‘Call the Midwife’ season 6, episode 3 preview: Is the future of Nonnatus House in danger?
Tonight, “Call the Midwife” will be airing a new episode on BBC One, and this is one that will feature some major updates when it comes to members of the cast. You’ll get a chance to see Patsy make a huge decision, just as she and many other characters are going to be dealing with difficult patients. While there will continue to be the presence of change in Poplar, at the same time a few other things will stay the same.
Next week, meanwhile, it does appear as though some of the biggest changes that we’ve ever seen on the show are coming. After all, with the rise of larger hospitals, there are some questions starting to form regarding precisely how long Nonnatus is going to be able to exist in its current form. Meanwhile, the same questions circulate in regards to the status of Sister Ursula as a proper leader.
Synopsis – “The winds of change are blowing through Poplar, as a new government paper calls for the eradication of small hospitals in favour of large general hospitals. Dr Turner and Shelagh are informed that an inspection of the maternity home will decide its fate.
“Sister Ursula has her own anxieties about the efficiency of Nonnatus House, so she introduces a new 20-minute rule for all antenatal and postnatal house visits. Barbara struggles the most with this, as she is drawn into helping first-time mother from the Chinese Community. It soon becomes apparent that the shortened visit might have allowed a serious oversight. With the future of the maternity home hanging by a thread, serious questions are raised over Sister Ursula’s suitability for her role.
“Meanwhile, Sister Monica Joan is has started disappearing for long periods of time and there are growing concerns for Sister Mary Cynthia’s whereabouts.”
One element of this episode in particular that could prove interesting is the continued foreign influence on Poplar, and showing that despite having many different social and political backgrounds, we are all still very much the same. In this current era that is stuffed to the brim with indecision and fear, this is a story that is all the more important.
