The hospital drama turned bloody — literally — during what may well be the most memorable dinner in Downton history. Not only is there a future prime minister at the table, but Lord Grantham spews blood all over the fine china when his ulcer bursts. The awful incident does reveal one long-kept secret: Mary finally figures out the truth about Marigold’s identity.
Now, a look at what happened with the couples this week:
“Can’t we stop this beastly row?” Robert asks — then vomits blood all over the table and on his wife, who sits across from him.
Everyone is shocked, but Dr. Clarkson is present to tend to him. Cora rushes to his side, as Robert continues to eject blood. “If this is it, just know that I have loved you very, very much,” he chokes out. As gross as the scene is, we couldn’t help but say awwww at his dramatic declaration.
“This isn’t it,” Cora replies firmly.
Robert is rushed to the hospital for an operation, and will recover. Crisis averted. But Lord Grantham will have to take it easy from now on. As Mary tells Tom, they’ll need to take over managing the estate. Lady Mary Crawley’s reign has truly begun.
Edith and Bertie
Edith’s got a date! She travels to London to meet up with Bertie, where they walk and talk in the park about his cousin, the Marquess of Hexham. Seems Cousin Peter likes to paint the young men of Tangiers (uh, can we book a ticket for Thomas? Or maybe Cousin Peter should come visit?).
As for the singletons:
Daisy: Mr. Mason moves into Yew Tree Farm, and asks Daisy to come live with him. She resists and doesn’t seem to want any of the other servants befriending him. She really is the worst.
Andy: He volunteers to help Mr. Mason with the physical chores at the farm, especially with raising the pigs, but is dismayed when Mr. Mason gives him some books to read first. Turns out, he can’t read! Thomas comes to the rescue and offers to teach him, even though Andy has been treating him like dirt lately.
