Starz's Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4, titled A Soldier's Heart, is gearing up for a special moment in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander universe, an epic meeting between Claire and Jamie's mothers. The recently released preview for Episode 4, which will premiere on August 22, 2025, will change everything we know about Jamie and Claire from the parent series.

The Episode 4 preview features Julia secretly arriving at Castle Leoch to deliver a message to Ellen from Brian. While the women are unaware that decades later, their children will magically cross each other's paths, their meeting does feel like a special moment in the making for all Outlander fans.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4 will continue to expand Gabaldon's fantasy world, and this latest twist proves that Claire's meeting with Jamie and their eventual journey in Outlander was not accidental. Their worlds had already collided decades earlier, thanks to their parents.

More on this in our story.

Recently, Starz released a short preview for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4, which features a momentous first meeting between none other than Claire and Jamie's mothers. While Claire's mothers and Jamie's father were introduced to each other in the Pilot episode, thanks to Julia's time-travel adventure from the 20th century to the 17th century, the upcoming episode will feature an important meeting between the mothers.

The prequel series was highly anticipated among Outlander fans, and these important and exciting details have enriched the parent series' narrative even more. The Outlander pilot established that Claire 'accidentally' time-traveled through the stones, where she met Jamie, and the rest is history. However, the upcoming episode is about to change everything we know about the couple.

Julia and Ellen will not just have a passing moment in time in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4, but this meeting will lead to Jamie's birth some decades later. The preview suggests Brian will make a pact with Julia, where he asks her:

''I need your help...to deliver a message for me...''

To which Julia replies:

''And if I do this for you, you'll help me escape?''

As Brian and Ellen have already become lovesick for one another, he will ask Julia's help to communicate a message to Ellen at Castle Leoch, which will culminate in a meeting that will defy the laws of time itself.


Julia's exciting arrival at Castle Leoch

Julia and Ellen's meeting in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4 will not just be a fleeting moment but an event that will change the course of Jamie's parents' eventual union. As established in the earlier episodes, Brian and Ellen are the Romeo and Juliet of the 17th century, with their families ready to spill each other's blood at any given chance. However, the couple still managed to beat this clan rivalry and marry each other. But the preview suggests that somebody else was behind this change in their story, Claire's mother.

While Outlander: Blood of My Blood revealed that Jamie and Claire's parents' love stories were already connected, the upcoming episode will feature Julia's exact role in Brian and Ellen's romance.

On the other hand, since the preview also featured flashbacks of Julia and Henry from the 20th century, A Soldier’s Heart will also take the viewers to Claire's parents' tale before they were tragically separated. Julia's arrival at Castle Leoch also hints that a reunion might be on the cards for her and Henry. While she is unaware that her husband followed her suit in the 17th century, Henry has been constantly searching for her since his arrival. If Ned Gowan happens to come across Julia at Castle Leoch, he might recognize her as the Englishwoman Clan Grant's bladier was searching for.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 4 will premiere on Starz on August 22, 2025.
