Well, help is on the way: Downton Abby (season three) is back to remind you that even the rich have problems.
Halfway through last night’s episode, Mary nearly called off the wedding — “How can you be so disappointing, Matthew?” — but by the end, she was at the altar, and the whole house, both upstairs and downstairs, breathed a sigh of relief.
As she stood beside Matthew, Mary promised him she would be “unpredictable” — in a good way. It was a rather sweet moment but hard to imagine: for one of Downton’s most lovable qualities is that it is predictable. Good will conquer evil, love will conquer hate, and the Dowager Countess will conquer her distaste for vulgar Americans. Well, maybe.
and yes that is Shirley MacLaine:
Shirley MacLaine’s much-anticipated entrance as Cora’s mother, Martha, was a masterclass in how to command an audience.
