Leading up to Mother's Day, the team must survive Lent and are forced to give up more than just cigarettes and sugar. A thief has been pinching their milk as well. With some covert spying, Fred and Sister Monica Joan are able to catch the thief - glamorous, shop-soiled Tina, a young woman with chipped nail varnish and layered make-up. She pleads with Sisters Julienne and Monica Joan, explaining that she's been stealing milk for her pregnancy. Sister Julienne wants to help Tina and encourages her to come to clinic where they can help provide everything she needs, so she won't have to keep stealing milk. Tina turns out to be rather a good storyteller: she claims this is her first pregnancy, but Shelagh discovers her episiotomy scar, prompting Tina to confess that she already has a son, but he lives with his father in America. She is also confirmed to have a venereal disease, which brings her into the care of the maternity home. As Sister Julienne learns more about Tina, she is convinced that this woman needs help to become the mother she wants to be.

Sister Frances is at a loss when she cares for diabetic and recovering cancer patient Albert Calthorpe, whose capable wife Grace refuses to accept further help despite having to care for her husband, her elderly, mother and a daughter who has a three-year-old and is about to have another baby. Nurse Crane and Sister Hilda become involved with an anxious new father, Ronald. Determined to be there for the birth of his first born, Ronald gets on Nurse Crane's nerves during the delivery. It is Sister Hilda who tactfully encourages Ronald to open up about his own childhood and get to the bottom of his motivations. Meanwhile, Violet is given two tickets to the new hit musical The Sound of Music, but as Fred is not interested in the film, Violet decides to raffle them off with all proceeds going to the incubator fund. Sister Monica Joan tries several times to win the tickets but is disappointed with each go. She soon concocts a plan to convince the sceptical Sister Julienne that perhaps a trip to the cinema might benefit the whole of Nonnatus House.
