And didn't Tony Gillingham recently threaten to ruin Mary's reputation, making it so that if he couldn't have her no one else would want her? Maybe don't keep purposely trying attract his attention then.

And that man must immediately start acting terrifying, barely restraining violent rage.

Love the summary of the episode when setting it to record: "The police deepen their investigation into the death of Mr. Green."
That's right, the Chief Inspector only allows two years of his men dicking around on a case before they have to get serious and determine if the victim was murdered or not.

Certainly without charisma.

Orlando Bloom continues developing nothing, which is as it should be.

I was annoyed how characters kept repeating, "It's Winter's Ease!" as if that's something that we should all know about. Then I realized that this episode could be seen as a tie-in with Groundhog Day.

I took the lack of Jean's wiki page as a challenge and found his wife, Marie II de Saint-Pol does have one on wiki.fr at least, then found:
"Jean, fifth son of Charles de Bourbon…he distinguished himself during the defense of Metz in 1552…and at the Siege of Ulpiano in 1555. He was killed at the Battle of…

Yuck.

When, the show's timeline, was the war with Italy supposed to occur? Unless it was immediately before the first episode, they're going in a creepy direction with Bash's age. I brought up this concern at Claude's introduction, but if Bash is older than Francis is older than Claude, the half-incest just gets that much…

Robert seems fond of Sybbie at least. They should show more scenes of Tom and Robert and Cora interacting with the kids (while Mary stands in a corner examining her manicure for chips, then wanders off to make restaurant reservations in London). It would be far more fun for the viewer than a detective stopping by…

Yes, it's weird that she named her Marigold when she and Mary HATE each other. Although naming her Sybilgold might have been too obvious even for the rest of the Crawleys to ignore.

I was going for what Mytly said.

Or something like, "A Frenchman whose wife died in childbirth rescued me when I fell in a river, and I promised I would look after his daughter."
Mary: "Oh, Edith, tensions between the French and British have never been good as it is. They certainly won't appreciate you polluting their sources of fresh water with your…

Most of the upstairs characters have been raised to believe that they are entitled to have it both ways, of course. Edith has never had anything of her own - or she has it briefly and then it's snatched away from her - so I see why it's in character to be so possessive. And in that time period, nobody is probably…

Edith: "You're covering up one of Mary's vagina murders again, aren't you?!"

Maybe he faked his own death and has been living in the London sewers all this time.

Even people trying to be nice to Edith this episode end up making it worse.
Rosamund: "On the one hand, your reputation - not that a spinster like you has much of one to worry about - is in infinite danger. On the other hand, you're not being emotionally compensated for it…so your life is sailing the same gloomy…

There are many films and shows about Henry VIII or Elizabeth already, maybe they wanted to explore something less well known.

Speaking of historically inaccurate, Diane de Poitiers wouldn't have killed Henri's children. According to some accounts, she had to arrange / give permission for sex dates between Henri and Catherine because Henri was so disinterested in Catherine. More pragmatic, Diane knew that an heir had to be produced to…

Greer can now find her husband and have some adventures with him.
