Further details
Paddy is back. Desperate to conceal the truth of his whereabouts, Paddy spins Mimi a lie, but he has vengeance on his mind.
Aware that his will-power to control his enforced heroin addiction is waning, Paddy caves to his cravings and secretly shoots up. Despite his best efforts to keep his addiction from Mimi, a suspicious Kelly discovers the truth - but will she tell anyone?
In the wake of Monica's abandonment, things are slowly returning back to normal in the Gallagher household. When Frank is informed he has inherited a home, the family celebrate a new start away from Chatsworth. To the kids' disappointment, Frank is determined Chatsworth is the place to stay.
After Kelly resigns from Lillian's brothel, she and Shane enjoy scamming unsuspecting male clients in hotels across the city - until a sting goes horribly wrong for Shane.
Karen applies for a wedding licence, and Jamie's suggestion of becoming part-licensee goes ignored. In retaliation, Jamie deliberately ruins her chances of gaining the licence, which results in all out war between the two.
