Lady Mary Finds Out About Matthew's Startling New Romance | Downton Abbey

[@Twentythousandlps]

Michele Dockery is a true cinematic actress, able to express ambiguous, complex emotions just through her face, as she does here.

[@blue3381]

Absolutely. And one of the most beautiful speaking voices I've ever heard.

[@greekre]

edith is such a gunt

[@lesleyatcofo]

I definitely like Edith better than Mary.

[@lesleyatcofo]

Matthew was the one person who humanized Mary. Luvenia was a kinder person for sure. I think she was pretty as well.

[@brunasabino1795]

The scene with Mary and Matthew at the train station is one of the most beautiful and touching scenes in Downton Abbey. Michelle Dockery's performance is restrained, while we can feel all the worry and despair in her farewell with Matthew.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Michelle Dockery’s hairstyle storytelling throughout the series is fabulous 🔥

[@octoberfalls-nf3cr]

I really wish that they would bring Downton Abbey back not only for myself but also others

[@12classics39]

She won’t let her mother or sisters know how she’s feeling, but she trusts Anna enough to be honest in front of her. That says a lot about their friendship.

[@cynthiachengmintz672]

Today, Mary would be telling her therapist everything and hide things from her mom and sisters.

[@samanthasmith61]

I felt she def could tell her mom and sybil (not Edith) but she def felt that it will make them have mixed feeling on Matthew and Lavinia, and it will hurt her pride

[@Ariana-wv4pf]

Actually it isn't just that. She was very proud. Anna was a simple girl and her inferior in class so she didn't feel the need to keep appearances around her. And she trusts Anna to keep all her secrets. I don't think she trusts her mother to be as discreet. Her mother could tell her father and she doesn't want the family to pity her. She hates being pitied. She's a proud and vain woman. That's why I love when Matthew brings out the softness and vulnerability in her. Which she effectively lost the day he died.

The scene at the railway station is very good one, both showed how they tried to control their emotion towards each other.

[@pattywilliams788]

I really miss Downton Abbey and the Crawleys.

[@thelmadickinson6811]

Me too.

[@ferrisulf]

The scene where she is saying goodbye to him at the train station is Michelle's most gorgeous look. She's not in a very fancy outfit or anything, but there's something about her in that scene that is just breathtaking.

[@neeharikavijaykumar6425]

I always thought so!! She’s beautiful in that scene.

[@jm1657]

Yes, she looks especially pretty in jewel tones. Wonderfully complimentary to her skin tone & brown eyes.

[@arivanilla]

I cry every time when I watch the scene. It's beautifully done and heartbreaking. The emotions of two characters are genuine and her acting is marvelous.

[@StargazerNorth1]

Her experiences in S1 really softened her; in particular, her love for Matthew made her so vulnerable and this was reflected in her hairstyling and makeup for S2. It’s incredibly romantic and dreamy, as if she’s physically expressing everything she feels for Matthew in her appearance.

[@nat_natprairieseeker4046]

@@StargazerNorth1 I really like this interpretation of Mary’s appearance and it makes sense. Her appearance when she was with Matthew was special - very romantic and my favourite!

[@lauraricci62]

The train station scene shows the most romantic farewell I've ever seen in TV series! Mary and Matthew said goodbye to each other but at that moment they realized deep inside how strong their bond was... meanwhile the train smoked and the station master whistled ... Thank you for this clip

[@m.layfette6249]

The part when Lady Mary breaks down with Anna is the epitome of her character arc at this stage in the series. She could not bare to let her True feelings be shown to her sisters and her mother. Hence why she brought up Sir Richard Carlise.

[@huascar66]

And it shows just how sweet and close the friendship between Lady Mary and Anna was.

[@mattdavis1735]

Matthew and Mary are my favorite onscreen couple! These scenes are wonderful as theyre so loving toward each other and brought out the best in one another. He helped her to become kinder and she helped him become stronger....oh i so miss them terribly lol.....

