The third episode of "Downton Abbey" season 6 will be finally aired in the U.S., which will feature the highly anticipated wedding.

The drama surrounding Mr. Carson (Jim Carter) and Mrs. Hughes' (Phyllis Logan) wedding has intensified since the beginning of the final season of "Downton Abbey."

It began when the future bride confessed to Mrs. Patmore her concerns regarding the possibility of not fulfilling her wifely duties. But Carson reassured her that everything would be alright. However, another problem surfaced in season 2 when Mary (Michelle Dockery) reprimanded her father Robert (Hugh Bonneville) for offering the servant's hall for the wedding reception instead of the bigger hall inside the estate.

The Crawleys then offered their own house for the wedding reception, but Mrs. Hughes said that she could not accept the offer because she wants to hold the wedding in a place where their personalities can be reflected.

For the third episode of "Downton Abbey" season 6, Mrs. Hughes is expected to politely decline the offer of the Crawleys to hold her wedding breakfast at the hall inside Downton Abbey, which the family will gladly accept.

Then Carson and Hughes finally tie the knot in the church and share a lovely wedding breakfast with the Crawleys and the other servants of the estate inside a local school. But this will not go smoothly as planned, since Tom Branson (Allen Leech) will return with his daughter Sibbie and claim that they will stay in the estate forever.

Meanwhile, conflicts within the family will also be featured in the third episode of "Downton Abbey" season 6. The Crawleys will discuss their moves in the upcoming episode premiere. This means that the efforts of the family during the discussion will be filled with rage, especially if the topic will be about the hospital merger.

"Downton Abbey" season 6 episode 3 airs in the U.S. on Sunday, Jan. 17, on PBS.
