Spoilers for 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter’ Episode 3

LONDON, ENGLAND: 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 3 has a lot to unpack for the viewers as something is going on with every character, but of course, the focus continues to remain on Clara Dunn, Frederick Trenchard, and most importantly, their marriage.

They have good days and bad, but this latest episode might just have showcased their lowest point so far.

With no ill intentions, Clara decided to meddle between her husband and his brother, Reverend James Trenchard, despite knowing bits and pieces of their relationship, narrated from the perspective of Frederick.

However, the viewers and Clara's sister, Emily, all know that James is a much better person than Frederick would have led Clara to assume. What unfolds in 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 3 is the aftermath of a letter.

Clara Dunn finally gets in touch with James Trenchard

Clara Dunn is unaware of much about the history between Frederick Trenchard and James Trenchard. Frederick also explicitly conveyed that their past is unpleasant, and he has no desire to revisit it, as depicted in previous episodes of 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter.'

However, Clara's curiosity was piqued when her sister had nothing but praise for the Reverend.

This eventually led to Clara writing a letter to James, and they finally met in 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 3. This meeting was gentle, with James making it more than known to Clara that he would love nothing but to be able to meet Frederick and eventually reconcile with him.

After this, Clara decides by herself that she will attempt to fix things between her husband and his brother, but things don't go as planned for Lady Trenchard.

The rollercoaster of the Trenchard marriage continues

In 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter’ Episode 3 matter spirals downward a little more quickly than one would have imagined.

While Clara had invited James to reconcile with Frederick, she wasn’t expecting him to show up, unannounced, at their home. And when this happens, none of the characters are prepared for it.

James and Frederick face one other before Clara can intervene, and Frederick makes it more than clear that he wants James to leave, quite loudly too.

Once James leaves, Frederick’s anger shifts toward his wife as feels deceived that she went behind his back to talk to James and invite him into their home. This has created newer and bigger problems in the Trenchard marriage.

'Belgravia: The Next Chapter’ Episode 3 is now streaming on MGM+
