Palmed off by Nina in favour of her niece, Rana tries to throw herself into work to cover her hurt. However, when a new drugs gang rolls into town, the finger of suspicion begins to point at her own mother - leaving Rana rushing to work out what's going on before dull policeman Pickles gets there first. When Grace gets a part in a play, she wants Craig to be her chaperone, rather than Toni. Thrown into the dog-eat-dog world of kids' theatre, the normally placid Craig has to rise to the challenge of becoming a stage dad.
