I’ve always felt like I’m watching from the sidelines, you know? Everyone is very welcoming, so Lucille is surprised to find About to Adopt crying in the loo after class.Ībout to Adopt: Oh, I’m just happy! I’ve been married for 10 years, and sure, we didn’t want a kid right away, but we’ve been struggling with infertility for a lot of that time. Meanwhile, Lucille welcomes a new student to one of the Nonnatus prenatal classes: this mother is about to have a long-awaited child via adoption. Please don't blame yourself for the broken system that's led you to this reality, Cheer Up! But also, if you want to have a good cry, you've earned it. But unlike some of our typical moms, she immediately starts sobbing, and not, I think, with joy.Ĭheer Up, to her baby/the world at large: I’m sorry. Thankfully for Cheer Up, the labor goes as well as it ever does on Call The Midwife, and she soon delivers a lovely baby girl. She even once had to use her wimple to help keep a draft out from a broken window, which feels ever so slightly metaphorically significant.
And once this contraction is over, I’m calling for reinforcements.īack at Nonnatus, as Trixie packs up some supplies, Sister Monica Joan explains that the building where Cheer Up lives has been a miserable disaster as long as she can remember (and as we all know, that’s a pretty long time). Well let’s get you onto the couch, that’ll be easier. Sister Frances: Cheer Up, does your husband know you’re in labor?Ĭheer Up: I’m not sure he knows I’m pregnant. Did I give this poor woman that name because of this iconic scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory? Maybe! (yes.)Ĭheer Up, literally being engulfed by the mattress: It’s not so bad, we manage! Across town, things are decidedly less orderly, as Sister Frances struggles to even examine her patient, Cheer Up, because her mattress is so saggy. Miss Higgins: When you use it, think of me, and try to write more legible prescriptions than your dad. But that’s not all: she also gives him her pen. If he decides to skip med school after all, it seems that our collective son has a future ahead of him apprenticing for Miss Higgins, who’s proud enough to give Tim one of her rare smiles and verbal pats on the back. Before we get into that mess, we get to see the end of a different disaster: it seems that young Timothy Turner has successfully retyped all the damaged records from the flood in episode five, in addition to confirming ongoing med deliveries with local pharmacies and sending off samples. Anyway, since they’re decidedly not hippies, and thus might be unlikely to know the joys of zucchini cake, I’m not sure what’s gonna happen with the surplus, but time will tell.Īcross town, Sister Frances arrives at her delivery, where she’s met by a pregnant neighbor of her patient who informs our midwife friend that the water has gone off. They look pretty great, but Vi isn’t keen to let Fred sell them in the shop, which is a shame, since he doesn’t work in an office, and therefore can’t go around leaving them on people’s desks like a harvest Santa Claus.
No, reader, Fred isn’t wearing the merch of a fictionalized Roman divine hero, but he IS carrying a large tray of zucchini that his allotment has overproduced (and isn’t that always the way with zucchini?).

And in case you were wondering where Sister Hilda was, she’s back just in time to get the update from Sister Julienne. In Poplar, our friends are starting this week off still reeling from what we learned last week about Boots’ secret past. How are we at the last episode of the season already? I don’t know, but I don’t like it! Regardless, it’s happening, so buckle in. Ready? Take a deep (Lamaze) breath, and prepare yourself for Season 10!
Need a refresher on what happened last season? Check out our Season Holiday Special recaps here. Between our scrappy nurses, sassy nuns and gut-wrenching emotional trauma that somehow keeps you wanting more, there’s a lot to be excited about. As summer fades into autumn, we have more than just the metaphorical birth of a new season to contend with: it’s also time for the return of PBS favorite, Call The Midwife. Every season, the Drama After Dark team gathers ‘round the (yes, still online) conference room table to watch the latest and greatest in British dramas.