[@m.layfette6249]

"Wherever I'm going, I'm so pleased we're friends again." 💘

[@m.layfette6249]

"Good bye then, and such Good luck." "Goodbye Mary, and God Bless you." This is one of my favorite moments between Lady Mary and Captain Crawley. It signifies their relationship and how Not even a war could keep them apart in each other's hearts. 💞

[@abhilashmishra3601]

I cried a bucket when I first watched this scene

[@mv21295]

I love Mary's story in Season 2 and hated when Matthew said that both he and Mary deserve to be unhappy after Lavinia's death. For a self-centered character in Season 1, Mary was rather selfless throughout the second season, doing all she could for Matthew's happiness. As for Michelle Dockery, she looked so beautiful throughout this season. She is incredibly talented and she managed to capture every nuance of Mary's character, delivering both her venomous and sweet nature in different scenes absolutely perfectly. And to echo what everyone said, the train station scene was perfect.

[@sarahberkner]

Not only that, but she also helped save Downton. Mary isn't completely selfish like people think and she gets better near the end of the show.

[@arivanilla]

Matthew is the best male character for me. His kind heart wins everyone over at Downton and even now still be a great value for the show. He really brings the best out of Mary, and Mary is at her softest and kindest because of her love for Matthew. I often think of what's it like if they still together and how happy they would be with their kids

[@m.layfette6249]

"So you must promise to bring it back without a scratch." 🐕

[@coffeebean8790]

As an Edith fan, I have to say that I really enjoyed the development she went through in Series 2. When we see her here in the first episode, she still has that tendency from Series 1 to be petty out of bitterness. However, as this Series goes on she finds a purpose in life and starts to think more about the needs of others. As Sybil nicely puts it in Episode 2x07, "You're so much nicer than you were before the war." I truly believe that Edith had some of the best character development of all of the characters. I also wonder if Edith knowing that Richard Carlisle is a newspaper mogul could be a hint at her future as a journalist. You can tell from that comment that she obviously reads the papers and seems interested in the goings on in the world.

[@k.h.6991]

Mary did have to know he was engaged. They had to tell her before she met him again.

[@fandomking8939]

​@@k.h.6991she wasn't doing it to let Mary know though, she was doing it to hurt her. As the OP said, it was petty.

[@helenhern893]

Mary has been prepared for these situations all her life, to keep a stiff upper lip. But her devastation is clear. Perhaps even more than when Matthew walked away from her at the garden party.

[@susel_vazquez_acuna]

That was a huge piece of acting from Michelle Dockery

[@coryklein84]

Anna was always my favorite character

[@andrebitoff3726]

What a scene, what series. I miss it!

[@SandraStranger]

The train station scene is heart breaking i feel her pain i wanted to hug her good acting on her part she plays her part so well she is perfect as lady mary

[@m.layfette6249]

"Edith I don't know how helpful you're being."

[@ElizabethWarrenYeahYeah]

I think Edith was paying back some of Mary's harshness she'd dished out to her in the past. If the roles were reversed you knew that Mary would do exactly the same but with a much bigger barb attached to the comment.

[@MeMeDaVinci]

It's not as of Mary wouldn't have found out anyway. At least she had time to put her emotions in check. Edith did her a favor, as she does most often.

[@12classics39]

Cora was mostly a good mother but this is her greatest failure - the fact that she just let her daughters treat each other like this for years on end and did absolutely nothing about it.

[@Celisar1]

@@12classics39 Absolutely! 💯 true.

[@sarahberkner]

​@@MeMeDaVinci It seemed pretty clear that she wanted to hurt Mary with the news. I like later on in the show when she stands up to Mary but it might have been better for her to do that years before instead of trying to hurt her too.

