Adam's wife Alex gives birth to their daughter in dramatic circumstances. Can he manage being a father and a Father?

Adam is intrigued when a local artist, Mike Tobin, offers to make a £60k donation to St Saviour's. Finally the Lord has provided a solution to Adam's financial problems. Nothing will go wrong (everything goes wrong). Meanwhile Adam ropes Ellie in to his campaign against some local litter louts.

Father Adam faces one of the biggest challenges of his ministry when a difficult new parishioner begins attending St Saviour's. The position of church treasurer is vacant and Adam has found the ideal candidate to turn the church's dire finances around. OK, so he has a conviction for viewing child abuse images online. But he's found solace, redemption and rehabilitation through the church. If the church isn't for forgiveness then what is it for? Meanwhile when Adam's own transgressions come back to haunt him, he ends up sofa surfing at Nigel's flat and Colin's homeless hostel.

Adam's shocked when he discovers that Nigel has reported him to the bishop for conduct unbecoming. As the archdeacon investigates Nigel's complaint, Adam begins to seriously doubt his calling. Maybe he's not cut out to be a vicar after all?

St Saviour's is closed and Adam is determined on a change of career. But can he shrug off his vocation so easily, and will his previous parishoners let him?
