Now look, would I be stressed about making a wedding dress for a friend? YES. Shelagh, of course, jumps straight to beating herself up about not being there for their kiddo when she was a baby, but her husband correctly points out that even though she’s an awesome mom, and basically Mary Poppins, even she can’t travel back in time.īack at Nonnatus, as the squad prepares for another fun day of midwifery, Vi asks for Lucille to head over for yet another fitting. Unfortunately, this inevitably leads to a discussion of what stressed them out in Season 9: May’s childhood in the foster system and the uncertainty around whether she’d get to stay with the family. Turner talk about how happy the family has been this season. Whatever’s going on is also causing poor Dodger to lose her lunch in the alley outside the clinic, and while she pulls herself together as best she can, she looks truly miserable, so I hope our friends track her down soon.Īt the Turner house, after the kiddos have gone to bed (despite their vehement protestations, naturally), Shelagh and Dr. Turner, worried that their patient looked underweight and pale, which could indicate anemia. This is bad news: Sister Julienne had hoped to get Dodger examined by Dr. Sister Julienne: Yes, well, we repeat them regularly to make sure everything is ok.įor some reason, the prospect of more testing is too much for Dodger to handle, so she does a runner as soon as Sister Julienne leaves. Sister Julienne: Well, you’re here now, and that’s what counts! I’ll get some forms so we can get you all up to date, including blood and urine tests. While the Turners attempt to solve one of the biggest challenges of the modern healthcare system (good luck!), Sister Julienne examines a mom I’ll be calling Dodger, who starts the appointment by apologizing for missing so many previous ones. I mean, let’s be real, they’re both right. Preventative measures might be a good call here. Turner: She’s about to have her FIFTH kid! She’s exhausted now, and her blood pressure isn’t great. Why’s our resident ex-nun so worried? It turns out she has a good reason: with this many patients due soon, they might run out of beds! And given that, Shelagh wonders: is it really a good idea to give one up for someone who’s just… tired?ĭr. And if you promise to be cool, we could even let you out for Christmas. Turner: You’d be able to rest at the maternity home. Turner and Shelagh see their first patient, a mum who’s incredibly cheerful despite being very overwhelmed by all the household responsibilities of the season. While Trixie and Miss Higgins handle crowd control, Dr. Cuthberts overflow situation is already causing problems in the form of a truly gigantic line. Inside is a stunning locket her family sent so she could wear it at the wedding, which leaves both Cyril and Lucille in awe of both the beauty of the piece and the sentiment behind it.Īt the clinic, the St. Later, Lucille grabs the mail, which includes a package for her. If I believed in god, I’d be praying for a miracle right about now. Phyllis: Well, I guess I’d better start trying to beat my rolodex into submission. Sister Julienne: No - you need time to study, and time with your kiddo. Sister Hilda: LOL! But for real: what are we going to do? Can we bring back the trainees? Phyllis: I asked, but apparently most of them are due imminently.īoots, cheeky: What do you think was happening in March? Sister Hilda: Can’t they send them in the new year?
Sister Julienne, not a trace of irony: But our lists are full! There’s no room at this inn! Cuthberts has just assigned the squad another 23 patients.
The next day, at breakfast, everyone’s basking in the glow of a fundraising show well done when Phyllis arrives with not so great news: St. Wallace jumps into the fray, and with no time to spare: just as the nativity play wraps up to a resounding applause, Cyril and Fred set up in the hall. And guess who Cyril has chosen for his best man? Fred, who stumbles in, still desperately searching for someone who can sew. Wallace is more focused on the wedding right now. Cyril, ever practical, explains that it’ll be a good suit for preaching, but even Mrs. Vi, and let’s face it, me: Fred, I love you, but you’re less important than finishing Lucille’s dress.Īnd lest you think Cyril’s wedding clothes aren’t getting looked after, our young friend has a fitting with the input of our favorite church lady, Mrs. Meanwhile, at the Buckle’s house, Lucille, Vi, and Trixie are working on the final fitting for Lucille’s wedding dress when Fred Kool-Aid Mans into the house.įred: Help, my pants ripped, and I have to go do the whole Santa thing as soon as that nativity play is over!
