  What I love about this scene is that it captures the excitement people experience when they learn something new about a loved one that passed. For a moment they talk about them as if they were alive again. Very bittersweet and brilliantly acted.

  "Her kindness changed my life."  is a beautiful delivery from the actress.  Powerful, subtle, emotional.

  I love how Isobel alleviates the awkwardness twice - after Mary rudely says “you had every opportunity,” Isobel turns the mood around by complimenting Gwen’s climb up the social ladder. And then when Rosamund subtly criticizes Gwen for considering Downton not good enough to stay, Isobel immediately praises Gwen for following her dreams. It’s clear where and how Matthew developed his incredible kindness.

  Sybil lives on. Even the mention of her name shifts the air in the room. You can see people taking stock, even if just for a moment, searching for their better selves.

  The way Gwen remembers Sybill almost makes you want to cry.

  I love this whole part of the episode. It was so wonderful seeing Gwen again and her being so successful. I also love how she&apos;s continuing Lady Sybil&apos;s kindness by reaching out to help other women. It&apos;s also so wonderful seeing everyone remember how amazing Lady Sybil was.

  I love how Edith calls it as it is, too. That Gwen was in their house for 2 years and they never spoke! Pretty incredible.

  Anna: When were you a friend of Gwen&apos;s?<br>Mrs. Patmeore: I wonder if Karl Marx might finish the liver pate?<br>Molesley: Not when his daughter ran off with a chauffeur in the interim.&quot;<br><br>The downstairs crew are a different kind of savage 😅

  “I see she hasn’t got time to greet her old friends.”<br><br>As she had a brief lovely chat with Anna.
