The 2 main patients stories relate to an expectant couple with a form of dwarfism and a second expectant couple where the husband is serious injured in an explosion.
Shelagh is first on the scene at the explosion near the docks and helps some of the injured, and sees the bad safety problems there. She is helped by a non-practicing nurse called Valerie.
Patsy learns her father is dying in Hong Kong and she need to be with him which means being apart from Delia (without a goodbye kiss due to an interruption), but their relationship is spotted by someone who helps Delia after Patsy leaves. We also see Delia at the hospital where she is learning midwifery.
Sister Ursula bans sweets and being nice and helpful to the patients but the nurses and even the nuns who have vows of obedience find ways around this.
Shelagh and Patrick tell the children about the new baby.
