Me!!!
I know she is leaving at the end of the season so I'm wondering how much more of her we'll really see. And I'm interested in how the narration changes since it was all from her perspective.

I was a mess during this ep. I really was taken by all the storylines. The sister who felt midwifery was not her calling...the mother with agoraphobia... and of course the tragic accident.

This is such a good series.

She's leaving at the end if the season?! Noooo!! Is this like Matthew in Downton Abbey where he wanted to cash in on being the new big thing? I so, boo on her!

Not 100% sure, but I do think I read that she was being offered roles in Hollywood and that played into her decision to leave. .

And while I'm still mad that Matthew left Downton Abbey I also think he had been doing other things at the same time and wanted to peruse those. Wasn't he just recently on broadway?

I wasn't sure either. 
In the books/real life Jenny moved into a different medical area around this point so I'm not sure if they are using that to transition her off because either/both want her gone or are just going with the story.

Me too, and I never really liked her boyfriend. It was a good episode.

I was so surprised. I too never loved her boyfriend, but was so sad. I miss Chummy!

I just started watching (with this episode actually) and cried cried cried. It's been added to my dvr and I'm going to start from the beginning.

No the one that aired a few months ago, it's the most recent season of the show.
