Downton Abbey fans, check out the new sneak preview of the series 4 finale (spoiler: there's a wedding on the cards!)

As series 4 of Downton Abbey draws to a close this weekend, it seems as if there are a LOT of loose ends to be tied up.
But, while we were originally focused on Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) picking between three suitors (a lord, a mud wrestler and a… well, a spaniel in human form) and Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) coming clean about that baby in her belly, it seems there's a lot more to contend with upstairs than we'd previously thought.
Namely Lady Rose (Lily James) and her desire to elope with jazz singer Jack Ross (Gary Carr). Oh, the scandal! The delicious, delicious scandal!
Watch Rose confessing her intentions to a stony-faced Mary below. Extra points if you spot a single flicker of emotion cross Lady M's face:
"I love him. And I won't listen to any imperialist nonsense about racial purity and how he should be horsewhipped for daring to dream."

"I'm going to marry him, Mary. And I don't care what it costs. And I won't keep it a secret."

 

Yeah, Mary. Suck. On. That.
We quite like the idea of Rose scampering off into the sunset with her ridiculously handsome musical beau, but we imagine there'll be a lotta obstacles before that happens. Not to mention the fact that Jack himself seemed pretty darned unsure about a relationship with Rose last week.
Remember? Remember when they were kissing on that romantic boat ride? REMEMBER WHEN HE SAID THEY COULDN'T HOPE TO HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP?!
Anyway. That happened. So keep it in mind before you get too excited about this potential elopement...
As well as Rose and Jack figuring out a solution to their romance, we can also expect a conclusion to the shocking Bates / Anna / Green rape storyline, a possible return for Tom's political love interest, Mary getting her act together with her menfolk annnnnd Lady Edith attempting to pawn off her baby to a local farmer. Y'know, so she doesn't have to live with the shame of it being born out of wedlock.
We can't wait! Fingers crossed the pigs are back to stir things up too...
