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.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood Episode 3 “School of the Moon” ends with one character making a desperate decision that could have insane ramifications for the larger MacKenzie/Fraser family tree. We learned in the very first episode of the new Starz show that Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) parents Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry (Jeremy Irvine) didn’t die in a car crash as we have long believed.

Now that Starz’s Outlander: Blood of my Blood has established Henry and Julia are time-travelers, the entirety of episode three takes place in Scotland in 1714. We get to briefly dip into Julia’s story, and Henry’s seen in a pivotal meeting. But for the most part, this is Ellen’s episode to shine, opening the episode in Brian’s sexy embrace.
