"Downton Abbey" Season 4 dwindles down with Episode 7 airing this Sunday, February 16 on PBS starting at 9pm/8c. Robert leaves for America to bail out Cora's playboy brother. Mary, told by Mrs. Hughes what happened to Anna, persuades Robert to take Thomas with him as his valet, leaving Bates to support his wife. The Dowager Countess falls ill with bronchitis and is nursed by a selfless Isobel, who cheerfully ignores her patient's snippy comments. Mary and Mr. Blake visit the newly arrived pigs; finding them dehydrated, they carry buckets of water together, getting muddy and exhausted, and rather enjoy it. Edith and Rose go to London: Rose continues to romantically flirt with Jack; Edith decides to have an abortion, but backs out at the last minute. Lord Gillingham and his valet Green arrive and Mrs. Hughes warns Green that she knows about him. During the servants' dinner, Green is rash enough to reveal that he went to the servants' hall during Dame Nellie's recital, which earns him a pensive and seething stare from Bates. WATCH a preview of Episode 7 down below!
Previously on "Downton Abbey" Alfred got a place at the Ritz cooking course when a winner dropped out and left Downton. Carson was not keen for Molesley to replace him, even when he begged for his job back; Mrs. Hughes softened his heart and Molesley was re-hired. Edith was worried that there was still no news of Gregson and was told by her doctor that she was pregnant. Bates and Anna went out for a meal at a posh hotel where they were given a hard time by a snooty hostess. Cora was there too and ensured that they were admitted.
Isobel found the item the Dowager Countess thought her gardener had stolen down the side of a chair; she was ready to berate her some more, but was deflated when the Dowager reveals that she had already apologized to the young man and re-hired him. Rose arranged for the band from the jazz club to play for Robert's birthday. Carson was scandalized to see Jack, a black singer, but later calmed down. Lord Grantham and the family were also surprised to varying degrees, but dealt with it with their customary good manners. After the party, Mary saw Rose and Jack kissing in the servants' quarters.
