The old pull my finger joke...
There was a moment in this episode when I thought Lenny had really hit rock bottom - really Lenny, stealing little boy's cups? How much do you think you'd get for that on the black market? Nah, actually he was stealing it to do a DNA test to find out if Ewan was Callum's father. The Mullen's won't be very happy when they find out that Lenny has been sneaking about behind their backs! But they had more important things to worry about this week, Scarlett had a check up which flagged up something abnormal - could her cancer be back? How lovely was it when Jimmy presented Scarlett with his cheapo ring? After fixating on Scarlett's ring all episode, Jimmy realised that he'd be "happy if she was wearing a rubber band as long she was his wife" - how sweet! Aaaaaw!
Tattie and Iona had a right old barney and told each other a few home truths this week. After venting their anger, they seem to of buried the hatchet somewhat - could this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Hmm, probably not. They're both missing Big Bob very much, when on earth is he going to come back?!
Next week you can look forward to Lenny confronting Kelly-Marie about the DNA results and Stevie getting on the wrong side of Dr. Brodie. Most intriguingly, there could also be trouble ahead for the golden couple Stella and Bob - what is this talk of Stella's mum and what has Stella been lying to Bob about? Ooooh, can't wait to find out!

All have a good, reflective laugh on the previous misunderstandings over a bevvy at the Ship. It's always a winner.
Don't know how anyone else feels, but Iona's planned sofa day shouting sarcastic abuse at a succession of Jean Claude Van Damme DVDs simply held no appeal for me and I'm not surprised it was abandoned due to lack of numbers. Not necessarily saying I would opt for a day out at the museum followed by al fresco lunch in a freezing cold park with Annie and Charlie either. My ideal compromise would be morning in the museum shouting sarcastic abuse at Annie and Charlie to the pumping soundtrack of a Van Damme movie, rounded off with a visit to what looked like a cracker of an old yins' party at the Community Centre - Liz's cake looked amazing (that's not a euphemism). This scene would fade out accompanied by Lou Reed's Perfect Day. I'd probably take Deek with me as well. Don't ask.
