Time journey is at all times a troublesome proposition on Outlander, much more so whenever you don't know the principles.

Whereas Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) have largely deduced the necessities of touring by way of the stones, Claire's mother and father — Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) — don’t. So the season 1 finale of prequel collection, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, left a giant open query with Henry, Julia, and their son William urgent their arms to the stones at Craigh Na Dun and the scene fading to a reminiscence of their (last?) farewell to younger Claire.

Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden), his employer and a trusted ally, is now useless, slain by Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) when trying to run away with Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater). That leaves good outdated Uncle Mac (Simon Merrells) as probably the most senior member of the Grant clan.

"This world has nice villains," says Irvine. "Uncle Mac will not be essentially a villain, however he's a ruthless man. And Henry has so much to reply for."
