Mary and Gillingham spend an idyllic week driving around Cheshire, unrecognized, but Spratt, Violet's butler, spots them leaving a hotel in Liverpool and, clearly relishing the task, informs Violet. Violet instantly invents a cover story for the lovers. Later, she is greatly relieved when Mary tells her obliquely that she used birth control and plainly that Gillingham proposed before they became lovers: He wants to set the date. Violet still disapproves of her behaviour, but this does shed a different light on it—-as long as the engagement is announced immediately. Cora is in London, visiting Rosamund. She spends a pleasant day with Mr. Bricker, exploring museums and galleries and having dinner out on the spur of the moment. Meanwhile, Robert decides to go up to London and surprise her. He is angry to learn how she spent the day and contemptuous of the idea that Bricker could find Cora’s comments on art useful or interesting. Baxter goes to Cora and tells her the rest of her story, about the man who seduced, manipulated and abused her until she did his bidding in everything. Mrs Patmore is distressed that her nephew, Archie, has been excluded from the war memorial in Farsley, his home village, because the committee considered him unworthy. (Archie bravely enlisted at the very beginning of the war, but he later developed shell shock and was unjustly shot for cowardice.) Mrs Patmore hopes to have Archie’s name added to the monument in the Downton village, but Carson is adamantly against it. Edith's constant visits to see Marigold are upsetting Mrs Drewe, and Mr Drewe asks Edith to temporarily stay away. A developer wants to build fifty houses near the village, but Robert refuses to sell the land to build "50 modern monstrosities". Rose brings a group of refugee Russian aristocrats to Downton for tea; one of them, Prince Kuragin (Rade Šerbedžija), met Violet and her husband (Lord and Lady Grantham) in 1874 when they were in Russia for a royal wedding. Lord Gillingham is eager to wed Mary quickly, but she thinks that her judgement was clouded by desire and now doubts that he is the right man for her.

September and December 1924. Lord and Lady Sinderby invite the Granthams to the country estate they have hired for driven grouse shooting. The Dowager Countess reunites Prince Kuragin and his estranged wife. Carson and Mrs Hughes search for a house as an investment together, but Mrs Hughes reveals she has no money and cannot retire as she must pay for her mentally disabled younger sister Becky's care. Carson reveals he has bought a property in both their names. He then proposes marriage to Mrs Hughes, and she accepts. Isobel declines Lord Merton's earlier marriage proposal, not wanting to come between him and his sons. Robert learns he has a stomach ulcer, and agrees to stop drinking. He also tells Edith that he knows that Marigold is his granddaughter and agrees to continue the charade that she has been adopted by Edith. To absolve Anna, Bates writes a letter confessing to having attempted to kill Mr Green, and disappears, apparently, to Ireland. Molesley and Baxter find the pub where he had lunch on the day in question, proving he was not in London when Green was killed. Anna is released on bail. A big Christmas party is held for the Downton household. Tom has found work with his cousin in America and will be taking his daughter Sybbie with him. Bates returns and reunites with Anna.

Mary refuses to pay, but Rita confronts Robert, who buys her off with £50 instead of the £1,000 she demanded. Sergeant Willis informs Bates and Anna that a woman has confessed to murdering Green, and the case is closed. Anna is upset at not having had a child. Edith plans to spend more time in London and be more hands-on with the magazine. The family attend an auction at a neighbouring estate which is being sold to pay off debts. The former owner tells Robert that great estates like theirs are obsolete, and advises him to sell, too, before it's too late. Mrs Hughes asks Mrs Patmore to ask Mr Carson if he expects a "full marriage," meaning she wants to know if he expects physical intimacy."
