It’s Vaccination Mow-tivation on ‘Call The Midwife’ Season 13

After two weeks of relatively happy endings, Call the Midwife decided to put us through it in week three. We settled to have a good time with our favorite midwives and nurses and instead had our hearts in our throats for the majority of the episode. Luckily, we did not have to organize a riot at the BBC or PBS offices, but it was dodgy there in the middle.

This show had the nerve to put sweet, precious Fred (Cliff Parisi) in danger over a lawn mower. (Did Mad Men teach us nothing?) It reinforced the importance of vaccines (in this case, tetanus, but if you want to extend it to other vaccines in your life, please feel free), but at what cost? In the meantime, Violet (Annabelle Apsion) continued her quest to be mayor, a former model (Mia Gill) struggled with a difficult birth, and Trixie (Helen George) treated herself to a fancy new couch.

There were no updates on the impending nurse's union or Cyril's (Zephryn Taitte) new career path, but we had a lot on our plates regardless. Everything turned out okay in the end, but let's revisit how this show nearly caused us to have a cardiac arrest.
