"Outlander" stars Caitriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies recently sat down to discuss what is in store for their characters in season two.

The "Outlander" season two premiere revealed that Jamie Fraser forced his pregnant wife Claire to return to her own time right before the battle of Culloden.

She attempted to pick up the pieces with her husband Frank, but it is clear that things are very tense between them.

After Claire agreed to move to Boston with Frank, there are flashbacks to her time in Paris with Jamie.

Balfe told the Wall-Street Journal revealed that Claire's heart is broken and she is distant with Frank because she does not want to hurt him anymore than she already has.

"Claire is in the depths of grief," she said. "She is a different woman now.  She is in love with someone else. She feels like she's lost that person, her heart is broken and she cannot give Frank even a glimpse of hope because she feels that if she does, it is going to hurt him even more than she already has."

Balfe added that the second season of "Outlander" is going to explore Claire's journey from hopeful girl to a mature woman.

"You see much more of Claire in her emotional journey, and there are events that happen this season that change the core of who she is, almost to the point of her cracking," the actress explained. "This is what I love about Claire, she just keeps going."

Menzies admitted to Collider that he found the scene when Claire told Frank she was pregnant with Jamie's child interesting because it showed there were real consequences to her journey back in time.

"What I found interesting about that scene is that you see the price that is being paid by this other character for Jamie and Claire's relationship," he said. "When Claire returns, it is kind of like a day of reckoning."

The "Outlander" actor also praised his co-star Balfe and noted their friendship made it easier to film the argument between their characters.

"Caitriona and I have been working together for a year and a half now," Menzies explained. "That really paid off when shooting this new material. I don't know if we would've been able to shoot that when we started filming season one. Everything that has been done already kind of marinates in that scene."

"Outlander" season two is currently airing on Saturday nights at 9 p.m. ET on STARZ.
