In Masters of Sex season 1 episode 9, titled "Involuntary," the main characters, Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, are faced with new challenges in their research on human sexuality. They are tasked with evaluating a group of prisoners who have volunteered to participate in their study. Dr. Masters is hesitant to include them, but Virginia convinces him that their participation is vital to their research.

As the study gets underway, both Dr. Masters and Virginia realize that they are dealing with a population that is not cooperative and may not be entirely truthful in their responses. Dr. Masters struggles with the ethical implications of continuing the study, while Virginia becomes increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress.

Meanwhile, Dr. Masters' relationships with both his wife and his mistress become more complicated. His wife discovers his affair and confronts him, while his mistress becomes afraid that he will leave her for his wife. These personal issues begin to affect Dr. Masters' work, and Virginia becomes concerned about the impact on their research.

It highlights the struggles they face as they try to push boundaries of scientific research, and the consequences of being too bold or too cautious.
