Blood of my Blood Season Two

 

Matt Robert's fictional telling of Jamie and Claire’s parents in the spin off of Outlander, gets a second season. 

There is no information on how many episodes there will be, (it was recently announced 10 episodes) or if this ends that saga, but what we do know is that Matt has more story to tell. The second season begins September 18th, 2026 at 8pm on Starz. 

Also, there have been no announcements about new characters or who may play those. No one but Matt knows the direction the show will go in, or if the characters they already cast will play out this season. Fans have no idea either, because this is not from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander world.

Our writer Susie Brown, (the Aussie blogging lass) will do our in season recaps of BOMB, starting the days after each episode airs. 

Be sure to look out for them, she puts a spin on every theme throughout the show and you cannot help but think, maybe a rewatch is needed!

Here are a few promo photos released.

EPISODE 3: THE WAY OUT - A free verse recap of Season One by your Aussie Blogging Lass


Outlander Homepage Originals 


 It wasn’t what she had planned…


It wasn’t what she had planned.

She remembered the 1940s

And the train that had pulled away from the station

Parting her from her husband, even as she promised to return. 

In the new reality of her 18th century life

The plan of telling her real story

Became a daydream not worth the risk.

So she began her work as a healer

Curing the ills of the folk at Leoch.


It wasn’t what she had planned.

But the talk in the kitchens revealed the death of a child

A visit to the Black Kirk his last boyhood adventure.

And she learned of the superstitions that those around her believed,

Crossing themselves against demons and the Devil himself.


It wasn’t what she had planned.

But she answered the Laird’s summons,

Having no choice but to be of service

As she plotted her next move.

She watched the tailor cower under angry words and threats

All for the sin of making a frock coat that hid an infirmity.

Hesitantly, she began her own work

Massaging a spine which eased the pain

And led to an invitation.


It wasn’t what she had planned.

The Laird’s guest at a concert from the Bard

And a meeting with a young girl infatuated by a man who ignored youthful flirtation.

A threeway conversation began

But she drank too much Rhenish

And was grateful for his gallantry 

As he escorted her back to the surgery

To protect her reputation.


It wasn’t what she had planned

But she found herself suddenly attracted

When checking his wound brought them close together

Intense looks and slow smiles the beginning of a delicate dance.


It wasn’t what she had planned

But news of an exorcism

Led to a troubling mystery

Illness or possession?

Magic explaining all was a difficult pill to swallow. 

Yet she soon witnessed superstition at work

As a boy lay at the mercy

Of the fervent incantations of Father Bain.

Her own offers of help falling upon deaf ears.


It wasn’t what she had planned

When she teased the man the next morning, 

He had succumbed to young charms after all

And she found herself admonished by his Godfather

Subsequent guilt released her emotions

But her tears were interrupted by an unexpected offer.


It wasn’t what she had planned

But while visiting in the village

She watched feminine wiles at work

A boy’s hand saved, the punishment still too strict

Soon her own story became the curiosity

With the wiles put to work on her instead,

As she was pressed to tell all. 


It wasn’t what she had planned

But after he came to collect her

They freed the boy and visited the Kirk.

There at the German ruin,

The mystery was solved amidst conversation

Not demons at all, but poison 

Lily of the valley mistaken for wood garlic.


It wasn’t what she had planned

But she quickly made an enemy

Confronting the Father

And curing the boy in front of his grateful family

A warning issued amongst relatives’ tears: the vapours of Hell were upon her.


It wasn’t what she had planned.

For now she had a reputation

Too great for her to easily escape

Hopeless feelings led to more Rhenish

And the wish for oblivion amidst the bard’s song.

But as she sat next to him in the candlelight,

He translated the tale that was somehow her own

And hope bloomed anew.

EPISODE 2: CASTLE LEOCH - A free verse recap of Season One by your Aussie Blogging Lass

Outlander Homepage Originals 





It was no place like home.
After days on horseback
An object of suspicion, 
Amidst the others’ homecoming.

It was no place like home.
But tending an injured shoulder
Revealed a scarred back, a compelling story,
A connection made, an easy trust.

It was no place like home.
But he shared his tale with her,
Of the day when Black Jack Randall
Became his family’s nemesis.

It was no place like home.
But he called her kind
And held her as she wept
For her husband not alive.

It was no place like home.
Yet she was given a room,
And dressed to be fit for
The laird of the castle.

It was no place like home.
But she now knew the date
Defending and strategising
To find a way out.

It was no place like home.
But she was offered hospitality
Supper in the Great Hall
A guest of the laird. 

It was no place like home.
And she committed a faux pas
Drinking too much rhenish
While letting down her guard. 

It was no place like home.
But she brought bandages and a picnic
And sat in the stables
Learning more of his story.

It was no place like home.
But he chose to trust her,
Unlike the others,
Who thought her a spy.

It was no place like home
But she tended the gardens 
And encountered a woman
Others said was a witch.

It was no place like home.
Another night in the hall
Where she watched him take punishment
For a young girl disgraced. 

It was no place like home.
And she tended new wounds
Ignoring the chemistry
As she planned to leave.

It was no place like home.
And she said her farewells
But her best laid plans
Would soon lie in tatters.

It was no place like home.
She was shown to a room
Holding amorous memories 
From a future time.

It was no place like home.
But home it must be
Installed as the healer
At the laird’s pleasure. 

It was no place like home.
But her secrets had trapped her
Her future uncertain
A prisoner in the past.

EPISODE 1: SASSENACH - A free verse recap of Season One from your Aussie Blogging Lass.

Outlander Homepage Originals 





It was the little things that mattered.

A blue vase and a wish for a stable life.

Fresh blood on the doorframes,

A sign of Samhain.


It was the little things that mattered. 

Squeaky bed springs, an attempt to reconnect.

A drive through the highlands

Exploring moments of history. 


It was the little things that mattered. 

Conversations of ancestors and a tea leaf fortune,

The brushing of hair in a softly lit window 

Enticing a ghostly visitor.


It was the little things that mattered,

Watching a ritual in predawn light

White robed women dancing with joy,

Blue forget-me-nots drawing the eye.


It was the little things that mattered. 

A touch of the stones at Craig Na Dun

A world spinning out of control

The sickening sensation of falling.


It was the little things that mattered.

Escaping a sadist with a familiar face

Rescued by an unfamiliar man

With strange dress and stranger speech.


It was the little things that mattered.

A dislocated shoulder and a gentle touch

The darkness of a city view

On a horizon where lights should have been.


It was the little things that mattered.

Riding night and day,

Remembered knowledge saving new companions

But arousing new suspicions.


It was the little things that mattered.

A bullet wound and unladylike language 

A connection made amidst the chaos 

Highlander and Sassenach.


It was the little things that mattered.

Riding farther away from all she’d known

In a place where her present was now the past

Her journey had just begun.
