[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor Edith. :-(

What are these sinister rumblings coming from America? Does it mean Shirley McLain is going to come live with them or something?

Why does Cora always discuss secret matters in front of her maid? Especially a new maid?  I liked how she helped Anna and Bates at the restaurant.

Jimmy the Gigolo makes a move on Ivy and she's taken by surprise?  Hoo boy.

Rose, Rose, Rose. Among many other things, you are just being tacky.

The new guy sparring with Mary isn't so charismatic. Dogmatism isn't sexy but I suppose it means she will be attracted by his independence, despite his bad hair.

Thomas needs more to do. His sneaky, manipulative talents are being wasted!

The rumblings from America has Cora's family involved in the Teapot Dome scandal.  A couple of oil men bribed secretary of Interior Fall (who Cora mentions) for oil leases in Wyoming and California.  Fall want to jail, and one of the oil men was convicted, as well.  [/quote]

If the plot follows Upstairs/Downstairs, Edith is due for an illegal, botched abortion.  I hope that's not why the handsome doctor is getting airtime.  I hope the doctor is getting airtime because of Mrs. Crawley.

Speaking of Mrs. Crawley, I do love her character but Violet was exactly right in saying "she runs on indignation."  Interesting point about Mrs. Crawley.

I think U/D also had financial fallout from some American crisis or scandal (or Canadian scandal or railway or something)

I was surprised Mary left Rose with the singer after seeing them kissing.  I thought she would have said, "Rose, come up with me…" and invented some excuse.  Not because of the race issue, but because Rose is unattended, messing around with a man.  I know the norms of the day are changing but Rose is still younger than Mary or Edith, and also[b] Mary knows all too well what happens when one is left alone, messing around with a man...[/quote][/b]

Maybe that's why she did it?[/quote]