[@seanbrowning616]

Maggie smith is a legend who could probably pull off any role and Michelle Dockery is a great actress

[@CrimsonThorns]

In a later episode: "How can Matthew have chosen that blonde piece" [Dowager Countess]. 😎...i love it

[@tessdurberville711]

Interesting, since I thought Lavinia's actress would have been perfect to portray a young Violet.

[@CrimsonThorns]

@@tessdurberville711 - Yes...i wonder what that might look like if Julian Fellowes would write a series with a 1860s setting...a young Violette. 😎

[@sarahberkner]

​@@tessdurberville711 I was just thinking that, her personality is completely different but she does kind of look like a young Maggie Smith.

[@michaelrief4424]

What a wonderful series. At the time it was on TV I was working so much overtime that I missed many an episode so later on I just bought the entire series and enjoyed it once again.

[@captainyossarian388]

8:09 One of the best moments in any TV series. The music, the acting, the setting. Oh ya, that flame is alive and well, and such a relief after their very ugly breakup at the end of season 1. Must've replayed this scene a hundred times when the episode was released. Perfection.

[@BuckWinthrop]

Greatest show ever made.

[@torontotsts8218]

He really brought out a softness in her that made her so likeable.

I was crying when Mary see Matthew at train station..it reminded me when I saw my ex boyfriend off when he was on a military mission but never came back to me after that mission 😢😢😢😢😢

[@ericholck3914]

Poor Lavinia. She really got a raw deal in her storyline.

[@Lori-xt2lf]

And hairstyles. Lol.

[@SandraStranger]

I felt her pain at the railway station I wanted to give her a hug I didn't think her family stood by her very much

[@anthony75829]

All I can say is that Edith couldn't wait to tell Mary...😁😁

[@robboyte1101]

She won't show her true feelings to her mother and sisters, but breaks down and shows vulnerability in front of a servant. Might seem odd to contemporary viewers, but that's what the landed gentry did back then.

[@katella]

Yes they could do that because "the servants" weren't real people to them. I knew an American heiress and was with her one day when her housekeeper, a woman in her mid forties, came into the room to say that she was leaving the house for her afternoon off. After the woman left, she turned to me and said "I don't know what a person like that does with an afternoon off." 🤔 Incredible, no?

[@Strix07024]

Ohh my heart. This scene unlocked and unearthed memories for me from nearly 20 years ago, when I saw my high school sweetheart off at the airport for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I remember trying to put on a brave face as I kissed him goodbye, all the feelings of unknowns…but crying my heart out after he left. ❤️

[@eugenecaio1592]

i'm surprised they tried to portray Lavinia as "not very pretty".

[@tamaraprentice5940]

I thought she was beautiful too.

[@lxtatar7773]

Not pretty in their eyes since they compare her to Mary (whom they love)

[@run4cmt]

That was just the Dowager. Mary was her favorite and was always her champion. I thought Lavinia was very pretty. She was also very sweet.

[@tessdurberville711]

She was lovely.

[@LucyPooh777]

I was wondering that too…. Lavinia was actually very pretty. She has that innocent look in her but I think she’s one attractive gal.

[@sheilaburns8977]

I read a lot of comments saying, "poor Edith", but Edith was nasty to Mary on many occasions. The worst thing Edith did was to write to the Turkish Embassy. She put the entire family's reputation at risk. I think folks just felt sorry for her because she was the "dowdy" sister and Mary always got so much attention.

[@elizabethr4107]

Edith outgrew her pettiness. Edith was also younger than Mary. Mary however never stopped being petty and cruel and small.

[@run4cmt]

Ruining a woman's reputation could have kept her from marrying. To a woman of her class it was the equivalent of getting a job today. If you did not marry you had no money and no social standing. What Edith did was beyond petty.@@elizabethr4107

[@oolala53]

Yes, she did some pretty tough things, but the way Mary always acted, it was pretty obvious that she had probably tortured Edith her entire life. It would’ve taken an incredibly mature person not to want to sometimes get the upper hand.

