Time flies and so do Call the Midwife seasons! With only two episodes to go, we're already into the heart of the summer of 1966.

As we return to Poplar, Lucille’s colleagues, patients, and neighbors throw her and Cyril a sweet little party in honor of their recent engagement. The bride-to-be thanks everyone for their support and for filling in as a second family to the couple.

Widowed father Matthew Aylward makes another appearance in this installment. His nanny troubles have multiplied, and he calls on Trixie for some advice and moral support. She brings the promised child-rearing books (likely Dr. Spock) and tells him Fiona trusted him so he should trust himself.
