This episode is the best since Season 4. It starts with Lady Edith visiting her illegitimate daughter at her adoptive parents' house. Edith is depressed that she is away from her daughter. Poor Edith, luck must find her someday.
Then there's Jimmy, who is getting love letters from his former employer. I really can't stand Jimmy, he's just as despicable as Thomas. No wait, Thomas is slightly worse. I really regret feeling sorry for Thomas when he was about to be dismissed. I wish Carson really did that. Anyway, now Thomas is hungry for some shocking news about anyone else in the house so he bullies Miss Baxter and asks her about her knowledge of Anna and Bates' secrets. Miss Baxter, a kind woman, refuses. I'm glad they didn't decide Miss Baxter to be some sort of like the new Miss O'Brien. Thomas is enough now.
Of course there's also Lady Mary, who must be really lucky in love. Tony Gillingham is courting her again and Mary admits that she loves him, but is unsure because, you know, Matthew.
But then my favorite parts are the scenes involving the Dowager Countess arranging luncheon to be like some matchmaker for Isobel Crawley and the doctors who court her.
And then sweet Daisy wants to be a grown woman now, and that is by learning numbers in order to run old Mr. Mason's farm. I really like Daisy's character development. From a kitchen maid who barely knows anything but to light the fireplaces and be told what to do, to know being an ambitious, good cook who can make up her own mind now.
And then the secrets are revealed. Miss Baxter tells Lady Cora the truth so that Barrow can never bully her anymore. She was a criminal. She was a theft who got imprisoned for three years, and she did not return the jewels. Cora, a kind woman as she is, decides to keep Miss Baxter for a while until she decides what to do.
Then the fire at the end. Thrilling, suspenseful, then Robert catches Jimmy and his former employer doing it in the guest's bedroom. Jimmy is dismissed, good riddance I must say.
