Season 3, Episode 1

Season 3 is here! 

In this episode of the Downton Abbey Reflection, we discuss Mary and Matthew's relationship, the Downton estate, Edith's prospects and much more!

After watching season 3, episode 1, there were a few things that I expected and some that I didn't.

In this episode of the Downton Abbey Reflection, I talk about:

Things that I thought would happen;

Things that I didn't think would happen;

Things that I'm glad happened;

Things that I wish would have happened; and

Things that I didn't really get.

We also go over the Dowager Countess' lines - and throw in a few from Mrs. Levinson as well!

What's going to happen next in Downton Abbey? I give my predictions. What are yours??
