'Call the Midwife' Recap: Season 10 Episode 6
As the end of season ten approaches, this penultimate CTM episode is packed with meaningful stories. A lingering concern gets a happy ending, an ongoing issue is bravely addressed, a secret is revealed, and the midwives continue their commitment to innovative care. You can refresh your memory on last week’s episode right here.
First of all, let’s review the financial rollercoaster Nonnatus House has endured this season. In order to keep services up and running, Sister Julienne partnered with a posh private clinic. When Trixie discovered the Lady Emily was not only delivering babies, but performing illegal abortions as well, that collaboration immediately halted. (More on that in a moment.)
When Shelagh came up with the plan for the Nonnatus staff to train pupil midwives, thereby receiving NHS funding and money for room and board, Julienne breathed a sigh of relief. Though funds were still tight, there was light at the end of the tunnel.
