So…which Cora/Lord G daughter is really the aunt's daughter? Think Edith is really the aunt's daughter?

Or do you think the aunt just has some kid out there same as Edith?


Interesting - especially since she looks different (lighter hair, less delicate features) than Cora and the other two girls.


But isn't the aunt a widow? That was referenced at one point. Why would she need to give her baby to her brother? Unless she got married later in life, I guess.


Is she a widow? I just assumed she had never married. But either way, I wonder why she didn't remarry or marry later in life? She's a very attractive woman and I'm sure she has some money. I did get the impression that she had either had a baby long ago, or perhaps an abortion.

He had such a chubby baby face back then. The hair with the bangs was in the Roman style of the day.

Yes! Bring back Dr. C! That and the Carson/Hughes love story are the best ones. Forget the young folk.

Do you think the three dark haired suitors are meant to contrast with blonde, blue eyed Matthew? But then the well-remembered Mr Pamuk was dark haired. Maybe Mary is returning to type

I think the implication would be that she for pregnant before marriage and gave the baby to Robert and Cora, who were already married.

Did anyone else find Roberts indignation about the prince funny considering his own make out session w the maid a few seasons ago?

Did the aunt bring the card shark to the party? I'm wondering if there is a young man or woman that the aunt pays particular attention to. Besides Edith, of course...

no you're definitely not the only to confuse her ghostly pale, past suitors-I can't keep them straight sometimes. Mary needs some of that jazz singer to invigorate the bloodline
