S1·E13 Encounter

Twenty years have passed (the Great War slips by here) as the third generation of Forsytes takes center stage. Jon has grown into an earnest and naive young man who decides to train as a farmer at Holly and Val’s horse farm in Surrey. Fleur has become an impetuous, beautiful, thoroughly spoiled young woman. A chance meeting at June’s art gallery sets the stage for the relationship which will affect the remainder of the series. Fleur manipulates a visit to Holly and Val’s, where she and Jon become infatuated. Aware that a feud exists between their families, but ignorant of the specifics, they promise to hold onto their love forever.
