Shogun’s John Blackthorne got freaky in Episode 4, but who it was with remains unclear.
The hitFXminiseries has transported audiences back to 16th-century Japan.
This included the Englishman further learning Japanese customs at the hand of Mariko and embracing his new home.
However, the next morning, both parties seemingly refused to acknowledge what happened.
Blackthorne and Mariko share a couple of knowing glances during the moment.

The Anjin and his Japanese companion share a long-running romantic relationship throughout the book.
