What happened, Fellowes?!) Also, now that we are legit at the end of this show, IвЂ™m coming to terms with the fact that we will never know what happened to her husband, Marmaduke Painswick. (No children unless you look at the Season One Press Pack. He reminds her that she never had children so she couldnвЂ™t possibly understand. Lady Rosamund, who is still at Downton for some reason, is fighting with Robert. Whether or not she has a plan to use this information we donвЂ™t know, but TomвЂ™s guts are in a knot knowing that if she does, it might damn well be his fault. She takes the opportunity to pull one over on him so heвЂ™ll confirm MarigoldвЂ™s real identity. She continues to try to get through TomвЂ™s thick skull about this, but heвЂ™s exasperated with her. вЂњEdith couldnвЂ™t make her dolls do what she wanted,вЂќ Robert says to Cora as they get ready for bed, which seems like a lot of insight for parents to have who, more than likely, only saw their children for an hour a day when the nanny brought them down for tea.Дespite what everyone in this episode seems to believe, Mary really isnвЂ™t into Henry. Her family shares this sentiment, because although they rarely pay her any attention, they arenвЂ™t blind to her tiring string of misfortune. Meanwhile, Tom has been all buddy-buddy with olвЂ™ Henry Talbot, and Mary doesnвЂ™t want him to encourage it.Д®dithвЂ™s afraid Bertie will rescind his marriage offer now that heвЂ™s fancy-dancy. GET SOME.ДЇML, says Mary, who has all but lost her ability to can.

So not only will Edith be of higher rank than Mary but even her own parents. In the British Peerage, Marquess/Marchionesses are ranked higher than Earls and Countesses. WHICH MEANS EDITH WILL BE A MARCHIONESS, OUTRANKING HER ENTIRE FAMILY. That means that Bertie is вЂ¦ the new Marquess of Hexham. It appears that BertieвЂ™s employer, the Marquess of Hexham, has died of malaria. SheвЂ™s sick of him-sick of everyone pushing her to marry him. SheвЂ™s not heard from Henry Talbot and thank God. MaryвЂ™s thankful sheвЂ™s needed a good laugh at the expense of her underlings. PatmoreвЂ™s alleged brothel, and they laugh at her failure. I ship these two so freakinвЂ™ bad.ДЄnna tells Mary about Mrs. вЂњDonвЂ™t ask him, tell him,вЂќ Baxter says, and not gonna lie, itвЂ™s pretty hot.

* squee*Дownstairs, MolesleyвЂ™s nervous about asking Carson for a change in schedule to accommodate his teaching in the village. Robert doesnвЂ™t exactly agree with his motherвЂ™s behavior, but heвЂ™s forgiven her because of the puppy she gave him. Hughes is all lmao.ДЄunt RosamundвЂ™s here, bitching about the Dowager, who is still on her Escape Cora vacation. PatmoreвЂ™s inn is known in the village as a вЂњhouse of ill-repute.вЂќ Basically, this arsehole took a perfectly nice, well-intentioned bed and breakfast and rendered it a Motel 6. Apparently, one of her guests-her first, in fact-only stayed at the inn so that he could cheat on his wife. PatmoreвЂ™s inn, it seems, is in serious trouble. Willis shows up again, but this time itвЂ™s not about the Bateses or Baxter Mrs. That also means more gifs, so вЂ¦Д®dith hasnвЂ™t exactly accepted Bertie yet, because he doesnвЂ™t know the truth about Marigold.В She and Cora take a stroll with some umbrellas and look like theyвЂ™re shooting an Anthropologie advert. ItвЂ™s the finale before the Finale, so itвЂ™s a bit longer than other episodes, meaning this recap is a bit longer than other recaps.

This is it, friends: the penultimate episode of Downton Abbey.
