Tom left Downton in season 3, but they found a way to bring him back, so I'm hopeful, even if it is a recycled bit of plot: he goes to the U.S., gets caught up in some current event, and flees back to Downton for safety. Maybe it's political or maybe he just runs into trouble getting bootlegged whiskey from the Irish mob in Boston. Let's just hope he doesn't get a head start and have Sybbie follow him alone!
I would be extremely upset with the writers if they repeat history with Tom being forced back to Downton due to being with the wrong people in the wrong place at the wrong time. I do not believe Tom would be willing to get involved with those kind of people again, as he would not want to be exiled again. And as for Sybbie, he would not have her follow him, he would take her with him no matter what. He would have to be really foolish to make the same mistakes twice; he's smarter than that.
