Call The Midwife Season 14 Episode 7 Recap: curtain up
Just as it’s starting to get hot here in Boston, the autumn chill is coming on in Poplar. Our friends keep busy with work, family games, and car repairs (just Phyllis’ luck: first day back, and her tire springs a leak). But the biggest piece of news is that a date has been set for Joyce’s disciplinary hearing: the powers that be have upheld Bernie’s complaint, so now Joyce has to defend herself against a charge of misconduct and disobedience. Thankfully, she’s got all of Nonnatus backing her, but this will still probably be a fairly wretched experience. -

Call The Midwife Season 14 Episode 5 Recap: an ever-fixèd mark
In Poplar, school is officially out for the summer, but our pals are still hard at work. Reggie (who’s visiting for a few weeks) has been tasked with feeding Cyril’s cat Nigel. Sister Veronica, who was originally only supposed to chat to a couple — the Baldwins — about their kiddos missing a bunch of school, arrives to find mom Eva Baldwin heavily pregnant (and not on the Nonnatus books). Mr. Baldwin says they don’t need help because they’re planning to move for a job opportunity in the next couple of days, but I gotta say reader: I think there’s something funky going on here, and so does Sister Veronica. And last but not least, Shelagh stops in for a home visit to a gentleman who’s in an iron lung due to polio. -
