In this final episode of Downton Abbey for this season, we have a lot going on. Rose's new parents in law invite everyone but her parents over for grouse hunting. The pompous butler irritates everyone so Thomas takes him down a notch and then tries to take down Lord Sinderby when he insults Thomas. But Rose coolly handles the situation and keeps the potential scandal contained, earning her Lord Sinderby's affection and gratitude. Meanwhile, poor Anna and Bates are stressed out trying to poke hole sin the police's case. Bates now finds himself in Anna's shoes having to comfort her when she had previously been the strong one for them. Bates then writes a confession and vanishes to Ireland, ripping a giant hole in the case and causing the police to release Anna on bail. A new footman is hired and an event that I've been waiting for ever since the show first started finally, finally happens! The end was so funny, touching, sad and happy all at once. Nothing can quite move one like the ups and downs on this show. I do wish they weren't sending Bronson off to America though; he's one of my favorite characters!