[@SandraStranger]

It's a pity Mary didn't know about Edith fling with the farmer drake after what Edith done to Mary about the Turkish man drake was a married man and she got away without her family knowing Mary could of used that

[@tessdurberville711]

The Pamuks had a right to know how their son died in Mary's bed. I kept waiting for a member of his family to show up, but apparently they knew he was a roue who would wind up dead in some harlot's bed eventually.

[@oolala53]

I don’t understand why people give Violet so much leniency. She’s very mean a lot of the time. Looks aren’t everything? Lavinia was also quite beautiful. In my opinion.

[@fostermomjudy6962]

far prettier than Mary

[@SandraStranger]

Any one who didn't cry at that scene its so romantic in a odd way it upsete so much

[@SandraStranger]

Watching Mary at the station saying goodbye was so cruel I wanted to hug her Matthew was so cruel I still don't know what she done to get Matthew be so cruel

[@ohdamnman]

I'm so glad that Edith took that bite

[@Lori-xt2lf]

Hey Lavinia! The 70’s called wanting their hairstyles back!

[@Artnotforthesakeofart]

"She'll find someone. I hope she does anyway" 😬 "Anyway". Truth slipped out. He wanted to be with Mary, not Livinia. Ahhhh these things happen in real life too. Life is cruel.

[@lxtatar7773]

Edith is such an ugly duckling here, I'm glad they did her justice in the later seasons, when she stopped being whiny and miserable and started doing something interesting in life

[@run4cmt]

She certainly did blossom starting with volunteering at the hospital. She started to find ways she could shine.

[@twc3546]

I actually like Lavinia, she is is sweet in comparison to Mary and Edith

[@run4cmt]

An honorable man who felt his feelings for Mary had caused Lavinia to give up. Matthew felt responsible and wanted to punish himself and Mary.

I still can't see why Dan Stevens stayed in Downton abbey when he was going to jump ship he didn't love Mary as all he did was declare his love for lavanià all the way through series 2 he was only going to Cornwall to make another film for his wife to watch there is a word for this what ever turns you on in Downton he should of got the flu so he could be with lavanià for all eternity as he said he wouldn't be happy without her Mary should of gone to America to find a good man like her father said

[@traditionalfood367]

[@SandraStranger]

After what Matthew said to Mary when lavanià was dying in front of Mary declared his love for lavanià he should of died of the flu and he could of been buried with lavanià then he could of been with her for all eternity as he loved her so much and Mary could of gone to America and found a good man like her father said after all she deserves better

[@SandraStranger]

When Mary did the scene at the railway station I wanted to cry for her all those years wasted on loving Matthew it was like a dagger in her heart Matthew should of died of the flu and laid to rest with lavanià for eternity and Mary should have found a good man she deserves that after wasting her life on Matthew

[@vickiross1025]

Its sad that people had to be dressed like children.

[@SandraStranger]

I think Matthew should of married lavanià the writers got it wrong. Or catch the flu and go with lavanià as he seemed to love her so much Mary should of gone to America like her father said and find a good man she spent so many years waiting for Matthew and in the end he loved lavanià he couldn't resist telling Mary so many times especially at the funeral in the end he didn't want to stay in the series anyway I hope he fails in every thing he does why start a series when you know it could go on longer all to make some awful film in Cornwall and ditches the fans in England may he fail at every thing he looked rediculous

[@anitasoni9988]

Please don't wish bad luck to anyone. Mathew was a fine actor in Downtown Abbey and we enjoyed his wonderful presence in it. Everyone has a right to decide his (or her) future course for himself and be responsible for the end result. Most viewers missed him after he left Downton Abbey.

[@run4cmt]

He wanted to grow as an actor. That ending where he dies is one people still talk about. As much as I hated to see him leave, it was brilliant writing. Matthew loved Mary more than Lavinia, but would have married her because he did love her and had made a promise.
