Poor Thomas is sacked but is leaving with good references after ten years of service. A despicable Miss O'Brien won't let that happen. Meanwhile, we are introduced to the free-spirited, young and beautiful distant cousin, Rose Maclare, who hates London and is going to stay with the Dowager Countess for a while.
I really don't find it surprising to pity Thomas Barrow. At least we know now that he's just human, we get to see the depth of his character. Anyway, I still don't have an idea why Miss O'Brien is a horrible person. Maybe we'll know why soon, then maybe I'll "like" her too, just as how I "like" Thomas now.
Meanwhile, Lady Maclare introduces us to a world so different from a posh and beautiful Downton Abbey.
The episode ends with a cricket match.
