Before we chain ourselves to railings to demand the overdue release of Mr Bates from prison, an innocent man wrongly convicted of murder, it seems that his wife Anna has done the hard work for us.
We know her diligent search for the truth behind the death of Bates’s wife Vera has unearthed a new witness, someone who holds the key to his exoneration and freedom. But Bates’s chances of leaving that ghastly cell for ever look like they’ve been blown when circumstances, and possibly someone who wishes him ill, conspire against him.
Back in the chintzy luxury of Downton Abbey, relations between Matthew and Robert become frosty when Matthew has a few hard words to say about the running of the estate. And in the village, Isobel invites the Crawley women to a lunch cooked by ill-used Ethel. Just wait till Mr Carson gets wind of this grotesque insult to decorum.ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
6/8. Tempers fray as a kind gesture by Isobel backfires, while Mary fights Branson's corner when his decisions are put under scrutiny. Robert and Cora's relationship is under pressure, but can Violet make them see things differently? Bates goes to extreme lengths as his chance of freedo***ips away. Costume drama, starring Penelope Wilton, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern.

就大体说个意思吧！安娜努力找证据，但是狱中两个坏蛋暗中作祟，把他能出狱的希望给打碎了。于是贝茨做出了极端行为（就是预告里拿刀要杀了那个狱友···）
老爷算是黑了，因为马修在他管理庄园的方式上提了几句意见，两人关系恶化（马修不是继承人吗，老爷到底在想什么···）。
马修妈为了促进大家接受ethul，请唐家屯的女人们去她那里吃午饭。卡森显然认为这是很不庄重的。结果马修妈的好意适得其反，引起了一场争斗。
玛丽和小司机打起来了，就那么些事呗。
老爷和夫人关系冷淡了，这个预告里也有，看来老夫人又要出马了。
就这点事···

看一个电影或电视剧 往往看剧透先

多点剧透噻！！！

就这点事感觉信息量拍出来已经好难消化了。。。

Well, what can we say?
Last week's Downton came as a bit of a shock... We'd heard rumours that an important member of the Downton clan would be taking their final breath this series, but we certainly weren't expecting that tear-inducing, emotionally-draning episode.
What started off as excited chatter about the Abbey's new arrival soon got more serious when Dr Clarkson and visiting doctor Sir Philip started to disagree about Sybil's condition. While Sir Philip thought the youngest Crawley sister was merely in the early stages of a normal labour, Dr Clarkson - the family doctor - was concerned that she was suffering from pre-eclampsia and needed to get to a hospital.
Drama ensued and the debate soon turned into a family affair, with a frantic Cora siding with Dr Clarkson while Robert agreed with Sir Philip.
Moments later - much to our (momentary) relief - calm was restored when Sybil gave birth to a healthy baby girl and all seemed to be well. But the Crawley's happiness was not to last. Lady Sybil died later that night while her family helplessly stood around her.
Heartbreaking good-byes from the members of the Crawley family followed before Violet arrived at the house, unsure on her feet and shrouded in black to tip those dry-eyed Downton viewers over the edge.
As the episode came to a close Cora declared that she thought Robert was to blame for the death of Sybil - and so ended an hour of tense drama that left lovely Lady Sybil dead, poor Branson all alone and the newest member of the Crawley family without a mother...
Though somewhat overshadowed by the tragedy, the episode planted the seeds for plenty of other story lines too: Daisy and Ivy sparred in the kitchen; while Thomas dabbled in a spot of flirty clock winding with new footman, O'Brian urged Jimmy to allow his advances; Matthew put his foot in it by discussing management changes with a solicitor house after Sybil's death; and Cousin Isobel bade farewell to Mrs Bird and employed Ethel as her new housekeeper.
So what's next? We've got pictures of the drama to come this Sunday, so as usual we've made some spurious predictions...

While the Crawley family - and a host of Downton fans - continue to mourn the loss of Lady Sybil, the fight to free Bates carries on...
But who is this shadowy character visiting Mr Murray in his dingy drawing room?
Perhaps getting Bates out from behind bars is off the agenda and this is actually Mary come to give the solicitor a piece of her mind. This way she can cut out the bumbling middle man (Matthew) and make sure any plans to change Downton come to nothing..?
Or perhaps Downton is sticking with darker plot twists and this imposing figure is the first Mrs Bates risen from the dead? (Now that would be a shock and a half, wouldn't it?)
Whoever it is, we're sensing something a bit suspicious is going on in this dimly lit room. Just how far is Anna willing to go to get Mrs Bartlett to spill the beans about Bates?

While we are on the subject, Bates (yet again) appears to be doing himself few favours. If you ask us he's acting a bit like a murderer... Could Anna be going to all this length to free a man who is actually guilty?
Whether he killed the first Mrs Bates or not, he's definitely been airing a darker more violent side to his personality of late and we're not sure we like it.
The Mr Bates we used to know and love would never have been caught in this rather compromising position. Granted, his throat-slitting weapon of choice appears to be a bit of sharpened pencil, but one has to be resourceful behind bars...

Meanwhile, back at the Abbey - with Alfred hankering after Ivy and staying blind to Daisy's advances (for the time being, eh, Fellowes?) - it seems an alternative below-stairs romance is on the cards.
Fingers crossed for a repeat of last week's rather touchy-feely clock-winding session - maybe Jimmy can be the man to thaw Thomas's icy exterior?
Unfortunately it doesn't seem that the new footman is that way inclined and Thomas should be wary of his new found friendship. O'Brien promised that something bad would be coming his way...

With all this death, drama and impending doom, we reckon Downton owes us a little light relief... And fingers crossed Ethel's escapades will be just the thing to provide it.
Last episode, kindly old Isobel employed ex-prostitue and awful cook Ethel. But she didn't consider how hungry she might get once Mrs Bird jumped ship...
After she burnt and dropped a Kidney Souffle (we think she probably did you a favour, Isobel...) it transpired that Ethel couldn't even make a proper cup of coffee.
Irritable looking Isobel is probably ravenous by now and by the looks of things Ethel's dinner-dropping ways are set to continue this week. Wonder what she's done this time? Burned the beef, overcooked the offal, spilt the soup... Oh the disastrous culinary possibilities are endless!
Ah... so it appears Ethel's wisely called for reinforcements.
It looks as though frosty faced Mrs Patmore has come to her rescue armed with Downton's best recipes and her well-guarded tricks of the trade - and the fact that Downton's cook has even stepped foot inside Isobel's house will be sure to ruffle Carson's feathers and cause a delightful bit of friction in the kitchen...

不想看老爷被孤立。。。。。我好怀念唐顿第一季时候的各种温馨。。。怀念圣诞特辑。。。。。5555
