"There's worse crimes on earth than loyalty." Quite right Mrs. Byrd, quite right.

I love how Mrs. Bird responded with such grace & patience towards Daisy. She even suspected Daisy was up to something & still ultimately handled the situation with tenderness. Such a contrast to Mrs. Patmore! Mrs. Bird later uses her own money to feed struggling soldiers. Mrs. Patmore tries to catch her out then, too, but learns Mrs. Bird is doing something good instead. At least Mrs. Patmore redeems herself by joining her efforts. Would've liked to have seen more of Mrs. Bird. Such a lovely character!

That's true! I had forgotten how she behaved towards Ethel. I think her response to that situation probably had more to do with how she viewed Ethel's behavior. Daisy was acting out of loyalty to Mrs. Patmore. The soldiers had served their king & country & been injured, which caused their need. But Ethel had chosen the affair that resulted in the child she couldn't care for, which in turn resulted in her turning to prostitution to survive. Mrs. Bird was responding to the moral standards of the era that were broken by Ethel's choice.

@@davidthaler7018 I can't tell if you are serious or not. What does that have to do with how Mrs. Bird viewed the situation? She wouldn't have cared who fathered the child, only that Ethel was not married to the father prior to conception, and that Ethel chose prostitution to provide for him. Women were held to a stricter moral standard than men then. Fair or not, that's the way it was.

Mrs Patmore really shouldn't have suggested this in the first place! 😂But Daisy's loyalty is touching, & Mrs Byrd was a very good sport 😊

Daisy a simple soul. Mrs Patmore is somewhat of a basket case but they’re both lovely people and hilarious

I’ve always wondered why Daisy didn’t just put extra salt in the food, but she is known for extremes

I love everyone laugh when Daisy said what she plan to do with the beef stew.XD

This is the very best instance of cry acting in anything ever. Poor Daisy. You just instantly wanna hug her.

Mrs. Bird could have been harsh to Daisy but instead was kind and forgiving. Lovely way to handle it.

Mrs Bird was such an amazing character. Caring, firm, understanding, and sharp as a tac. She was one of my favorites, she will be missed.

Daisy and Mrs. Patmore's bond is one of the purest in the show!...It gets only more strong as the series progresses...I love these 2!

Mrs Bird handled that very well.

"At least we'd have all been regular." Baaahahahaha

It made my heart skip a little the Crawley's did things like this for their staff. Paying for Mrs. Patmore's surgery, lying to the cops for Thomas, fighting to get Mr. Bates out of prision, becoming family with Tom Branson.... it gave me some hope for humanity.

Daisy Puts Soap in the Soup and the small quartet which was present aptly played "I'm forever blowing bubbles" 😂

There are moments in this series that really hit you.

When Daisy started to cry, it was heartbreaking all the emotions across her face.

Robert sat with her to put her at ease. So he would not be looming over her.

You would be to for a woman of her age and time period and position. Being a domestic servant was a lifelong commitment. Until you've become surplus to requirement. Mrs. Patmore didn't really realize the family wanted her to stay. Finding a new maid is easy, replacing your cook not so much. Especially for an estate such as Downton Abbey, with a reputation for having the Best of the Best.

Can we please have NO MORE SCENES of Daisy crying, because my heart can't take it 💔😭

3:43 The others at the table are sitting uncomfortably with their heads down, especially Rose Leslie who had the same pose seasons later when she returned and dined upstairs. Actors who aren't the focus of attention in a scene are supposed to maintain stillness so as not to be distracting from the main action. I love the fact that in this scene, it also contributes and demonstrates the rigid rules they were all under not to be impolite and to avoid any unpleasantness at almost all costs. When the other cook bangs the table, Bates winces not just from the noise but also his expression shows a dismay that such...emotion is being demonstrated and was sadly necessary.

Daisy is my absolute favorite 🤣
