[EXT. THE VILLAGE - DAY]

　　[Anna walks down the street, sees a man by a tree nearby who looks like Bates. She rushes to him, but he has disappeared.]

　　[INT. DOWNTON ABBEY, WARD - DAY]

　　[Sybil makes up the hospital beds.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Who'll be in charge?

　　LADY EDITH

　　Cousin Isobel thinks it'll be her.

　　LADY MARY

　　All know is that she'll drive us mad before the end.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm going up to change.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I just want to finish this.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Aren't you going to the hospital?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Not yet. I'm on a night shift. I'll walk down after dinner. And please don't start lecturing me.

　　LADY EDITH

　　I won't. The truth is, I envy you.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Do you ever miss helping out on the Drakes' farm?

　　LADY EDITH

　　That's a funny question. Why?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　No reason. It's just, you seemed to have such a purpose there. It suited you.

　　LADY EDITH

　　It did suit me. I enjoyed it. But now I feel like a spare part.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Trust me, you have a talent that none of the rest of us have. Just find out what it is and use it. It's doing nothing that's the enemy.

　　[INT. LADY GRANTHAM'S BEDROOM - DAY]

　　O'BRIEN

　　The truth is, milady, Mrs Crawley's forgotten this is your house. And we need a friend in charge of the day-to-day management. Because if Mrs Crawley gets one of her toadies in to run things, she'll have her nose in every pie before you can say Jack Robinson.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　But who?

　　O'BRIEN

　　What about Thomas, milady? He's hospital trained, and he's always had a soft spot for Downton.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Thomas? The footman? Managing Downton Abbey?

　　O'BRIEN

　　But he's not a footman now, is he? He's a corporal with real battle experience as a medic.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Could Dr Clarkson spare him?

　　O'BRIEN

　　Well, I suppose he'll have to spare somebody.

　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - DAY]

　　[Anna is learning how to use a curling iron on Mary's hair.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Are you all right? You seem a bit preoccupied.

　　ANNA

　　I had a...Never mind.

　　LADY MARY

　　What?

　　ANNA

　　It was this afternoon in the village, I thought I saw Mr Bates.

　　LADY MARY

　　Bates? Isn't he in London?

　　ANNA

　　I might've been wrong. I walked up to where he was standing and there was no sign of him, but--

　　LADY MARY

　　Do you know his address in London?

　　ANNA

　　As long as he's still there. Why?

　　LADY MARY

　　I'll telephone Sir Richard and ask him to look into it.

　　ANNA

　　But what would he know?

　　LADY MARY

　　He works in newspapers. A world of spies, tip offs, and private investigators. I promise you, he can find out whatever he likes.

　　ANNA

　　All right, then. If you think he can help.

　　LADY MARY

　　Good. I'll ring him tonight.

　　[Mary looks at her curled hair.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Not bad. Try to fit in a bit of practice. We've plenty of time to get it right before there's anyone to see me who matters.

　　[INT. LONDON, BELGRAVE SQUARE, LADY ROSAMUND'S HOUSE - DAY]

　　LAVINIA

　　I only know Sir Richard because he is, or was, a friend of my father's, and of my uncle, Jonathan Swire.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　The liberal minister?

　　LAVINIA

　　That's it. But I'm afraid they've fallen out.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　Aw.

　　LAVINIA

　　This room is so pretty. Has the house always been the Painswicks' London home.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　There's no always about the Painswicks, my dear. They were invented from scratch by my son-in-law's grandfather.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　We bought the house when we were married.

　　LAVINIA

　　You make Mr Painswick sound rather a rough diamond, Lady Grantham.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　Marmaduke wasn't a rough diamond, was he Mama?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　No. He was just cut and polished comparatively recently.
