I love how Robert was well aware of his daughter’s behavior while her mother was oblivious to it. Not the usual dynamic but it’s interesting
I think Cora is aware of Mary's behavior. She knew something was wrong after Mary excused herself with a headache when she was mad at Matthew. Cora told her not to quarrel with him because she may need him, which turned out to be true. The look Cora had on her face when Robert said Mary could be such a child showed she secretly understood what he meant. Her asking him what he meant was like "I already know, but humor me." Robert was kind of late to the party when it came to Mary, so I thought it was interesting for him to say it out loud in front of everyone and acknowledge her issues.
You're right he does seem to know his daughter better than the mother does.
His lordship is watching Lady Mary and Mathew like a hawk. The estate and his widow's and daughter's futures depend on who Mathew marries.
Keldon McFarland That makes a perfect sense.
@@keldonmcfarland2969 I believe that to be the primary thing, but also looking at these 2 and their other feelings for one another get in the way of their love for one another.
Poor Daisy she gets blamed for everything by Mrs Patmore 😂
Yes, but more in the first season..by the third & fourth seasons, Daisy starts becoming like a daughter to her.
Patriarchy is Natural _ true she had mother daughter relationship with her in the end.
@@brendonmartin9550: Yes she did, and it was most touching.
Joe Dick that’s harsh.. she married William to boost his morale even though she didn’t want to. She was eager to help Sybil when she wanted to learn how to cook. She was heart broken when Sybil died. She stood up for William’s dad when he was about to lose his farm. She sabotaged mrs Bird’s cooking when mrs. Pattmore thought she was losing her job etc etc. I can think of more good than the “pretty horrible” things.
@Joe Dick yes she definintely was a cunt. William was on his deathbed hoping to marry and give her benefits that'll help her and her reasoning to not marry was "oh ma values ooooo its not right." That's retarded logic to say the least when the obvious kindness was to just go through with it and pretend for those few moments.
The shot of Mary watching Matthew walk away with his reflection in the window, Robert's commentary in the background, and the final shot of Edith left alone with all that empty space around her, was one of the most perfect moments of the show, cinematography-wise. Beautifully shot.
Agreed!
@elsalabouret1476…every moment is perfect in this show 😭😭😭❤❤❤
I love Roberts analogy of Mary referencing how Mary was treating Matthew like a toy.
Then later Matthew gets together with Lavinia - a sweet, selfless girl that adores him - and he still prefers Mary.
@@snowangelnc yep very true
Look, you can't help it. It makes you feel awful later but at the time you feel completely justified and pure.
@@snowangelnc Men dont want affable They want Excitement with charm!
@@iwhippedcreamcode4642 I think a lot of men would prefer Lavinia. It just happens that Matthew isn't one of them.
Sybil is such a sweet soul. She remembers to think of Mrs Patmore. While Edith is whining about "poor sir Anthony" 😂
5-second rule on the chicken. It will be fine Mrs. Patmore.
I hate to admit it but when im drunk i go to the 10 second rule.
but the cat bit it...
gross myth
Given the amount of bugs they dealt with it was probably nothing ...
@@OnLifeandLove Fun fact, humans have dirtier mouths than dogs and cats .
Let that sink in .
Season 1 was all infatuation between these two. Not real love. Mary was immature and selfish. Matthew was blinded by his attraction to her. It took a war (and engagements to others) for these two to finally see each other.
No. It was real, but they broke each other's hearts.
No. It wasn't infatuation. It was the real thing, but Mary was afraid to commit because she carried the shameful secret of how Mr Pamuk died in her bed. She felt like she had this "Scarlet Letter" she carried around inside her, like she was tainted somehow and
was afraid of what would happen if Matthew ever found out. She was afraid that she would lose him, that he would leave her. He truly loved Mary as well and was so hurt, he got engaged to Miss What's her face on the rebound.
@Joe Dick I guess they had different beauty standards back then. Mary is more classically beautiful than Sybil, I believe. The face and the cheekbones... Sybil's face is more plump and her lips are fatter (the beauty standards of today). I think that even in the 2000s they would have preferred Mary's appearence. They used to go crazy over underweight women. To me, they're both beautiful 🥰
Never liked this couple
Maple Islet 😇
What the eyes can’t see the heart won’t grieve over.
