　　[EXT. COURTYARD - DAY]

　　[Thomas walks to Downton. O'Brien meets him in the courtyard as he smokes.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　So it is you. Ethel thought I must have a soldier fancy¹ man.

　　THOMAS

　　She the new maid?

　　O'BRIEN

　　Yes. She's a soppy sort. So, tell me, was Dr Clarkson thrilled to have your services?

　　THOMAS

　　It's Major Clarkson now, but yes. I don't know how you did it.

　　[O'Brien smiles.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　What about your blighty?

　　[She nods to his hand. He pulls off the glove, showing how it was maimed by the bullet².] O'BRIEN

　　My god.

　　THOMAS

　　It's not so bad. And it lived up to its name and got me home.

　　O'BRIEN

　　You better come inside.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　THOMAS

　　Where's William?

　　DAISY

　　Training for the army.

　　THOMAS

　　I thought he might've died for love of you.

　　DAISY

　　Don't be nasty³, not as soon as you're back.

　　THOMAS

　　Imagine Carson without a footman. Like a ringmaster without a pony⁴.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　We'll have none of your cheek, thank you, Thomas.

　　THOMAS

　　I'm very sorry, Mrs Hughes, but I'm not a servant anymore. I take my orders from Major Clarkson. Who's this.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Ethel, the new maid I told you.

　　ETHEL

　　When I saw you out there I didn't realise I was dealing⁵ with an ex-footman.

　　THOMAS

　　I'm the one that got away.

　　ETHEL

　　Gives hope to us all.

　　[Carson enters.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Ethel? Get ready to help with the luggage, they're nearly back with Sir Richard.

　　O'BRIEN

　　We've got a visitor, Mr Carson.

　　MR CARSON

　　I've seen him.

　　[Carson never bothers to look at Thomas and exits.]

　　THOMAS

　　Where's Mr Bates?

　　O'BRIEN

　　Gone. Replaced by Mr Lang.

　　THOMAS

　　So not all the changes were bad.

　　[Anna ignores him and continues her sewing.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[Branson drives the car up to the front door and Sir Richard Carlisle gets out and greets Cora.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Hello.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　We're so pleased to have you here, Sir Richard.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Lady Grantham.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Welcome.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Thank you.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I hope the train wasn't too tiring.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　Hello, Mary.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Not a bit. No, I got a lot done.

　　LADY MARY

　　Hello Aunt Rosamund.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　Brother, dear.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　How are you?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Lovely to see you Rosamund.

　　[The family goes inside while Branson talks with Sir Richard's servants.]

　　LADY MARY

　　He's nice, isn't he?

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　To be honest, he spent the entire journey reading his own papers. But I'm sure I'll love him dearly if he'll ever look up from a page.

　　[Rosamund and Mary enter the house. Cora comes out for a moment.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Branson, when you've finished unloading⁶, run down to the hospital and remind Lady Sybil that we expect her here for dinner. And tell her I mean it. Really. They're working her like a pack horse in a mine.

　　[Cora turns to go.]

　　BRANSON

　　I think she enjoys it, though.

　　[Cora stops and turns around to put him in his place.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Please tell her to come home in time to change.

　　[Branson nods grimly⁷ and returns to the car.]

　　INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL - DAY]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I can't possibly come! Really, Mama is incorrigible⁸!

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　It's not poor Branson's fault.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　But what is the point of Mama's soirees? What are they for?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Well, I'm going out for dinner tonight and I'm glad. Is that wrong?

　　[Thomas walks in with some blankets.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Thomas, you can cover for Nurse Crawley, can't you?

　　THOMAS

　　I can.

　　[Thomas starts making up a bed and Branson approaches him.]

　　BRANSON

　　So you're back, then. Safe and sound.

　　THOMAS

　　That's not how I'd put it with my hand the way it is, but yes. Major Clarkson's found me a place and I'm grateful.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Can you give Lieutenant⁹ Courtenay his pills?

　　THOMAS

　　Of course I can. I'd be glad to.

　　[We see Lt. Courtenay sitting in a bed with his eyes covered in bandages.]
