Downton Abbey, Class Warfare. The Deconstruction of Lord Merton

Downton Abbey takes a new, sinister turn

Class Warfare erupts as an angry local Tramp uses hypnosis and mind control to transform the aristocratic Lord Richard Merton into a Tramp like himself.

He must convince Merton that he was born in poverty, never went to school, and is a member of the lowest class. He strips the Lord of his name, land, home, education and speech patterns as well as his clothes. Merton struggles but is eventually dragged down into the Tramp’s plans as he becomes the very opposite of what he was born to be.
