Call the Midwife - Season 2

It's 1958 and returning from a long day of duties, Nurse Jenny Lee finds the Nonnatus House community gathered to wish her a happy birthday, before she, Chummy, Trixie and Cynthia head off to the movies. However the midwife's good cheer is short lived when the next day she is assigned a new patient, Molly Brignall, who is trapped in an abusive marriage.

The Nonnatus community is rocked when the Kelly family's newborn son dies tragically in unexplained circumstances. Cynthia, who had attended the birth, comes under intense scrutiny from the police, and the pregnant women of Poplar.

Jenny is seconded to a short staffed London Hospital to work on the male surgical ward and finds herself working under an intimidating surgeon, Mr Tracey. Back in Poplar the midwives have a new addition to the household, Jane, who lends a hand in Jenny's absence.

Returning from her stint at The London Hospital, Jenny needs all her skill as a midwife when she and Sister Evangelina assist at the birth of the Roberts' baby, who is born with spina bifida. The parents, Doug and Ruby, struggle to understand and accept their son's life-limiting condition.

The whole Poplar community pulls together to prepare for the annual Summer Fete. This year with the introduction of a Baby Show, the Nonnatus House midwives will be more involved than ever; especially Trixie who assumes responsibility for securing a celebrity judge.
