'Franklin' Episode 3 ended on a baffling note where Benjamin Franklin's close friend Edward Bancroft is seen deceiving him for money.

Meanwhile, Franklin's otherwise derailed mission regains momentum as he learns about America's victory in Saratoga. The news motivates him to set up his press once again.

In the upcoming episode, we are expected to see Franklin navigating through new adversities as he not only faces danger from Bancroft's betrayal but also an old rival.
