‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Aftershow: Stars Break Down Brian & Ellen’s Beltane Adventure in Episode 5 (VIDEO)

[Warning: The below and video above contain MAJOR spoilers for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, Season 1 Episode 5, “Needfire.”]

Outlander: Blood of My Blood took a romantic turn in the latest episode, “Needfire,” which saw Brian (Jamie Roy), Ellen (Harriet Slater), and more travel to celebrate Beltane, a festival that features the needfire, which is said to wash away sins.

With the promise of erased sins in mind, it leads to some risque behavior, especially for Brian and Ellen, whose romance is forbidden due to their dueling clans. Upon arriving at Beltane, Ellen’s sister Jocasta (Sadhbh Malin) teases her by suggesting she explore alone time with her betrothed, Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden), unaware of where Ellen’s heart truly lies.

As the festivities unfold, Brian finds himself dancing with Ellen as they put up a ruse that they’re strangers to one another. Meanwhile, Murtagh (Rory Alexander) longs to find a connection with Ellen, but when he sees her and Brian kissing as they sneak away, emotions run high, leading him to drink.
