Summary

Sister Julienne receives an SOS from Holloway Prison, whose usual maternity workers have been struck down by illness, and when she and Trixie step in to help, the nun puts her reputation on the line to prevent a heavily pregnant convict having her unborn baby taken away by social services. Shelagh faces heartache when a routine pregnancy check reveals something far more serious, Alec has a confession for Jenny, and Fred takes the gang to the theatre to celebrate Chummy's birthday - only for the trip to end in disaster. Lacey Turner, best known as EastEnders' Stacey Branning, guest stars

Review

Sister Julienne and Trixie are called to Holloway Prison to dispense their midwifery services to a bunch of snarling, pregnant prisoners. “I’m ever so sore downstairs,” claims one, while another is loudly disruptive and picks on a heavily pregnant mum-to-be Stella (guest star EastEnders’ Lacey Turner), who smugly talks of her “fiancé”. “You’re a stuck up cah!” yells the ruffian, as the women get into an almighty scrap. But the midwives take everything in their stride, even tutting about the women’s lack of proper care.

Eventually, saintly Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) takes Stella’s plight personally. Meanwhile, on the outside, Sheila is worried about her “cycle”. No, she doesn’t mean her bike.
