Last week Lady Mary broke the news to Lord Gillingham that she wouldn’t be taking up his offer of marriage, and it didn’t exactly go to plan. How will she deal with the fall out on season 5, episode 5?

The latest episode of Downton Abbey season 5 airs tonight on ITV at 9 p.m. GMT. If you need a refresher on everything that happened on the last week’s packed episode, you can check out our recap here.

The synopsis from ITV promises the continuation of some of the more interesting plot lines from the season, and love is on the line for many of our beloved characters. It reads:

“Simon Bricker returns to Downton to discuss the painting with Cora, but this time has his flirting crossed the line?

Branson makes a difficult decision about Sarah Bunting, and Rose encounters a handsome stranger.

Determined to stop Isobel making the wrong decision about Lord Merton, Violet enlists the help of Doctor Clarkson, but things don’t quite go as planned.

Meanwhile in London, Charles Blake surprises Mary with a cunning plan to help her get exactly what she wants.

Downstairs, Mrs Patmore seeks Carson’s advice on a financial matter and Inspector Vyner returns with some ominous words of warning for Anna.”

It seems as though Sarah Bunting’s actions at dinner last week may have soured Branson’s affections towards her, or perhaps the opposite is true? Will we be seeing him depart for America with little Sybbie, and his new beau? We certainly hope not! Worryingly absent from the synopsis and stills is Thomas Barrow, who returned from London last week looking worse for wear. We’re eager to learn just what went on whilst he was away from Downton.

The stills from ITV don’t give away much of what we can expect from the upcoming episode, and we’re not sure if that should worry us or not! Check them out below:
