Edith is trash for accepting Bertie's proposal without telling him the truth. Whatever Mary's motivations, she did Bertie a favor. Who knows how long it would've taken Edith to come clean. I wouldn't put it past her to keep him in the dark forever, which would've been unfair to him and Marigold.
Honestly, people who like Edith mystify me. She's supposed to be the nice one, yet I struggle to think of a single instance where she went out of her way to help anyone. The soldiers in the hospital during the war, I guess, but that's about it, and I bet she wouldn't have been half as enthusiastic about it if it was women she was taking care of, ultimate pick-me girl that she is. Meanwhile, we've seen Mary be kind on numerous occasions and help many people, including Anna, Tom, Carson, Lavinia, Rose, Mrs Hughes, even Barrow. But Edith's storyline is always about her: her love life, her child, her magazine. She seems to have little interest in anyone outside of herself. Mary can be a bitch like nobody's business, but Edith is self-involved to the max and I can't take to her at all.
Also, Tom's meddling in Mary's relationship was just weird and out of line. And I can't believe it didn't occur to anyone that Mary may be hesitant to marry a dude who drives for a living after her last husband literally died in a car crash.
