Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNanny West calls baby Sybil Branson a "Filthy cross-breed". Many people in the 1800s considered the Irish to be a lower form of evolution, with signs and advertisements saying "No Irish Need Apply". While these views were anachronistic in the 1920s, many people still held them - as is shown by Nanny West's prejudice.
- GoofsWhen nanny West is about to be sacked, Cora rings downstairs for someone to come up. The bell rings all the way in the basement, as we've seen many times. Then the person has to climb at least 3 flights of stairs and walk down a long hallway to get to the room. Yet Mrs Hughes shows up exactly 14 seconds after the bell is rung. This would not have been possible even if they had an elevator, which they did not. It would have taken a minimum of 90 seconds to get from the basement to the nursery.
- Quotes
Lady Mary Crawley: [morosely] The truth is I don't think I'm going to be a very good mother.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Why not?
Lady Mary Crawley: Because somehow with Matthew's death, all the softness that he found in me seems to have dried up and drained away.

Someone who's not happy about Edna's reappearance is Mrs Hughes, who pursed her lips at the news and all but turned to the audience to declare Edna's predatory loins a ticking time bomb. Come on Hughesy it could be worse, at least she's not that one who snogged the Earl that time. More pressing for Mrs Hughes was the task of digging up a new character for series four by rifling around in Mr Carson's wastepaper bin. She came up trumps with by plucking out a wheezing old Worzel Gummidge from the workhouse, one who - very promisingly - used to be Carson's song and dance partner in his theater days. There may be bad blood between them now, but mark my words, we'll see a music hall tap duo number from Charlie Carson and friend before the series is out. Anachronistic it may be, but I'd do anything for it to be All That Jazz complete with fishnets and heels...On the subject of butlers, we spent far too much time this week with Downton's very own Charlie Brown, Mr Molesley. Julian Fellowes no doubt keen to point out that it's not only the family that lose out when a toff dies but also their staff, Molesley had to cope both with unemployment and the indignity of once again being Downton Abbey's out-of-place comic relief (I still wake up in cold sweats thinking about that cricket match). Off you go to your new life wherever it is Molesley, there's a good man.
