Episode 3

S1 E3: When Annie’s denied a straightforward revocation of her adoption by the Hospital’s Social Worker, Joan becomes committed to see Annie’s baby returned to her – risking her job in looking for evidence of the baby’s whereabouts. Sidelined, Joan is forced to rally the Stanton House girls to help Annie in her quest to get her baby back and prove she is a fit mother. Meanwhile, Joan’s actions bring the hospital Matron and Dr McNaughton – co-conspirators in the baby’s private adoption – into conflict. Patricia’s society doyenne mother, Belinda, pays an unexpected visit and is dismayed by the conditions in Stanton House. She gives Patricia the opportunity to leave Stanton House but her offer has a hidden catch. Just as it seems that Annie may have her child returned to her, Matron drops a bombshell.
