The characters of Downton Abbey keep telling us that things are changing, but the more things change on the show, the more they stay the same. Isobel and the Dowager Countess are still butting heads over the hospital, just as they did back in Season 1. Cora is still trying to make peace, while Robert is still trying to persuade her to stay out of it. Really, upstairs, the status quo continues to reign. It’s downstairs where true change is happening.
Mr. Carson, conservative as he is, is throwing aside convention to marry Mrs. Hughes, even if he can’t quite work up the fortitude to stand up to Lady Mary. Daisy, for all her youthful poor judgment, is agitating for the social upheaval we know is coming, while Barrow is feeling the brunt of the coming layoffs. As Lord Grantham said, who has an under-butler these days? Poor Barrow. He might soon displace Edith as the most pitiable character on the show.
