Rampant S3 Downton Abbey Speculation

It's that time of year again- the time when I illegally stream Downton Abbey off the internetz so I can be months ahead of the losers less fannishly obsessed Americans who will patiently wait for PBS to air the series in January. I taught so many people how to stream Downtown last year, it's probably the thing I am most likely to go to jail for. I can never run for public office now. Let the crazy wild speculation begin! Here are my predictions for season 3 based on trailers, interviews, and just general spidey senses about what Julian Fellowes thinks makes for good television.

( Don't break up Thomas and O'Brien- they're my favorite couple on the show! )
