The wrong sister died.
It was 2 episodes in 1!
Lets just wait and see what next weeks episode brings.
Im always suspicious when drama-filled shows end an episode on a tidy, happy note.
It generally means a shocking bender is around the corner.
He totally, completely would.
This deliciously long episode is full of ups, downs, go arounds and changes.
First off, Bates gets out!

Love, however, can make even the most devious self destruct.
Misled by OBrien, Thomas sneaks into Jimmys bedroom and creepily starts to kiss him.
Jimmy wakes up and yells bloody murder.
Albert comes in, all confused.
Carson is put into a quandary.
You go man, stand up for your rights!
Bates and Anna corner OBrien and threaten her with the magic word: soap.
OBrien caves and gets Jimmy to back off.
Shes that much of a bitch.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Mary are terrible at communication (not boding particularly well for their marriage).
Uh-oh…is this a set up for one or both of them not conceiving?
Let the babymaking keep on truckin!
Matthew has other matters to deal with other than, erm, his downstairs issues.
His father-in-law is being particularly stupid about managing/consolidating the estate.
He favors a Ponzi scheme (yes, they went there) to get some quick cash.
Haaaand over the pen, dude.
Youre not allowed to sign anything ever again until you take an ECON 101 class.
Robert gives Matthew I told you so looks.
Matthew makes stressed out faces.
Lord Grantham further promotes his douchebaggery by being a pain in the neck about Branson christening little Sybil Catholic.
No one else cares and he loses that fight.
The Village cricket match.
Jimmy also is promoted to first footman and Albert is unhappy and calls the police anyways.
Everyone rolls their eyes at Albert who makes what did I do?
faces, and Lord Grantham makes the police go away with British suaveness.
Ah, the British.
The episode ends with Branson, Lord Grantham and Matthew all having a bromance moment.
Aw, Downton will survive with the old and the new combining their powers to make everything awesome!
Or, will it….?
