The scene in Geneva's bedroom after she coerced Jamie into joining her in Voyager actually starts off a lot like the scene in "Of Lost Things," with Geneva watching Jamie undress and Jamie assuring Geneva that it won't hurt as long as he takes his time. We didn't want to bring that part in because it was unnecessary. There are moments like the Geneva one where it's not an important part of the story, so we choose not to show that. Certain sexual violence is, not appropriate, but like the Jamie rape - no one wants to see it, we're not glorifying it - but it's important to show it in its gory detail so that people understand why Black Jack has such a profound effect on Jamie and Claire moving forward. That scene should be all about Jamie being forced into doing something, but still not trying to take advantage of - and wanting the experience, even though it's being forced on him, to be an okay one for her. We didn't want to approach that part or include that part because, at the end of the day, we didn't feel like what that scene was about. The rape did not happen in the "Of Lost Things" episode, and executive producer Maril Davis has revealed why: In the book, Geneva coerced Jamie into sleeping with her, and Jamie ended up losing control and raping her. Season 3 is based on the Voyager novel, and readers knew that Jamie would be sleeping with a woman other than Claire to conceive his son.
That said, Outlander has been known to get quite ugly over the years, and the show hasn't shied away from sexual violence. Outlander is probably best known for telling the grand love story of Claire and Jamie, and the show has already crafted one of the most complex romances of television.