I like that.
Another one similar that my mother told me was "what the eyes don't see, heart don't leap". So true.
Moments like this that proved Robert knew just how immature and selfish Mary was makes me wish we had scenes where he actually tells her off for her awful behaviour. There were the odd times where he spoke sternly to her, ‘really Mary I wish you wouldn’t say such things, people will believe you mean them.’ or ‘That’s below the belt even for you.’ But she either just answered back or sulked like a spoilt child. Just once it would have been nice to see Robert properly shout at Mary, calling her out on her attitude and selfish actions and not have her try to justify herself back and actually look shamefaced.
I would have LOVED for him to say much, much more than "That's below the belt even for you" during that scene.
oh dont worry she gets her wrondoing shoved in her face in later seasons😊
I know, right?
All I could think during this scene was “LET THE KITTY HAVE THE CHICKEN!”
It was purring with contentment
🤣
Greedy cat!
@@Lafemmefutile The cat isn't greedy, it just likes the chicken!
I love the scene where Carson talks to Mrs. Patmore, it shows how good a manager he is with the staff, just like when he helped Alfred learn his spoons.
He was delightfully stiff and distant, but I loved Mr. Carson in scenes like this: removing artifice to show a very warm, kind man who cares a great deal. Reminds me of a couple of teachers I've been blessed enough to have had in my life.
I love the level of Cora's controlled firm yet restrained voice.
"Bring Fruit. Bring Cheese. Bring anything... to take this taste away.".
🍎🧀
Matthew deserved better than Mary
I hated Mary when she did this. What a selfish, entitled witch.
And to be clear I actually like Mary, but that does not excuse her infantile behavior here.
This was pay back for Edith writing to the Turkish embassy about how Pamuk died.
@@SS11660No, this happened BEFORE Edith's letter to the Embassy.
@@SS11660in fact, it was Mary's behaviour in this scene that led Edith to write the letter.
Mary was always so mean.
Best period drama show ever. Can’t wait for the movie
@Michael Moretti 18 months after the last episode
Michael Moretti 1927
I expected more of the movie.. it was a bit dissapointing.
Mathew didn’t get tired of Mary he just got tired of her behavior
When Mary said, "Matthew...he told me...oh wasn't I supposed to know?"
An impulsive lie just to hurt her sister, proving she's still no more than an adolescent.
Mary could be quite disappointing.
Mary was exaggerating, but Matthew did say something to Mary of the effect that he wasn't and never would be interested in Edith earlier. Mary just phrased it cruelly because Edith sniped at her first. Everybody was laughing at Mary's imitation and if Edith had said nothing, both of them would have gone on happily with their men. Both of them were disappointing in this scene, if we are being honest. They let their competition get so petty...and Edith fully embraced challenging Mary, it was cheapening to both Sir Anthony and Matthew. They are both guilty, so I don't know why Mary gets all the crap for this. I can't figure out whether it's because people like rooting for the underdog (Edith) or if it's because this scene was a negative for the Matthew/Mary romance.
cheetahinireland18 I hate that Mary gets blamed entirely for their catty arguments. Edith was just as horrible, and just as petty, but she can’t play on the same level as Mary and ends up getting hurt worse, so everyone blames Mary for everything. Obviously Mary could be horrible, but Edith is just as bad (if not worse, since she never seems to act even a little remorseful for anything she does).
Cleptrio Totally agree about everything. One scene that always stuck out to me is when Carson collapses while trying to pour the wine (I think it was the time they thought he was having a heart attack) and when they tell Edith to hurry and get help, she whines about Carson staining her dress 🙄 Rewatching the show really opened my eyes to Edith!
@@cheetahinireland18 and let's not forget that she wrote to the Turkish Ambassador and then said "in the arms of a slut"...I never quite forgave her at the beginning for the writing thing. You don't do that to your family..no matter how much you're "hurt" over some sibling rivalry.
Edith got exactly what was coming to her, nasty. Bitch. Always skulking in the shadows with her snide little comments, trying to get her knives into Mary.
i always wished to try one of these dinners they also look so good! and mrs patmore puts her heart and soul into it
But not that chicken
I never realized the way Mr Carson looked not to Mrs Hughes but to Mr Bates to clear the room
The wine color dress on Mary, beautiful color and the barely-there chiffon sleeves, so feminine. Must have toothpick arms to pull that off, she wears it well. ♥️
What in the world did Matthew see in Mary...
he belonged with Sybil...
