Then PBS put up a poll, asking “Who do you think killed Vera Bates?” Almost 70% of chat participants said “Sir Richard.” And then Coyle typed “You lot are brilliant…” But it wasn’t in response to a question from a chat participant.

It was never addressed in the chat - it moved on to more questions about Bates. But it certainly has our gears turning. We actually had never even considered that it was Sir Richard. Does that even make sense?

At that point in the season, what would his motive be? Just to cause trouble for the Crawleys because of his jealousy over Matthew and Mary? It’s not as if Vera died after Mary dumped Sir Richard.

And we are certainly, in no way, saying that Brendon Coyle has confirmed that this is the case at all. It might have been a coincidence of him complimenting the chat participants. But it was an interesting moment and it set our spidey sense a-tingling. Oooh, it’s fun to speculate.

Oh, I would love for it to be Sir Richard so then Bates is free and everyone hates Sir Richard anyways!
