Dowager reunited the Russian prince and princess. The
princess was mean and bitchy and not at all grateful. Dowager refused the
prince’s romantic overture. She later
confessed to Cousin Isabelle that she was going to run away with the prince all
those years ago, but the princess caught them, thereby saving the Dowager’s
reputation. Dowager returned the favor by saving her in the present (from
wherever she was), so they are even. Also, Isabelle broke it off with Lord
Merton because she doesn’t want to come between him and his sons.
The rest of the family was out of town at a castle with
Rose’s in-laws. Turns out Lord Sinderby (sp?) has a love child. The baby mama
showed up at the castle and Rose, Mary and Lord Grantham rescued him from the
potential scandal by pretending she was their guest. Thomas was responsible; he
got Sinderby’s rude butler telling secrets while drunk in a plot to bring down
the butler.
Mary met another
potential love interest (played by Matthew Goode) at the castle. Edith may have
met one too. Lord Grantham sweetly confronted Edith about Marigold being her
child, as did Tom. Only Mary doesn’t know now. Lord Grantham has an ulcer, so
he had to eat better and swear off alcohol through Christmas. Tom is moving to Boston with little Sybi
after Christmas.
Bates confessed to killing whats-his-name, so Anna was
released. Bates then went on the lam. Moseley and Baxter found the pub Bates
was in during the murder and a witness, so his name was cleared. Anna may be
rearrested, but for now Bates is back home and they can spend Christmas
together. Carson
bought the cottage and slapped Mrs. Hughes’ name on the deed without her permission (she can’t
afford it because all of her extra money goes to caring for her
mentally-challenged sister). And out of nowhere, Carson proposes to Hughes, who readily
accepts. Awwww.
