This is a good transitional episode. Several story lines are moved forward. One is Molesly, who has lost Matthew, for whom he was valet. Now he is out the door without a how do you do. We have O'Brien slithering off, leaving Cora without a dresser (fretting that there is no one to dress you is the height of royal arrogance and entitlement). Well, now a familiar face reappears and we know it's going to be trouble. Mary is lurking around the house like Morticia Addams, getting more pale and sullen, six months after the tragedy. We are in for a wild ride this fourth season. Can't wait.
