She took her Rolodex…maybe she'll start her own agency.

1. Roger Sterling kissing Don on the cheek and saying, "You are okay."
2. Meredith interrupting Dawn and Shirley's conversation, and Shirley quipping, "My goodness, Meredith, we should put a bell on you."

Marie-France, don't be a beeetch.

My favorite line was Pete to Ken, about how badass he would look on a book jacket.

I laughed out loud when they were reading all of the e-mails (but really, why would anybody send all that stuff via WORK E-MAIL?), but yeah, kind of a whatever episode. I can't wait to see what happens with Alicia and Finn. That man can wear a suit.

Penelope Wilton needs to win an award for this episode. Maggie Smith was wonderful too, in her scene confessing to Mary that she will miss Isobel's companionship…but Isobel's face as she was being insulted by Lord Merton's sons, and then the moment as they were saying goodbye…heartbreaking.

I thought the scene where Edith took Marigold from the Drewes was completely heartbreaking.

But at the same time, if a servant came across it there's no reason they should confront Mary about it, or tattle on her to her parents or whatever. Whereas the possibility of Bates finding it is a marital blow-up waiting to happen.

I love Brendan Coyle but he is decidedly not at all sexy on this show. He was much more attractive on Lark Rise to Candleford, when his character was married to Claudie Blakely.

I also think that Miss Bunting is kind of a low-rent version of Sarah Burton from South Riding—redheaded outspoken Yorkshire schoolmistress who butts heads with a landowner named Robert. Except Winifred Holtby was a much better writer than Julian Fellowes, and Anna Maxwell Martin (if you watch the not-very-good…

I like the idea of Miss Bunting but not the execution. I don't know if it's the actress's delivery or what, but I don't get the feeling that there's any kind of passion there. I might like her better if she showed some real spirit instead of just sort of flatly stating her opinion—if she really challenged somebody.

Yeah well, anyone but Robert could have seen that from the moon. ;)

I don't know, though…there was something somebody said, I can't remember quite what it was, where Cora all of a sudden looked like a lightbulb had gone off, like wait…my daughter totally disappeared for like eight months last year…

I don't hate her, but I think she's a low-rent rip-off of Sarah Burton from South Riding.

That's what I think! I get the feeling that Mrs. Drewe suspects something more sinister than the truth.

I think Cora was starting to figure something out this episode too…

“With talk like that you, make me want to check the looking glass to see that my hair’s tidy!” “Get away with you.”

Right! I was watching him twirl his mustache last night and I actually said out loud, "It's like the last four seasons didn't even happen."

Miss Bunting is a total Sarah Burton rip-off.

It's the same as Upstairs Downstairs—the series only ran for five or six years, but the timeline started in 1905 or thereabouts and ended with the stock market crash of 1929. The only character who aged was James Bellamy (Simon Williams), and only with a little gray at his temples.
