In 'Franklin', Edward Bancroft, a close ally of Benjamin Franklin, has been secretly working for English spies. He has been passing on crucial information of Franklin's plans for America, thus endangering America's fate in the war.

The episode will also focus on Temple Franklin's (Noah Jupe) adventures as he decides to participate in war against Franklin's wishes.

The official synopsis for 'Franklin' Episode 6 reads, "Franklin suspects traitors are everywhere. Vergennes makes a final offer. Jacques introduces Temple to the thrill of the hunt."
