I find it bizarre that Cora was totally okay with the loss of Downton's money, seeing as how the threat of losing the Abbey was her driving force in the first season, while Robert was all, "Eh, what can you do?" then and now is all "Omigawd! The moooonnneeeeeeey!" Inconsistent writing on Fellowes' part.

Yes, I thought there were some turnabouts in some of the players too. Last year I thought that Mrs. O'Brien was a bit of a villainess, but this year she doesn't seem that way. She did a good turn when she hid the shirts.
