Downton Abbey Season 5, Episode 8 {London Calling}

Who didn't LOVE last Sunday's Episode?
Who doesn't love a little recap?

If you haven't seen it or want to watch it again, here it is!

I'm going to skip over the plot details and stick mostly to set stand-outs!

Ok, how fabulous was it to really see so much of the Grantham House, the Crawley's London Townhouse?!

I think my favorite details are the:

RUGS

ROOM COLORS

Edgecomb Gray BM 

Caliente BM

SETTEES

HATS

CAKE

FAVORITE LINE & SCENE:

"Dont proclaim your intransigence as if it were a virtue". 

I really was taken with how lovely Violet looked in this scene. I think they softened her so that it was more believable that she could be the object of Prince Kuragin's
decades upon
decades of long lost love.

Looking forward to next week!

Because...

Anna's in jail.

Rose married for love and may be shunned.

Prince Kuragin wants to be more than friendly with Violet.

Mary is solo.

Tom may be headed to Boston.

Edith's secret is out of the bag.

Molesly and Baxter will be the next to marry, I'm thinking.

Thomas has a new direction.

Cora and Robert are BACK ON TRACK.

(I loved the return of Robert as hero last night, didn't you?)

And Scotland and all of it's grouse AWAIT!

* FYI: There was a Prince Kuragin in War & Peace.
MIND BLOWN.
And....this is what Violet (Maggie Smith) would have looked like when she met him!
(Hope you liked that!)
