Tracy Beaker Returns - CBBC - BBC

Tracy gets tangled up in Lily's plan to reunite Poppy and Rosie with their dad.

Drama set in a children's home. Tracy gets tangled up in Lily's plan to reunite Poppy and Rosie with their dad. Meanwhile a stray dog becomes attached to Frank.

Hoping to reunite the family, Lily has coached her dad Steve in all things Poppy and Rosie in readiness for his first meeting with them. But, having no memory of their dad, Poppy and Rosie run out crying. Convinced Steve would do better without official interference, Carmen and Tee help Lily plot a second meeting between Lily and her sisters - without telling anyone her dad will be there too. Tracy is persuaded to take the girls to the park. 

Meanwhile, Frank secretly adopts a three-legged dog that follows him back to the DG. The YP call it Shadow. When the dog pees in his bedroom and gives him fleas, Frank takes it to Sapphire who refuses to adopt it. 

To make sure the family reunion in the park goes as she wants, Lily loads her dad up with games, sweets and cakes, does his hair and restyles his clothes. Shadow is the perfect final touch. Tracy is angry when she sees Steve but gives in to Lily's emotional pleading.  Steve isn't used to looking after small kids and lets them eat too much cake. Poppy is sick, Steve gets knocked out by the swing and Shadow runs away. 

Mike and the sisters' foster parents are furious with Lily and especially Tracy for letting the meeting happen, and to make matters worse, Frank finds out Shadow has been taken to the animal shelter and will get put down if he isn't rescued.
