* Cora showing outstanding generosity for her position and effortlessly shutting down a snobbish maitre d' barring Anna and Bates from a reservation they've made at a restaurant. The maitre d' insists that only the finest dine there and that Lady Grantham's large dining party has shut them out. Anna mentions she knows Lady Grantham, when the Countess herself walks up to them, having noticed they were there. The maitre d' incredulously tells Cora the Bateses claim to know her, mortifying Anna, who wouldn't want to leverage her acquantance that way, only for Cora to warmly say she knows them both very well
and cheerfully ask the maitre d' to sort things out. He instantly agrees and steps away. Anna begins to apologize for dropping Cora's name, only for Cora to dismiss the offense, saying not to spoil the effect, and she validates them by calling the maitre d' a snob. When the maitre d' returns, Cora casually comments that she (the Countess of Grantham) wishes she could join the Bateses at dinner before excusing herself, essentially cementing them the "friends of Her Ladyship" treatment for the rest of the night. Bates takes the opportunity to lord over the man a little as a result, handing his cane off to him when they get their table.

* Isobel Crawley spends much of the war years nursing in field hospitals on the front lines of the worst war in human history. No one can ''ever'' say that woman doesn't walk her walk.
