Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 6 preview: This tragic news might separate Julia and Henry forever

A complicated childbirth, a hasty marriage, and tragic news! Starz has recently released an ominous teaser for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 6 Birthright, which threatens to separate Claire's parents forever.

The previous episode saw Brian handfasting him to Ellen, following which the couple consummated their union. While Jamie's parents' love is gradually progressing in the prequel series, Claire's parents remain painfully separated. The Beltane festival was the perfect opportunity for Julia to slip away with Brian and potentially reunite with Henry, but Mrs.Porter caught her at the last moment.

The teaser reveals that Julia is nearing childbirth as her water breaks, and Simon Fraser plans to bind them in matrimony and make her prophesied unborn son his legitimate heir. Amidst all this, Henry receives some disturbing news from a midwife that might separate Claire's parents forever.

More on the upcoming episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood in our story.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 6: Simon Fraser plans to marry Julia

The latest preview for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 6 has fans worried as it seems the prequel series is moving towards a dire future for Claire's parents. While Jamie's parents' love progressed to new heights in Episode 5, Julia and Henry remained tragically separated. After Julia could not attend the Beltane festival with Jamie due to a seer reading arranged by Lord Lovat, the prophecy became a new hurdle for Claire's mother, as it promised glory and fame to Simon Fraser's lineage.

The official teaser for Outlander: Blood of My Blood’s upcoming episode suggests that Julia’s troubles are far from over after Maisri’s chilling prophecy. Simon Fraser orders his servants to prepare a wedding ceremony before the baby arrives. Although Brian is already recognized as Simon’s illegitimate son, Lord Lovat appears intent on marrying Julia before the birth, thereby legitimizing the child as a Fraser. (The scandal! This twist would technically make Claire and Jamie half-siblings.)

Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 6- Is Henry falling into an elaborate trap?

While Simon Fraser is planning to trap Julia and her unborn baby at Castle Leathers, things don't seem too good with Henry either. Archbug, a problematic character from the parent series, continues to create problems for Henry in Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will come to a head in the upcoming episode. After Henry frustartingly admits that the English woman he is searching for is his wife, Arch Bug will likely lay a trap for the Clan Grant's Bladier.

As the preview reveals, Henry meets a midwife who reveals that she earlier delivered a baby for a woman named Julia Beauchamp. While Henry is elated, the midwife says the next moment, 'It is not good news', which suggests that something has either happened to Julia or their baby. However, it seems that the midwife who delivers this tragic news to Henry is not the same one seen earlier at Castle Leathers in the trailer.

Since Arch Bug lingers in the background, this could be an elaborate setup to make Henry swear his full loyalty to Clan Grant and stop his search for his wife. The official synopsis for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, Episode 6, confirms this ominous future as:

'Henry continues to look for Julia until a new discovery threatens to end his search.'

Many fan theory suggests that Henry will be informed that Julia is dead, which will likely 'threaten to end his search', but the deep love between the couple makes it slightly unbelievable. Claire's parents share an undeniable connection, and Henry will certainly not stop searching for Julia, despite the tragic news.
