has eloped with her lover after an extensive search and hundreds of interviews. A darker shade of Frank's character was revealed in "Outlander" episode 8.

Frank has put out a reward for any information about his wife or the Scottish man. He was lured by a woman with a promise of helping him find the Scottish man. Frank walked into an ambush, but was capable of handling himself. He beat a man so badly that the woman who was with him worried that he may die. This was perhaps the most violent side of Frank that viewers have seen so far, which is reminiscent of the brutality of his ancestor Jack Randall.

Meanwhile back in the 1740s, Jamie finds out about a man who may be able to prove his innocence. Jamie and his party get attacked and Claire learns how to use a small knife to protect herself. The training comes in handy later as two British deserters catch Claire and Jamie making love in "Outlander" episode 8.

Claire is sexually assaulted by one of the men, while the other points a gun at Jamie. Claire uses her knife to kill her assaulter and Jamie manages to kill the other man. The incident makes Claire very angry about not trying to find a way back home. She comes across the magic rocks, Craigh na Dun later.

Before Claire is able to touch the stones, she gets arrested by British officers and is taken to Fort William, the province of Jack Randall. Jack intends to find out everything about Claire in his interrogation. But just as he strips and prepares to rape her, Jamie appears on the window with a gun in his hand.

The cliff hanger ending has the fans excited about the next episode. "Outlander" Episode 9 will air on April 4, 2015. Frank is told about the magic of Craigh na Dun, which he does not believe at first. Will his visit to the place change his mind about giving up his search for Claire?
