"Why Is Her Door Locked?" is the ninth episode of the first series of the British television series, Upstairs, Downstairs . The episode is set in the summer of 1907.
"Why Is Her Door Locked?" was among the episodes omitted from Upstairs, Downstairs' initial Masterpiece Theatre broadcast in 1974, and was consequently not shown on US television until 1989.
After Emily's suicide, Mrs. Bridges takes leave of her senses. She feels very guilty and remorseful over Emily's death. Having no one of her own to care for, she steals a baby from its pram outside a shop and hides it in her room, locking her door. Richard and Lady Marjorie return the baby to its parents, Lily and Arthur Webber, but rather than accepting an offer of financial compensation, the Webbers go to the police. Mrs. Bridges is arrested and put on trial. She escapes a jail sentence when Hudson agrees to marry her once they are no longer in service. [1] [2]
