This final season also reminded us of the characters who left us and how they left an imprint that still resonates today: William’s sacrifice saved Matthew, and Matthew left Mary with Master George, and Downton an heir, and Lady Sybil left the example of how kindness transforms lives. I do hope that at whatever point in the future there is a sequel, Edith and Bertie, and Marigold (and a younger sibling to be named later) will be living happily enough ever after – even with the old bat (though I still think one of them is going to get tossed into the moat).
We all know what happens when a character says they’re happy – cue the lighting strike! But hey, I’ll go with it and hope for the best. It was dimples, dimples everywhere, and way too much use of the h-word (happy) for my nervous, jinx-fearing heart. But in the finale she really got to take them out for a spin. What did the Downton Abbey finale teach us? Lady Edith has dimples! I don’t think I had ever noticed that before, had you? Then again, that could be because she never had much chance to use them until now. We couldn’t see around the bend in the road, so we thought it was the end instead it was the beginning of all sorts of new possibilities – a bit like life. Little did they (and we) know that they were on the verge of better things. Admit it, we all had the feeling that as the season (and series) drew to a close, we would watch the Crawleys drive away from Downton for the last time with all their belongings tied to the car Grapes of Wrath-style. It seemed as if everything was circling the drain.
Mason thought he had bought the farm Lord Grantham admitted out loud (and to Mummy Violet no less) that he wondered how long they could go on – and we attended the going out of business auction at Mallarton, where the Lord in residence had lost everything, and had a dire warning for Robert even that nasty chambermaid proclaimed, “Your lot’s finished!”.
