A Recap of Where Each "Downton Abbey" Character Left Off

Thomas, now the butler at Downton Abbey, goes through a few ups and downs throughout the first movie. He's faced with a crisis of confidence when Carson is brought back to lead the preparations for the royal visit. He also is introduced to gay nightlife, only to get arrested in a police raid. Fortunately, things aren't all bad for him. He befriends Ellis, a valet to the king, who convinces the police to let him go and who helps the Downton staff with their schemes. Their friendship turns out to be a little more than that, too, as they share a kiss before Ellis leaves and they promise to keep in touch.
