What happened in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 8?
Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 8 was the most eventful yet heartbreaking episode in the Outlander prequel saga, where Ellen's virtue was put through a humiliating test. After Brian learns that Ellen will undergo a virtue test at Castle Leoch, he sets out to save his 'wife'.
However, Julia steps in and prepares an elixir that will tighten Ellen's hymen and fool the physician into thinking that her virtue is intact. The duo manages to make their way to Castle Leoch, where Julia slips into Ellen's bedchamber and applies the mixture onto her. Julia's mixture worked its charm, and Ellen passed her virtue test, much to the relief of Malcolm and her brothers.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 8 presented an opportunity for a reunion as Julia and Henry were both present at Castle Leoch at the same time. The episode finally reunited the couple, where Julia and Henry locked eyes, touched, and kissed each other. They found their way to one another at last, and Henry also learned about his baby boy, William. However, since time was running out, the couple parted again, but with a promise to meet very soon.
What can you expect from Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 9?
The official Starz synopsis for Outlander: Blood of My Blood's penultimate episode reads as follows:
''All the Highland clans attend the Earl of Mar's annual hunting event at Braemar Castle, where the Earl makes an inflammatory proclamation.''
After the eventful Beltane festival, the Outlander prequel series will feature another festival at Braemar Castle. Now that Henry has learned that his wife and child are alive, he will do anything in his power to save and be reunited with them. The teaser suggests that he will ask Ned's assistance in the matter. While the festival is a good opportunity for Julia and Henry to slip away, she is accompanied by Simon Fraser. The old hawk will not let them slip away easily, but Brain will likely return the favour and help the couple somehow.
On the other hand, after Issac Grant's sudden death in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 8, it looks like Malcolm's uncle will take over. He threatens Ellen in the preview, warning her not to break his nephew's heart. Brian and Ellen will again try to sneak out of the festival, but Colum and Dougal's watchful eyes will likely not give them a moment alone this time.
The preview ends with this ominous warning from Mrs. Fitz, setting a grave tone for the remaining two episodes:
''One of you will be dead.''
