Murtagh understands why Brian fell in love with Ellen. What he cannot forgive is that the man he trusted like a brother kept it from him. 💔

In our Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 7 recap and reaction, Mary and Blake break down “Luceo Non Uro,” an episode where Ellen MacKenzie is learning to outmaneuver her brothers, Julia receives a beautiful sign of hope, and Murtagh’s heartbreak changes how we see his future with Brian and Jamie.

We loved Ellen taking control of her story, Julia recognizing Henry’s handwriting, and Bear McCreary’s incredible score. But we have questions: How does Henry recover from his breakdown so quickly? How does Bug get to Craigh na Dun in time to stop him? And WHY do Brian and Ellen stop to have a conversation when the Redcoats are right behind them?!

We also discuss Dougal’s Jacobite ambitions, Rob Roy’s appearance at House Nairne, Julia and Davina’s alliance against Lord Lovat, and the Outlander connections that made us sit up and take notice.

*OUR KILT RATINGS:* Mary — 4.6/5 | Blake — 3.9/5

*FULL SPOILERS* for Blood of My Blood Season 1, Episode 7, with discussion of the original Outlander series.
