As we get closer to Outlander: Blood of My Blood beginning, we’re getting more looks into the characters. STARZ has released clips for both couples, and the Henry and Julia clip sees them in the Scottish Highlands.
We’ve already broken down the clip of Brian and Ellen. Now we head to the couple that we know barely anything about. From the Outlander books, we just know that Henry and Julia were killed in a car accident, but Outlander: Blood of My Blood seems to be taking a different turn.
Julia thinks about Claire in Outlander: Blood of My Blood
Julia is a true mother in this clip, as she looks around and thinks about how much her young daughter, Claire, would love the area. There’s a bush full of raspberries, and it’s clear that Claire would love to get stuck in there to pick them. Julia promised to make jam when she returns, and it’s so sad knowing that this isn’t going to happen.
There’s another great connection to Claire in the conversation Julia has with Henry. Julia brings up the homeopathic abilities of raspberries for women in childbirth, and while Henry pulls a face, Julia seems to foreshadowing everything that Claire is about to become.
We also get to see where Claire’s glass face comes from. It’s clear that Henry can’t hide what he’s thinking.
A discussion about Uncle Lamb in the Outlander prequel
There is another important side character mentioned in the Outlander: Blood of My Blood clip. It turns out that Claire is staying with her Uncle Lamb, who is Henry’s brother. Of course, while Julia knows that Claire will love it, Henry brings up who his brother is.
Little does he know that Claire ends up being raised by his brother. The idea of everything he doesn’t want to happen is going to come true. Well sort of. We don’t actually know if Claire can read hieroglyphics, and that would be a great little thing for Outlander season 8 to throw in!
I do wonder if we’ll get to see Lamb and a young Claire. This opens the door for this sort of appearance to happen, as Claire learns that her parents aren’t coming back. We know they’ve not died in a car accident, though. Instead, they have both traveled through the stones.
