WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for season six of Outlander.

Following an extended Droughtlander, it’s not surprising fans have been poring over the latest trailer for season six of the Starz series. Many are certain one frame from the teaser shows a major character dead and being carried into the Big House. But which beloved Outlander character has perished?

In upcoming episodes, Claire Fraser (played by Caitriona Balfe) and husband Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) will reluctantly welcome the Christie family onto the Ridge.

Fans of the novels written by Diana Gabaldon know Jamie served time at Ardsmuir prison with Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones), however, the pair did not quite get a long.

But as Jamie has promised a home on the Ridge for all men who spent time at the Scottish prison, he cannot exclude Tom.

In the books, Tom’s niece Malva (Jessica Reynolds) takes an interest in Claire’s medical work and begins to learn more about germs and healing.

However she soon becomes jealous of Claire’s life with Jamie and tries to kill the healer so she can take her place by the highlander’s side.

When she is unsuccessful, Malva goes on to claim Jamie is the father of her unborn child and Claire lashes out at her.

It’s not long before Malva is found dying on the Ridge and while Claire tries to help save both mother and baby, she is blamed for the young girl’s death.

Fans are certain this storyline will feature in season six as one shot appears to show Jamie carrying the body of Malva into the Big House.

Taking to Reddit to discuss the trailer, user ROFRfan commented: “Going through the footage. Gut feeling. No clue why brain went to Lizzie. Also why so little of the Christie’s?”

However, user thepacksurvives replied: “I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure this shot (brightened by me) from the first teaser shows [BIG SPOILER!] Jamie carrying Malva’s dead body; the clothing matches what we’ve seen both characters in.

“And we see Lizzie running away from the Big House during the siege so I think she’s safe for now.”

The shot the user referenced shows a small hand with long nails suggesting it is a woman.

They are dressed in a yellow blouse and appear to have a scarf draped over them.

While there are no further indications about who the character may be, fans are certain it is Malva.

User ROFRfan added: “Yeah, it was the clothes that tricked me too. First I thought it was Lizzie (bc of her height) by Jamie’s side during the funeral, then I thought Malva.” (sic)

Claire will no doubt be left shaken to find Malva has perished as they had grown so close.

Despite the young woman claiming Jamie was the father of her unborn baby, she would still be sad to see her dead.

The time travelling healer of course, would also be aware she may be framed for Malva’s death after recently lashing out at her.

Could someone be trying to frame Claire and will see survive another round of accusations she is a witch?

Outlander season 6 premieres March 6 on Starz in the US and StarzPlay in the UK.
