Malory Towers | S01E08: The Push
Sally behaves oddly whenever her baby sister is mentioned. Darrell joins the remedial class, taken by Head Girl Pamela, to improve her grades. When Sally is again taken ill with stomach pains, Matron is dismissive, believing she ate too many strawberries at the open day. But Darrell believes otherwise, fearing she may have been the cause. She does all she can to find a doctor so that Sally can be treated. Sally had suffered from appendicitis and got treated by Darrell's father.
