‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Star Hints at What’s Next After That Shocking Cliffhanger

After Murtagh tells Grace he loves her in “The Dance”, their new relationship faces an abrupt challenge: she is due to accompany John Cameron to the West Indies. Actor Rory Alexander says Murtagh is desperate to find a way to stay with her, leaving their future uncertain at the episode’s cliffhanger.

Alexander describes the relationship as especially meaningful because Murtagh has long wanted to feel wanted, and Grace freely choosing him gives him a sense of trust and connection he has lacked. He also discusses Murtagh’s careful approach to intimacy after Grace’s past experiences, and the practical awkwardness of filming their corset scene.
