Andrew Scarborough

It's the summer season and as part of Rose's `coming out' she is to be presented at Buckingham Palace. The family and servants are at Grantham House, their London residence, preparing for the busy social season.

A Labour government comes to power in the general election; Lady Mary receives another proposal from Tony Gillingham.

Rosamund comes up with a plan to help Edith deal with her problem, but Violet may be about to see right through it; Isobel is the object of someone's attention; Mary asks Gillingham for a favour.

Robert has a very difficult decision to make; Daisy continues to struggle with her studies and Mrs Patmore has an idea which could fix everything.

When things don't go as planned, Robert is left red-faced and furious; Mary's secret is nearly blown.

There's trouble when Mary takes Marigold to the farm and they are spotted by Mrs Drewe; Carson and Mrs Hughes have different ideas about their wedding; Edith argues with the magazine's publisher; Anna sees a doctor.
