But I think we can assume Thomas knows O’Brien well enough to know she would be capable of setting up Cora’s “accident”. Thomas: Why not? I like the idea of giving orders to old Carson. O'Brien: So, will you come if I can fix it? Thomas: You're a queer one, and no mistake. And I'll not let anyone else hurt her neither. Thomas: You've also got Her Ladyship wrapped 'round your little finger. O'Brien: Well, like you say, I've changed me tune. When I were last here, you'd've given money to see Her Ladyship eat dirt. O'Brien: All right, it's to stop Mrs Crawley bossing Her Ladyship about. O'Brien: To be in charge? Telling Mr Carson what to do? In episode three of the second series, after Thomas has returned from the front, there’s a scene where Thomas observes O’Brien has made an about-turn in her feelings towards Cora for reasons she does not want to state: She's advertised for your replacement.Īfterwards, near the end of the episode, O’Brien causes Cora’s accident in revenge (though she belatedly changes her mind and is later shocked to learn Cora’s advertisement was intended to find a maid for Violet). In the last episode of the first series, there are some conversations between Thomas and O’Brien about her belief that Cora is about to replace her, including this short exchange: I don’t think O’Brien told Thomas (or anyone) about what she did, but he presumably knew enough to work it out.
