Summary
- Henry travels through time and is institutionalized in 1924.
- Medical treatments worsen Henry's condition and memory.
- Henry forgets his daughter Claire due to his trauma.
The second season of Starz's "Outlander" prequel, "Blood of My Blood," opens with immediate hardship for its central couples. Henry finds himself displaced in time, arriving in 1924 at an Inverness psychiatric hospital. He is treated by a physician who believes Henry's stories of the 1700s are a delusion stemming from his World War I experiences.
To combat these perceived delusions, Henry undergoes electroconvulsive therapy. This treatment, however, has severe side effects, further disorienting Henry and causing him to lose crucial memories. Most tragically, he begins to forget his young daughter, Claire, adding a profound emotional blow to his already difficult circumstances.
