'Call the Midwife' Tests the Junior Nurses in Explosive Episode

Our Midwife trainees, Rosalind (Natalie Quarry) and Joyce (Renee Bailey), won't be forgetting this week on Call the Midwife anytime soon. The junior nurses each had their hands full with separate cases that tested all of their patience and decorum.

Rosalind had to bite her tongue when a well-to-do family was super prepared for their first child but immediately turned into cowards when their baby girl was born with an unexpected ailment. Meanwhile, Joyce was trying to do the best for a struggling mother of three while dealing with a tantrum-throwing racist male patient in the same building. They were both put to the test, even as Joyce's caseload led to a literal explosion in Poplar that could have turned deadly for everyone involved.

Meanwhile, Trixie, pardon, I mean Lady Aylward, finally faced off against the Board of Health to get Nonnatus House the funding it needed for crucial home repairs while Rosalind and Joyce dealt with their tough cases. This is the fight that Sister Julienne and Trixie have been preparing for since Christmas, but the clever duo were not to be outdone, even as Poplar changes rapidly around them.
