I still don't think he would give M/M the baby. I think what we got was a lot of different concerns and scenarios being thrown out there for examination: maybe he should leave the baby there, but he wouldn't ever be separated from her, does he belong at Downton or maybe on a farm nearby, how will you influence the baby's upbringing when he's the father, etc. etc. And of course M/M holding her.
But M/M holding her doesn't negate what he said about not being separated from her. He stayed at Downton for Sybil, he would stay for the baby, even if it meant giving up his other dreams. I think it tell us they will be her godparents or "second parents", not adopt her or take her away from him. Unless he dies, in which case, yes. I imagine they are going to find a way to coexist. |

And probably at Mrs. Patmore's aversion to frolicking as well. I'll have to rewatch, and see what other gems i've forgotten. I also liked Anna's shout out to William. And in answer to bijou156 Left-footer is a slightly derogatory term for a Catholic. Not sure of its origin. Though interestingly, in some areas of predominatly Catholic Ireland, it is also used as a derogatory term for Protestants. Equal opportunity bigotry! And Violet was defending Catholics. The Dukes of Norfolk, the Howards, remained Catholic, and Violet said that the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk was one of her oldest friends. (These would be the same Howards who may have had Branson connections in Cork that Violet was planning to hitch Tom onto as she and Robert walked away from Lavinia's funeral.) Sorry for reposting |

I think if they'd wanted M/M to have the baby, they would have made Tom be angry at her for "killing" Sybil. That would have been an easy enough way.
However much people want M/M to get that baby (grumble grumble), Tom is going to stay at Downton one way or another, or they wouldn't have had to kill of Sybil just to keep him on the show. __________________

I really have serious doubts whether JF cares about Tom that much.
But I'm sure that Sybbie won't be given to MM unless Tom's dead. The scene with BB and M/M may be only a foreshadowing for their own child or making Mary more and more accustomed to the thought of becoming a mother. __________________

In reply to Scarlet, I actually don't why the adverts were gone. I was actually surprised because the adverts always stop and start which turns into about 10 minutes of misery. I'm sure it was a glitch but in a good way for a change. I was watching it about 5:35 eastern standard time in the US in the state of Virginia.

I don't see foreshadowing in everything to be honest, I know most people do though with this show.
I thought the scene was merely to show 1. the support M/M are giving Tom, and 2. how desperately M/M want a child and what a strain it puts on them that they haven't been able to conceive. __________________
