Episode 6 of 8

May’s adoption by the Turners comes under threat when someone from her past appears. Valerie’s cousin’s baby has a devastating illness, and Kevin returns to work with Dr Turner.

Fred has been growing his large marrows for the Poplar Horticultural Show, but is saddened when he hears that the event has been cancelled.

At the Turners, Shelagh receives a phone call from the Hong Kong adoption agency, who have alarming news. Someone from May’s past has arrived in the UK and is keen to see the little girl. The Turners must decide how to react as they hope to keep their plans to adopt her on track.

Meanwhile, at clinic, Valerie’s cousin Maureen is heavily pregnant and hoping her baby will be born on Thursday, the same date as her father and grandfather. Though they’ve passed away, she thinks it’ll connect them - but her due date isn’t so soon. Keen to bring on the birth, Maureen takes a big risk.
