In which a main character secretly become the series' greatest villain
I dont know, guys.
That kidnapping seemed kind of justified.
And reading a bit between the lines, Mary suspects that her dear cousin may be pregnant.

Why does she think this to be the case?
That seems like a stretch, and Edith agrees.
As usual, you add two and two and get 53.
But dont get comfortable, girl.
Im coming after you in a bit.
Thanks, sir, but no thanks, sir.
I just dont want to be a servant on my wedding day, Mrs. Hughes says.
Is that so wrong?
Its not so wrong at all.
It doesnt matter whether thats downstairs or up, as Mary suggests later.
Its no wonder that she loses her temper.
If youre worried about Carsons future as a husband, theres a good reason for that.
Whats happening to you?
And Carsons cold shoulder wasnt reserved for only his future wife.
Things are bad enough already for the sometimes-villain.
NEXT: Lets talk about Barrow
Barrow has always been one of the more interesting characters on the show.
The writers are just like Cora in that way.
The matter hasnt evolved much in the intervening week.
Clarkson had the hospital painted so that he could be like, Look!
Its not very convincing, with every feeling even stronger about their position after the visit.
Thats all of us.
Sure, Mr. Bates.
Hearing more about Annas troubles, Mary proposes a solution.
A small operation 12 weeks into her next pregnancy should take care of the issue.
Anna has a few questions.
Its quite quick, the doctor replies.
Its a quite a noble cause for Daisy, but shes going about it in a most Daisy-like fashion.
Yes, thats quite the ominous tease.
What is the other possibility for Mr. Mason?
Is there perhaps another farm that the viewers already know of where the aging man can take up residency?
Its now time to talk about Edith as a villain ofDownton Abbey.
That being said, lets dive right into this bit of human tragedy.
(Because the problem is how Mrs. Drewe reacts and not what Edith did to upset her.)
So why not just make Mrs. Drewe go away?
Of course, that plan goes to crap at the fat stock show.
Its an otherwise beautiful day.
Theres bowling, Carson repressing Mrs. Hughes, and Mary winning the prize for best pig.
(Ugh, of course Her Ladyship wins.)
Something about this doesnt feel quite right, no?
The blame cant be equally shared like that when its your landlords daughter telling you what to do.
And for the best in this case, really means what is most convenient for me.
I almost want to sit the show down and say, Come on,Downton.
You know better than this.
