[EXT. Sybil? Evelyn Napier: It seems to have come from the Turkish Embassy, from the ambassador himself, in fact, and his wife. DOWNTON, SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - DAY]
Mrs Hughes: I love the thought of a baby in the house, but if it's a boy...
Mr Carson: It'll be very hard on Mr Crawley. Lady Rosamund: Exactly. Regimental silver? Violet, Countess of Grantham: Sir Anthony Strallan was at Lady Wren's party. Now, don't let Mary wait for the baby before she gives Matthew her answer. Miss O'Brien: And we thought the assassination of an archduke was a surprise. I will respect that. Matthew Crawley: Mother! [Edith leaves and Mary is shocked by her words.] Mary is behind her.] He told me he'd ask it at the garden party, and he hopes I'll say yes. You stay with us. As a housemaid. Lady Sybil: Gwen, take Mr Bromidge to the library. She's being interviewed. A telephone is not a toy, but a useful and valuable tool. Now, we need to talk about the garden party. He picks up the earpiece correctly and speaks into the phone.] Anna: While I was in London, I learned something about Mr Bates. A second bar of soap is next to it, but she leaves it there and hands Cora the soap.] [O'Brien moves the soap with her foot so it's not under the bath.] Lady Mary's with her now. [Thomas nods and leaves. I'm a secretary! He thinks for a moment and is about to leave when Mrs Hughes addresses him.] Lady Mary: I wonder where she is. For the army medical corps. Lady Edith: But...

Tensions abound following the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria . The family returns from London after Sybil's debutante ball but Mary stays with her aunt, Lady Rosamund Painswick. Cora discovers that she is pregnant making Matthew's inheritance of the estate uncertain should the baby be a boy. Mary learns from Evelyn Napier that it was Edith, not he, who originated the rumours about her and Pamuk. Through Mrs. O'Brien, Carson discovers that while Bates was a soldier, he stole the regimental silver, but after speaking with his mother, Anna learns that it was in fact his wife that stole the silver. Matthew is angered by Mary's hesitancy now that he may not inherit Downton. Anticipating the war, Thomas finds a non-combatant role in the Army Medical Corps. Mary confronts Edith about revealing her secret, implying that she will exact revenge. Learning that Sir Anthony Strallan intends to propose at the garden party, Mary makes him think Edith finds him old and boring, so he leaves. O'Brien thinks Cora intends to replace her and leaves a bar of soap below her bath tub. She regrets it but is unable to warn Cora before she slips, falls, and miscarries. A telephone is installed at Downton, giving Lady Sybil an opportunity to arrange a job interview for housemaid Gwen as a secretary for the phone company. Mary is prepared to marry Matthew but he doubts her motives and intends to leave Downton. During the garden party, Lord Grantham receives a telegram saying the United Kingdom is at war with Germany, marking the beginning of the First World War .
