 Set in May, June or July[1]: As the episode opens, the family and staff of Downton are preparing for Edith's wedding. Edith is delighted that finally something in this house is for her.

Thomas tricks Molesely into telling Cora that O'Brien is leaving. The misunderstanding is eventually resolved, but the feud between O'Brien and Thomas has escalated.

Carson overhears Mrs. Patmore and Mrs. Hughes talking and realizes Mrs. Hughes may be ill. Carson talks to Mrs. Patmore as if he knows the situation, causing her to confirm the possibility of cancer.

The family decide to visit a property they own and where they might live after leaving Downton. On that morning Matthew receives a visit from the attorney handling Reggie Swire's estate, confirming that he is the heir and giving him a letter from Swire. Matthew shares this information with Mary during the outing and indicates that he will not read the letter. Later, Mary reads it and finds that Swire knew that Matthew did not love Lavinia and left him the money regardless. Once Mary confirms that Lavinia sent a letter just before she died Matthew agrees to accept the inheritance and save Downton.

Edith and Sir Anthony's wedding begins, but Sir Anthony interrupts to say that he can't go through with it. He leaves, the Crawleys return home and Edith goes to her room. Even though she fails to come down for dinner, the staff is instructed to remove all evidence of the wedding decorations and food. The next morning Anna wakens Edith and offers to bring her breakfast. Edith refuses and gets out of bed, saying she's a spinster and spinsters get up for breakfast.

Mrs. Hughes visits the doctor to receive her test results. When she and Mrs. Patmore return, she sends Mrs. Patmore to give the very worried Carson the good news that she does not have cancer. Carson, relieved, returns to work singing happily.
