John goes to London to confront her and returns to Downton with a large scratch on his face telling Anna that their meeting went terribly. Keeping her word about ruining her husband, she tells the judge in her divorce case that she was bribed to consent to the divorce and the judge voids the divorce decree, meaning Vera and John are still legally married. Carlisle later telephones Lady Mary regarding Vera's threat to her husband. She leaves in a huff as she realizes that she was tricked and silenced, but not before telling Carlisle that ruin was not over for her husband. As Carlisle offers her a large about of money, she hastily accepts Carlisle's terms, only to return next morning to find that Carlisle had no intention of publishing the story of Mr Pamuk and Lady Mary. Carlisle summons Vera to his office, and forces Vera into silence regarding any incident about Lady Mary (including the Pamuk scandal).
In despair, Anna and Lady Mary decide that the latter will have to ask Mary's fiancée Sir Richard Carlisle to stop Vera's greedy and heartless plot. She decides that she is going to sell Lady Mary's scandalous secret regardless. Tremendously furious, she travels to Downton to tell her former husband that she did not give him permission to return to Downton, much less restore his relationship with housemaid Anna. Sarah O'Brien, always in opposition to Bates, writes to Vera to tell her where he is and about Bates romantic relationship with Anna. In order to keep Vera quiet about Kemal Pamuk and Mary Crawley, her husband bribes her for a divorce, which she reluctantly accepts. Eventually he returns to working as Robert's valet and Anna and they rekindle their romance. Bates returns to London with her to live in his mother's home but soon separates after learning that she has been unfaithful to him. She also wants her husband to give notice and come back to her since she has tried living on her own and does not like it. She asks for large amounts of money, refusing a divorce so he cannot marry fellow servant Anna Smith and blackmails him, threatening to expose Lady Mary's secret. After learning her husband has a larger then expected inheritance after his mother's death, she arrives at Downton Abbey.
Shortly before her mother-in-law's death, Vera arrived at her house.
