Madonna’s family tree school project proves unsettling for Scarlett when she hides the true identity of Stevie from her daughter. Molly takes Scarlett to task for her lies and blurts out the truth to Madonna. Behind her mother’s back, Madonna turns to Lenny to track down her long lost brother. Lenny persuades Stevie to meet his little sister but he makes it clear he wants nothing to do with his mother, Scarlett. After Madonna and Stevie’s meeting goes well he drives her home to Shieldinch where he bumps into his adoring gran, Molly. With Stevie in touch with his family again, Scarlett reaches out to her estranged son but a happy reunion looks unlikely. Elsewhere, Frankie continues to blackmail her aunt Annie who decides to take matters into her own hands and confess her infidelity to her sister, Lorna. However, the moment is lost when Greig brings good news to the Roth household. Meanwhile, Frankie plays with fire as she grows closer to Rick. It’s the morning after the night before and Angus is suffering from a particularly bad hangover – or so he thinks. However, when his headache symptoms worsen, Annie refers him to hospital for further tests. Madonna is played by Sienna Glackin, Scarlett by Sally Howitt, Frankie by Louise McMenemy, Annie by Dawn Steele, Angus by Scott Fletcher, Stevie by Iain Robertson, Molly by Una McLean, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Lorna by Alana Hood, Greig by Glen Wallace and Rick by Alex Ferns.

GM/LG WEDNESDAY 17 MAY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS /BBC WEEK 20 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fuine/Cooking - How to impress, Ep 3/8 Wednesday 17 May BBC ALBA, 8.00 – 8.30pm Mairi MacRitchie travels the Highlands and Islands meeting skillful home bakers who are experimenting with new flavours and innovative recipes. They share with her their favourite recipes for something a little out of the ordinary, be it an unexpected combination of ingredients or a modern twist on an old classic. From Kyle of Lochalsh to Point in Lewis Mairi tastes a variety of delicious recipes. She tries cupcakes with a kick of gin and tonic - these ones are definitely just for adults - and samples an Italian Stromboli bread with its crisp crust and tasty filling of artichokes, olives and cheese. With fresh ingredients and some enthusiasm you can create something new and Mairi shows how easy this can be in her own kitchen in Uist. She changes a traditional tarte tatin to a delicious savoury dish using red onions and adds thyme to a moist lemon bundt cake for a special twist.
