This week in Shieldinch...

Bob struggles to come to terms with Kim's decision to leave.

Caitlin makes a life-changing offer to Ellie.

While Scarlett is stunned by Duncan Campbell-Baxter's attempt to buy her silence, Amber and Lenny receive unexpected news.

Despite Bob's assurances that he can protect Kim from her violent ex-lover, she remains determined to leave town.  Realising he will lose her and his son, Kenzie, Bob's fears turn to anger and he toys with the idea of a custody battle to make her see sense.  Angus urges caution, so Bob resorts to desperate measures to make her stay.

As hope begins to fade, Bob realises Kim needs freedom and a safe future, and sets the wheels in motion to make it happen.

Elsewhere, Caitlin tries to be upbeat to make Ellie feel better.  She tries to make her sister consider the options of fostering or adoption and comes up with the perfect plan: she will be a surrogate for her sister.  Ellie is thrilled but their happiness proves short-lived when AJ brings bad news.
