Barbara has difficulty in working out how best to help a young woman whose husband is out of work, Sister Evangelina's strong opinions lead to trouble, and Phyllis attends a Spanish class, with unexpected results.
Barbara is concerned when she finds that docker Johnny Beckett is spending time in the pub and not going to work as he tells pregnant wife Stella - but Johnny has a reason and a terrible secret which he believes will prevent him from seeing his new-born, resulting in a race against time. Sister Evangelina has cause to doubt her profession skills and takes a six month break from the convent when her insistence that Connie Manley breast feeds her baby almost results in the child's death whilst Phyllis finds romance with the charming Tommy, whom she meets at Spanish class - though he too has a secret. A budding romance between Barbara and Tom is more straightforward - as Trixie notices.—don @ minifie-1
