Give Lady Edith a break: She just had a baby in secret -- and the recovery, not to mention the stress of hiding it from Lord Grantham, has probably got her severely dehydrated.
Which is your clue as to what's wrong with this picture:
Oh dear. Someone left a waterbottle in this press photo from @DowntonAbbey #PhotoFail pic.twitter.com/EdZxc8Xlj7— Darren Bell (@darren_bell) August 14, 2014
The photo was included along with a bunch of other publicity stills for Downton Abbey Season 5, which hits the U.S. in January and, as everyone knows, takes place in the 1920s, well before careless production assistants started leaving plastic water bottles all over the place.
Or, or, what if Downton is taking a cue from the success of Outlander -- which Starz just renewed for a second season, by the way -- by introducing a time-travel element?
In any case, if the time-honored narrative principle of Chekhov's Gun is to be obeyed here, the water bottle will come into play. Can't you just see Lord Grantham doing the ice-bucket challenge in Season 5?
