Speculation about Episode 5 (Downton Abbey).

First of all I would like to say Thanks! To the person who posted a link to my blog on Digital Spy forums.


....

 In the TV preview of the next episode , in the scene with Sybil and Branson, where it looks like they're going to kiss....It actually sort of looks like she's going to faint. Her eyelids are going downwards and her head a bit too....Spanish Flu?

She looks sort of feverish too.

...
And those promo pictures (SPOILERS!) for Epi-5....What is O'Brian up too? You know maybe she's going to poison Vera.

  ‘I’m not standing by while she brings misery and ruin on my lady.’. And the series seems to be fro-shadowing poison. Branson and the soup of course. And in Series 1, Daisy gets cleaning powder and food mixed up. Thankfully she manages to put switch them back to the way there supposed to be....But anyway what if O'Brian poisons Vera and pins it on Bates and Anna?

..
On a longer summery The Global Herald...(course we don't know if its true or not....) its says

"The Earl (Hugh Bonneville) is somewhat out of the loop, making excuses for his wife, hearing of his daughter’s engagement through the papers and only just managing to give the say-so on a new maid to replace Ethel Parks (Amy Nuttall)."


His daughters engagement? The first thing that comes to mind is Mary. But in last episode Richerd Carlisle wrote to Lord Granthem asking for his blessings. Promo Pictures. SPOILERS.


Promo pictures show Mary next to Matthew? Maybe she and him get engaged?


Or Sybil and Branson? Though it probably wouldn't be the best idea to publish a frobidden engagement int the newspaper...Unless...Maybe back then you registered you were engaged? And they printed it whether you wanted them to or not?


That would bring a very interesting reaction. 




The  Earl is reading his newspaper.


"Oh my goodness!" Sybils in engaged" sputters " to BRANSON!?"


Lady Cora"Branson? Is that the Earl of Branson?" Did I meet him at some party?"


"Well dear, he did drove us to the party" mutters something about "I envy your ignorance".


..
Yep, Cora probably wouldn't remember her drivers name.


...
And that same summery mentions....


"Devastating news from the front brings a radical change in the future of Downton. A re-ordering of relationships means a financially secure future for one of the staff and a not so secure future for those upstairs. Violet (Maggie Smith) does her best to pull some strings, but there is little she can do in the face of so much upheaval except bully a few local inferiors. Even Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is nursing soldiers by the time the family have regrouped."

A financially secure future for one of the staff....who?" And a not so secure future for those upstairs?

Perhaps someone downstairs is the third heir?(Promo pictures SPOILERS ,Matthew looks pretty bummed out about something, so maybe he refuses the title of Earl because he's so upset?)

Maybe Thomas is the third Earl? Though technically he isn't a staff member anymore...But it would be bad for those upstairs, because he would just chuck them out the door when he inherited....

...

Ah my mind. It is a whirling with teasers, spoilers and theory. My poor mind!


NOTE: Some of these ideas are my Moms.
