This week in Shieldinch… Annie’s attempts to free Faith from a life of enslavement enrage Rick; Bob and Kim’s family planning plans stumble when Angus has an accident; and Alasdair puts himself in a compromising position to pay Jules’ rent.
Annie is understandably shocked when a worried Faith turns up on her doorstep, begging for help with one of her  friends who was badly injured by a client.   Worried about the girls, Annie pleads with Rick to let  Faith and her friend go but he warns her to stay out of his business or face dire consequences. - What more could Rick possibly have up his sleeve?
Ignoring the threat, Annie goes to the  flat  to try and help Faith escape from her prison and comes face-to-face with an enraged Rick.   Annie turns to Alex for help and is horrified to discover her fiancé is already in cahoots with Rick.   Annoyed at Alex’s amorality, Annie calls off their engagement and turns to an unlikely source to help  her give Faith freedom.  - Who is the unlikely ally?
​

Elsewhere, Bob and Kim nervously await the arrival of their home insemination kit as baby making plans dominate their lives.

Angus and Cassie struggle with their self-imposed sex ban, believing it will help maximise their chances.   Determined to get himself into peak physical condition, Angus hits the gym but has an accident on an exercise bike which  threatens his participation in the baby making process.


A cash-strapped Alasdair feels the pinch when Suzie asks for Jules’ late rent.   Alasdair attempts to confess all to Jules but guilt gets the better of him.   Desperate to stop Jules becoming homeless, Alasdair takes drastic action to make ends meet.

This week in Shieldinch…

Maggie sets out to better herself but struggles to escape the sins of her past; Frankie’s eighteenth birthday presents her with some important life lessons; and Liz feels alone in marking the anniversary of Malcolm’s death.

Maggie is optimistic hopes of a new job at the Health Centre are dashed due to her drinking past.   Desperate to work, she takes on a cleaning job at the Tall Ship but Ellie and Caitlin have reservations about a recovering alcoholic working in a pub surrounded by temptation.   Maggie impresses Suzie but there’s trouble in store when booze goes missing.   Maggie proclaims her innocence but when Suzie discovers the whisky in her handbag, she fires her.   Caitlin is disgusted at her mum but Ellie is secretly guilt-ridden.

Elsewhere, Frankie’s eighteenth birthday celebrations prove tense as she snipes at her mother, Lorna, over anything and everything.   Greig tries to lift the mood by taking his daughter on a night out but that sours when she bumps into former friend, Jules.

Witnessing his daughter’s vindictive side, Greig challenges Frankie about her attitude and urges her to stop pushing people away or face being alone in adulthood.   Liz feels overlooked as the first anniversary of Malcolm’s arrives.   Molly and Alasdair are so wrapped up in their own lives they’re unaware of the significant date.   However, when Amber reminds them, Molly organises a surprise gathering at the Tall Ship to mark the occasion much to Liz’s delight.

This week in Shieldinch… Lenny is feathers are ruffled when young pretender, Rick Harper, tries to lay claim to his throne; Bob and Kim’s relationship hits rocky ground when he makes a premature declaration of love; and Suzie pits sisters Ellie and Caitlin against each other in a job interview.
Murdoch Enterprises becomes a target of vandalism which Lenny quickly discovers is a message from new gangster in town, Rick Harper.
Rick tells Lenny the Murdochs are weak and he intends to take control of Shieldinch.   Refusing to be intimidated, Lenny demands compensation for the vandalism caused but Rick is not about to pay up.
Meanwhile, a heartbroken Amber returns from DI Donald’s funeral, unaware she is being tailed by DCI Grant.   She tells Lenny she has questions about DI Donald’s death leading him to try and get a defiant Amber to leave town.
​Just then, a beaten up Alex arrives home, bloodied. It’s clear Rick’s threat is real and the Murdochs must sit up and take notice.
Elsewhere, a besotted Bob is in high spirits having new girlfriend Kim staying with him, much to Scarlett’s dismay.   However, when Angus jokes about Bob’s history of moving too fast in relationships, it plants a seed of doubt in Bob’s head.
There is sibling rivalry behind the bar at the Tall Ship as Ellie and Caitlin are forced to compete for a job.   Suzie sets ridiculous tasks for them to achieve and, in spite of a poor performance, Ellie gets the job resulting in Caitlin being sacked.
In short:

Lenny's feathers are ruffled when a young pretender turns up in Shieldinch and tries to lay claim to his throne.   Bob accidentally lets the L word slip with Kim and is worried he has scared her off with his declaration.   Suzie needs to make staff cuts at the Tall Ship and pits Caitlin and Ellie against each other for a job in the bar.
