I could be wrong, but as I recall, Mary had the chance to be "kind" to Sybil shortly before she died and didn't exactly do a great job of it. I can't remember a lot about the conversation, but it seemed like Sybil was trying to repair their relationship and Mary kind of gave her the brush off.

I think you are right. Mary will not be kind to Edith. Why should she? She is still a holder of her snobby upper class attitudes and is still no fan of her middle sister. I think she will continue to be mean to Edith.
Maybe Mrs. Crawley will take in Edith since she seems to be the only one who has a heart. I don't think anyone in Edith's family will accept her pregnancy. Cora will want to, but Robert will probably kick her out of the house.

I don't see Robert kicking her out. Maybe they will send her to America to live with Cora's family as a newly widowed mother.

Mary was never unkind to Sybil. Perhaps you're thinking of the scene, at Sybil's deathbed, when Edith approached Mary and asked her if they couldn't get along better in the future, and Mary said she doubted it.

I couldn't see Robert kicking her out. He'd send her off somewhere - to her grandmother in the States, maybe.

Well, that's kind of kicking her out. What I meant is that he would want to have her leave Downton Abbey. I don't think it would be to America though, because she would have to leave the show. That's why I thought maybe going to live with Isobel would be a good choice.

Isobel's too close by. I could see staying with the aunt in London. Or the cousin (?) in India!

That's the scene I was thinking of. "I doubt it" doesn't strike me as a very kind thing for Mary to have said. Yes, she was probably just being honest, but, "I hope so, Sybil" would have been a much kinder thing for her to say to her dying sister.

Sybil was already dead at this point; the conversation was between Mary and Edith.
