A whole host of dramatic events live in the third season as wedding guests descend at Downtown Abbey, but there may be many disasters and the family tries to convince Martha to have a lavish dinner party. On the other hand, Ms. Hughes is facing a crisis that may have a lot to do with her and Crowley is waiting eagerly for the new addition to the family soon and Anna is trying to find evidence to prove Bates's innocence. But perhaps there will be a real tragedy that will change everything.
