My skin was sloughing off all over, water poured out of my body, my legs were swollen up to look like elephant legs. Toward the end of Season 3, after caring for the dying mother of fellow nurse and midwife Camilla "Chummy" Noakes (Miranda Hart), Jenny decides to change careers. She takes a position at the Marie Curie Hospice, Hampstead. Though her decision disheartens the nuns and her fellow midwives, everyone understands it's the best choice for her to make and supports her.

Christine writes: “While working with the nuns, she learned to respect the power of prayer and was drawn by the tranquillity that seemed to emanate from the sisters. In the end, though, the life of a nun was not for her. ‘I could do poverty and chastity, Chris, but never, ever obedience!’ she said.” Jennifer was working at a maternity home near Hampstead in the 1960s when she took in a lodger, Philip Worth.
