"Those well-versed in Outlander lore may have perked up at the mention of a baby named William, since, if Brian and Ellen's story follows the path it did in Outlander, not too long from now, they'll be welcoming their first child, a boy named William. We also know from Outlander that Jamie's older brother William tragically died from smallpox when he was a young boy. If Baby Beauchamp is still in play, it seems odd that Brian and Ellen would name their son William, too."
"Some theories: Is it possible to protect the baby and/or Julia and Henry, Brian and Ellen take William and raise him as their own? Is it then possible that William didn't actually die, but they made up that story when they were able to reunite him with Julia and Henry at some point? Or, perhaps this name coincidence points to something more tragic:"
Lord Lovat attempts to baptize Julia's baby under his name and claims a marriage before birth, while Brian secretly baptizes the child as William Henry Beauchamp. The name William echoes Outlander lore where Jamie's older brother William died of smallpox as a child, creating puzzling parallels. Multiple theories arise: Brian and Ellen might take and raise William to protect him, William might not have actually died and be reunited with his parents later, or the name coincidence could signal tragedy or simply shared preference. Julia and Davina form a friendship after childbirth and Davina learns Henry is William's father.
