Good luck with that. I get it. The writers want to create this theme of life goes on as the survivors overcome adversity/tragedy while tradition fades in a modern, evolving world. Basically they want to show how conservative tradition has: stifled women's rights/development, held back acceptance of homosexuality and made it difficult for unhappy married couples to get out of relationships, etc. Meanwhile the one harmonious marriage/relationship between Mary and Matthew they contrive as syrupy sweet and then kill off Matthew.
As such here is the direction I would take the show: Matthew recovers from the auto accident, Tom eventually finds a good woman and remarries, Edith finally finds a good man and true love, Thomas dies from AIDS, the flirty old guy at the fair gets his dick cut off, the aunt and uncle in Scotland learn to love each other, Robert goes to tech school and learns abbey management, Rose gets STDs from fricking around, Downton Abbey is recognized nationally in England as a model for traditional transition into a modern world.
