“Are you leaving Downton then?!” Barrow is a mooood
There's a stark parallel in this episode between what Tom and Anna went through. Anna's encounter was brutal and heartbreaking but Tom's was also infuriating. Edna intentionally got him drunk then went into his room uninvited and seemingly raped a drunk man while she was completely sober. She's not just a gold digger, she's a predator. Men can be victims too. Mrs Hughes was a hero for both Tom and Anna. I know I'm late to the conversation here. Just finished the series on Netflix.
Tom is an idiot and wasn’t confident in his new position. He allowed Edna to confused him and make him feel shame, the old “oh you’re too big for us now” talk. The fact that he allowed her to get to him twice, makes him an idiot.
She by the very definition raped him.
I feel like Edna groomed Tom more than raped him
Glad to see another person finally call it what it is. Edna raped Tom. For some reason most other commenters don't come out and say it.
Gerard Collins that’s not the problem here. He was an idiot and allowed himself to be conned by her twice.
“I am already full of regrets. There is nothing but regret in me.”
*Tom and Sybil’s theme kicks in*
THE FEEEEEEEELS
*sobs in a terrible British accent*
*curls up into a ball on the couch with a bag of Takis*

OH MY GOD THE THEME! I didn't remember that!
Thomas is a savage! I loved him in here, saying what everyone was feeling but didn't dare to say out loud
Hilda Moreno his face when she was insulting him was such a treat!
And she got a point about him too, so that's a win win situation
Was I the only person thinking that Edna would slap him in the face after he said that to her?
I think if he was born in this time he would have been an executive.
+Hilda Moreno well said Thomas barrow
“Don’t speak her name!”
The way he says that line shows how much he still loves Sybil and misses her. The way he defended her memory in that moment. So powerful. Allen Leech is such a great actor that the simplest scenes convey so much about his character.
I love that Tom is still a part of the downstairs. He knows how the house really works and his first instinct when in trouble is to go to Ms. Hughes because she runs the staff, far more than Carson does in my opinion. Carson's the link between upstairs and downstairs, but Ms. Hughes is queen downstairs.
It's also a fun parallel between Tom and Mary, since her instinct led her to Cora, head of the upstairs, when dealing with the dead body in her bed. No matter what happens the women are the real heads of the house, even if the men are heads of the family.
Cranson is the lord of downstairs .. He comes in, they stand for him and he yells some gibberish to go outside. They just work around him because who can disobey? I love how Mrs Hughes learnt his keys so she could manipulate him like for the picnic day :) .. that was so fun to watch. I surely hope and depend on her wit to do that often regarding others. He surely was a hard nut to crack and he showed resistance at first but she knows how to soften him. Without her, he is a cranky old man who is not different from Mrs Batmore when it comes to kitchen appliances
Carson would tell Robert about it, and since Robert still hadn't come around to Tom yet, he would have tried to put the blame on Tom
The man is the head of the family, but the woman is the neck, and she csn turn the gead whatever way she wants. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Mrs Hughes is the neck.
“It’s because you are sly, and oily, and smug.”
Thomas: Why thank you. I’m glad you noticed.
And that delightful smug just got bigger on his face as she said it 😂
Ms.Hughs was so protective of Tom here. She was badass telling her she would lock her up until the doctor came then hold her down if need be basically don’t test me.
And tear the clothes off of her. Mrs. Hughes scared me. Tom was shocked to silence. 😂
I never understood Edna's logic. If her plan had worked did she really expect to move upstairs and become part of the family? I did not see that happening. If he married her im sure he would have moved out.
I thought she just wanted him. Or maybe wanted to get bought off. You think she was trying to move upstairs?
I honestly never really understood why Tom stayed around after Sibyl died. I suppose it's ultimately because Allen Leech wanted to stay on the show, but it was such a strange choice for the character. "I'm a fish out of water." Indeed. It got him out of being a real single parent, I guess. I can't say I blame him for wanting to avoid that.
@@harringt100 Yes, Edna definitely wanted to move upstairs. Tom's attachment to the family was his appeal. On his own he did not have anything. Edna even told Cora how wonderful it would be to be part of her family. I agree Tom staying in the house really made no since. I agree the writers wanted to keep that actor in the show so they used baby Sybil as the reason. He often said he knew he did not belong.
@@raephaelemasirnille5794 I think the point is that she's not as clever nor as cunning as she thinks she is.
@@raephaelemasirnille5794 I agree , Maybe the team decided off screen someone like Mary, or cora would've told Tom Sybil would have wanted him to be apart of the family even without her in it as he is the father of their niece, grandaughter and great granddaughter, despite how strained their relationship was when he and Sybil got married.
