Call the Midwife, s15e7:

Is it just me, or does every medical and domestic situation seem to be extremely high stakes this season?

Beryl needs to earn some money, so she's going to be Geoffrey's secretary? Why can't she be a midwife? What am I missing?

So it's not just hospital doctors who are a bunch of insensitive dudnderheads: some of the nurses are no great bargain, either.

For whom, exactly, does Threapwood work? For the NHS itself?

The Mulluckses are back — and all played by the same actors! I don't know about you, but I always find it heartwarming when a show inspires that kind of professional loyalty. (Former aspiring actor speaking.) But, Belinda . . . oh, gee whiz . . .

the waitress super randomly being the one to encounter dee in the bog really makes me think that scene was saying something about the general role of the female characters in sunny. like there's already the whole commentary on the family never treating women fairly and perceiving the ones they actively refuse to support or communicate with as shrieking monsters that come back to haunt them. but metaphorically the bog scene is framing dee as completely stuck in her situation and only sinking deeper in (her being constantly shit on by the gang and having no clear way out of that) and then the one other significant woman in the show appears as a chance to help dee get free (through forming a mutually beneficial relationship that isn't self destructive or alienating).

it was excellent how they had the waitress force dee to recognize her personhood by saying her name, thereby serving as a mirror for dee and the general dehumanization/sidelining women have experienced throughout the show. and when the waitress finally makes the effort to help dee, dee just perpetuates the shitty dynamic and uses the opportunity to keep another woman down to better her own situation. and all this is after the waitress happened to get dee's role on the tv show without even trying, because the waitress isn't constantly trying to overcompensate for everything because she doesn't have a group of men constantly belittling and overlooking her. she's been screwed over by the gang plenty of times, but she's not in the gang. she's free in a way dee isn't, and it's so interesting how they used this scene to explore that.

I'm not sure what else might come of all this but it definitely felt to me like the show acknowledging the hole it's dug for its female characters and how hard it is now to for them to climb out of it.
