While there is a passionate, long-overdue kiss between Eliza and the Duke in Episode 5, it is immediately followed by an argument about her methods. They realize they are still the same stubborn people who can never fully agree. Miss Scarlet and the Duke - Season 4

Meanwhile, Blake confesses his feelings, but Eliza admits she is not ready to move on from the idea of William. The season finale leaves all three parties single, professional, and respectful. The tagline of Season 4 might as well be: Chemistry is not compatibility.

Trapped in a stalled carriage during a storm, Blake confesses that he isn't helping her for justice, but because he is "infatuated with her stubbornness."

The season opener wastes no time establishing the new status quo. We find Eliza drowning. Not literally, but financially and emotionally. Without the Duke’s unofficial protection, her male clients are evaporating.

In a gut-wrenching scene via correspondence, Eliza writes to the Duke in New York, confessing her struggles. He writes back—solicitous but distant—proving that the Atlantic Ocean is wider than just geography. The episode masterfully uses silence; the absence of the Duke’s booming voice in her office is a character in itself.

To survive, Eliza takes a case involving a missing aristocrat’s daughter. This case forces her to team up with the one man she swore she never would: Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard), a charismatic, roguish ex-convict turned informant.
