The parallels between this scene and Mary’s spilling Edith’s secret to Bertie are incredible. Right down to the exact same way they both try to defend their bad actions, with Barrow saying “I couldn’t have known she was planning to lie her way through” and Mary saying “How was I to know”. Plus they were both motivated by jealousy to try and ruin the other person’s happiness. No wonder Mary liked Barrow, they were both capable of the same cruelty.

One of the moving things here, towards the end, is that while Gwen i telling the story of her relationship with Sybil , and everyone is remembering what a lovely person she was, Barrow is standing looking both ashamed and deeply unhappy. Sybil was not just kind to Gwen. She had worked with Thomas as an equal in every way. They had seen men with terrible injuries. They had supported a man who suicided. They had nursed Matthew Crawley, when he could not even put himself on the bed pan. Sybil was, for a time, his dearest friend.

I love this moment because it resonates with all the storylines at this moment. Tom just got back from Boston with Sybbie because this house where he knew Sybil is his home. Robert has to take a decision about giving Yew Tree Farm to Mr Mason or not and Cora will ask him what Sybil would want them to do. Mary got her brother-in-law back, the former chauffeur that only Sybil was open-minded enough to love despite the difference in social rank, and after her death Mary accepted him as a brother and was better person thanks to him and the memory of their late Sybil. Edith is trying to find her place at her magazine and at Downton, and seeing Gwen's story she finally decides to take a woman editor.

I love the fact that Thomas had to sit and listen as Gwen explained how Sybil was the one who helped her and how the family treated Gwen very nicely and were ashamed that they did not know her after working for 2 years. Thomas must have been burning up inside knowing that he failed to ruin her lunch. Thomas was a evil person, but in the last seasons they did show that deep inside he was a very scared person who was not happy being his self and was full of jealousy for anyone who made it out of service. Even though I hated Thomas I have to admit his part made the show very interesting.

Sybil told Robert, "Gwen is in the library being interviewed" and he complained he couldn't use the library because of a housemaid. Robert knew who Gwen was and her position in the household so it's incorrect to say no one spoke to or cared about her for two years. He just probably didn't put it together that Mrs. Harding was Gwen.

Also, when Pamuk was staying at Downton the whole family were talking about Gwen during dinner. I don't see why the Crawleys should be expected to remember a maid (who now has a completely different kind of job and a different last name) who only worked there for two years. In addition, Gwen worked at Downton before the war, before it became a convalescent home. So a lot of people had been in and out of that house since she was last there.

So I can somewhat understand Barrow's nastiness to Gwen, born out of his jealousy. But what reason has Mary got for being nasty to Gwen? Soon as she heard that Gwen used to be a housemaid she immediately adopted a condescending manner. Even Edith and Cora said they were at fault for not recognising her but Mary is simply being nasty to someone who already feels very uncomfortable. She always looks down on anyone she considers beneath her.

What I also find interesting is that Mary was the only one who actually did recognise Gwen’s face, though she couldn’t place how. Mary is so delightfully layered. She doesn’t look down on those in service- look at how she treats Anna. But she immediately defaults to condescension and nastiness when she feels wrong footed or threatened in anyway.

I'm thinking that Gwen didn't say anything to Thomas because she hadn't know until right before she arrived at Downton that she would be there at all, didn't have a chance to prepare and didn't know who would be at the door. Too there was the class system and the more formal protocol of the day along with little time to talk with Anna.

I think thats the entire point of the class system. Rose is an aristocrat and is thus able to do as she pleases. Her actions are simply looked at as eccentric or at worst some societal faux pas. On the other hand if Gwen was to do that, she would not only piss off her benefactor Lady Painswick and also cheese off the Crawleys. Of course she doesn't know that the Crawleys are actually progressive and wouldn't mind her breaking societal norms.
