"Call the Midwife' Recap: Season 7, Episode 7

Before we face the unbearable sadness of this week’s Call the Midwife, let’s recall how we got to this heartbreaking state of affairs in the first place. You may remember there was the mother on a crusade against Valerie’s health and relationship (aka sex education) class and Sister Monica Joan’s delightful cataract surgery adventure where she made a surprising new friend. But it was Barbara Hereward’s unceasing dedication to the Davidson family through a whirlwind of unexpected death, fire and the birth of twins that contributed to the health crisis the midwife found herself in at the end of the episode. You can get caught up with the rest of the details here.

This week we were left numb and wretchedly sad by the loss of a beloved character.  But as it always is with the midwives, life must go on. Let’s go over the less tragic happenings first.