@@harringt100 I don't think it's that odd that a young widower with a small baby would want to raise his daughter around her family. Sybil loved her family and her home and I don't think it's so weird that Tom, in his grief, would want to stay there. And then things got complicated with him helping with the running of the business and everything.
Edna screwed up her own plan by telling Tom that she's pregnant literally several hours after sleeping with him. She pretty much exposed herself. I think that's when it clicked for Tom that he was being "trapped"
That was so crazy. Like I get that men knew even less about women's biology back than than now but they must have realised that there's no way of telling after a few hours
@@stephjovi He did realize, he literally told her, "You won't know for weeks"
I hated Edna, 20s version of Amber Heard lol! But seriously she dumb!!! She should have played the game a bit longer then would have been a bit more believable...
@@pandakatiefominz Exactly! He knew he was being trapped but he could not prove it. That’s why he went to Mrs. Hughes. And she figured everything out. Her and Thomas’s final moments with her were so satisfying. I would have loved to see Tom put her jn her place.
I love Thomas in this scene, he took the words out of my mouth when he said the words to Edna, before she left.
Thomas at the end had me cackling :D
That comment made him look smug.....and hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Touché. Thomas was the final- Get Out! Thomas was the cherry 🍒 on top of the ice cream 🍨. 😂
Mrs. Hughes would’ve made a terrifying poker player
She did in Downton Abbey Text Santa 2014.
Ugh Edna was the worst! Nothing but a gold-digger who wanted trap Tom in a marriage so she could live a life of luxury ‘upstairs’. So glad Mrs Hughes sent her packing along with those last comments from Thomas 😂
I love it when Mrs. Hughes starts to say "but if you want a reference, or another job...." Tom suddenly looks at Mrs. Hughes all nervous cause he knows when Mrs. Hughes is in her "I'm not afraid to fight you" protective mode. Bravo Mrs. Hughes!
Thomas be like "i am the only schemer in this house, begone with you!"
How Tom could ever find Edna "attractive" is beyond me.....she makes me cringe.
Bird house I mean the actress is very pretty
Sex , I don’t think he was geo any.😂😂😂🎉
Bird house I'd say he was too drunk and sedated for anything to happen
He was fucking drugged when she raped him and he never flirted or have her anything to make her believe she had a chance before that, he was just his friendly old self who would chat with any housemaid or footman or kitchenmaid if he met them in the village
Men don't have to find a woman attractive to have sex. Especially when alcohol is involved and they have not had sex in a long time. Men don't view sex like women do. Plus beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thought Edna was attractive. She was no Sybil but she was pretty.
Edna didn't want Tom, she want she thought he could give her. She wanted to be upstairs not down
She's just like MeGain Markle.
@@birdhouse7230 you're right of course but I also wonder how much money the English tabloid press has paid Thomas Markle for alll the stories he has given them .They will pay loads for the smallest bit of dirt on any member of the Royal family.
they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Certainly faking paparazzi pictures wasn't smart. I'd sympathy for him up. Until that.
I hate all the royals by the way but what I say about the press is true.
Just scrolling through the comments section.....I would like to remind us all that this is for Downton Abbey, not the Royal Family and CERTAINLY NOT the Duchess of Sussex!
Bird house wow you need more discernment and better reading material.
who tf wouldnt want tom
I forgot that Thomas could be lovable sometimes. Well done!
I really wish Mrs Hughes told Cora. It sucked that Cora thought Mrs Hughes was being unfair to Edna because she wanted to be a ladies maid. It would have awesome to see Edna go ‘I’ll tell her ladyship’ only for Cora to be standing in the doorway, ready to knock her back to reality.
Better yet, she could have told Edna she was planning to tell Cora. She fell for the pregnancy thing.
Edna - creepy, obsessive, stalker level - 900
Poor Tom. He had the best of the best when he had Sybil. No one can ever match her. When they made Sybil they broke the mold--forever.
Rob you play Thomas to perfection. Barrow is complicated and makes you love and dislike him. Great job!!!
Barrow: You are the manipulative little witch... well said of this horrible woman...
8:13 "Though in your case it was unmarried love, wasn't it, dear?" 😂 Who else finds that line so funny? Maybe it seems like a bit of a dated joke now, but I just love that subtle shade from Mrs Hughes 😂♥️
The line was perfect 👍.
@@phalynwilliams4119 yesss 🙌
I really love thomas now, he protects this family with so much vigor
Technically he gets no money. He's living off his daughter's money. Robert, George, George's son etc.
