## Summary

In the sixth episode of season two of *Outlander: Blood of My Blood*, Dougal MacKenzie is captured and tortured, then rescued by Brian Fraser and Murtagh. Before leaving, Brian stops Dougal from killing one of his captors, who is revealed to be Black Jack Randall, a character from *Outlander*. The reveal links the prequel’s story to the original series and prompted actor Sam Retford to apologise to Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser.

Retford says Dougal’s volatile nature gives him freedom as a performer, while his relationship with Maura brings moments of lightness amid the wartime grief. The episode also features the death of Angus, which deepens the loss for Dougal and his companions. In discussing the torture scenes, Retford described wearing magnetic shackles, though the available article text cuts off before he explains the full experience.
