Even before Julian Fellowes' period drama, "Downton Abbey" aired its sixth season, fans of the show have speculated and guessed that Anna will become a mother this season. Well, it looks like Julian Fellowes has listened very keenly to what fans to have to say, and has introduced the baby angle to Anna and Bates' marriage.
In episode 1, Anna is crushed at the prospect of not being able to conceive. Although she doesn't tell this to Lady Mary in the beginning, we could hazard a guess that she wrestles it out of Anna.
Episode 2, titled "Carnival" will document this journey that the two take but it remains to be seen if there is indeed a solution to Anna's baby situation.
Furthermore, episode 2 will also include a local carnival in the village. We reported that the estate's owners and staff mingle with the villagers. During this, Lord Grantham is approached by one of the villagers, who gives him information about Edith and her child, Marigold.
Cartermatt released the synopsis of episode 2.
