Though we lose another one of our crew, we welcome not one but three more members to the family. Sister Mildred alludes to two newcomers who will be joining Nonnatus House, and with everyone suddenly feeling “the calling,” Shelagh has something else in mind. Maybe it’s something in the water or maybe it’s just Christmas, but everyone’s feeling it. Like Sister Winifred did with Neil, Shelagh forms a bond with little May, whose adoptive parents fail to show up at the orphanage. Worried that the young girl’s mental wellbeing could be at stake if she remains there any longer, Shelagh casually mentions the idea of becoming May’s foster parents to her husband. Dr. Turner takes all of 30 seconds to agree, because happy wife, happy life, and the growing family returns to Nonnatus House with Sister Julienne.
So while we part ways with the bubbly, outspoken Sister Winifred, we eagerly await the arrival of our new midwives. It’s been a long, action-packed episode, but we can’t wait to see what next season brings. Until next time, Midwife fans!
