The Sinderbys have taken Brancaster Castle in Northumberland for their holiday. It would seem a visit to spend a holiday with Rose’s in-laws is in order. He fears for his wife and as such he has no plans to attend the family on their upcoming visit to the place Rose is calling home… The Crawleys’ Departure
She seems proud to support Anna no matter where it may lead – Bravo, Mary! This doesn’t stop trusty butler Carson from worrying over the message Mary’s visit may send. Mary brushes aside her concern without a care as she’s prone to do. Having been arrested on the testimony of an eyewitness, Anna is more worried about the press learning Mary was visiting her in prison than clearing her own name. It isn’t just the bars that remind us, it’s the visual image of Lady Mary visiting her ladies maid. We open with a stark reminder: Anna is in jail. Most of it is good mixed in with some bittersweet tugs on our heartstrings. Not at its best, not at its worst, just existing through the clangs of time.After the trauma of episode eight, there is a lifting of the “burden” in this, the finale of season five. As far as the regular season goes, this year hasn't been great or terrible. "Season 5, Episode 8" set up the final episode very clearly: Branson will not leave until after Christmas, and the Sinderbys have invited everyone from Downton to vacation with them (as we know the Christmas Special always finds the family somewhere other than home). Patmore regarding Archie having a memorial marker. He's selling off land and heirlooms for good reasons, being gracious to Branson, picking up on the fact that Marigold is Edith's child (whom he shall love), going with the flow of progress, and doing a really sweet thing all on his own for Mrs. He's made huge leaps as a character this year, aside from his treatment of Cora during the Bricker incident (and I do not blame him at all for what happened with the troll at the dinner table). To end on a positive note, though, I want to give a moment to Robert, our Earl of Grantham.
Yet why was Lady Sinderby so insistent on this wedding, anyway? The only thing interesting about the entire affair was seeing how Rose's truly awful mother Susan would misbehave next. How long did that engagement last, a day? And everyone was perfectly fine with a registry office wedding? Maybe it just shows how little thought most of the characters give to Rose at all that no one really cared one way or the other how things went down. In the neutral zone, per usual, we have Atticus and Rose's whirlwind relationship. Apparently Thomas is a deft hand at poker. "Next time, ask your Uncle Thomas," he cautions the naive Andy.

Her tricking the hired footman Andy into spending his savings so she could drink for free was over-the-top, but, it did allow for yet another opportunity for Thomas to redeem himself, if only in secret. Denker's spats with Spratt have been amusing, but never did I suspect her as a basement booze-hound. Carson's comments about Tony not being good enough for Mary were also very sharp.Īs for the new: every time there is a new member of staff introduced to Downton, we should all know by now that drama will soon follow. They see the good in her, and also know of her sorrows in a very clear way. Only two people have ever really known the person of Mary - Carson and Matthew (Anna mostly stays out of it). Hughes have together, and that lovely relationship between Carson and Mary. The same is true with the easy rapport Carson and Mrs. It's sweet, and subtle (for Downton), and I applaud the time the show is taking with it (even though Molesley has gone from bumbling fool to part of the intelligentsia in a matter of weeks). The continued flirtations between Molesley and Baxter remind me of early Anna and Bates, before that train derailed. It's a rare situation where both viewers and the character can sense that it would be better to move on, even though he will be missed. He shared some very sweet moments with Mary and with Edith in "Season 5, Episode 8," but the truth is, aside from getting involved with that troll, and doing a little business regarding housing, he doesn't really serve much of a purpose. Let's start with the episode's best moments: Branson is getting a very nice send-off from the estate and the show, as he is cherished and appreciated in turn.
