Summary
When Guy lands a role in a Broadway play, Noël Coward suggests he and Thomas stay with his new friend Harold Levinson during their time in New York. Thomas reluctantly agrees, but grows far more skeptical about the arrangement when Lady Mary turns up out of the blue to visit her uncle.
Also, Noël is in New York, acting in Private Lives, and bringing sunshine wherever he goes.

Robert blinked. “Thomas?”
“As Mr Crawley’s valet,” Bates clarified. “Imagine it — Thomas, with his pride, his sharp tongue — and Mr Crawley, with all his notions of righteousness and order. If he finds Molesley oppressive, what would he make of Thomas Barrow?”
AU where Thomas becomes Matthew’s valet in season 1, and everything changes.
