Outlander Season 4, Episode 6 gave us another emotional reunion. Lord John Grey certainly stole the show and here are my favorite three moments.
We knew that there would be another reunion in Episode 6 and that Lord John Grey was returning. Outlander Season 4, Episode 6 certainly didn’t disappoint. There were plenty of emotional moments, as well as sweet and kind moments.
Unlike Jamie and Claire’s, I’m only going to focus on three moments for Lord John Grey this week. While he is an important character, he isn’t the main focus in the series. Plus, I feel like if I did five, I’d just put every important moment from the episode.
So, here are my three favorite Lord John Grey moments in “Blood of My Blood.”
3. Warning Jamie about Willie’s memories

To start with, we got Lord John Grey going to see Jamie alone. There was this beautiful reunion and it was clear that Lord John’s feelings for Jamie have never changed. However, that’s not why I loved it so much.
I adored that John thought of Jamie’s feelings before turning up. He knew that it would be hard to see Willie again but that it would be something Jamie should get to do. When he turned up, he made it clear that Willie might not remember much about Jamie, who was known as Mac back then.
It shows the kindness in John’s heart. To be honest, it would have been a little kinder to write first but this moment gave us John’s thoughtfulness once he got to Fraser’s Ridge. He could quell disappointment just in case.
2. Remembering Murtagh
While Murtagh may not have liked Lord John Grey, you have to admit that it was good to see that John remembered Murtagh. After all, it was because of John’s kindness that Murtagh got the medical care he needed in Ardsmuir Prison, otherwise, Murtagh would have likely died before reaching the Colonies.
And John didn’t just put on the happiness of seeing Murtagh. He was clearly happy that Murtagh looked well. he was happy to see that an inmate had managed to make a life in the Colonies.
What will be interesting to see is how John reacts when he learns Murtagh is a Regulator. That has to happen, after all.
1. His honesty with Claire
While he did end up apologizing for everything he said, it wasn’t just the fever that led to the honesty between Claire and John. And I’m not just talking about admitting that he could have had Jamie had he wanted to. Maybe that was because of the fever.
No, the honesty that I loved was when talking about Isobel and happiness. He made it clear why he was jealous of Claire and Jamie. It wasn’t that Claire had Jamie but that there was satisfaction on Claire’s face; that she made Jamie happy.
This wasn’t even just about Jamie. John made it clear that he just wanted it with someone and it was so sweet and raw. It takes a lot to be honest like that and I love that it was with Claire that he opened up.
