Episode 5

Sister Julienne and Cynthia are getting donated clothing ready for charity. One parcel is set to go to St Gideon's, an institution which cares for those with disabilities and learning difficulties. Jacob, who suffers with cerebral palsy, helps Sally, who has Down’s syndrome, select a pretty cardigan to wear to the institution's annual dance. Following the dance, Sally’s mother discovers her feeling unwell and takes her to Nonnatus House to be looked at. The midwives find out that she is six months pregnant, which sees some difficult decisions needing to be made.
