Set in Autumn 1920. Tom decides to name his daughter Sybil and wants to baptize her a Catholic, like himself, and Robert is firmly opposed to both decisions. However, Mary and the rest of the family defend Tom's decision. Tom's brother Kieran visits Downton. To repair Cora and Robert's marriage, Violet pressures Dr Clarkson into going back on his assertion that Sybil had a slim chance of living if she underwent a C-section. He tells Cora and Robert that Sybil would have surely died either way, and Cora forgives Robert. Anna finds evidence that may prove Bates innocent, but another prisoner threatens his chances of freedom. After Bates threatens the inmate, Murray, the local solicitor, is able to get Bates a release date. Daisy is upset that Alfred is paying a lot of attention to Ivy. Ethel prepares a luncheon for the Crawley women and gets Mrs Patmore to help. When Robert finds out about the luncheon, he is outraged that Isobel would let a former prostitute serve lunch to his family. However, Cora and the women ignore his protests. Tom's daughter is baptized Catholic, and her father names Mary and Kieran her godparents.
