If you want to avoid spoilers for Beecham House, stop reading this article now.
Realising that he could end up losing Margaret (Dakota Blue Richards), Beecham gathered his family and friends together to tell them the truth about his life and his son. He recounted the story of how he saved the Maharaja (Denzil Smith) and his daughters Kamlavati (Saiyami Kher) and Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda).
During his recovery he fell in love with and married Kamlavati, who was August’s mother. Beecham and Kamlavati had to go into hiding with August to protect their family but Kamlavati was shot and killed. That forced Beecham to relocate with August, promising the Maharaja that he would protect his August’s identity.
It was revealed that when August grows older, he would eventually become the Maharaja so people would be out to find and kill him if they knew he was still alive and hadn’t died along with Kamlavati like they believed.
The episode also saw Samuel (Marc Warren) betray Beecham again by working with Castillon (Grégory Fitoussi).
