Episode 703 (Friday 22nd December 1989)

 * SYNOPSIS: Susan wants to leave Glendarroch. Eric helps Fiona by feeding the pheasants, but he doesn't do it very well, and some escape!

Plot
Emma tries to persuade Dougal to give her driving lessons. He remains reluctant, but it seems she makes progress. Inverdarroch confides in both Dougal and Morag that he still wants children, but Claire remains reticent. When he arrives home later, she is in a foul mood. Lynne becomes increasingly frustated with Michael, as Sheila confides in him about Susan's secret past. Later, Sheila confronts Susan about the truth - that Isabel is Jamie's grandmother - and asks her why she won't tell Isabel. Susan says she worries it will hurt Isable too much, but Sheila suggests the real reason is that Susan and Jamie have nowhere to go, Susan having burned her bridges wih her parents. The episode ends with Isabel talking to a customer in the shop about how she wishes Jamie was related to her. A simpering Susan then emerges from elsewhere in the shop, presumably considering whether telling Isabel the truth might be an option after all.
