Loved Executive Manager Trixie taking on the board, and am glad we finally seem to be done with the "Nonnatus House might be shut down!" storylines. 

I just couldn't with the spina bifida parents.  I get that having a child with a birth defect can be terrifying.  You don't know what could happen and the challenge can feel overwhelming.  That their first move was to abandon the kid was just too much for me.  In a way, it might be a blessing, if only because that baby deserves parents and/or a guardian who will love her.

The parents of the disabled baby were infuriating. They "needed" a perfect, "normal" child. At least they seemed to feel some guilt. And on some level I was glad the show didn't have them have a sudden change of heart but let the baby be sent to an orphanage because it's realistic. Some people are just horrible. I kept remembering earlier seasons with baby Susan (?) a victim of Thalidomide, who's father had a change of heart at the orphanage. These parents were not them.

Glad those other children didn't die in the explosion, or something else terrible because mom had to leave them alone. Alf did the right thing in the end.

Please leave Nonnatus House alone for the rest of the season. Trixie was awesome!

This episode was heartbreaking! Poor baby June with the hard hearted parents. She wasn’t  perfect enough for them but at least the nuns cared for her and loved her. I hope she was adopted by a loving family. 

I’m glad no one was hurt in the fire and the family and older man had a happy ending.