Robert is an idiot with the money business aspect. The arrogance of his character, and I think intentional, seems to represent the current Brexit group, which we see today was the greatest mistake the UK has made since electing Thatcher.
thomas is spilling the tea☕️ we stan
I'm tickled that Tom calls her a manipulative witch, because she goes on to play Tissaia in the Witcher.
OH MY GOOOODDDDSSSS!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUU!!! I just rewatched Witcher last month and I kept staring at her going "I know you but from where?" Jeez, changed her hair and mannerisms and I legitimately didn't recognize her. 👏🏾
Oh my Godness, really? Tissaia in that ,,show" is a joke. That was the most powerful witch in the world? Strict, proud, demanding and the best? The real Tissaia from the book would not even spare her a glance, what a joke.
GO MRS. HUGHES!!!!
I started hate Edna since her first scene
Mrs Hughes is a BEAST
God, I loved how Mrs. Hughes has had enough of that stupid girl. She walks ( 8:58 ), up to her with a threatening tone about references.
5:56 - Starts talking about Lady Sybil, and THEN THEY PLAY THEIR THEME!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDD';
Ugh you described Edna perfectly: Sickly.
I hated how Robert and Cora we’re just so quick to believe Edna over Anna even though she had done nothing for them but be just an employee. Meanwhile Anna and Bates have been more than loyal to the family
The way Edna Rushed upstairs in Frustration... Made me Sigh in Relief... Mrs. Hughes was RIGHT!
"To become a lady's maid." She's so devious. You can hear it in her voice!
God I hated Edna.
I never thought that I'd hate another character more than Miss O'Brien.
elamplough1 The only thing that made OBrien bearable was the fact that after she made Cora loose the baby’s he became very protective of her.
@@elamplough1 O'Brien was just vicious with a acid tongue just like Bates ex wife Vera. Of course Tom would NEVER go with Edna. It's not long after Sybil died and she wouldn't want tom to be alone
I need a Mrs. Hughes in my life 😭😭😭
I completely forgot why she was fired in the first place xD
Same, I don't even remember her.
Because she was making moves towards Tom even then and Mrs Hughes saw right through her and fired her. She only gave her a good reference becuase Tom (oblivious at the time) requested it.
She went into Tom's room against his will as he was undressing and kissed him
You don't mess with Mrs Hughes 'cause she will take you down
I think is is one rare time I would be like “YOU TELL HER THOMAS”
I couldn’t believe that she had the guts to go back and try to get past Mrs. Hughes! Good ol Thomas did read her like a book and if she had gotten away with it he would have made her life a living hell and made sure the Master had all the details. . Wise Mrs. Hughes I just adore her!
+Sunny nothing gets past Mrs Hughes or Carson
I love how Mrs. Hughes handles the situation!!
Love Mrs. Hughes. To the point. And with such quiet intensity.
Edna forgot that Queen Thomas rules Downtown Abbey
Why do I get the feeling that though it isn’t explicitly mentioned, Thomas was also being protective of Tom here?
Edna's sickly obsession with Tom is kinda relatable. Who wouldn't want to marry him tbh
@De St Yes, but he'd have to be wearing the chauffeur's uniform.
Robert J she was not in a good way though.
@@maryannlockwood7806 Can't argue with that tbh
She wasn't obsessed with him, she was obsessed with what she could achieve through him
I'd have wanted to marry him too but would have been sickly about it. none of us would have been I hope.
One of the few moments I loudly cheered for Thomas
Good for you Thomas
I love the Actress that plays Edna she was also in the Twilight movies
completely forgot lily james was in this show
Charlily Mo she’s the most visible since the show ended
Love this show...best characters and story lines ever...keep the plots and intrigue coming...love it...
Cora shouldn't have been so hasty in hiring the little cunning twit and Tom should've been more careful about becoming #MeToo material. Kudos to Mrs. Hughes for being wise, worldly and upholding justice as usual. Carson is a lucky man!
He fucking drugged!!!
The way Cora hired Edna was so unrealistic. Why would a woman of her status go to the maid for the interview? That makes no sense and would never happen.
@@raephaelemasirnille5794 cause Edna lied and had told Cora she couldn't travel far due to her sick aunt(?). Edna did have all those amazing clarifications and Cora did not want to lose such a good candidate, that's why she went there
@@joanbernsten3960 Oh, i remember the reason Cora went to Edna but in reality that would have never happened. A Lady of the house of Grantham would never lower herself to cater to a servant. No matter how good a maid she thought she might be. That's not how it works. The writers should have had Edna come to the house and had Mrs Hughes off on personal business that day and missed her interview.
