ife in Poplar is as busy as ever, and the docks are kept busy with a flow of newly imported goods. But despite this, opportunities for work are waning, and Barbara experiences the biggest test of her career so far when a struggling dockworker's wife is forced into a difficult decision about her impending birth. Meanwhile, keen to improve her language skills, Nurse Crane joins a Spanish class, where she meets widower Tommy; a like-minded gentleman who shares her passion for all things Mediterranean. Sister Evangelina deals with a young mother struggling to breastfeed, encouraging her to keep trying for the good of her newborn child. Her advice has serious consequences and Evangelina faces a difficult decision of her own. (PBS)
