Welcome back to another Call the Midwife recap! Elderly narrator Jenny tells us that it is May and spring has truly arrived in Poplar. This week focuses on the outstanding service of Nurses Crane and Anderson (and in Lucille’s case, how dedication to your job can mess with your private life.) The midwives also come together for a worthy and fashionable fundraising event spearheaded by Nurse Franklin and Mrs. Buckle.

Nurse Crane and the Mohammeds

Nurse Crane makes a routine visit to the school to check on the students’ vaccinations. The Mohammed brothers, two well-mannered boys recently arrived from East Pakistan, are a concern to Phyllis. She finds them a little on the thin side and wonders who is looking after them at home. Miss Graham (Emilia Williams), who is evidently the only teacher at the school this year, says their father brought them the first day and since then they come to school on their own.
