When we last saw the Forsytes, Soames (Joshua Orpin) had married Irene (Millie Gibson), though the dancer had her doubts about the man and the marriage. Regardless, there is a passion there, and the duo heads to Paris to make all of Irene’s dancing dreams come true. Jo (Danny Griffin) was handed an ultimatum by his wife, Frances: either kill the love he has for Louise  (Eleanor Tomlinson) and the illegitimate kids he has by her, or “face the consequences.” In business, the firm voted to keep Jo in charge, but their faith in him is slightly rattled while Soames and his father, James (Jack Davenport) played their hand and failed. And June is head over heels in love with Philip, who is beneath her as far as class, so he poses a possible problem on the horizon.

In Episode 4 of the Masterpiece: The Forsytes, each member of the noble clan is coming face to face with irrevitable truths they can no longer hide, no matter the feelings of others, be it in business or the business of the heart. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 1 Episode 4 of The Forsytes.
