Starz‘s new Outlander prequel series Blood of My Blood is officially heating up.
Just last week, fans got to see the epic moment when Claire’s mom Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) got to meet Jamie’s mom Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater). Now, in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 5 “Needfire,” we’re following the drama as Ellen attends the annual Beltane festival near the stones at Craigh na dun with her would-be betrothed Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden). What no one — except Julia, of course — knows, though, is that Ellen and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) are plotting to meet at the important event.
Elsewhere, Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) is still searching for his missing wife, Julia. Murtagh (Rory Alexander) is still pining after Ellen, and Ellen’s sister Jocasta (Sadhbh Malin) is still yearning for Murtagh. Oh, and Lord Lovat (Tony Curran) remains the absolute worst.
