It's the final week of our fan love Spring! Who better to close out our month of DA classics than screen icon Paul Giamatti? It's the iconic heist episode, which also prominently features 'Mary's Men', Miss Bunting, Evil Barrow, Isis (The Dog), and Martha Levinson! We've enjoyed this trip down memory lane and hope you have to!

It's time for some radical politics! Sybil is not afraid to be a political person, even if it means bringing Branson to multiple heated protests! Carson and Violet receive letters about a certain Turkish diplomats passing, Edith woos Sir Anthony, Mary woos her cousin, and Barrow tries to double down on the wine theft from last episode!

It's still Fan Love month for the Lords of Grantham, and boy oh boy do we love to love! It's the return of Jos Tufton, Patmore's flirtatious and hungry suitor!

Mary's about to pop, Matthew and O'Brien are about to big adieu and the Bates' are enjoying one last moment of peace before Fellowe's derails their entire lives once again. We have 2 weeks left of Fan Love Month, what episodes of Downton do you want us to revisit? Let us know on social media!

The Lords of Grantham swerve away from the hyped return of Mr. Tufton to revisit a topical episode, the season 2 finale, a.k.a. the rise and fall of the Spanish Flu in Downton. But there's oh so much more going on, Bates & Anna are getting married, Barrow's trying to get a job, the Mary/Matthew/Lavinia/Richard drama is still afoot, Jane and Robert are up to something, and Sybil and Branson drop the bomb that they're going to tie the know.
