Downton Season 4 Episode 6 Recap: The 5 Craziest Developments!
Downton Abbey just aired it’s 6th episode of season 4 and boy, it was a doozy. If you just got finished watching, I’ll bet you’re anxious to go over all this craziness! Well don’t worry, we got you covered. Because here at Max Level Geek we know the only thing better than watching your favorite show is geeking out over it with fellow fans.
It’s a hard task to wait all week to get your Downton on, only to have to wait another week for the next episode. But worry not fellow Downtonians (that’s what we call our Downton fans around here), there is much here to cover and tide us over until next week. So, what do you say we get started with the 5 craziest developments from this episode?
1. Edith is pregnant!
That’s right, she hid it well but Edith is actually pregnant. Who saw that coming?
Even more shocking, we find this out as she intends to have it aborted, only to change her mind at the last minute. Looks like Downton has another baby on the way.

2. The Dowager Countess is ill!
Not ill as in “cool” because, well, we already knew that. No, the Dowager Countess is actually very sick.
Much to the annoyance of the Dowager Countess, Isobel never left her side during the whole ordeal. Where would Downton be without Isobel and her nurturing personality?

3. Mary finally let her hair down!
Mary you say? Uppity Lady Mary?! Before this episode you might not have thought so Downtonians but Mary, in the face of a tragedy on the farm, rose to the occasion and actually had fun.
Turns out Mary isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty when the task calls for it. And do we sense a romance brewing between her and Charles? We like to think so.

4. Tom found himself a political pal!
Good ole Branson seems to have finally gotten a bit back into the political realm. We couldn’t be happier for him after everything that has happened!
This all transpired when Tom went to a political lecture and had a meet cute with a young woman there. Our better judgement makes us think this isn’t the last we’ve seen of her.

5. Is Bate’s on to Anna’s rapist?
This episode ended in epic fashion! Anna’s assaulter has shown up again and the people “in the know” try to keep it quiet from Mr. Bates but the last shot in the episode leads us to believe Bate’s is on to him.
It’s payback time, Bates style!
