Best heart swell: Molesley is positively chuffed at the thought of becoming the Earl’s valet and the moment he shares dreaming about the promotion with Mrs. Bird is beyond adorable. Good job, Molesley! We know you’re up for the task!
Worst heartache: Agghhhaaaaggghhh! Bates returns just as poor Molesley is reporting for his first day of duty as valet. Our hearts actually cracked open and broke—and then Molesley shows the new shoehorn (which BATES DECIDES TO JUST TAKE?) and our hearts broke again.
Best behaviour: Edith, you were positively charming this episode! You’re still a star in the convalescence home and your work hasn’t gone unnoticed—why else would your father trust you with the knowledge of Matthew and William’s disappearance before anyone else? And you managed to let Mary know without a single drop of spite or malice!
Worst attempt to fake someone out: What is going on with Cora and cousin Isobel? Their battle from last week seems to have escalated into a full on war, and we’ve never seen Cora so decisive and proactive about, well, anything before. Poor Isobel thinks she can fake the Countess into sharing the duties of Downton by threatening to leave, but not only does Cora ignore her plea, she insults her on the way out. Ouch!

love the show, it keeps me on the edge of my seat
Paige, I thought for sure that you’d have some comment about Matthew miraculously reappearing and singing as he walks down the aisle to Mary. Just a tad corny?
Bev – I agree, tad corny. If I wanted to see a scene break out in song n’ dance, I’d watch Glee. However, that look in Mary’s eyes made it all worthwhile….the love saga continues.
O’brien, the queen of curls? LOL I gotta give a hand to the actress who plays her because those curls are a character in itself. She quite a good looking lady in real life. (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/season2_characters_finneran.html)
Once again Granny delivers the best lines in the show, all the while thumping her her walking stick. Love it:)
A little corny but also cute!! (So cute, in fact, that my boyfriend–who watched the episode a day later–had to text me “how did you not burst into tears at that scene?!” hahahahaha)

I cheered when Cora ‘rolled up her sleeves’ and set about to better organize the “soup kitchen” that the servants had started.
