Thomas’s future is in Carson’s hands, but Bates may be an unlikely ally.
Read this on a website about the final episode. All I can say is WTF is Bates thinking.

I'm happy that he might be helping Thomas because that just shows how truly honourable he is. Of course the haters will take it differently...
As for O'Brien, I'm not sure, but I hope that it's good.

The only thing I could think of is maybe threatening to make up something about her that would get her in trouble if she doesn't talk to Jimmy. I know it's really not like Bates to do something like that.. but I dunno it seems so crazy to think he knows something about O'brien's past or something like that, that was never ever mentioned till that point. I also don't think it's the about the soap because It seems O'brien's the only one who knows about that. So... I habe NO freakin idea really! |

This is a quote from one of the recent interviews he did:
What you can look forward to – even if it’s not endless episodes of Downton Abbey from now until kingdom come, is more drama and more ambiguity. “If you think it’s ambiguous now, it gets more ambiguous,” Coyle explains, teasingly. “Bates has been in the Boer War… he would have killed a lot of people. Does that mean he can kill his wife? What does it do to you?” Bates’ innocence, or otherwise, is currently one of the central debates of the show.
I personally really hope this has something to do with what he whispered into O'Brien's ear. I don't actually think Fellowes will go there (I've been disappointed with his writing for Bates this series) but that's what I would like.

People keep saying stuff about how he might know about the soap incident with O'Brien. But if I remember correctly no one knows that. Did she tell Thomas? I don't remember. I'm really intrigued that it could be he's learned something about O'Brien while in prison.

Also, I think it was OBH that said we might not find out at all what he said. I'd be very annoyed as I REALLY wanna know and don't wanna be left with the doubt. Knowing JF though that might be exactly what he'll do. :/

3 things...
I doubt it has anything to do with past seasons. I would be very surprised if it was the soap thing.
I'm wondering it perhaps Bates will witness something within the episode (maybe having to do with Alfred) or something else that he can hold over O'brien.
Or.. I wonder if we will even know what he says to her. Just that he has SOMETHING...
And... why hasn't he shared it with Anna?

And... why hasn't he shared it with Anna? This. He's in his own house. I doubt it's because he's using a profanity. I don't think a profanity would impress O'Brien. It's got to be something good. That look on his face before he goes over to her. He means business. |

I think Anna knows. The thing is that they don't want us to know. Otherwise he would have spoken with O'Brien in another place and not next to Anna. Or perhaps Anna knows that he knows something about O'Brien but he doesn't want that Anna knows all the facts because is something nasty. But I still think Anna knows.
also this: 'Thomas is in a very serious situation indeed… but he’ll get some help from a very unlikely ally (who may then come to regret offering their support)'
ARGH don't you tell me that Thomas, after being helped by Bates, will turn into an ass again. Or perhaps is O'Biren that re-begins with her plots against Bates and that's why he speaks to her about Jimmy and whispers 'that' in her ear.

OK does anyone have the Bates/Anna spoilers? Can we all agree to keep them here and off tumblr?

I have seen the episode. My friend (TSR) got her boxset on Friday.
I'm afraid I won't divulge on here, as anyone could stumble upon it plus you don't know what trouble you might get into.

I watched episode 8 Friday night and apart from ELV I haven't even told my mother any thing that happens. The folks who make DA try to keep spoilers to minimum so every one can enjoy the shows ups and downs when it airs. Sorry maybe I'm a jobs worth, I'll say this... its a gooden  |
