Downton Abby Blog # 7

This weeks episode was filled with many surprises. I was shocked at what happened in this plot. We see in this episode that the mom is pregnant. This was huge news for the entire household. It also meant that if it was a boy then Crawley would not be able to get the inheritance. The mom was really happy she was pregnant. Meanwhile Mrs. Patmore's sight is getting worst. Robert sends her to London to get her eyes checked at fixed. Anna goes with her and while she is there she meets with Mr. Bates mom to get the real story of why Mr. Bates won't talk about the stealing. Mr. Bates mom said that it was his wife that stole and he covered for her. He took the blame for his wife. Anna goes back to tell Robert the truth about Mr. Bates. Thomas is still at being no good. He looks for another job because he sees that the truth of his schemes are being found out. Also at this time we find out that there is a chance that Sir Anthony might ask Edith to marry, but Mary ruins the chances of that. Mary and Mr. Crawley are not doing that well and he decides that he is going to leave and take some time to figure life out. Then the unexpected happens in the episode. Cora the wife loses the baby because Ms. O Brien puts soap on the floor so she can trip after she got out of the bath. When Ms. O Brien realizes what she has done she goes to fix it but it was too late. The reason she did that was becasue she was upset because she thought Cora was trying to get rid of her, but that wasnt the truth. Cora was finding a new maid for her mother in law. Ms. O brien felt guilty. They have a garden party and Cora was depressed about the baby. We find out during the garden party that Gwen gets a job and is super excited about it. WE also find out at the garden party that war has begun!!!

This episode was filled with so much. There were many things that happened that I did not expect. There were different themes in this episode. There have been repeated themes in this episode. The theme I saw in this was that the no matter what good will overcome bad. The light will always outshine darkness. I see this with Mr. Bates most especially. Thomas and Ms. Obrien tried to get him in trouble so many times. They lied about him and tried to kick him out. Anna went to find the truth about him and she was right that he was not that person to steal. She was able to tell Robert and the truth was found out. We see that good will always win. There are even people in the church that have bad motives and wrong hearts and the truth is that God knows their hearts. Light will always come out of  the darkness. We see this over and over again.
