It was time for feathered hats and fine china for Mercy by the Sea’s viewing of the season 5 finale of Downton Abbey on Jan. 3. Participants gathered in period costume and shared tea sandwiches and cookies while taking in the PBS program, which aired the premiere of its sixth and final season later that night.
