As a grieving Tom considers his future Sister Monica Joan wanders into a cinema, meeting projectionist Stanley Hodgkiss. His daughter Olive, separated from her husband, is heavily pregnant but is annoyed that her father is more concerned for his old friend Donald, a dementia sufferer. With the local maternity hospital closed down the midwives are under extra pressure and Phyllis crosses swords with cheeky teenager Josie Winterlee but is there for her when it counts. As with Olive and Stanley a new arrival brings reconciliation and the staff assemble for the memorable occasion that is Sister Monica Joan's birthday.
