I personally don't like cliff hangers that you can never know the answer to. I saw on a different site that another season was planned but did not come off due to a strike. That information, if true, would tell us the answer to one thing but not "what happened next".
Prior to this episode this was indeed a very good series. I was especially surprised as Thomas and Sarah were never my personal favorite characters in Upstairs, Downstairs. I found Sarah particularly headstrong and annoying. For this reason, I put off watching this spin-off series for several years. Recently, however, I watched it, and due to some excellent, if somewhat unbelievable scripts and dialog, and some very good acting by all involved I found this well worth watching.
