It turned out her kids had German measles (rubella) which means, before she even knew she was pregnant, Maureen probably suffered a very mild case. It’s a little confusing, but then, by this point in the episode I was pretty distracted moving through an entire box of tissues.Strap in, folks, because this is a rough one.At the show itself, Sister MJ has prepared a garden to pay homage to St Raymond Nonnatus. Or pets or partners or plants we’re particularly attached to, so that those we care about know they’re loved?And might I just say: Maureen is a CHAMP. The baby is sent to the hospital for tests.The Turners go to Sister Julienne and beg her to intervene. She thanks him sincerely.Let’s get the lighter stuff out of the way first.Everyone’s super blissed about little baby Warren, but within a couple of days it becomes clear that something’s off. )This leaves May and the Turners in limbo. Charlie, too. It's August in Poplar and the sunflowers and marrow are thriving. It is, of course, a photo of Warren, looking perfect on the last day he was alive. Fred is saddened when he hears that the Poplar Horticultural Show has been cancelled because he has been growing his large marrows. They’re both busy.
Okay here we go…Charlie Bryant brings Lucille a photo of Warren as a touching and unspoken thank you.The situation escalates with Esther refusing to give her consent for May to be adopted. He’s not feeding well, he’s floppy, and there’s a strange cast to his eyes.
Miss Higgins is super bitchy to him for no reason. The reason is never really provided.
At this point I figure my neighbours are getting concerned.All right, let’s bring this home.Esther melts down (undersandably) and starts lashing out, accusing the Turners and the adoption agency of having turned her child against her.
She says Warren isn’t feeding and he’s floppy.
They’re so sweet, and decent, and loving that it makes this whole situation all the more gut-wrenching. She wants her older children to see Warren as a normal part of their happy family. You guys ok?
Dr. Turner comes to flat to issue the death certificate as the Bryants say their goodbyes.
The infant won’t survive more than a few weeks.There’s also the matter of Sister Frances and her women’s troubles.
Dr. Turner gently explains that he and Lucille will support them in Warren’s care and agrees the child’s quality of life will be better with his family.
Tis the season for "Call the Midwife" holiday cheer - get your first look at the preview for the 2019 Christmas special! They even decide to have a celebration for him just as they did when the others were born.Julienne agrees to help and she and Esther meet in the park.
The couple try to look on the bright side and make the best of the situation they are in.That night, the entire Bryant family cuddles up in bed going over the memories of the lovely day. Her medical notes yield no answers.
They act like complete strangers, which is odd.Fred is super bummed that the annual horticultural show has been cancelled at the last minute for reasons that we never learn. That’s this week’s PSA. It was beautiful, and handled well, but still feels like a gut punch. Nonnatus House welcomes four male junior doctors to live and work among the midwives while Fred tries to help a sick man whose home is to be demolished. Share. Sadly in the morning, Maureen reaches over to the bassinet to take Warren’s hand only to find her baby has died in his sleep. I guess the adoption charity is Mae’s legal guardian in Britain? Warren is lovingly placed in his bassinette at his parents’ bedside.
