What I want to know is where is Edith’s boyfriend, and has he dumped her or has something happened to him. Now Edith is knocked up, and he’s missing in action. Plus what hold does Thomas have over the Lady of the House’s maid? And where, of course, will the budding romance between the black singer and I forgot her name, go now that Mary has seen them making out? So many loose ends, so little time.
Finally got a chance to watch it!
The plot line with Edith is not surprising. She seems destined to be unlucky in love. Yes, what happened to dear Michael? Edith signed that document giving her power of attorney over his affairs while he was away. Is he a fugitive from the law or from some business dealings gone awry? He always seemed like a smarmy sort of fellow. But I don’t see what he could get from Edith by compromising her. I guess a payoff from her Papa of some kind.
I chuckled at Mary’s reaction to seeing Rose kiss the band leader. Who is she to cast judgement after having that amir die in her bed, then plotting to cover up the situation? I don’t think the relationship with Rose and the band leader will go anywhere. I just think it was a plot line to reveal the racial prejudices present at that time.
It’s fun to see Isobel get back her spunk. I had missed the repartee between her and Violet during the early part of the season. That’s a highlight of the series, IMO.
Will something develop between Mary and that land use analyst? They got off to a rocky start, but there are some sparks there. Reminded me of Pride and Prejudice. That actor was Foyle’s son (the RAF pilot) in Foyle’s War. Dashing fellow and good actor so I hope he sticks around for a bit.
Bates confirmed Anna’s suspicions that if the rapist were found, he would murder him.
There were several mentions of Cora’s brother, Harold. Wonder if they’re setting the stage for him to cross the pond? Has he been in the series before? I just recall her mother.
Thomas has something on Cora’s maid. He said as much. What kind of information is Thomas after? Seems as if he wants any kind of scuttlebutt she can dish out, but is there something specific he wants? Does he still have it in for Bates and wants to find a way to get rid of him once and for all?
