And we’re off! Downton Abbey’s final season premiered with gusto, featuring traces of tradition (a good old-fashioned fox hunt) and signs of encroaching modernity (cocktails before dinner!). The premiere introduced several plotlines that will likely dominate the rest of the season: a battle royale between the Dowager Countess and Isobel over the fate of the local hospital; Lady Mary’s ascendancy over the estate; and the potential downsizing of the staff.
Mrs. Hughes deputizes Mrs. Patmore to bring up the subject with Carson, which leads to a couple of incredibly awkward (but also funny and surprisingly touching) conversations between the butler and cook. After their first chat, we needed a shot of port just as much as Mrs. Patmore.
“I love her, Mrs. Patmore. I am happy and tickled and bursting with pride that she would agree to be my wife,” Carson says, as we wipe a tear from our eyes. He then offers to let Mrs. Hughes out of the engagement, but she’s happy he wants her, “warts and all.” They share a very sweet kiss. Awww!
Man, these two really just can’t seem to catch a break, ever. Finally, the whole Mr. Green nonsense is resolved — another woman comes forward to confess to pushing him into the street. Good riddance! The family and the servants all gather downstairs to toast the good news, but Anna still isn’t happy.
