Cora’s crazy eyes give me the chills.

…and now Branson gets angry, and defensive. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS EP???

The very first appearance of the ping-pong table.

The long camera movements, running the length of the ground floor: beauty itself.

“My lips are sealed.” - priceless little gesture.

Elsie to the rescue! I love it when she lets the more emotional side of her personality take over.

Robert and Charles conspiring in the bedroom. So many ideas, so little time…

Again with the defensiveness. Get off Isobel’s back, everyone.

I love it when Mary gets all perceptive.

Lavinia Swire battles the Scilla and Harybdis, aka. Violet and Rosamund. Keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Everyone is so defensive is this episode… why?

Don’t get all defensive, Edith. Sybil doesn’t mean you any harm.

Anna Smith Investigates! Hell yeah!

Look how everyone looks to Elsie first for help/opinion/approval. Well done, all.

And she’s being motherly to Branson, again, in just one look. So much love for the two of them.

Mary’s epic eyebrows are epic. As are Violet’s chuckles.
