Call the Midwife season 6 episode 2

Tonight on PBS, Call the Midwife will premiere, and as you look further ahead to the story next week, you better prepare for some more emotional stories and drama regarding multiple people within Nonnatus House.

Before we do anything else, let’s go ahead and share the official synopsis for the hour.

Call the Midwife season 6 episode 2 synopsis – “The Nonnatus team prepares for the birth of a baby they know may not survive. Shelagh shows her mettle when she is first on the scene after an explosion in the docks. Sister Ursula continues to ruffle feathers with her unpopular decisions.”

At the end of tonight’s episode, you saw some big news comes Shelagh’s way! We don’t want to get too spoilery for people who are stumbling across this article without watching the premiere, but let’s just say that her personal development is one that will not be going away anytime soon. She is going to have that as both a challenge and an encouraging factor for a long time to come. This is a courageous episode of the show, but also a devastating one after you see some of the people that Shelagh is fighting for and their present situation.

Meanwhile, tonight’s episode also delivered some big news for the Patsy Mount character. Be prepared over season 6 episode 2 to learn what decision that she’s going to make as a result of this. One way or another, this choice is going to shape her future both in terms of Nonnatus House and also her personal life. There are certain things that you do that remain touchstones for much of your life, and this is very much one of them.

As for Sister Ursula, she’ll continue to be as she’s been so far in the series: Abrasive. Things will come to a head with her eventually, so you should brace yourself for some of that. It’s a show where change happens one way or another, so don’t expect matters with her to stay the way that they are forever. Something will give, and the big question is how.
