I think it's 1923 now... they said 8 months had passed from the last ep and she had said she had indicated she was about 5 months along in the last ep so wherever we were in 1922 in the last ep we surely have crossed into 1923 by now...

Good call on the Nazi camp - I didn't think about that at all! That would definitely make for a possible explanation for Gregson's disappearance - but is he Jewish? Did they imprison anyone who wasn't in those days?

I still don't get why Edith hasn't just told her parents rather than hide the kid in plain sight. Surely at some point that child is going to resemble her or something and people will begin to wonder just what she got up to during her continental holiday with Aunt Rosamund. The family is oddly progressive for the times in many ways (save for maybe stick-in-the-mud Robert) so I would bet they'd accept the child and figure out a way to keep her and not have Edith be shamed for it in some way - but she's got to tell them first. And no way she can live with her daughter so close but not with her; it will continue to eat at her the same way it did to give her away to the Swiss couple.

You've reaffirmed my faith in Bates. I've suspected it's all a ruse to make us think he's capable of killing a man - and though I do think in many ways he is, I still think he'd much rather beat his wife's rapist to a pulp or strangle him with his bare hands than just push him in the way of a truck.

Moseley and Baxter are cute together. Reminds me a little of Bates and Anna in the early days.

They spent a lot of time on Cora's brother Harold, didn't they?! Paul Giamatti's a great actor and I did enjoy him in the role and at least he didn't feel wasted the way Shirley MacLaine does every time she's there. I wouldn't mind a return visit from Harold in the future, but I think next time maybe they can give him more to do with the actual family... Side note - why were Martha and Harold invited to Rose's coming out party but Rose's own parents weren't present for it? I know her mother could care less about her, but surely her father would have wanted to be there, right?!

Maybe Rose's parents couldn't leave India? Not sure why they didn't come and be presented in court.

I hope Moseley and Baxter tie the knot. She is good for him and visa versa.

The Nazi's put Jews in the camps along with any dissident the comment made by Edith was the " boys in brown " were saying things he didn't like. They put many people in the camps beside the Jews. Horrible.

I want Mary and Blake to tie the know next year................

I just love this show! It is one of my favorites. My favorite is Bates and Anna.

Thanks for that clarification MDN, now I think you're 100% right on the Nazi concentration camp scenario. Chances are then that Gregson's going to be found alive and return to Edith in the next season. I can't imagine them leaving it open ended like that just to have him wind up dead.

Moseley and Baxter are cute together, but I have a feeling they will go slower with any possible relationship between the two than they did with Bates and Anna.

Paulina, how did you feel about Anna's rape storyline (we had a bit of a back and forth here earlier in the season about it) and do you think Bates killed Green or no?

I was disgusted with her rapist. I didn't like how she held it all in to herself, but understand why because of Bates getting hanged if he does anything.
They are certainly making Bates look guilty aren't they? And after episode 8 even more so. It seems like something he would do to me. We will see. I just hope he doesn't get caught.

They did make Bates look guilty, but that's why I think he isn't. I think they want us to wonder like Mary and Mrs. Hughes about whether he is capable and if so, is it justified and all that. When Vera was found dead and Bates was blamed, no one in the house (save for maybe Thomas) believed he would be capable of doing such a thing, but now that two suspicious deaths can connect to him, it makes you rethink the question. The problem with that though is that it makes us question a loved character as being less than moral and good and paints him in a not so pretty light. I'm not sure it's good to make Bates seem like he's got a sinister side.
