In the opening scenes of 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4, James Trenchard and Clara Dunn cross paths once more, and possibly for the last time, as proposed by the pair.

During this scene, James reveals his parent's death and Frederick's absence during that period. This prompts Clara to wonder if she truly knows Frederick as well as she thought she did. 

While Clara doesn't get all the answers she seeks, the yearning for a connection with his brother is on James' face. However, 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4 isn't really about James and his family, instead, it delves into James and his loneliness. 

Secrets unravel in 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4
