Downton abbey Episode 5

This episode was very interesting. We see in this episode more of the character of people be revealed. We see that Ms. Obrien wants to stir trouble and she stirs edith to find out what happened the night Mary's lover died. So Edith talks to daisy about what happened. Daisy saw what happened that night and knew the truth but did not tell any one about it. So Edith talked to her to fish information out of her. It was confirmation for edith when she overheard her mom and sister talk about the situation and was putting Edith down in the midst of their conversation. Edith left very hurt and upset. We see that Mr. crawley is starting to like Mary, but Mary makes him upset and makes him back off with a decision she made to get her sister jealous. We see that thomas is up to no good again as he is trying to get Mr. Bates in trouble and kicked out of the house. He set him up with something that was missing in the house. Anna and Mr. Bates were a lot smarter than Thomas thought and they figured it out and were able to save themselves from that mess. We see that Mr. Bates and Anna have an important conversation. Anna confesses her love to Mr.Bates and we know Mr.Bates loves her too. Mr. Bates does not say it and says that it wouldn't work in their situation at the moment. WE can kind of see that Mr. Bates may have something in the past that is holding him back but we are not sure of that yet. We also find out that Mrs. Patmore is becoming blind. She accidentally put salt on dessert and the guests ate it.
The theme that I saw her was secrecy. We see different examples of that. We see there are secrets between the Lady of the HOuse and her daughter Mary. There are only a select few that know about what really happened that night with Lady Mary and that guy that died. We see that Ms. Obrien stirs up trouble and causes Lady Edith to have some secrets of wanting some leverage on her sister. We see there is secrecy with Thomas trying to get Mr. Bates in trouble. There are a lot of secrets going around. The lesson I have learned about secrets is that what happens in the dark will always be brought into the light. I think that secrets and gossip occurs in the church today and it causes division. There must be people of integrity in the church. This generation needs an awakening of having integrity. It can be dangerous to have secrets and talk behind each other's back. There needs to be a fresh reminder with this generation of living a life of integrity in the smallest things.
