The final season’s Episode 2 opens with a messenger on a bike. Oh no! Bad news? Well, no one died. Tom loves America and so does Rose. She is even going to summer in the Hamptons! Jolly. Mary speculates that Rose might be pregnant, but Edith is unimpressed, sniping back with “As usual, you take two and two and make fifty-three.” Mee-Oww.
I have noticed that even though they have high drama in their personal lives, those servants sure are busy! Mr. Molesly is even ironing the newspaper — I kid you not!
Lord Grantham confesses that he is trying to do some ironing out himself, over the hospital dispute. He wants to resolve things before there is “blood on the carpet!” Indeed!
