"There is a point, Spratt, where malice ceases to be amusing."

Says a-whole-lot about why we all LOVE the Doweger. She's both a hero and an anti-hero--just like all of us.

Maggie Smith: "I was talking menus with Mrs Potter"

Me: *freaks out

[arbebitbit]

The drama between these two is so unnecessary but very amusing 🤣

[curlynurse]

Spratt forgot what the dowager hates the most is to be predictable LOL

[blurdreamer]

I love Maggie Smith make sure no one is favourite and superior over each other, lol

[cindykaye]

Another hilarious example of the Dowager's prowess at putting people in their place with all of her aristocratic wit & charm!!!

I like how the Dowager doesn’t have a favourite between the two; this time Denker wins, then Spratt wins when his journalism is exposed later on.

[cordeliacarstairs]

I love that beef between Denker and Spratt

[katjamihelic]

'I was talking menus with Mrs Potter'. - said Professor McGonagall...the Dowager Countess of Grantham, I mean.

[Kelaiah]

I never liked Spratt. Ever since he turned on Moseley and sabotaged him, I've been against that chubby little toad of a man. It was a delight seeing him get foiled like this. XD

The way the Dowsger trembled on her way out - that broth must have been quite something, even if she truly made the most spectacular effort to even out the dynamics between Denker and Spratt.

[chloechan]

The chemistry between Spratt and Denker is amazing

[anitacalloway]

I couldn’t stand Denker, but her reaction to the “aroma” of the broth made me scream. 😂 And I felt so sorry for her when Violet asked to taste it. She looked so worried. But she had to know it tasted horrible from the smell, so why she claimed a victory when Violet was clearly being kind mystifies me.

1:12 it's delicious! 1:31 Let's save this delight for another day! 1:45 hahahahahaha

[InFltSvc]

This truly was a GREAT show and I don’t think it can be out done

[spiritmatter]

"Let us save its delights for another day."

Pride comes before a fall.
The man had it coming to him.

[brentgambrell]

Did anyone else find it rather nostalgic when she said, “Mr Potter”?

[singediabolique]

I do not like Denker in the least, but I was so glad to see Spratt get a comeuppance.

[ahsansiddiqui]

Ah our betters, so magnanimous, so generous, so appreciative!