But in real life nice people never end up together...
The part when Sir Anthony chokes with the salted dessert always gets me. It's hilarious 😂😂😂
Yes it is hilarious.
GOOD GOD!!
Poor Daisy. I love Mrs. Patmore though. She was running on sheer "panic" because she could hardly see anything.
Poor Mrs. Patmore. Edith had way more sense than Mary. If I were Matthew, I'd have NEVER spoken to her again.
Lovely. Complex, rich, hilarious, bitter, and vulnerable. Ah, Lord Fellowes. "When comes such another?"
Connell Walker this is such a beautiful comment that captures this show perfectly.
They just announced there may be a Season 7!
Edith was always so desperate! The thirst was real. They said that Downton Abbey was the first acting job of the actress who played her. Great job. I am glad that things finally worked out for Edith in the end and that she bested Mary who queened over her the entire series.
I don’t blame her for being desperate. Marrying was the only way for her to get away from Downton.
@@HappyStars234 And the fact that no one, men or even her own family took notice of her, made her more desperate to prove herself. And having Mary on her tail, flauting her succes and laughing at her failures really made Edith a bitch for a while. Thankfully she grew out of it and became the most succesful one of the family.
@@HappyStars234 Me neither. If I were in her shoes, I’d want to leave that place sooner rather than later too.
I don’t agree. Edith always held her own, especially in the middle and later seasons.
She genuinely liked him.
I always rooted for Edith and Daisy.
Mary and Edith were both terrible but what makes Edith better in this case is that she actually seemed to realize that she hurt Matthew and feel bad about it while Mary was exactly as his lordship said...annoyed that her toy didn’t stay put.
What did Edith do??
@@elinanderzon2922 publicise Marys one night stint with pamouk to the public and nearly ruining the family with it?
It was almost always Mary who hurt and belittled Edith and who started it.
@@TeylaDex
The only thing people can come up with.
It's amazing to see just how much they've all changed.
Ppl that defen Mary and call Edith terrible seem to forget how mean Mary was to Edith.
d-e-f-e-n-d
matthew would have never get tired of lady mary, just saying.
Silviasi22 Hummmm, Love can only last so long when one partner is mean, cruel & demanding. At least that’s my opinion
@@bonnielong5812 lady amry was complicate, everyone agrees, but she loved matthew with all her heart, that is a big true
Silviasi22 Yes once Mary grew up and stopped acting like a baby. If she continued on the path of treating him like a toy, that would not have led to their beautiful love.
@Kezia Nah he could never really get over her. Even with all her selfishness and ego, he always saw her in the best light.
Bonnie Long that's why it worked! she gave him spunk and pushed him to be his best, and he softened her hard edges. Perfect ying yang.
Such good actors!😍
7:34 THIS SHOT HERE!!! It’s so FUCKING good!!!!! It’s so dramatic and over the top and I fucking love it
Same!!!
I once was served apple pie covered with salt , when I complained the owner of the hotel could not understand it as the salt was kept over the other side of the kitchen far away from the sugar
Matthew was too good for her!!!
True!
@Joe Dick how very respectful to Michelle Dockery... They both are very pretty but in a different way. Mary has a classic and graceful beauty whereas Lavinia seems more innocent and shy. And neither of them is supposed to look hot or 'fuckable'.
@Joe Dick You certainly are a dick... your name suits you well.
@@ladyfoxwf1075 exactly what I was gonna say xD
This adolescent rivalry between Mary and Edith was everything. Honestly, the show would be a bore if they weren't like that.
Mary is an absolutely dreadful person. Ruthless and cruel to the bone. 😮
Mary did it to her self
"It sinks in and spoils the effect." I always laugh @ 2:56. The actor and actress who play Marry and Mathew almost look like they are laughing out of character.
M-a-r-y
Mary always got ENTIRELY too much screen time for my tastes in the show.
As the eldest daughter in the family it's only to be expected. The fate of the estate is surrounded by the fact that she's a woman and how her father doesn't have a sense of business in his bones. When Cora called him foolish for investing so much into a single enterprise is worse than trying to cash in tin for silver. Add to it Lady Mary's snobby attitude, by being the eldest and thinking the whole of Europe should revolve around her.
Well, the point is she is supposed to go from bad and immature to mature and understanding over the course of the show. It's up to each viewer to judge if she made the change successfully.
I agree they gave her too much air time. It got boring watching her be such a brat.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion; but I can’t stand Mary. Sybil was the best of the sisters and early on Edith wasn’t great either but Mary always had a viciousness about her that lasted. And after the war Edith softened and became more kind and Mary took every opportunity to hurt her especially with the whole Bertie/Marigold thing. I never understood why people rooted for her.
I absolutely agree! I always found Mary to be mean-spirited, vain, arrogant, and down right nasty! Was so pleased when Bertie became the Marquis, and Edith outranked Mary 😁
I would say: most people do agree with that assessment
It almost looks like the actors who play Matthew and Mary break character when Sir Anthony gets a bite of salt. That laughing looks very real.
Everybody is tired of Mary. Cruel, cruel Mary.
Of course, Edith was equally vengeful in the early seasons. Edith was willing to put her family to shame by exposing the story of Pamuk's death - which of course didn't just include Mary, but also her own mother and maid. Her motivation was solely to hurt Mary. Of course, everyone including myself came to love and root for Edith because she became much kinder and caring after her experience during the war; she was a good person but Season 1 showed how the sisters brought out the worst in each other.
For real though, did we ever see that cat again? 😂
IT MUST HAVE BEEN THAT DAISY.
Keep up the great clips! :)
Edith broke the rules by speaking across the table - but she was congratulated for it rather than criticized
Was this a rule? Oh!
@@rc1982 No, it wasn’t. It was mostly done to the persons at your side but no rule ever forbid you to have a short dialog with the guests on other side of the table.
Poor lady between the sisters, she had nothing to say...
Mary deserves way less !!
Awww I always wondered why there was a cat in the kitchen and they let it in but it’s cute that they have a stable cat to kill the mice but it sneaks into the kitchen for snacks anyway and they do feed it probably 😂
If you feed a cat it won't kill mice
@@SSs-ch4ey even domestic cats want to kill everything they play with. That’s why they bring back dead bodies for you. Even if they’re well fed. They’re opportunistic predators. They’ll always want to kill something in a way. Seriously or not
@@KoiYakultGreenTea well then my cat is defective because she ignores the mice in my house
@@SSs-ch4ey her instinct is gone unfortunately
Geez, Daisy didn't do anything wrong
Carson is too pure
Well Edith was right, Mary couldn't take every prize.
Who did Edith marry in the end and was it a love match? I never the ending. Thank you.
@@patsyhodge9071 in this scene she was right, because when Matthew saw Mary flirting with Ser Anthony she alienated him and then Mary acted all shocked when he walked away from her. So Edith was right, Mary couldn't have both.
@@patsyhodge9071
Edith married a marquis. It was a love match. Mary tried to ruin it as Edith will be on a higher rank than her.
Edith also had her own Empire as she inherits the publication house from Gregson.
@@vijithadsan8169 thank you
Imagine if a cooked chicken has fallen on top of unswept floor with few droppings from mouse or mice.
🤮
*2:57** GOOD GOD ! 😅😂*
One of the best scenes in the whole series! LOL
Take it back now ya'll
6:30 LOL!
Mary always been nasty, it’s amazing how many seasons and never felt bad for her...
What is it with Mary turning her own sense off every time Edith is concerned?! It's like Edith is Mary's kryptonite.
Mary becomes all emotion and instinct but zero logic!!
In Brazil we never had such a thing.
The family inheritance has always been equally divided between male and female heirs. And we were a monarchy during the XIX century...The law has always differentiated the title and the properties. The firstborn male inherited the title but the properties were divided equally among the heirs.
That's how you end up with dirt-poor dukes
@@SSs-ch4ey
Barons
And then after a few generations the heir is the heir of nothing. Good idea.
