Series 8, Episode 20

Marty needs a job fast and turns to crime to tide him over, but he's not a smooth criminal, and using items borrowed from the Maguires wasn't the smartest plan.

Further details

Kelly learns that there's a price on Marty's head, but surely Shane won't grass...

Elsewhere, Billy is standing up for his rights as a father, he wants to give Cilla her second name. Mimi is reluctant, but offers him an ultimatum: to join her side, and she doesn't mean footy teams!

Billy is eager to please, but his devotion to Father Craig is rubbing Mimi up the wrong way. And Mickey's flat has been raided by the police.

Shane confronts Marty about a dirty secret he left behind in Spain and when Marty hears the sirens he runs. Kelly is heartbroken when she's told the truth, but who will she believe?
