The Doc is having a MIDWIFE CRISIS!
Martin disagrees with the holistic approach to care advocated by the village's midwife.

Martin and Molly have their final stand-off when Louisa develops a temperature which Molly tries to sooth with herbal remedies.

Edith has big news for Martin that Louisa overhears — Robert is going to offer him the prestigious surgeon's job in London.
