Outlander's Henry Spirals Into PTSD Episode, Commits Shocking Act

In the latest episode of the Outlander spin-off series, Blood of My Blood, the story takes a dramatic turn for the characters of Henry and Julia. Henry, who has been desperately searching for his missing wife Julia, is devastated to discover that she has reportedly died in childbirth. This news sends him into a PTSD episode, causing him to spiral into a state of grief and despair.

In his distressed state, Henry goes into the woods and imagines hearing Julia's voice, telling him not to give up. Tragically, Henry's anguish leads him to commit a shocking act - he goes to meet with a prostitute, believing she is actually his wife Julia, and they have sex. This betrayal will undoubtedly test the couple's relationship, as they both have had to make difficult choices to survive.

As series creator Matthew B. Roberts notes, "Henry's not in his right mind. In his heart, that's Julia. And Julia had to do something on her end as well to survive. Those are the questions that Outlander always asked - and we're going to keep asking those questions in Blood of My Blood. How far would you go? What would you do to be with the person you love? And what do these traumas do to you as a person?"
