​This week in Shieldinch...

Sonny faces a race against time when he discovers Stevie’s dark intentions.

Caitlin is conflicted when her new lawyer suggests an alarming proposition to secure her innocence.

When Amber arouses Rory’s suspicions, Alex's patience is tested.

A dishevelled, broken and homeless Stevie reveals the mess he is currently in to Sonny, who offers him a place to stay.  The next morning, Stevie appears more optimistic and upbeat, but he falls short in his attempts to build bridges with Scarlett.

Stevie spends the rest of the day trying to right his wrongs and make amends.  On the surface it looks as though he has turned a corner, but Sonny has a sense of foreboding that he can't shake. 

As Sonny's fears grow he faces a race against time to find Stevie - before it is too late.

Elsewhere, Caitlin's new defence lawyer, Laura Haynes, turns up unexpectedly.  As Laura digs deeper into Caitlin's testimony, she uncovers the perfect defence for her client: blame Maggie for Joe's murder.

Alex and Amber unite as they try to find a way to deal with the devastating DNA news.  However, when Amber visits Rory in hospital she can barely hide her discomfort.  Rory grows suspicious but his siblings remain tight lipped.

Family disharmony looms large over at the Christie's house, as Lou tries to make Eve see that Dylan is being manipulated by Cameron.  As the brothers meet secretly, it is clear that Cameron has skewed Dylan's World view in a masterful way.  Dylan later spoils for an argument with his mother, who is taken aback by his nastiness.
