BLOOD OF MY BLOOD S2 EP3: Baddies, Bats, Booby Traps, Betrayal + a death & pregnancy reveal
That's Outlandishly HotShow Notes
This week, Nikki and Lisa are recapping Blood of My Blood Season 2, Episode 3, Rabbits Don’t Swim, as Ellen Mackenzie turns Castle Leoch into a deadly obstacle course, the women fight back against an attempted takeover, and Lord Lovat’s betrayal sends Brian and Dougal straight into a Redcoat trap. It's giving home alone but with knives.
We also discuss: • Ellen Mackenzie proving she is THE baddest woman in the Highlands • James MacKinney storming Castle Leoch to claim the Mackenzie seat • Red Jacob’s iconic lesson about rabbits, foxes and underestimating women • The women of Leoch taking matters into their own hands with secret passages, clever traps and a whole lot of violence • Maura throwing shade at Castle Leoch and having a VERY complicated relationship with her in-laws • Janet’s heartbreaking sacrifice and Ellen’s devastating goodbye 💔 • Ellen’s HUGE pregnancy reveal and the promise to name her baby Janet Fraser • Julia discovering the truth about Henry and Seema, and why things at Castle Leathers are getting VERY uncomfortable • Lord Lovat turning his coat and betraying the Mackenzies by leading Brian and Dougal into a Redcoat ambush 👀 • Colum and Ellen’s heartbreaking conversation about family, loyalty and the choices that can never be undone • Ellen setting off to warn the men, because apparently one Mackenzie woman has to save EVERYONE • And, obviously, a whole lot of Fraser and Mackenzie business
Basically: baddie women, deadly castle booby traps, bats in the belfry, a devastating goodbye, a pregnancy reveal and a betrayal that could cost the men their lives. Ellen Mackenzie is THAT woman, but can she reach Brian and Dougal before it’s too late? We have THOUGHTS, girlies.

Nikki and Lisa are unpacking ALL of it, from Henry and Julia’s long-awaited reunion (and the Seema-shaped elephant in the room) to Brian choosing love over titles, Dougal being a baddie, and Murtagh proving that a little kindness and a handmade flower can go a very long way. Plus, that final twist? WE ARE NOT OKAY.
