Outlander: Blood of my Blood Season 2 Synopsis, Courtesy of Starz:

In season one, Claire’s parents, Henry and Julia, began a romance through the letters they exchanged from the war-torn battlefields of WWI but were tested in new ways when an unexpected journey back in time left them lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th-century Scotland.

Meanwhile, it was love at first sight for Ellen and Brian. Despite being members of two rival clans, the two began a forbidden romance and vowed their eternal love, choosing each other over tradition, politics, and familial obligations. By the end of the season, both couples were on the precipice of a big change. After fighting to find their way back to one another, Henry and Julia were at the standing stones of Craig Na Dun, hoping to return to their own time, and Brian and Ellen’s romantic escape was interrupted as the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war.

As season two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.
