Gallavich Trixie didn't want the rough inner city parish and realised she wasn't set up to be a vicar's wife regardless.
Yes but that is what seemed out of character. The idea that she wanted to relax in luxury when married just didn't ring true. She seems more like someone who would want to be able to get stuck in helping poor people in a needy parish, perhaps with health initiatives etc, rather than just being a middle class housewife.
PageStillNotFound I don't think you can judge the Cynthia storyline by our modern-day understanding - incomplete and imperfect as it is - of MH conditions.
What confused me was that sister Julienne was going on about how she needed to be with those who loved her, so why would they send her off again once she'd come back? And why would she willingly go and not yearn to be somewhere familiar? It's not just about what we know in terms of treatment*; it doesn't matter what they thought back then, it wouldn't change how she actually reacted to different treatments or environments. I just find her symptoms bizarre and not in keeping with the supposed cause of her problems. I actually find it quite upsetting and othering - it definitely feels as if it was written from the "outside".
(* Btw - the current psych system isn't actually based on what we know about psychology, either.)
Enjoyed tonights episode - poor nurse Crane! I thought the bit where she actually hit him was very well done, I was expecting a long, drawn-out, Casualty style set-up, but it was sudden, the way it would be.
Was a bit surprised the father mentioned drinking as a cause of accident - was that really historically correct?
The scouts/baby at the end was my max-cringe-cheese-a-thon moment of this episode but meh - love it all! 
despite all my moans
