What happens in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale?
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale's storyline takes place in 1930, representing individual and societal milestones for the Crawley family. Family drama, scandal, and perseverance blend in the movie as the Crawleys (except Mary) watch a London play, where they meet up again with former butler Thomas Barrow, who is now happily settled as Guy Dexter's partner.
Later in the year, Lady Mary's divorce from Henry Talbot is announced, and she is shamed in royal society and in danger of bringing scandal to the family. Meanwhile, Cora's brother Harold comes from America with his money man Gus Sambrook, whose questionable influence becomes involved with Mary in both a romance and a scandal.
As Gus pushes the Crawleys into ventures with gambling stakes, Mary is blackmailed after their affair. The family is torn apart by financial hardship and social repercussions, but Tom Branson and Bertie Pelham remind Robert that Mary's vision is the way to a future for Downton.
The climax of the film intensifies as Gus's schemes are revealed, him being a conman who had cheated Harold. With Edith's confrontation and Mary's ultimate rejection, the family saves Downton from destruction. Reputation is regained when Edith and Cora invite Guy Dexter, Noël Coward, and Barrow to dine at the Abbey and make the occasion a public success.
Isobel runs the county fair, toppling old-fashioned traditions and bringing the servants into positions of power, which reinforces the show's theme of new times. Ultimately, Robert and Cora retire to the Dower house, leaving Downton Abbey's legacy in Mary's complete charge.
The final shots are filled with nostalgia as Mary looks back over her family's past and the run of the series, while the Crawleys and their loved ones step out into a future uncertain and yet hopeful, sealing the finale as a tearful goodbye to the much-loved saga.
