Primary Content Rachel - Longtime Downton Fan My reaction to these episodes is the same as Lady Mary’s during the dress show: Yummy! But it’s not just the excellent fashion (which it always is on  Downton Abbey, but a 1920s fashion show only heightens the sartorial appeal), it’s the intrigue. It’s the new loves, broken hearts, and a world that keeps on going into a new, uncertain future that various members of the household, both upstairs and down, either decide to embrace or resist.
