“Call the Midwife” returns with another episode that blends heartwarming community moments with the harsh realities of life in 1960s Poplar. Sister Julienne finds herself grappling with a particularly difficult case while the community rallies together for the Poplar Commonwealth Games.
Sister Veronica, ever vigilant, discovers a family living in an abandoned warehouse after their children have been absent from school. The expectant mother’s situation is complicated by her husband’s resistance to any midwife involvement, raising concerns about the family’s well-being.
Meanwhile, Sister Julienne assists with a traumatic birth, a stark contrast to the usual joyous occasions. Shelagh’s compassionate nature leads her to a house call that reveals a sad diagnosis for a local man living with polio.
On a lighter note, Violet’s community spirit shines as she organizes the Poplar Commonwealth Games, spurred by a child’s injury while playing in the street.
