Love Story Episode 5 will air on FX and Hulu on February 26. The upcoming episode is titled 'Battery Park' and the official synopsis for the episode reads as follows:

''John asks an important question. Carolyn and John publicly feud.''

Ryan Murphy's latest anthology romance series is inspired by Elizabeth Beller's book Once Upon A Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and charts the whirlwind courtship and marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the most iconic couple of the 20th century.

The upcoming episode will make the couple's situation even more difficult as they will come under public and media scrutiny. The episode title likely refers to the February 1996 incident, where the couple was famously photographed having a heated & physical argument in a public park. Love Story is gearing up to dramatize yet another incident from the couple's life that made headlines, highlighting the intense pressure and media frenzy surrounding their relationship.

The series is led by Paul Anthony Kelly as JFK Jr. and Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, alongside an ensemble cast of Naomi Watts, Grace Gummer, Alessandro Nivola, Dree Hemingway, and Leila George.

A quick recap of Love Story Episode 4

The latest episode of Love Story saw John and Carolyn in the early stages of their relationship. John becomes certain about his growing feelings for Carolyn but she still harbors doubts about being a Kennedy wife, primarily because of the family's status and influence. Carolyn does her best to keep John at a distance but eventually caves in and accepts his invitation to meet some friends.

The meeting turns out to be a disaster as John's friends judge Carolyn for playing hard to get and showing keen interest in his business. This disastrous streak continues when John invites Carolyn to meet her sister Caroline. She is surprised to see the whole Kennedy family gathered to celebrate Caroline's birthday.

The final moments of Love Story Episode 4 follow John as he receives an anonymous letter claiming Carolyn initiated a relationship with him because of his power and wealth. The note paints a negative image of Carolyn, claiming that she pestered her boss to introduce her to JFK Jr. in hopes of becoming a Kennedy wife. This creates a rift between the couple and they break up.

After some sound advice from his sister, John apologizes, and the couple makes up. However, another disaster is just around the corner, as the tabloids have published details of JFK Jr. and Carolyn's secret relationship.

Tune in to Love Story Episode 4 on FX and Hulu on February 26.
