- Doctor Turner is concerned by the spread of tuberculosis in the community, Jenny tries to repair a father and daughter's fractured relationship, and Sister Bernadette receives devastating news.
- Tuberculosis is starting to take its toll in the area and Dr Turner,backed by Sister Bernadette,makes an impassioned plea for a mobile screening unit to come to Poplar. Its performance is a success but Sister Bernadette is among those found to have the illness and is taken to hospital. Jenny's patient,former pub landlord Mr Masterson, is dying and,many years ago, lost all his family to tuberculosis except youngest daughter Julia,who has not visited him for five years and who is unmarried and pregnant. At Jenny's request Julia moves in to nurse her father and the pair are reconciled,Mr Masterson living just long enough to see his new grand-son.—don @ minifie-1
- Julia Masterson left home at a young age and never looked back. She has been alienated from her publican father who became inward looking and very sad after losing his wife and all of Julia's siblings to tuberculosis. Since her departure she's tried to make something of herself and now works in a typing pool. When her father falls gravely ill, she visits him but has no intention of staying on. Jenny Lee does her best to reconcile them and also notices that the unmarried Julia is pregnant. In the community, Dr. Turner works hard to have a mobile TB x-ray clinic come to the neighborhood. Tuberculosis spreads quickly when 10 to 12 people live in two room flats but the tests reveal that some in Nonnatus House is infected.—garykmcd
