Added DiffLines:

* NotReallyMarriedPlot: Played for drama. Jamie and Laoghaire marry with Laoghaire believing that they're both widowed and Jamie believing that Claire has returned to the 20th century, never to return since she would believe him dead. As such, Jamie tells everyone that they got separated during Culloden and he believes Claire to be long dead. When Claire unexpectedly returns, it invalidates Jamie and Loaghaire's marriage as Jamie could not legally enter into a marriage agreement as long as his first wife still lives. [[{{Yandere}} Laoghaire attempts to rectify that small complication.]]

Added DiffLines:

* UnbalancedByRivalsKid: Subverted. Claire initially flies into a rage, ready to leave Jamie and go back to her own time period, when she hears Joanie call Jamie "Da". Finding out about William was hard enough, since it means that Jamie has had intimate relationship with another woman, but the idea of a daughter with Laoghaire of all people that he's actually getting to raise while never getting to meet Brianna or Faith is too much. Claire only begins to calm down once Jamie points out that Joanie is far too old to be the result of a two year old marriage despite looking quite a bit like him.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Invoked and averted. Claire is convinced that Joanie is Jamie's child, pointing out her red hair. Jamie points out that Joanie is much too old to be a product of his and Loaghaire's two year old marriage and that he's not the only red-headed man in Scotland.

* LyingToProtectYourFeelings: Jamie says this is the reason he didn't tell Claire about his second marriage. He knew she'd be furious to discover he'd married Laoghaire of all people and he was terrified it would be enough to make her leave and go back through the stones.

* TakingTheBullet: When Laoghaire shows up with a gun, ranting and raving about Claire being a homewrecker, Jamie physically places himself between her and Claire. When Laoghaire's terrible gun discipline results in an inevitable accidental discharge, Jamie is shot instead of Claire, her intended target.
