The first of the images for Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1, episode 6 are out, and they give us a hint of things to come. It’s clear that Julia is going into labor, but there may be an issue.
The promo and synopsis for Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1, episode 6 sees a midwife tell Henry that something went wrong when it comes to Julia giving birth to a baby. The question is whether something happened to Julia and the baby, or whether she’s talking about Julia being forced to marry Simon Fraser.
We did wonder if Arch Bug had something to do with the woman telling Henry bad news. However, the images almost hint that there’s going to be a problem with the delivery.
Simon Fraser is in bed in Outlander: Blood of My Blood
One of the images has Simon Fraser in bed, with Davina standing over him. Now this could be just before he learns that Julia has gone into labor. He could just be sleeping, with Davina getting ready to wake him from slumber. However, it could also be a sign of depression. Is it possible that Julia lost the baby, leading to Simon believing that his king has died.
The latter doesn’t make sense when we know that Simon still trusts Maisri in Outlander. This would hint that nothing is going to happen to Julia or the baby.
However, there is an image of Brian looking concerned, along with other men. They would be forced to remain out of the room while Julia is in labor, so they may just be concerned at the sounds that they hear. After all, they don’t really know what childbirth is like.
What’s the news that Henry gets?
The other images are focused on Henry Beauchamp, who speaks with a midwife about Julia. He finally learns where his wife is, but it looks like he could get some bad news, dashing his hopes. In the promo, he learns that Julia has gone into labor, but that it’s “not good news.”
Now, this could be something set up so that Henry will stop looking for Julia. Arch will know that Henry won’t stop until he finds her, but the Grants want to keep him in their employ. So, telling him that Julia has died will be the easiest way to get him to stop.
There’s not a lot to gather from when it comes to the images, but they’re a good place to start.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood airs on Fridays on STARZ.
