Every time I watch this show and the episode ends I always want to watch the next one right after, but Maria and Aaron will not let me. This was one of the episodes where I wanted to see what would happen next. The war is still going on in this episode. We see that William goes of to war and Daisy knows she does not like him but she has given William the impression that they are together. We also see that Lady Sybil is working in the hospital and Thomas gets put there after shooting his own hand so he could come back home and not fight in the war. We see that Lady Edith is spending time at a farm helping but ends up getting in a mess because the husband and her get really close and they end up kissing. The wife saw this and was not happy about this. We also see that Mary realizes that she loves Matthew and she wants him,but the problem is that Matthew is engaged to be married. Sir Anthony has asked Mary as well to be engaged, and she said she would get back to him on that. Mr. Carson is working really hard and it is catching up to him because during dinner he collapsed. Lady Mary went to go visit him and he encouraged her to tell Crawley how she really felt. Anna on the other hand encouraged her not to because of the pain she went through with Bates leaving. It was really hard for Anna to have Bates just leave with his wife. Another thing that happened was there was a lot of people in the hospital and there was not a lot of room, so there was an idea to have them housed at Downton Abbey. Violet was not happy with this idea and mentioned that they were outsiders. Violet did not want them there, but the mom stood up to tell her it was not her house. So they agree to let the hurt war soldiers come to be taken care of there. Lady Mary decided to go tell Crawley about how she feels and when she is on the way she runs into his fiance. She was crying and told Mary about how Crawley was leaving early and how sad she was about it. Mary saw how this girl cared for Crawley and she decided not to voice her feelings for him.
We see many themes in this episode. We see the theme of outsiders in this episode. We see that grandma Violet sees her self has being better and sees the rest of society as outsiders. We see this when she does not want the hurt and dying war soldiers to come into the house to help them. She sees them as being lower than her and it would be a disgust to her to have them in the house. In today's society there are so many people that feel like outsiders because of people like Grandma Violet. There are even people in the church that think they are better than the marginalized and often have a cold heart. There are so many people that need to be taken care of in the church and mostly outside of the church. This generation needs to know that Jesus wants us to be His hands and feet. We are not to think ourselves better than a homeless man. But we are to extend our help to them and show them Jesus, not comparing anyone.
