Outlander fans distraught at 'devastatingly cruel' theory Claire was kept from parents
Outlander fans have been theorising that a "devastating" plot line regarding Claire Fraser and her parents is going to come out in the prequel Blood of My Blood. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from the Outlander franchise. As Outlander fans eagerly anticipate the prequel Blood of My Blood, a chilling theory has emerged concerning Claire and her parents, Henry and Julia Beauchamp. Claire Fraser (portrayed by Caitriona Balfe) had a tragic childhood, losing her parents in a car crash when she was just five-years-old. This led to her adoption by her uncle Quentin Lambert Beauchamp (Prentis Hancock), a historian and archaeologist who instilled in her a love for history. However, with the upcoming release of Blood of My Blood on Friday, August 9, on MGM+, the prequel has sparked numerous questions about Claire's parents. Hints suggest that after Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Moriston (Hermoine Corfield) fall in love during the First World War, Julia finds herself transported back to 1714 via the iconic Highland stones. It's suggested that she and Henry are separated by time but remain determined to reunite. A Reddit user posed an intriguing question: "I just had this thought... if it turns out Claire's parents ended up living their lives in the past, wouldn't it be possible they were alive and well when she went through the stones?" In response, another fan agreed: "That was my thought when I saw the trailer. "What if the stones were reuniting her with her parents and Jamie accidentally 'interrupted' that." A third emotionally remarked: "That would be such a devastatingly cruel twist of fate. "Claire travels to when her parents are but no one's the wiser and by the time it's revealed they've already died of old age." As yet, there has been no confirmation whether either Balfe or Heughan will return to their roles as Claire and Jamie in Blood of My Blood. However, given that time travel features heavily in the MGM+ series, there remains a chance their storylines could intersect in the spin-off. During a Q&A session about Blood of My Blood, Balfe admitted: "I did not start the show thinking I would ever meet my parents. "I didn't know that these guys were going to be part of the prequel and I was super excited when I found out they were because I think I was like, 'Oh great, like it's really cool that Claire's parents are in the show.' "Having met Hermione and Jeremy, I'm like they are definitely fitting parents."

ITV Karen Pirie season two ending explained as devastating murder case solved
Karen Pirie has returned to ITV with a second season and a new case to solve After a lengthy three-year hiatus, the much-anticipated return of Karen Pirie has graced our screens with its second series on ITV. Adapted from Val McDermid's acclaimed Inspector Karen Pirie novels, the drama features Outlander star Lauren Lyle as the eponymous protagonist, portraying a bold and spirited Scottish detective "with a quick mouth and a tenacious desire for the truth". The latest series, entitled A Darker Domain, sees Pirie embroiled in yet another cold case, peeling back layers of deception to unearth the grim realities shrouded in secrecy and a tangled web of potential motives. The three-part season exposes the 1984 kidnap of a charming heiress to a vast oil fortune, Catriona Grant, and her two-year-old son Adam. They were brutally taken and held at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife, with the ransom notes leading to an uncontrollable press storm. However, as the kidnappers retreated into silence and the police investigation hit a dead end, the fate of Catriona and Adam remained shrouded in enigma, reports the Mirror. The discovery of a corpse connected to the original kidnapping, the first shred of evidence in decades, propels Pirie and her squad into what could be the defining case of their careers, all while under the watchful eye of Catriona's father. "As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear... the past is far from dead," hints the tantalising synopsis. Karen Pirie season two ending explained - what happened to Catriona Grant? In a startling revelation, it turns out that Catriona (portrayed by Julia Brown) was complicit in her own abduction. Motivated by a desire to retaliate against her father Brodie (played by James Cosmo) upon learning that he had exploited Fergus (John Michie) - Adam's covert biological father - to conceal the fatalities caused by his oil operations, Cat and her boyfriend Mick (Mark Rowley) orchestrated a faux kidnapping. Her plan was to abscond with her father's wealth and start afresh with Adam, but this scheme was thrown into chaos when Mick's mates Andy and Kevin got entangled in their plot. Mick, sceptical of Kevin, aimed to keep Cat's involvement in the kidnapping under wraps, leading to a heated debate about whether they should disclose the truth to Kevin. When Kevin eavesdropped on their dispute, he threatened to expose the truth to Brodie, prompting Cat to shoot him in the head, resulting in his death. His body was discovered years later, triggering the commencement of the investigation. However, his remains weren't the only ones unearthed. Pirie's team stumbled upon Cat's body in a cave, with viewers soon discovering that her mother, Brodie's former wife Mary (Frances Tomelty), was responsible for her death following an emotional confession. Fergus and Brodie had uncovered Cat's role in orchestrating the entire kidnapping, and arranged a meeting with Mick, Andy and Cat to hand over the money. Unbeknownst to them, Mary had trailed them armed with a gun, intending to frighten off the actual kidnappers, oblivious to the fact that her daughter had been aware of the whole situation all along. Upon reaching the cave, she fired two shots, accidentally killing Cat and triggering a collapse that left her trapped inside. Mick, Andy, and Adam managed to get away, while Brodie and Mary concealed the truth for years, clinging to the hope that Cat had somehow survived. They weren't the only ones to discover the truth however, as Adam, re-named Gabriel after Mick raised him in Italy, learned who he really was and about his biological father and mother. The case ends with the arrests of Mary and Brodie, and Adam meeting his biological father Fergus, who is also on trial, but choosing to continue living his life with Mick in Malta, as he couldn't be reached by the Scottish authorities there. "There's no joy in closing a case like this, no joy, no celebration," Karen reflects as the series draws to a close. "Because my job is about finding answers, and I hope those answers bring peace. "But sometimes they aren't the answers that anyone wants to hear, people aren't who you expect them to be, victims don't always fit the ideal narrative. "Money and power can help you re-write history until even you believe it, but [in the end] everyone needs the truth, so I'll keep looking for it."
