Call the Midwife S06E02

Sister Ursula continues to reign with an iron fist and the midwives at Nonnatus House struggle to toe the line, especially when she insists they must not be emotionally involved with their patients.

This unpopular new edict is immediately put to the test when new father George Marsh is badly burnt in an explosion at the docks and is unable to support his new family, and when expectant mother Penny Reed and her anxious husband Derek are brought to the attention of Nonnatus House.Penny and Derek both have achondroplasia (colloquially known as dwarfism) and problems with the pregnancy are anticipated, including their baby being stillborn or only living for a short time. As the midwives prepare the Reeds for an infant that may not live, their unconditional devotion to one another and to their unborn child makes a deep impact, especially on Patsy, who is facing one of her toughest decisions yet.Elsewhere, barmaid Valerie Dyer’s quick thinking catches Shelagh’s attention when they are first on hand to deal with the casualties at the dock fire. Shelagh is appalled by the general lack of basic health and safety in the docks and strives to make a difference to the men that work there. Dr Turner and Shelagh also share the happy news of Shelagh’s pregnancy with their children.

Riverdale

Set in present day and based on the iconic Archie Comics characters,
“Riverdale” is a surprising and subversive take on Archie, Betty,
Veronica, and their friends, exploring the surrealism of small town
life—the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome
facade.

Season 01 , Episode 01 – 
Chapter One: The River’s Edge

As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the
tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. Archie Andrews is
still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize
that he wants to pursue a career in music – not follow in his dad Fred’s
footsteps – despite his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young
music teacher, Ms. Grundy. With the weight of the world on his
shoulders, Archie must look for a new music mentor and turns to Josie
McCoy but she is focused solely on her band, Josie and the Pussycats.
Weighing heavily on his mind is also his fractured friendship with
budding writer Jughead Jones. Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper is
anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s
not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves,
which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice, aren’t the
only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge, arrives
in town from New York with her mother Hermione, there’s an undeniable
spark between her and Archie, but Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new
friendship with Betty. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom, Riverdale’s
Queen Bee, who is happy to stir up trouble amongst the others even
though she’s keeping a few secrets of her own.
