To the excitement of the fans, PBS' the British-American drama, Downton Abbey, will be returning for an all-new episode of season 4.

While loyalists are surely looking forward to the upcoming episode, they should be warned that it will be somewhat disturbing, as it's set to involve the beating and raping of Anna (Joanne Froggatt).

When house guests arrive with their maids and valets, Lord Gillingham's, Mr. Green, begins to fancy Anna, who brushes him off.

To make matters worst, Anna ends up pleading with Mr. Hughes not to let anyone know about the horrific experience.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Patmore is set to have what appears to be as some sort of panic attack, as she becomes very overwhelmed.

Lord Gillingham will start to like Mary (Michelle Dockery), even though he's currently involved with Mabel, a heiress. Although Mary has told him she isn't interested, the widow is clearly intrigued by his interest in her.

Branson will feel uneasy chatting it up with friends of the Crawley family. However, his night of negativity ends up leading to a sexual encounter with the likes of Edna Braithwaite.

Downton Abbey will be airing episode 3 in the U.S. on Jan. 19 at 9 p.m. E.T. Be sure to keep checking back for more details on the hit program.
