This week on Call The Midwife the Nigels on the Board of Health reveal their plans for the future of Nonnatus House. In addition, Timothy takes on a new part-time job to earn money while Matthew fights his father for his vision of the future of Poplar. This week's expecting mothers may have pregnancy complications, but their husbands also face medical dilemmas. Cyril also has an unexpected update about Lucille’s sick leave. A lot of events are packed into this episode but first, a warning that this episode discusses mental illness harming others.

Last episode, Georgiana won her court case (yay!) and all of our friends seemed determined to just be stubbornly unhappy in love (boo!). This installment, I regret to inform you, seems to be doubling down on the latter. Georgiana wakes up in her living room to the sound of a maid clearing away empty wine bottles, and not in a fun, insouciant, Bridget Jones’ Diary kind of way: in a “I’m not sure what to do with myself AND pining for an old relationship” kind of way. She heads over to visit Charlotte, who gently asks some pointed questions.

This week’s episode of Call The Midwife allows Sister Veronica to use her personality quirks for the greater good. At the same time, Trixie discovers one skill that will likely elude her. An expectant mother discovers her family’s secret is an inherited chronic illness, and a follow-up on children’s vaccinations leads to the discovery of an abusive relationship. Let’s discuss what happens with a warning that rape and domestic violence will be discussed which will be triggering to some readers and viewers.

All right, pals, let’s get right down to business: this week we’re heading off to London, where hopefully we’ll see Georgiana destroy Wannabe Byron’s…

This week’s episode of Call The Midwife allows Sister Veronica to use her personality quirks for the greater good. At the same time, Trixie discovers one skill that will likely elude her. An expectant mother discovers her family’s secret is an inherited chronic illness, and a follow-up on children’s vaccinations leads to the discovery of an abusive relationship. Let’s discuss what happens with a warning that rape and domestic violence will be discussed which will be triggering to some readers and viewers.

Well, reader, last week dropped us off in a decidedly less idyllic version of Sanditon than we’ve visited in the past, culminating with some absolutely atrocious garbage from the unfortunately returned Wannabe Byron. How will our friends deal with this latest nonsense? Charlotte, who is after all very ride or die for Georgiana, has naturally decided to stay on in Sanditon until the legal issues are resolved. Boring Ralph, however, has some boring farm stuff to get back to, so his only onscreen presence is an admittedly sweet letter. Bad idea, pal: with you gone, Charlotte has a lot more time to exchange yearning glances with Mystery Dad!

This week on Call The Midwife, Lucille is still struggling with her mental health, and continues to have a hard time balancing her personal turmoil with caring for the residents of Poplar. Meanwhile, an expectant mother’s additional diagnosis challenges Dr. Turner and the midwives' ability to care for her. Let’s discuss what happens, but first a note of caution: this episode discusses suicidal ideation.

Well, friends, we’re back. Last season, all of our beloved pals were once again jilted and disrespected by horrible men, so at this point I’m honestly kind of hoping Georgiana and Charlotte just run away together to be rich and fabulous in peace. However, I suspect my wish is not about to be granted, because even though the season does start with Charlotte making her way downtown (riding fast, faces pass, and she’s Sanditon bound), she’s not alone in the carriage. No, sitting across from her is Boring Ralph, her farmer fiance who we barely met at the very tail end of last season’s finale. I’m gonna be real with you, reader: he seems fine. I’m probably being unfair. But guess what: I don't care!
