This show is a prequel to the famous Outlander movie. It follows the love stories of Claire Beauchamp's parents in England and Jamie Fraser's parents in Scotland. The third episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood puts Ellen and Julia in a tough spot.

This is the same unique set up that Claire (Caitriona Balfe) encounters when she arrives at Castle Leoch decades later in the original Outlander. Outlander: Blood of My Blood finally reveals how this power balance came to be and it’s all Ellen.

Blood of My Blood males attempt to bat Ellen MacKenzie around as if she were a tiny, ginger kitten in this week’s episode. Oh, you silly boys: This kitten’s got claws — and a mind that’s even sharper.
