A thick fog envelops London, masking tragedy. Irene waits to flee with Bosinney, who's driven to distraction when learning of Irene's rape. The next day, the Forsyte men gather en masse to support Soames, as the case of Forsyte vs Bosinney is heard in court. With the defendant nowhere to be found, the case is dropped. June begs Old Jo to save Bosinney by purchasing the house at Robin Hill, now finished but deserted. Brothers Old Jo and James, and their sons Young Jo and Soames, gather at the morgue to identify a man run down by a carriage in the fog.
