In the next episode of "Outlander," Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) and her husband Jamie (Sam Heughan) set off to find young Ian (John Bell) in Jamaica.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "The Bakra" was released just recently and showed Ian being taken hostage on a large ship by pirates. The boy was carrying the treasure chest when he was intercepted by the nefarious traders. The ship arrives in Jamaica where Ian is placed in the hands of some human smugglers. Claire and Jamie manage to dock in the tropical country and avoid the authorities. Apparently, Jamie is wanted for killing a British officer. "We have to free him," Claire says to Jamie who appears worried. They have to try and save Ian from a possible execution while avoiding getting caught. They secretly search around an area and are able to spot the boy in the crowd.

Ian is escorted by a couple of thugs and it seems like he is going to be sold off to some slave-owners. "Do something, help him," Claire tells her husband urgently. A fight suddenly breaks out where Jamie is shown swinging away at the thugs. The people around the area also start fighting with one another. It remains to be seen if young Ian will be able to escape amidst the confusion.

In the last episode, Claire and Jamie were reunited once again on a nearby island when she used a mirror to reflect light on the ship and get his attention. Jamie noticed the moving lights and used a monocular to see what was making them. To his delight, he saw Claire on the island and immediately raced to shore to meet her. The two lovers had a warm reunion once more.

"Outlander" season 3 episode 12 will air on Sunday, Dec.3, at 9 p.m. EST on Starz.