@@fan2jnrc
Yeah, if he couldn't manage what he inherited, his share of the inheritance. The legislation on stock companies arrived in Brazil at the end of 19th century precisely to help organized the inheritance of landlords families. Those aristocratic families created companies, banks in general, and they put all their assets, money and lands under the ownership of these companies. The inheritance was distributed as shares of the family company. The law restricted company's equity liability depending on the regime choosed by the company. The Almeida Prado family from São Paulo was an aristocratic family of coffee planters. They created a bank with family assets over 100 years ago. They still partners of many of the most important companies in the country.
Does anyone know from which episode Matthew on the thumbnail is? I want to use the screenshot as a drawing reference 😍
I’m sorry if this makes me sound completely coldhearted, but whenever I see this scene when Mrs. Patmoore starts crying after the dinner it always makes me laugh!🤣🥹
Dan Stevens reminds me so much of Cary Elwes.
Nah
They need the singing narrator from There's Something About Mary to explain the scene from a distance.
LOL
Poor Matthew...
1:40 Lady Mary's hilarious facial expression
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. “What are you talking about?” Nvm lol
Never liked Marry, my favourites were Sybil and Edith
Edith was a more kinder and a loyal soul than Marry. She hated being mean and manipulative and that is precisely why Edith was tactless and always loosing in manipulation games to Marry.
Of course, she was equally vengeful in the early seasons. Edith was willing to put her family to shame by exposing the story of Pamuk's death - which of course didn't just include Mary, but also her own mother and maid.

High pressure kitchen at downton
I love where Cora says, "Bring cheese, fruit, anything to get rid of this taste!"
Mary really is the foulest of the bunch.
She could certainly be a stone hearted bitch when she felt like it.
@@nina1522 💯💯💯
That's unfair. She's the most considerate to her father and she's also under the most pressure being the first-born.
@@realniggashit3 THIS.
Gerard Collins really? Edith could be just as horrible, she just wasn’t as good at it.
Honestly ppl say Mary wasnt so bad but she really is bullying Edith unprovoked here.
The vitriol between these two sisters.. it bordered on the absurd and frankly I had a laugh and heartily when she issued the challenge! It was comic relief more often than not Imo 😂
Poor Mrs. Patmore
I’d love to see a kardashian- downtown abbey hybrid parody. Two dramatic shows, one classy and one trashy. That shit would be hilarious
Kardashians? I think it'd be terrible.
Mary and Edith = Kim and Kourtney
Mrs Patmore gave me high blood pressure
LOOOLLLL🤣
Ok, could anyone understand what Sir Anthony said at 3:03? It's been driving me nuts since I first saw this clip.
"I do apologize, Lady Grantham. I had a mouthful of salt."
i forgot about this scene. it made me so mad. I knew something would happen between Matthew and Mary eventually, but she was so childish when it came to him. I’m glad she improved at least a bit by the end of the series. Poor Matthew, though.
5:51 Anyone else find it funny how she says "Booby"? LOL
Old Chinese proverb: Chase two rabbits, lose them both.
I know Mary wasn't interested in Sir Antony but had she been....I can say from experience, it's pretty fun to catch both rabbits as long as each knows he's not the only one.
my mum always used to say someone standing on two chairs will fall between them :)
I dont understand why Edith never told Mary she knew about Mr. Pamuk. She got confirmation about it a few hours earlier! Why not use that to make Mary stop bullying her? I really don't understand. Edith wasn't afraid of conflict. She always confronted or reprimanded Mary. Edith had the biggest weapon and never used it (correctly) 😒
Mary"s character is so disgusting and if it hadnt been ridiculous too it might have made an impression how vain and catty she is!
How is Edith any less vain and catty than Mary? They both behaved badly...and in this scene, Edith started it. Mary simply made a joke at Sir Anthony's expense (not Edith's) that caused the room to laugh. Had Edith not taken it personally and sniped at her, the whole thing would have never happened.
@@cheetahinireland18 Maybe MAry shouldn't be making bitchy remarks about other people.
@@cheetahinireland18 Mary didn´t make anyone laught. Her own mother reprimanded her because she was been unpolite and rude to a guest. And later she decided not only to hurt her sister, but sir Anthony aswell, who never did anything against Mary herself
Nesseire did you even watch the clip? You can clearly hear the women laughing! They focus on Sybil, who stifles her laugh with her hand. Honestly, you can disagree with my opinion, but that people laughed at Mary’s joke was clearly presented...making things up doesn’t better your point.
