The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe French villa is settled at last: old Lady Grantham's choice was never a whim. On a sunlit terrace, Tom and Lucy talk about luck, blood, and using the house for the good of others. They remember Sybil, and Tom admits he thought he would never love again. Nearby, Cora looks tired and goes in for a nap. Edith asks if something is troubling her. Cora says it is nothing, honestly.
