The local council threatens to cut funding to Nonnatus House, which may face demolition. Two pregnant women discover they have something surprising in common.

Sister Julienne receives a letter from the council saying that they will cut funding to Nonnatus House and no longer pay for their accommodation. She broaches the subject with the rest of the team, and a forthright Nurse Crane goes with Sister Julienne to try to tackle the issue with Violet at one of her open sessions as a local councillor.

At clinic, Nurse Crane meets and cares for heavily pregnant, bohemian Bonnie, not married but committed to the baby’s father, Eddie. Meanwhile, Petra and her mother Ada make hasty plans with Violet for Petra’s wedding to be brought forward now that Petra is unexpectedly in the family way.
