The religious medical drama revealed that Nurse Crane may be facing her final days.
Viewers watched horrified at the devastating domestic abuse storyline that unfolded in tonight’s episode.
A woman was raped and beaten by her own husband – and police could do nothing for her.
At the time of the show it wasn’t considered a crime.
The BBC show’s Twitter account shared: “Shockingly, the crime of rape within a marriage did not exist in English law until the 1990s, and was first laid out explicitly under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.”
Meanwhile Nurse Crane offered some much-needed support to young mum Nancy.
She also helped look out for her colleague and friend Lucille.
But in the final moments of the episode a trailer for next week’s edition played out – and it looks like bad news for Nurse Crane.
The Chairman of the Board of Health can be seen paying a visit to the midwives.
And in a dramatic twist Nurse Crane discovers that she is being summoned to a meeting with him.
She is left terrified she will be forced to retire, saying: “What if they tell me I’ve got to give up working?”
And viewers think it’s a clue that she will be given her marching orders.
One wrote: “Nurse Crane is the hero who not only rolls up her sleeves to help, but who still gives you agency & respect. I love her”
Another added: “Nurse Crane. One of the kindest and most wonderful female characters on TV.”
