Episode 3

Sister Veronica is shaken when a mother reveals a terrible truth about her marriage, Shelagh cares for a baby with a life-threatening condition, and Nancy harbours a secret.

It’s June 1968, and a carefree Nancy continues to spoil Colette with new gifts. To afford such luxuries, Nancy asks Nurse Crane for additional duties, but things come to a head when Nancy is forced to acknowledge that her spending is getting out of control.

Sister Veronica visits the Talbot family and is delighted to see them celebrating a joyous occasion. Single mum Sandy has just married Joe Talbot, who treats her children, Peter and Ann Marie, like his own. However, Sister Veronica is shaken when Sandy reveals a terrible truth about her marriage, and encourages Sandy to seek help. Meanwhile, kinks remain in Sister Veronica and Nurse Crane’s working relationship.
