Episode Guide

Archie was mighty cheerful but little did Gina know that it's cos he'd slept with Niamh! He headed out for a meeting with his lawyer and Gina was perturbed to find out he hadn't told her they had a possible court date. Liz reckoned it was wiser to keep out of it. Buoyed by the news it looks like he'll have a friendly judge, he tried to work his charm on Niamh again. Yvonne was horrified to realise Niamh is wasting time on Archie again but Niamh did her best to push him away. But she melted and they ended up kissing again. Scarlett tried to get Bob to stop moping but Jimmy told her to cut him some slack. She yelled at him and bluntly reminded him that Bob isn't his son. Hurt, he stormed out and it was down to Gina to make Scarlett see sense. She apologised to him later and all was well. When he left he gave Madonna a wee kiss and planted an innocent-looking smacker on Scarlett's head.

It was enough to fluster her though! Bob was gutted he'd lost Charlie and she didn't seem any happier. But Jean made sure Charlie didn't go near him. There was a lot of snogging in Shieldinch tonight! Jamie was still trying to pluck up the courage to ask Nicki out and they found themselves sitting on opposite ends of the sofa, in awkward silence. But Nicki saw through him and pre-empted the question (much more successfully than Charlie last week!). She said yes to the date question he hadn't asked so he found the guts to ask it and they, yup you guessed it, snogged.

It looked like Shirley took Deek's advice and was moving on. Zoe apologised to her for the other day and told her they're family and will always be there for her. Billy invited Tina out for dinner and was very surprised when she agreed with no worries about the kids! With Scott booked as babysitter, she got ready to go out and managed to ignore Paul's narky comments. But when Billy arrived, he dropped a clanger. "Are you going to have sex with my mum?" You should've SEEN Tina's face! Billy told him it's none of his business and, mortified, Tina shuffled him out the flat. As it turned out, Paul wasn't spot on. After a lovely night out, Tina went back to Billy's for a nightcap and a wee dance, and they ended up snogging. Tina then took Billy by the hand and led him to the bedroom…
