Downton abbey what will happen in season 3

And she hates mourning clothes. Mary needs to be challenged. Lord Grantham sided with a hoity-toity doctor and refused to consider the advice of the trusted Dr.

And he has his estate back, thanks to Matthew and his Lavinia money. Lady Grantham Where she left off: She forgave Robert, and then agreed to let the trouble-making Rose come live at Downton. Tom is the new business agent at Downton! He has lots of ideas for modernization, as they keep saying. This is a good thing. Do not go back to Ireland, Tom. They will arrest you, and Lord Grantham will ruin Downton all over again, and someone else will have to die in order to prove the magical inheritance that saves the estate.

Lady Edith Where she left off: Michael Gregson, the dashing but married to an insane woman newspaper editor, showed up in England and declared his love for Edith. So Edith more or less agreed to be his mistress, because she got jilted at the altar and also because she is tired of being ignored on this show. Who cares about conventions? It is Let Edith be great! Bates Where he left off: He got out of prison, finally.

It was so boring when he was in prison. That seems like a great idea. And finally, to wow Bates at the big dance in Scotland, Anna gets Rose to teach her how to reel. Mission: accomplished. His ear-to-ear smile is wiped off by a fatal car crash. Okay, your turn. What did you think of the season finale? Did you cry more when Matthew bought the farm or when Tom told Mrs. Hughes how much he missed Sybil? Later in the season, Tom almost got seduced by a rogue maid, Edna, but Edna got fired before they could do more than kiss.

Lady Edith Crawley: Edith got engaged to an older gentleman, but he left her at the altar for her own good. Having given up on romance, she decided to try to have some sort of life, so she wrote a letter to the Times supporting suffrage and ended up getting a columnist gig, writing about modern women for The Sketch.

That job introduced her to an editor, Michael Gregson, with whom she hit it off—before learning that Gregson was married. Violet, the Dowager Countess: Ever as before, ever just as awesome.

She would likely not approve of this post. Rose likes jazz and dancing and drinking and is younger than the Crawley daughters. Then, at the end of the season, the Crawleys went to visit their cousins at their home in Scotland, at which point it was revealed that Shrimpie and Susan were being posted to India, so Rose is going to stay with the Crawleys at Downton.

What about their staff? Carson, the butler: Dealt with an understaffed house. Molesley, valet to Matthew Crawley: Continued to be awkward and sort of pathetic. Thomas Barrow, under-butler: He really thought that Jimmy, the footman, loved him back, and he tried to put the moves on the younger man, which majorly backfired and resulted in him almost getting arrested.
