letter written from Lavinia's father. Matthew fears that Lavinia would have told her father that he was not the honourable man he thought he was when he decided on him as an heir. Sneaky Lady Mary opens and reads the letter behind his back. Eager to prove to Matthew that the letter was from Lavinia, and not as Matthew suspects forged by herself, Lady Mary heads to the servant's quarters. It turns out that the letter from Lavinia was posted by Daisy on the day that she died. This leaves Matthew with no more excuses not to accept the inheritance. The day of the wedding is here. But disaster strikes as poor Lady Edith is jilted at the altar by Sir Anthony who proclaims he is too old and that he doesn't want Edith to waste her life on him. She flees from the church dramatically, throws her veil from the balcony of the abbey and locks herself away in her room resigning herself to spinsterhood. At least one thing positive comes out of the wedding day- Downton is saved! Matthew offers up his inheritance to Lord Grantham, but only on Lord Grantham's condition that he now becomes joint master of Downton Abbey. Throughout this episode Mrs Hughes has been treated by everyone at Downton as though she is about to drop down dead at any moment. She finally finds out her test results at the end of the episode and they are all clear. No cancer, hurrah! Carson greets
