Damn, Edith
I kind of expected it due to that shot of her head dress falling through the air in the trailer; once it was clear Matthew and Mary were actually going to get married It'll be interesting to see where her character goes now. Drunk Edith will be Best Edith, I can sense it
I'll concur with those who are relieved at some of the subplots (apparently) closed already. I thought the whole "Downton in distress" thing was annoying, mainly due to Matthew's ridiculous reasoning. The letter, Daisy sending it, etc all felt quite convenient but I'll accept it if it means that storyline is finished forever.
Too bad the Bates nonsense remains. I love the character but can't stand what the writers have done with him since S1 tbh. Way too much forced drama for my blood. If I had to bet I'd say Anna will prove he's innocent, but he'll get shiv'd the night before being released.
