Outlander: Blood of My Blood Recap: Best Laid Plans

Fans who are familiar with the storyline of Outlander might find interest when a baby named William is mentioned, as it could hint at Brian and Ellen’s upcoming birth of their first child, a son. This boy’s name resembles Jamie’s older brother, who unfortunately died from smallpox in the series. Since Baby Beauchamp is still present in the story, one might find it unusual for Brian and Ellen to choose such a similar name. Some speculations could be: Is it possible that they are protecting baby William and/or Julia and Henry by raising him as their own? Or perhaps they invented the story of William’s death to reunite him with his family at some point in time? Alternatively, this name coincidence may foreshadow a tragic event for the Beauchamps (or appear to), leading them to honor their friends by naming their son William. It’s also possible that they simply admire the name and William Beauchamp is an unrelated character within Outlander. Regardless, it’s an intriguing development in the storyline.
