Episode 7 of 8

Mother Mildred decides it’s time for Sister Frances to attend her first solo birth. Trixie consoles a patient who discovers she has gonorrhea.

Trixie cares for heavily pregnant Heather Pugh, who confides in Trixie that her waterworks are causing her pain. Routine tests reveal an unfortunate truth: Heather has gonorrhoea, a sexually transmitted infection that could cause serious health concerns to her unborn child. Mother Mildred decides that inexperienced Sister Frances must attend her first solo birth before Nurse Crane returns, and Lucille gets ready for her second date with Cyril.
