Warning: SPOILERS are forward for the Outlander: Blood of My Blood double premiere!
Whereas our Droughtlander is, technically, nonetheless ongoing as we look forward to subsequent yr’s debut of Outlander Season 8 (which is the ultimate season), Sassenachs do have one thing to get pleasure from proper now with the spinoff, Outlander: Blood of My Blood. The brand new collection (a prequel that follows the love tales of Claire and Jamie’s mother and father) premiered with a double episode just lately and did, in truth, double down on lots of the facets of its predecessor, which have introduced us a few of Outlander’s finest episodes.
Blood of My Blood delivered a welcome take a look at issues like youthful variations of our beloved Murtagh and different long-gone characters, plus some surprises. A type of included making what we all know of Outlander’s time journey extra sophisticated, however I actually assume it’ll result in one thing fantastic occurring in Season 8. Let’s dig into what we noticed and what I feel it might imply!
Claire’s Mother and father Didn’t Die When She Was A Child!
When the trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood was launched a couple of weeks earlier than the present itself debuted on the 2025 TV schedule, myself and lots of different followers had been shocked by what we noticed. We knew there’d be tons of romance and battle (courtesy of the twin time durations of WWI-era England and the warring clans of early 1700s Scotland), however what we didn’t know was that Claire’s mother and father, Julia and Henry Beauchamp, would return in time!
The primary a part of the premiere, “Windfall,” noticed the married couple moving into the automobile accident that Claire was raised to imagine ended their lives. Nonetheless, they survived that fateful occasion, solely to come upon the stone circle at Craigh na Dun and find yourself being sucked via to the 1700s…identical to Claire would a couple of a long time later!
Seeing as how younger Claire (who was solely 5 when the accident occurred) and her household assumed that her mother and father died after their our bodies had been swept away when their automobile fell into the tide, this implies we’re in for 2 attainable revelations when the eighth and ultimate season of Outlander comes round in 2026.
Julia And Henry In all probability Lived Out Their Lives In 1700s Scotland
The second a part of the OBOMB premiere, “S.W.A.Okay.,” targeted not solely on how Julia and Henry bought collectively, but in addition what occurred after they went via the stones individually. Poor Julia was discovered and offered to Lord Lovat and ended up working as one in every of his kitchen employees, whereas Henry started to work for Isaac Grant as he tried to find Julia (who’d left a message on the stones so he might comply with her).
It might take some time, however I can solely assume that these two will discover one another once more, and one thing will cease them from returning to the stones and going again residence. This leads me to the opposite piece of information that mainly dropped a bombshell on the Outlander timeline, and the way it might have an incredible affect on the ultimate episodes.
One huge reveal that comes late within the first episode of OBOMB is that the Beauchamps are vacationing in Scotland (with younger Claire staying with Henry’s brother) as they’re anticipating one other youngster. So, not solely did Julia get despatched again in time whereas pregnant, but when we assume that she’s in a position to give beginning and that the kid survives lengthy sufficient…effectively, you in all probability see the place that is going.
The Outlander Season 7 finale noticed Claire and Jamie absorb younger Fanny after her older sister died. Their mom is already gone, however that dearly departed girl is how Fanny discovered the Twentieth-century track Claire heard her singing. Claire now believes that Fanny is Religion’s daughter, seeing as how Claire sang the identical track to Religion proper earlier than she died.
I feel Julia and Henry might have named their second youngster Religion as effectively, and in addition sang the identical track to her, which is why Fanny is aware of it. So, as an alternative of Fanny being Claire’s granddaughter, she’s really her niece.
Plus! If Claire’s mother and father had stayed prior to now…guys? Might they nonetheless be alive and in a position to reunite with Claire someway?!?! Clearly, I’ve some excessive hopes for the way issues will go in each Season 1 of Blood of My Blood and Season 8 of Outlander, and I can’t wait to see if I’m heading in the right direction right here!