Daes Gatling lol okay...but just so you know, if you are going to be furious with every tv character that makes a bitchy remark, you’re not going to enjoy much tv. And Edith made bitchy remarks all the time! They both have good and bad qualities...people get weirdly pissy about Mary for whatever reason.
Женщины жутко красивы в своих нарядах! 👍💞
Lol 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I’ve listened to it about 3 times but can anyone tell me what he say while choking? “I asked for no salt” I just can’t understand it
"Good God! I do apologize, Lady Grantham...I had a mouthful of salt!" - Sir Anthony
Funny how they basically repeated Marsha-Jan and DJ-Stephanie relationships for Mary-Edith.
Thumbs up if you get the references. 😆
Shows my age 😂
Poor Edith! Matthew No interest at all!....She was too DESPERATE to please!
What does he say at 3:02?
Anaisa Erksen “I had a mouthful of salt”
@@irocaboca Thank you. I played it over and over and just couldn't get it.
Anaisa Erksen Mrs. Patmore thought she was sprinkling sugar on the dessert, but it was salt.
I tried confessing to a girl whom im friends with. I thought we had a bond, but then gives me the friendzone talk laughing it off rejecting me welst talking about another guy shes interested in, yet she keeps me as a shoulder to cry on.
Well im pulling a Matthew and walking away moving on, but Lord Granthams quote 7:34
"She thinks if you put a toy down it'll still be sitting there when you want to play with it again"
Keeps repeating in my head.
I can see why Mrs. Patmore is upset. Ruining a pudding is a major tragedy right up there with the sinking of the Titanic. And I bet it WAS that Daisy! And you would have thought Sir Antony put arsenic, not salt, in his mouth. And Cora is SO sorry!
It was a very salty thing. Mrs. Patmore unknowingly applied it like sugar on the cake (or whatever it was) so there was a lot of salt, so Sir Anthony expecting a large sweet bite, was understandably very shocked.
It WASN'T Daisy. Did you even watch the entire clip?
Good God, Sir Anthony is SUCH a drama queen ...
How? He choked a bit, apologized, and then settled down.
I'm confused what age these three sisters are?
Mary was 21, Edith 20 and Sybil was 16 but turned 17 in season one. :)
Sempre bellissimi Mery e metiw

I LOVE SASSY MARY 😂
I hate her 🙈
Mary was treating Matthew like a toy I dont undestand why he marry her at the final...
Just because Mary started the rivalry on the show, does not mean she started it. We have no idea what their childhoods were like. I think I would like to write a story about that one day. I've never written a "fanfiction" before, but this show is so well done, it would be a shame to miss out on a prequel. I think it would be very interesting to see where it all started.
I think it's just more of a sibling dynamic thing. I'm the oldest out of me and my 2 siblings. Me and my brother who's the middle didn't get along very well, he was always a bit of a bully. Of course as adults we are different but growing up and even into earlier adulthood we had tension and didn't enjoy each other's company all that much. On the other hand my youngest sibling is the one I got along with the best and such. Maybe it's the whole older sibling protecting the baby of the family which seems to be pretty typical of a 3 child household. I think Edith and Mary have always been a bit indifferent and it makes for a lot of tension and annoyance for once another. I've never seen Mary really be cruel to Sybil the entire show. Maybe because Sybil is confident and is also someone who Mary maybe wishes she could be more like, progressive, open minded and motivated. Even when Mary catches Sybil and Tom being flirty she doesn't seem at all vicious enough to rat them out to their father, though she does tell Sybil to not make a hasty or do anything drastic more so out of genuine concern that Mary has for Sybil. Edith does tend to mope around a lot and kind of casts a bit of a "woe is me" demeanor at times.
I believe Edith may have started in a natural childish way. Mary must have been constantly praised by her beauty growing up whereas Edith was not. At one point, Edith must have had enough and started with the snide remarks. Now, Mary, as the oldest and the "superior" one, should have seen it for what it was: insecurity from Edith. But I can imagine Mary did not take lightly to her youger, plainer sister trying to undermine her and really stepped up a few notches in the snarkiness of it all. Edith started, Mary consolidated it.
Mary could be a right pain it the ****
