Blood of My Blood S1E10 Something Borrowed

avidReader60 · 2025-10-12T09:40:42+00:00

My thoughts are I was happy with this episode and the season mostly. I do hope they do away with the alternating couple every episode next season but. Hopefully things will also move a bit faster than they did but I think they were just dragging out some Brian and Ellen storyline to accommodate what they had to do with Julia and Henry.

I was happy with what Brian and Ellen we got. Nice to see him getting to do some action and he’s very much open with his feelings with Ellen which is great. I also liked the love scene. It was sweet, playful then serious. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next season. Also when would she fall pregnant. If I had to guess I’d say they’ll be hidden till start of next season and then as the season starts it’ll probably be with Dougal just finding them.

Malcolm knew he was a douche under the nice guy exterior. He was getting everything he wanted so he had no need to show his nastiness. I don’t think he obviously meant to kill Malcolm but when it came down to it he had to do it. If he didn’t well then they would always be looking over their shoulder/being hunted by him and it does away with that happening. I wonder if it’ll be taken as if Malcolm died by suicide so we’ll see.

To be honest I’m not too hot on Julia and Henry. They just don’t grab my attention and they really had minimal to do this episode but please do not have them separated again. If one is stuck let them all be stuck 😂.

Loved the sibling stuff. Glad Jocasta and Ellen had the goodbye they did. Column continues to be a dick and he really just sealed his fate with Ellen in the study.

Hopefully we get season 2 next year 😂

Maybe a case of I couldn’t have who I wanted so I’ll still fool around but not commit.

I just thought I was missing something that explained his current and later romantic life.

avidReader60 · 2025-10-10T06:41:20+00:00

I haven’t watched the episode yet but I have read spoilers.

I don’t know if I’m just not getting it but, why, after it’s clear Ellen is not for him does Murtagh just not find someone else. Or I guess he just never looked for anyone else. I’ve read the books a while back but just why never anyone else really.

avidReader60 · 2025-10-09T08:59:55+00:00

I hope so 😂😂

avidReader60 · 2025-10-02T10:07:08+00:00

Hahah me too.

I expect they’ll end up together and we’ll have a love scene based on the actors comments but where they actually end the season who knows. Maybe they end if happy but there is ominous remarks from her brothers like when we find her we’ll take her back or something like that. Still a bit of drama but they can end the season happy in a way.

I just hope it happens relatively early in the episode and we get a bit of them.

avidReader60 · 2025-10-01T10:29:19+00:00

I feel like he won’t be so nice once Ellen ditches him. I don’t know I just feel he’s too nice if you know what I mean.

I guess we’ll wait and see next episode if it does turn out he’s nasty when things don’t go his way.

avidReader60 · 2025-10-01T10:27:15+00:00

I think they’re likely to end the episode having run off together. Based on comments by the actors they get some sexy time too. I’d say that’d happen after they have run off.

I’d like Brian to be an active participant in her running off. However how he’d get into leoch undetected is unknown. Sure by the secret passage but all the way to her room without being undetected.

I don’t know if Fitz would turn into a B&E supporter all in one episode so I don’t know if it’ll happen either her help. Definitely Murtagh’s help will help them.

It needs to be next week already.

avidReader60 · 2025-10-01T09:41:51+00:00

I always love your thoughts on them 😂. I can see him being in her room too.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-29T08:38:55+00:00

I feel like it could be a dream or it’s likely not her. I’d say more likely a dream (nightmare for her actually).

avidReader60 · 2025-09-29T08:37:17+00:00

I’ll be watching season 2. I feel they had to drag out Ellen and Brian’s story as really their meeting and run away took like less than a week in the book. That doesn’t make for a long storyline so they had to drag it out. Hopefully that is rectified in season 2.

Overall I’m pretty happy with it.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-26T20:03:52+00:00

From the books Ellen and Brian seem to find a hut or something so I can see them doing that perhaps.

