Shameless » Channel 4

Carrie, the new local and over-zealous copper, is desperate to arrest the Gallaghers so the crime on the estate will go down. The other coppers are too besotted by her to report her for unprofessional conduct and, at times, violent behaviour.

Carl prepares a birthday meal for Monica only to find her in a compromising position with Norma. Things look bad for Frank until Shane offers him a job selling ecstasy tablets from an ice cream van.

Karen is increasingly upset about how controlling the Maguires are and snaps when Mimi gives her a bib adorned with a baby girl's name that Mimi has already chosen.

Karen gives Jamie her engagement ring back and calls the wedding off. When the Maguires find out, they kidnapp Karen and tie her to a chair until she is prepared to change her mind.

In true romantic fashion, Jamie rescues her and declares he is willing to become estranged from his family if she takes him back. She does and all ends well.
