***The following contains season finale spoilers***
Recently, Starz premiered the season finale of
Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Fearing for Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy)’s safety, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) prepared for her wedding to Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden), only to discover that her brother, Colum (Seamus McLean Ross), had broken his promise and ordered assassins to kill Brian. This of course prompted Ellen to break her own promise and choose a daring escape with her beloved. Aided by others, the two do make it out of Castle Leoch, but not without complications, including the death of Malcolm at the hands of Brian in self-defense. However, in the end, more hardship follows as Ellen and Brian see the mountain crosses burning, which signals a looming battle, and Brian must choose between duty and love once again.
Recently, stars Slater and Roy spoke with SciFi Vision about the season finale, including why Brian is making the choice to return for battle, what Ellen’s plans are, if either of them would have been able to move on if things had gone differently, and if Ellen can ever forgive her brother.
