Episode 5 of 8

A fun day at the seaside proves traumatic for the Turners and puts May’s future with them in jeopardy. Nurse Crane helps a young couple cope with a rare cancer diagnosis.

It’s the summer of 1969, and excitement fills the air as Violet prepares for the inaugural beach excursion – her first key event since becoming mayor.

Despite the terrible weather at the beach, everyone is having a good time. Yet the atmosphere quickly changes when Lindy goes into labour. Nurse Crane and Miss Higgins drive Lindy back to the maternity home. But, despite a straightforward birth, Lindy and her partner Melvin are shocked by a rare diagnosis.

Meanwhile, following a serious incident involving May at the beach, Dr Turner and Shelagh are blindsided when May’s future with them is called into question.
