Sister Frances: She’s definitely very excited, so that’s good. ![]() Well, everyone except Boots, who obviously has a good reason to defend the young mother.īoots: I think it’s nice that she’s getting the chance to raise her own baby! Unlike some of us! This is clearly a well-trod argument that’s mostly the two of them trying to take care of each other, and Sister Hilda isn’t immediately alarmed, but look: I’ve watched enough of this show to get worried when someone has “just a headache,” ya know?īack at Nonnatus, the group discusses their day, specifically, Kiddo, who everyone feels is pretty young to be totally on her own. Ugh, husband, you’re one to talk! Sister Hilda, his glasses are wrong and are giving him headaches, and he won’t go to the doctor! There’s no reason we can’t help with your pain, even if it is only for another few weeks. Loose Hips’ Husband: She hates making a fuss. Loose Hips: I’ve started having real trouble getting up the stairs… but I’ll be ok! Heading inside, Sister Hilda finds that poor Loose Hips is in even worse condition than the last time she visited. Oof, I know we’ve had our share of young parents on this show, but 15 is just SO young, especially to be imminently living alone! Meanwhile, across town, Sister Hilda arrives at the home of her patient with the pubic symphysis separation, who I’m calling Loose Hips. Kiddo: That’d be great: I’m with my foster mom now, but once I turn 16 the council will give Dean and me a place of our own. Sister Frances: If you want, I can stop by to check on you? Turner: It’ll help, but we’ll have to keep an eye out. Sister Frances: Just remember that this stuff is going to make him EXTRA slippery so be careful during bathtime. Turner explains that Kiddo’s baby Dean has eczema, and Kiddo will need to use a prescription lotion, and a special bath soap. Somehow I feel like this backstory is going to be tremendously messed up, so it’s a relief to both Kiddo and me when Sister Frances agrees. Turner being maybe the least intimidating man on television, this gives Kiddo pause, and she asks Sister Frances to come with her. We’re all here to have my baby’s skin looked at: it’s super dry!ĭespite Dr. Kiddo: Same! Sister Frances, this is my foster mother. Sister Frances: Oh hey, Kiddo, good to see you again! That actually sounds like a kind of fun work trip squad, but before we hear more, a young mum arrives for her baby’s appointment. Anyway, back to work: how many train tickets should Miss Higgins get for the upcoming obstetrics conference? Three: both of the Turners and Sister Julienne will attend. Shelagh’s main complaint, hilariously, is Tim’s long hair, because some things really never do change, especially when it comes to mothers having very specific ideas regarding their sons’ haircuts. Tim dodges the question, which I guess makes sense given that both of his parents and at least two of his tiny siblings are present. When everyone heads out to complete their tasks, Boots slowly follows, taking the paper with her.Īcross town, guess who’s got mono? Yes, it’s young Tim, who has of course already figured out his diagnosis and isn’t particularly amused by Shelagh’s “ooooh, don’t they call that the kissing disease?” from the kitchen. Boots?īut Boots is still too deeply engrossed in the newspaper to pay attention properly. ![]() Sister Hilda: Anyway, to business: Lucille, you’re on hospital duty, Sister Frances, you’re at the maternity home, I’ve got a mum with pubic symphysis separation, and Boots, you’ve got a bunch of new mums to visit. Sister Frances: Anything that puts us closer to ending back-alley abortions is good news. Sister Hilda: Yeah, but it’ll take at least another year until it goes into effect. Before they can start their day, Boots reads the latest headline regarding the 1967 Abortion Act.īoots: It passed in the house of commons - does that mean it’s legal now? By contrast, Lucille is looking a whole lot better, smiling broadly as she meets up with the rest of the group at Nonnatus. However, the rest of the squad seems pretty chill, with the exception of young Timothy Turner, who’s returned from school wretchedly sick. Last week ended on a bit of a somber note, and I know Sister Monica Joan, at least, shares my low key constant worry that something bad is going to happen in the next two episodes. Ready? Take a deep (lamaze) breath, and prepare yourself for Season 11! Need a refresher on what happened last season? Check out our Season Holiday Special recaps here.
