Trivia
When Violet chastises Edith for having submitted an article to a newspaper, Edith defends herself by mentioning Lady Sarah Wilson, who was Britain's first woman war correspondent in WW1.

Goofs
Tom is on the run from the Irish police. When he gets to Downton he beats so loudly on the front door everyone at dinner hears him. Mary lets him in and he informs her not to tell anyone he's there. This makes no sense, if he wanted to get in unannounced he would have gone to the servants entrance, not beaten on the front door so loudly he made his presence known to everyone.

Quotes
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: I think Granny's right.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Can somebody write that down?

The Times They Are A-Changin'

There are many significant events in this episode. Some of them show that the comfort level of the Crawley's is being diminished. We know that Matthew, who is now half of the partnership, is a real businessman. Robert has been slipshod and almost lost the Abbey and Matthew has saved his bacon. Still, he is used to being in command. Bates is still in prison and has to resort to some dramatic means. Edith, after being encouraged by Violet, is going to begin to embrace women's issues. Sybil and Branson have gotten themselves in hot water over the revolution in Ireland, much to the dismay of everyone. Ethel must see to the fate of her little boy at great cost. Also, some new faces appear downstairs now that things have settled down financially. This is real "set-up" episode and is very well done. Sparks are going to be flying soon.
