"Oh, my God. I&amp;#x27;m in utter shock over last night&amp;#x27;s Downton Abbey. And to be honest, I&amp;#x27;m shocked that I&amp;#x27;m shocked. Mostly because Downton spoilers are inescapable these days&amp;amp;#8212;search for a GIF, read a bit of casting news, and suddenly you&amp;#x27;ve skipped way too far ahead in the series that airs in the UK first, putting all the plot points on the Internet before the story ever comes stateside. Somehow, though, I never saw [SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!] Sybil&amp;#x27;s death coming. And I just. Can&amp;#x27;t. Believe they did that. And how they did it was absolutely gutwrenching, wasn&amp;#x27;t it? To see a roomful of people flailing helplessly as someone expires would be chilling on any program&amp;amp;#8212;but to watch it on a show so bound up in old-timey decorum just floored me. I really believed, until the last minute, that Sybil was going to come out of it. I&amp;#x27;m still processing, but--where do we go from here? I know we&amp;#x27;re not talking Homeland-level logistics, but I was so invested in Sybil&amp;#x27;s storyline--and at heart, I feel like Downton is still the tale of this trio of very different sisters coming of age in a tumultuous time. So when Mary said, &amp;quot;This is the last time us three will be together in this life,&amp;quot; my heart straight broke. Is anyone else as TV-devastated by this turn of events as I was? I&amp;#x27;m just not on-board with this at all."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
