Uh no, Victoria had two of the characters share a kiss while Lady Coke watched. She didn't seem to act any different when she saw them later so I'm wondering if she is planning some sort of blackmail.
What were the consequences back then for being gay? Were you banished to the Tower of London or was it off with your head? Lady C did not seem the least bit shocked by the behavior.

It was an open secret for a lot of members of the aristocracy (heck "buggery" was almost a right of passage at the boarding schools of the day,) but legally it was punishable by death until the mid-19th century and by imprisonment after that. (and that's for men. Women weren't supposed to be sexual at that time, so lesbians weren't really a threat.)

Just watched the season final episode (like Downton Abbey, the Christmas episode). Really love the show. I am assuming (and hoping) there will be more seasons????
