Spanish Flu Strikes Downton Abbey
21 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Spanish Flu strikes the estate. Lady Cora, Lavinia Swire and Carson fall ill. Ethel refuses to give up her baby son to his wealthy grandparents. Bates and Anna decide to marry.

This is probably the saddest episode since the pilot. I really feel bad for Lavinia Swire. Meanwhile, we see a different side of Robert Crawley here. His scenes with the maid are really shocking, but at those times in the early 20th century they did happen, which is kind of sad.

I really don't like Lady Mary much. Why does she have to take everything from everyone? First, she took Edith's love Patrick Crawley, then now Lavinia's. I feel so bad for her.

Can't wait for the next episode.
