'Call the Midwife' Recap: Season 8 Episode 7
Last time on Call the Midwife, the Mother House sent back-up for an ailing Nurse Crane, a Poplar family faced serious illness due to dangerous work conditions and Lucille helped a teenage mother determined to keep her baby. If you want to refresh your memory, the full recap of Episode 6 is right this way.
This week, we find the residents of Nonnatus House (and Sister Monica Joan in particular) enthralled with the TV coverage of the Tokyo Summer Olympics. The courtship between Cyril and Lucille is going strong, and Mother Mildred hits her stride as a wise and guiding presence. Unfortunately, Nurse Crane remains in traction at the hospital, but a flood of patients and friends continue to send their well wishes.
Meanwhile, the Turners get word that May will be leaving them in a week’s time. Though Shelagh and Patrick try to spin it as good news to the children, no one is celebrating. Timothy (who we’ve seen only glimpses of this season) expresses his unhappiness with the situation and worries that little Angela just won’t understand why her sister has to leave. The best they can hope for is that May’s new family will allow them to visit. Or perhaps the Tunnocks will have a change of heart….
