Nicole's absence causes a stir

Nicole has been away for a week but Michael is remarkably calm - after all, the Brodie family are well known for running away. He is convinced she will be back now it's her birthday and ignores Leyla's plea to call the police. However, when he finds out she didn't go on her school trip, Michael finally panics.

At the same time, Christina has received a text from Nicole telling her how happy she is, and so goes to visit her. Nicole's set up seems ideal. She is living with Stevie's friend Cammy, and Stevie has told his friend to keep an eye on her until he can get them somewhere to live together - although Nicole hasn't spoken to him herself.

Later, when Michael discovers Stevie is in prison and they are not together, he pays him a visit. Stevie seems to know nothing about where Nicole is and it soon becomes clear there's more to Cammy than Nicole thinks.

Meanwhile, Murray is determined to win Gina back and shows up in Shieldinch with a fancy new car. Gina is anything but impressed and can't believe he has squandered money after giving her a lecture on her own finances. However, when Gina confides in Murray about her worries over her dad, she soon falls back into his arms - but it won't be for long.

Elsewhere, Malcolm is due to get his results from the doctors and Liz is worried. She decides to postpone the appointment, telling Malcolm the doctor is too busy to see him today. However, the delay causes Malcolm more concern as he doesn't want to wait any longer. Liz finds an unlikely friend in Robbie when he tells her that he went through a similar situation with his grandfather - and urges Liz to be strong for Malcolm and face her fears.
