Many years ago, the final Harry Potter book came out, after much anticipation. I had pre-ordered it from Amazon, but then realized that my postman probably wouldn't deliver it until 2pm, which absolutely would not do. (I didn't need it at midnight, but I *did* need it at 10am.) So I got in the car and drove to Barnes & Noble and waited in a very long line and made friends with a totally charming nine-year-old boy, and drove home, and sat on my sofa and opened the book and burst into tears at the *dedication.* And that is how I knew I would be crying throughout that book. You may be wondering where I am going with this: The instant the *Downton* theme song kicked in, I started to cry.

So just be aware of how this is going to go. Although I mostly held it together until...okay, not really that long. Who am I kidding?

Before we get into the plot, I'd very *very* much like to thank everyone who's been part of this community for so long who hasn't spoiled ANY of us on anything. You guys are the best. And now I don't have to add my usual disclaimer. Everything that needs knowing is known, and we have *so much* to discuss. I apologize for how long this recap is. I just....didn't want to have to stop talking about *Downton* forever.

To the boot room -- where, FOR ONCE, nothing horrible was revealed. (I really did think it was going to turn out that the Gutenberg Bible was stashed there, inside some discarded old shoe.)