@@raephaelemasirnille5794 I agree that that would have been much better but I think this might have happend, Cora was after all American
Bye Felicia!! 🤣😂🤣
Gold digging and obsession are two entirely different things. She was simply a gold digger.
Jesus christ she's scarily obsessive
Why does no one ever lock their bedroom door in this series?
Thomas is out here owning the scene skksks
For the first time I liked Thomas.
I love my smug n sassy boi
Love Mrs. Hughes!!!
Gotta love Thomas!!
Sickly is a good word to describe it
Bruh you know how much it pisses me off that she tried to manipulate and blackmail him UGH tom is my baby
Mrs. Hughes is such a badass. I love her.
Good old Mrs Hughes. 😁
I wish I have a boss like Mrs Hughes
Last season i felt kind of sorry for her. But here she was just evil...
"My lady, I practice what I've learned and my comb is soooooo red." Run Tom! Run!
Mrs Hughes ur the man
This is one of my best scenes
I REALLY dislike her. It’s not like she is in love with him. It’s purely monetary.
Tom was drunk when Edna went into his room. Anna wasn’t the only one who was raped that night.
Lol what a funny way to climb the ladder.
If you want a reference haha love Mrs Hughes
The thirst is real
I’m surprised Cora would hold an interview for a ladies maid without Mrs Hughes and Carson involved in the process in the first place. After all, the girl was going to be part of the staff and so she was going to be under the direct management of these two. Normally, they should have had a say. Also, Rose is very sweet and well-intended but she knows nothing about hiring someone, it’s not enough to like the person. In that case, the fact that Edna had left the house only so recently (and with no prior notice) and now wanted back in should have rung some bells. But Rose is too young and inexperienced to spot such things in someone’s CV and managed to sway Cora too, who seemed to have some doubts at the beginning.
Don’t mess with Mrs. Hughes
I love Mrs Hughes here!
I forgot, what was the reason she got fired in the first place?
But this Edna charactor was so dispicable, that i feel sorry for the actress.
I love her. She’s amazing in The Witcher
His face 😂 9:41
Tom should had known that Edna has a crazy obsession over him. I had a feeling she seems a little psychotic
Wht series is that as on series four right now but can't remember seeing her in it
If it was these days, Edna would sue Branson for a lot of money.
Unlikely. Remember the book Mrs Hughes found in Edna's room.
If she just came to downton because of tom there is something messed up going on in her mind
Which episode(s) is/are this?
Edna and Mr. Green deserved one another
Ladies & gentleman...this is the differences btw lust vs. love.
this is sadly what happens in Australia. women are able to hold a man ransom
there's no such thing as financial abortion here
Wanted - First Rate Lady’s Maid, Skilled at Sewing and Arranging hair. Applications and references to be sent in envelope addressed to The Postmistress (Lady’s Maid position).
“If you’re good enough for Sybil Crawley, I am good enough for you” No you aren’t Braithwaite, Tom didn’t have to drug and baby trap someone for them to care about him.
Gotta ask...which series does this pertain to...?
I thought two different women played her. How is it she was more attractive the first time around? Other than that, i was repulsed by that storyline.
This reminds me of fatal attraction.
He was too kind to her, give her wrong signal,,
What happened the first time Edna was at Downton??
She was stalking to Tom and find it disturbing thus her being sacked but Tom asked Mrs. Hughes to give her a reference so she can start somewhere else.
dobazajr Thanks
Imma say it: Cora was condescending af sometimes, especially with the servants
Oh good, my brother's current gf, although she succeeded. Stalked him outside our house for months. Moved in, got pregnant, and after having the baby refuses to work and instead insists my brother provide for them. My brother is now suicidal and we have since banned her from our house. She lives with her mother in another city and my brother sends most of his money to support her. He tried to convince us to let her stay with us again till they can get a room somewhere and the baby can be in the city, but the rest of us forbid it. Kinda easy to ban her after she took the baby out of town without telling anyone and not giving the child's grandfather a chance to say goodbye. He died two months later. It's still beyond her grasp why we forbid her to set foot in this house again. I hope you rot in hell, Thuy.
My brother is with a crazy woman too.
They don't have any kids together, but it has been rough enough.
with Tom or with CRAWLEY FAMILY?
litoboy5 Both I'd say.
@@lawgirl2007
lol
Yes !!!
I'd say with Upper class and climbing the social ladder
