A Surprise, Indeed
3 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Isobel Crawley and the Dowager Countess fight, yet again, in a battle of keeping a young gardener's job. The old countess thinks that the gardener is a thief, but Isobel proves that he is innocent. I really love the relationship of the two. They're really amusing. Isobel's such a fiery spirit, and the Dowager Countess is so witty.

Meanwhile, Anna and Bates' relationship are being tested because of the rape that had happened to her that no one, except him and Mrs. Hughes, knows about. Bates really wants to avenge his wife, who is fearful that her husband might commit a murder for revenge.

Alfred is finally accepted in the Ritz hotel, to the dismay of Daisy. I really feel sad for Daisy, her love for him seems really unconditional and he doesn't even seem to care because he prefers Ivy. Meanwhile, Jimmy seems to want to do "it" with Ivy, who is horrified and disappointed. Daisy blames Ivy for choosing Jimmy over Alfred.

And the surprise. A jazz band is playing for the surprise birthday dinner party of Robert. The servants, especially Carson, are shocked by the black man, who is the lead singer.

Lady Edith also worries because Michael Gregson is missing. Oh Edith, when can you be lucky?
