How can we bring ourselves to say goodbye? In one last visit to our beloved Abbey, things are changing with the times (how astonishing!), and some people are dealing with it better than others (what a shock!).
Retirement, pregnancy, divorce, organizing the county show… just about every major life milestone is happening to one of our favorite characters.
Will Daisy pull off her first big dinner as the head cook? Will Edith keep from fainting the first time Mary asks her for sisterly advice? Will Mary survive scandal and FINALLY take her place leading the estate? Will the estate itself endure???
Call up your most fabulous gay playwright friend, prep a pitcher of Old-Fashioneds, and don your best tiara for a final farewell to the most glittering jewel in Julian Fellowes' crown, our dear Downton Abbey.

[110] THE GILDED AGE S03 E05-08 ~ Bullets and Ballgowns
Another season of The Gilded Age has ended, and the frocks are more shocking than the bullets. As episodes build to the climactic end-of-season balls, we see the power shifts fracture the old ways, inviting in bold new energy. Even divorcees and suffragists are welcome on the dance floor!
Join us as we break down Episodes 5-8 of Season 3:
Gladys & Bertha fight a second revolutionary war at the Dukedom’s dinner table (hint: come at seven, wear the biggest tiara you own, and be prepared cut your opponent with sharp words); Peggy triumphs in dance-floor romance and in her career; and Ada takes her seat at the head of the table.
Then there’s that other war: Mrs Scott vs Mrs Kirkland in the dressmaker's fitting room (come at noon, try on your gorgeous gowns, and prepare to throw your sickest burns).
We cheer for both young Jack (or as Agnes calls him ‘a Rockefeller in livery’), and Oscar, who movingly mourns John while growing an inspired beard. And we grumble about the men who are making a mountain out of a molehill (ahem, Railroad Daddy).
BONUS: More Downton Abbey callbacks than there are diamonds around Mrs Astor’s neck!
So drape yourself in your jewels, sip delicately at your champagne, and enjoy the podcast!
And tune in for our Downton Abbey film podcast in September! (sniff, sniff) as we say goodbye to Downton!
