This article discusses Cora's plan for Lady Edith and her daughter Marigold in Season 5 of the television show Downton Abbey. Cora, the Countess of Grantham, comes up with a plan to protect her daughter's secret by bringing Marigold back to the estate.
In Season 5, viewers discover that Lady Edith has secretly given birth to a daughter named Marigold, following a brief affair with Michael Gregson, a newspaper editor who went missing in Germany.
Cora, understanding the gravity of the situation, devises a plan to protect Lady Edith and her daughter. She suggests that Lady Edith brings Marigold back to Downton Abbey and pretends that she is the daughter of one of the tenants. By doing so, Cora hopes to shield Lady Edith from judgment and allow her to raise Marigold in a loving environment.
Cora's plan is met with mixed reactions from the family. Lady Violet, the Dowager Countess, initially opposes the idea, believing that it will only bring scandal to the family. However, Cora and her husband, Lord Grantham, believe that it is crucial to keep the family together and support Lady Edith.
As the plan unfolds, Lady Edith introduces Marigold as the daughter of a tenant farmer who tragically passed away.
