The funfair ‘The Hoppins' arrives in the toon. While Shane conquers a newfound fear of heights on ‘the bomber', Sammyjo and the girls are running for cover as ‘the curse of the Hoppins' strikes. Pure Ink piercer Carla is back from a festival, and after a mix up in the mosh pit, she's carrying an injury and wants anyone and everyone to hear her story. Sammyjo turns to friend Frankie for dating advice ahead of a singles night out, while at the salon, there is an unexpected staffroom surprise as we find out who is pregnant.

There's big news at Longlox. Sammyjo is ready to take the reins and run the salon so she asks mum Bev to take a step back and take some time off. But, can the Longlox ‘mamager' stay away?

At Pure Ink, Shane is left holding the baby, quite literally, as Jade needs a babysitter. Jade and partner Dan have an appointment for a very important and poignant tattoo.

Enjoying her newfound freedom, Bev takes mum Eileen to the seaside leaving Sammyjo to run the salon.
