LONDON, ENGLAND: 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4 delves into the lives of various characters in MGM+'s period drama.

The latest episode sheds light on Emily Dunn, Clara Dunn, Frederick Trenchard, and James Trenchard, offering intriguing developments for each. However, Reverand James' story appears to be taking a new direction.

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

As 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4 unfolds, secrets about Reverand James Trenchard begin to unravel as he is spotted at a spa-like establishment.

During this particular scene, James locks his eyes with another man, and after a brief moment, he stands up, drops the towel that was over his shoulder, and proceeds to walk away with the mysterious man. 

One of the people who works for Frederick Trenchard spots this little interaction, however the episode shifts to James returning home later that night as he breaks down as soon as the door closes behind him.

There were evident hints at James' sexuality in 'Belgravia: The Next Chapter' Episode 4, suggesting that this aspect of his character is bound to be explored in the upcoming episodes.
