Spoilers ahead.
How sweet was that ending? So sweet. I can't handle Lord and Lady Grantham on the outs.
I called it: the baby will be named Sybil. "Ghoulish" - ha.
You'd think I would get tired of Carson's outraged facial expressions. And yet.
My favorite line from this episode was Mrs. Patmore's "The problem with you people is that you're all in love with the wrong person!" Directed at the two cooks and the two footmen, of course. If I have it right, Ivy likes Jimmy, who maybe likes Daisy (? - at least a little), who likes Alfred, who likes Ivy. Lovely.
I also loved Mrs. Hughes' dressing-down of Molesey re: Ethel the PROSTITUTE (gasp!!!!!) when she pointed out that Jesus ate with Mary Magdalene.
Speaking of religion, what a great conversation that was around the dinner table, discussing which large swaths of the world do not subscribe to the tenets of Anglicanism and yet manage to be worthy in the sight of God. The theme of this episode seemed to be "Carson and Lord Grantham, get with the times already."
I would not count my chickens before they're hatched, Anna. No, I would not. I will be glad that Bates is home when he is actually home...and at the rate that storyline is moving, that won't be until Season 7.
Aside from Sybil dying last week, I have to admit that this season is moving a bit slow. I remember times in Season 2 where I got whiplash from following all the subplots going on. These days the story is more meandering. Not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose.
