Well, this week\u2019s episode of Call the Midwife is set to see the fallout and consequences rear their head for Matthew.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive clip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/\">RadioTimes.com<\/a>, the midwives are preparing for a talk when Matthew comes out of Nonnatus House to see a man looking closely at his car. He walks over confused, asking if he can help and asserting that it\u2019s his car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, according to this, it belongs to Alyward Estates and they want it back,\u201d the mystery man says plainly. He states he\u2019s a bailiff and hands over something for Matthew to sign.<\/p> <p>But Matthew quickly realises that the nurses are all staring, likely overhearing the tense conversation. \u201cI\u2019m not prepared to discuss this in the middle of the street,\u201d he tries to say in a lowered tone, but the bailiff says that he can discuss it at the police station if he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Shelagh (Laura Main) tries to usher some of the nurses along and away from the drama when Trixie comes out of Nonnatus House to ask Matthew what\u2019s happening. He signs the sheet of paper and is asked to hand over the keys, admitting to his wife that he doesn\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the clip for yourself below:<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"9fcea0e96f60343be3d0b294e3e7825241b4412c\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"9fcea0e96f60343be3d0b294e3e7825241b4412c\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p>Will Matthew be able to get through this spate of bad luck recently?
