Mr. Carson overhears the news of Lord Grantham's della Francesca painting selling "amazingly well" and takes advantage of this news to hire a new footman. Thomas Barrow asks Mr. Carson to hire Andrew for the job as footman. Mr. Carson had expressed doubts about Andrew's suitability to fill the new footman post (because of the gambling-club incident), but Elsie Hughes, Barrow, and Daisy Mason urged him to give the Andrew a second chance.
