Sam Heughan Sends Fans Into Meltdown With Naked Scene in Outlander as Fergus’s Shocking Injury Leaves Viewers Speechless

Sam Heughan bared (nearly) all during the graphic second episode – aptly titled ‘Surrender’ – of Outlander’s third season on Sunday night.

There was a surprisingly gratuitous shot of the 37-year-old Scotsman’s nude behind for the usually reserved British-American time-traveling soap.

1752 (six years later) was the first audiences saw of the 6ft3in heartthrob’s outlaw character, the Dunbonnet Jamie Fraser, since he survived the Battle of Culloden.

Smoulder: Sam Heughan bared (nearly) all during the graphic second episode – aptly titled ‘Surrender’ – of Outlander’s third season on Sunday night

Starved for human touch, the cave-dwelling fugitive took comfort in the arms of Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) at his sister Jenny’s suggestion while visiting his Lallybroch home.

‘[It’s] something we both need, something to keep us whole,’ Jamie – still longing for Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) – explained.

Fraser later turned himself into redcoats since a British jail has ‘little difference to the prison I live in now.’

Meanwhile in 1940s Boston, Claire seduced her husband Frank (Tobias Menzies) by saying, ‘I miss my husband.’

But the medical student – clearly fantasizing about Jamie – refused to open her eyes during the fireside sex session, even at Frank’s insistence.

‘Claire, when I’m with you, I’m with you. But you’re with him,’ Frank later said, defeated.

Elsewhere in the episode, Fergus Fraser (Romann Berrux) is brutally punished by redcoats for possessing a contraband pistol.

Jamie watched helplessly as the French pickpocket had his arm chopped off by sword in the woods.

The complicated special effect involved clever editing, a realistic prosthetic hand, lot’s of fake blood pumping, and a green sleeve over Roman’s real hand.

Fergus then made a crude gesture with his bloody stump at the British and later joked, ‘with one stroke, I’ve become a man of leisure.’

The gory scene got quite a reaction on social media, with one user called Rachel Luna exclaiming: ‘Yooooo wtf they cut his hand off!’

And Bitz on Twitter wondered how ‘Fergus didnt scream like a banshee’ during the horrific scene.

User Mary Maxwell was surprised at Fergus’ steeliness, tweeting, ‘apparently in the 18th century, losing a hand wasn’t really that big of a deal.’
