Downton Abbey, All The Bad Things Happen to Us


HELLO! Looks to be about time time for this week's recap of Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 5.  Now with MORE LINKS!
As Always 
DONT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED YET. 
SPOILERS. 
SO MANY SPOILERS. 


Previous recaps, in case you missed them




 Dog BUTT! Dog Butt! DOG butt!

Oh boy, pregnancy looks fun

Sybil's due date is here and she finally looks all bloated like a real pregnant woman. YAY SYBIL! Mary wishes aloud that she were pregnant too but then she'd have to have sex and Matthew is still in the doghouse over one thing or another.


Creepy shoulder touch


O'Brien hints to Thomas that Jimmy likes him back. LOOKS LIKE ONCE AGAIN THOMAS HAS FORGOTTEN O'BRIEN IS THE DEVIL.  He sits too close to Jimmy all the time and Jimmy is creeped out, but doesn't say anything because BRITISH?


Nancy DrewAnna and The Hardy BoyBates finally solve the Mystery Of The Poison Pastry.  Dead Vera made that pie herself and ate it! SERIOUSLY? Clearly there was no CSI DOWNTON ABBEY in 1920, because we called that one the instant we saw Dead Vera sprawled on the floor last season.

Prostitute Helpful Helper

No thanks... Also I quit.

Isobel offers Ethel a job as Mrs Bird's helper to show SHE CAN TO rehabilitate a PROSTITUTE. Mrs Bird is not having ANY OF THAT, and quits. Mister Carson frowns and forbids the staff to go Isobel's house, like any of them would want to go there ever.

City Doctor vs. Country Doctor

Sir Doctor McFancypants makes graphic gyno references at the diner table. Robert throws up in his mouth a little.  Matthew whispers to Sir Doctor McFancypants  that he can't seem to knock Mary up. He's got weenie worries. The doctor sighs and explains where babies come from. YAY SEX!

Sweet, my issue of Bitch Magazine just got here

Edith the Journalist gets a job offer to pen a feminist newspaper column but Robert says no idiot child of his is going to write for a NEWSPAPER. Violet says Edith is making a spectacle of herself which is worse than being an idiot.  Edith wishes she had her own apartment.

We had a burrito! I mean a baby! I FEEL GREAT!

Sybil goes into labor for realsies and the doctors squabble about her symptoms of CatastrophicChildbirthSyndrome. There is screaming and everyone flips out and we are all worried but then the stork arrives with a sweet pink bundle of joy and everything is PERFECTLY FINE. 

LATER THAT NIGHT SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS.
IT IS RULLY BAD.

WHAT? NO! WHY? STOP!



OH NO.  THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.  
HOW MANY DOCTORS ARE IN THIS ROOM?


 NEXT SCENE, PLEASE! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?  MAKE IT STOP.

NO

I CAN NOT EVEN WORDS


THE SERVANTS CAN NOT EVEN WORDS

I ACTUALLY FEEL BAD FOR THOMAS?

SYBIL...


Ok... breathe... stop crying. 
Let's all take a break here for a second.
I know. Me too. 
Are you okay? Back to the rest of the recap. 

Oh and my dress is cuter.

It's morning and Mary and Edith say goodbye to Sybil's corpse. Mary tells Edith, "Sybil was the only person living who thought you and I were such nice people but everybody knows that I'm nice and you're wretched."   Edith says  "Like hell they do, everybody knows that I'M NICE AND YOU'RE WRETCHED.  They slap each other a few times and then the coroner comes and takes away the only nice sister's body.


We weren't talking about anything

Murray comes to Downton to talk about the  obvious new evidence about Rotten Mrs Bartlett with Anna.   Matthew thinks it's as good a time as any to talk about the management of Downton but Mary catches them and peels the skin off his ear with her acid stare. SHUT UP MATTHEW SO WE CAN HEAR THEM DRAGGING SYBIL'S BODY DOWN THE STAIRS.

Are you freaking kidding me right now?


Oh...

Cora is spitting mad at Robert for letting their only nice daughter die, and we can see he will never have sex again. Violet and Mister Carson share one brief teary moment, but that is the exception that proves the rule. Violet really is made of granite.
SADDEST MOMENT IN TELEVISION HISTORY.
