‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’: 7 Burning Questions We Need Answered in Season 2

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 1 finale, “Something Borrowed.”]

Outlander: Blood of My Blood‘s first season has come to a close, but with the promise of Season 2 looming on the horizon, we can’t help but wonder where the story will take us next as the love stories between Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) parents unfold.

It may be too early to know for certain; after all, Blood of My Blood has flipped the script on what Outlander fans thought they knew about the stories of Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), as well as Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine).

As viewers have uncovered across the series so far, Claire’s parents, Henry and Julia, didn’t die as she presumed in an automobile accident while traveling in Scotland. Blood of My Blood presents the idea that they’d actually been transported through time at the standing stones like Claire would. This allowed for the crossover of all crossovers as they become interconnected with star-crossed loves Brian and Ellen.

In the finale episode, “Something Borrowed,” Ellen’s betrothal to Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden) has reached its breaking point, as she cannot delay any further. When Brian sneaks into Castle Leoch to convince her against the nuptials, which are meant to bind Clans MacKenzie and Grant in a mutually beneficial deal, she agrees to flee with the help of her sister Jocasta (Sadhbh Malin) and Mrs. Fitz (Sally Messham).
