This week in Shieldinch.

Guilt weighs heavy on Scarlett as Stevie grieves for the father he never knew.

Jessie attempts to be peacemaker between Alex & Karen and hopes to settle the differences between her parents.

While Ellie nurses a broken heart and puts it all on the line for Amandeep.

Darren has Nicole firmly in his romantic sights.

Nicole explores the opportunity for a new job.

Stevie puts on a wake to honour his father and tries to get Scarlett to relive some memories of what he was like. She reluctantly reveals they met at a music festival where he was a bass player in his brother's New Romantic band. Sensing her sister's discomfort, Bernie questions Scarlett who admits that Stevie's dad, Sam, isn't dead after all - she doesn’t know where he is and wants to keep it that way.

Despite Scarlett's pleas - that she’s lying to protect Stevie - Bernie is furious and decides to tell the truth to a shocked Stevie.

Desperate to find his father, Stevie enlists the help of Sonny, but it’s not going to be easy as Scarlett has scant details about Sam to share.

Jessie is frustrated by Alex and Karen's constant squabbling, little realising today should have been their 20th wedding anniversary. Jessie turns to Lenny for guidance; he in turn urges Amber to intervene and restore family harmony. However, as Jessie is stung by some shocking home truths, Alex and Karen’s antagonism turns to attraction and they give in to temptation.

Nicole agrees to an interview with Darren at The Two Jailbirds. His flirtatious approach only serves to annoy Nicole, who refuses to fall for his charm. She's had enough of shallow relationships.

Also this week, Ellie misreads the signs with AJ, and is hurt when he rejects her once again.
