***SPOILERS***Downton Abbey series three, episode five: preview pictures and predictions (RADIO TIMES)

Last week's episode of Downton Abbey certainly brought with it a fair amount of new plot twists.
Edith seemed to have made her peace with being jilted at the altar and turned her attention to universal suffrage, even getting a letter published in The Times (much to Carson's alarm).
Mary told Matthew, rather sharply, to "pull your weight" around the estate so he delved into the inner workings of Downton only to find out that the Abbey is being "mismanaged". A lot of macho eyebrow-raising followed, so it's only a matter of time before the new masters of the house come to blows...
Meanwhile, Ethel and her heartbreaking storyline were back, leaving plenty of viewers in need of a tissue when she gave away her (incredibly cute) little boy.
But the biggest story of the week was Branson getting caught up in an Irish rebel plot. The ex-chauffeur arrived on Downton's doorstep alone on a rainy night without pregnant Sybil, whom he had left behind to fend for herself. The revelation provoked an angry Earl to yell "Go to bed!" before later revealing that if Branson ever set foot on Irish soil again he would be arrested by the authorities.
Meanwhile, there was a post-related fiasco. Bates wasn't writing to Anna but it turned out in the end that he wasn't receiving her letters either. What a kerfuffle! And new footman Jimmy sent all the maids' - as well as Thomas's - hearts a-flutter, while new kitchen maid Ivy put Daisy's back up when she seemed to attract Alfred's attention...
So what's next? We've got pictures of the drama to come this Sunday, so as usual we've made some spurious predictions...
