Comments
IMDB (1): Plans for the war memorial do not go as smoothly as hoped. Rose tries to get a wireless at Downton, while Mary goes to Liverpool for her weekend with Lord Gillingham. Edith wants to get more involved in baby Marigold's life and Baxter still refuses to reveal her whole story. Art historian Simon Bricker is a houseguest who seems to be interested in more than just the paintings at the Abbey.
(2): Jimmy is dismissed and Barrow reveals Baxter's crime to Molesley, who defends her whilst believing that she may have had an accomplice. Tim, against his wife's wishes, suggests that Edith take Marigold on visits to the abbey whilst Sarah, as well as giving Daisy lessons to improve her position, suggests to Tom that his future lies away from Downton. The reactionary Robert still regards her as the enemy though he does succumb to Rose's request to install a wireless. Simon Bricker, an art historian, visits with Charles Blake and flirts with Cora. Mary tells Charles she prefers Tony Gillingham and, armed with contraceptives awkwardly purchased for her by Anna, sets out for a tryst with Tony in a Liverpool hotel. Meanwhile a policeman comes to Downton Abbey to re-investigate the death of Green.