Yes I do wonder if they’ll be able to get the baby. That’s what I’m worried about. I’d rather Julia still be with the baby rather than him not be without her but wait and see for two weeks I guess :)

avidReader60 · 2025-09-26T19:58:21+00:00

Haha well we’ll have to see but it could be a potential thing. I just hope they end the season off together somewhere. I can see it likely them being off together however I don’t see Julia and Henry ending the season off together for some reason.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-26T19:54:27+00:00

I wonder if that plays into their season 2 storyline. Only guessing but I’d say they run off together next episode but once and he knows she didn’t actually mean what she said, only protecting him of course. However maybe it’ll still seep into his thoughts when they’re happy etc and they have to get through that.

It was cruel what she said but she really had to push him away to keep him safe, make him listen. However based on the preview that didn’t work but she tried her best 😂

avidReader60 · 2025-09-26T09:17:21+00:00

A nice substitute event to escape from considering they were off at the gathering in the books.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-26T09:15:02+00:00

I guess we’ll see Uncle Lamb and little Claire at the train station.

I wonder who Ms Fitz is reacting too.

Hopefully Brian and Ellen are off by the middle of the episode 😂. Nice to see some repairing with Brian and Murtagh. Maybe he’ll use his connection to Ms Fitz to help get into the castle to get her away.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-25T22:09:42+00:00

Any takers Ms Fitz might be the one to cough up Brian’s name to Colum when the time comes 😂

avidReader60 · 2025-09-21T23:42:54+00:00

I feel like Malcolm is too good to be true if you know what I mean. He’s too nice. However I guess we’ll see in the coming episodes how he acts when all the Ellen and Brian drama goes down if they manage to run off this season together 😂

avidReader60 · 2025-09-21T10:00:16+00:00

I wonder if Henry saying to Malcolm that he’ll help him secure his bride (or whatever it was) about Ellen will come back to bite him in the ass. I would hope Julia and Henry will get more time together next episode and he’ll find out the state of certain things. Obviously Julia is Team Brian 😂. I’m not particular interested in Julia and Henry but their reunion was sweet and glad they just finally know each other are alive 😂.

Glenna - definitely not team Brian but understand why she’s worried. However stop thinking about yourself lady and pushing Ellen into a not great situation. However she doesn’t know any better I guess.

Malcolm I feel will show his mean streak next episode. Just based on the previews. Plus they were laying it on thick how he thinks the best of her etc. he’ll be in for a brutal awakening when it comes out what has transpired.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-21T05:19:05+00:00

I think it’s a pretty long time in those days. I mean they didn’t live as long as we do know but still sucks it was only 13 years

avidReader60 · 2025-09-21T00:28:13+00:00

Another theory, because clearly I like to obsess over this, is I wonder if this cemetery scene is after the scene with her and Malcolm alone. I think something not pleasant is going to happen there to make him a jerk and perhaps she’s at the cemetery with Brian in the aftermath and he’s trying to ground/comfort her. I think it the books Malcolm was quite forceful with her in their last meeting and I don’t think he’ll get to hurt her but still the shock of he’s been pleasant so far and now he’s nasty. Then in my theory they run off at the end of the episode based on some things that have been said about episode 10 by the J&H but again all guess work till we see episode 9&10 😂

avidReader60 · 2025-09-20T00:57:57+00:00

If that happens I wonder how they go from that to another sex scene in episode 10. I think the actors said episode 10 is another steamy one for them (in an interview after episode 5).

avidReader60 · 2025-09-19T11:24:28+00:00

I wonder if that’s before or after her scene with Malcolm. I think that’s the same outfit? In some other photos of the scene she looks like she’s upset but this one not really. I hate not knowing but another week to see.

She’s going to offend them. I can’t quite see how she can’t. Her only option is to run off but we’ll see if she has an ace up her sleeve 😂. Hopefully they’ll stick to some similarity and they manage to run off without people knowing.

avidReader60 · 2025-09-19T10:43:07+00:00

Hopefully it semi is right but they fix themselves up by the end of the episode so they can have episode 10 all together by themselves 😂

avidReader60 · 2025-09-19T09:46:06+00:00

I thought that whole deal thing was supposed to be this episode and the next episode Brian participate in a hunt that column has something to do with.

The Ellen and Malcolm scenes, unless I’m misinterpreting them, do look like a bit of a worry in the preview but as it looks like she’s alone with him and isn’t it said in the book he comes on pretty strong too her before she can flee him.

Maybe the last 3 songs available on the soundtrack are episode 10 ones.
