Winston Churchill's fourth child was named Marigold. She was born in 1918 just days after WWI ended and died in 1921.

She loves Carson b/c he is completely, blindly loyal, she loves Anna b/c she helped her cover up Pamuk dying in her bed, she loves Tom b/c Sybil loved him. Remember she was not thrilled at the prospect of Sybil marrying the chauffeur in the first place.

agree but it's not love. She doesn't love anybody; she's some sort of sociopath. Those three you mention she protects because she sees them as useful to her, and they don't cross her. She'd toss any of them out in a heartbeat if they went against whatever she wanted at the moment.

The sad fact for Mary, though, is that wherever she goes, she's with herself.

What do you all think of the Thomas storyline?

[Anonymous]

I was surprised that after the way Thomas has been looking, it was only saline that he was injecting. I felt sorry for him. It must have been very lonely to be gay back in the 1920s.

I was happy for Edith, maybe she now has a chance to be happy, although I'm wondering how Edith can run away secretly and live off money if everyone knows she owns the publishing house. (I know it's not good for a child to be torn away from her adopted mother, but it is fiction.)

The sort of proposal from Carson was cute.

I don't think Mary is a b, but it does seem that no one really pays attention to Edith.

I don't care for the Russian and the dowager story.

Do you think Mary wears contacts to give her that weak eye look? She has the eyeballs of a 90-year old woman.

LOL why do you say this

I meant to write Cora. There was a scene with her in the hallway at the top of the stairs talking to someone and she had cloudy, watery, pale blue eyes with no pupils. I just looked up pictures of the actress and she does have light blue eyes but they seem much older-looking in the show.

Didn't he have a fling with one of the houseguests? Whatever happened to that guy?

Cora has exactly one expression that she uses throughout the series. Sometimes her head is cocked, and sometimes it's not. But it's ALWAYS the same damn expression.

The saline solution was not sterilized so he got an infection from the injections, even though the substance he was injecting was chemically neutral.

Did anyone else think something bad was going to happen during the horse riding scene? I was almost disappointed that something didn't happen.

Bates is so annoying. Poor Anna. So, who did kill Green? Isn't it strange that is was on the same day that Bates had a ticket to London?

Please don't kill off Isis!

Oh please, Bates bought two return tickets used only one. He was too quick to point out how the untorn ticket would be his alibi.

I couldn't remember if the ticket was actually whole or if he was lying.
