Downton Abbey

An announcement from Matthew stuns everybody. There are dramas and surprises for everyone from both above and below stairs as the war rages on.

Lord Grantham's valet, Lang, has recently returned from active duty and is suffering in a way that only the harsh Miss O' Brien seems to understand.

The village hospital is not enough to accommodate the influx of wounded soldiers, and so, Downton is turned into a convalescent home for many of them.

Isobel and Cora cannot see eye to eye on how things should be done, and Mary is determined to forget Matthew and get on with the rest of her life.

Matthew is taking an interest in the running of Downton, but when he mentions some things which are troubling him, nobody seems to be listening.
