Warning: Outlander: Blood of My Blood Spoilers are forward. Step away till you have caught up!
Although Julia and Henry Beauchamp had actually been by way of rather a lot earlier than having to take care of Outlander’s time journey on Blood of My Blood, nobody can say they’ve gotten any type of prolonged break after touchdown in 1714. The married duo is firmly ensconced within the lives of the Frasers, MacKenzies and Grants, and Episode 7 on the 2025 TV schedule confirmed the baptism of Claire’s child brother and Julia’s pressured marriage to Lord Lovat. We’re all questioning how little William Henry Beauchamp may impression Outlander’s Season 8 story, however one cleaning soap opera-style principle actually delights me.
What’s The Twisty Outlander: Blood Of My Blood Principle About Claire’s Brother?
Ever for the reason that shock trailer reveal that Julia and Henry would journey again to the 1700s identical to Claire did many many years later, and that they didn’t truly die when she was a small little one, followers knew that Outlander: Blood of My Blood was going to make the story of 1 household of time vacationers far more intricate than it already was. Now we all know that Mrs. Jamie Fraser has a youthful brother that she didn’t find out about, and there’s a twisty principle about his whereabouts additional alongside the timeline that kinda thrills me, regardless of it being reasonably unhappy.
I’m like each different fan in attempting to determine if we’ve seen and even heard of the person that William grew as much as be on the unique sequence, however in looking round to see what others are eager about the identical topic, I noticed an concept that strikes me as gold. So, Julia had her old-timey buddy, Brian, secretly christen the child as William in order that he’d have an official title that wasn’t hooked up to the dastardly Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat.
Guys? What if Brian and Ellen find yourself adopting the child, and Jamie’s older brother Willie (who he named his personal son after) is definitely Claire’s organic brother?!?!
I do know…I. KNOW! Clearly, there are lots of questions that come up when contemplating this principle, however simply consider it. It could imply that not solely are Claire and Jamie’s histories extra entwined than we thought, however (if that is the place the story goes) he actually fell in love together with his brother’s sister! Secretly adopted brother, certain, however it is a storyline that might simply be on Normal Hospital proper now, it’s that wild.
There’s additionally a principle going round that William may be the person we noticed as Simon Fraser Jr. in Outlander Season 2. This makes some sense, as a result of that’s the title that Lovat had him publicly christened beneath. Nevertheless, data from the books/TV present inform us that that character was seemingly born a few decade after William, so the wee Willie principle is barely higher.
After all, Jamie’s older brother died from smallpox once they had been nonetheless younger, so this principle doesn’t enable Claire to randomly meet her brother within the final season of Outlander. I nonetheless love this concept, although, as a result of it connects Jamie and Claire much more, and whereas she wouldn’t have gotten to know William, he’s nonetheless part of her life by way of Jamie’s reminiscences of him. I imply…Awwwwww!
There’s additionally the likelihood that the Beauchamps are in a position to reunite with their son, and we simply don’t know what occurred to any of them but, so we’ll simply have to remain tuned and see what occurs.
