50a Emmet - 'tee' (shirt, returned) + 'MM'
51d Maim - 'a(dult) + i(sland)' + 'M M'
I assume the MMs come from a theme
They do, I think you C&P'd the theme earlier today.
They do, ff - from the puzzle -

Each solution includes a repeated letter, not referred to in its clue's wordplay.These letters in 52 of the solutions cover the full alphabet (A to Z) twice: once separately, as in EvEry, and once as a double letter, as in wEEk. The solutions to the other six asterisked clues require a third appearance of the letters from the word TALKER.

I gave up on the prize crossword. I did enjoy the Easter Monday one, though.
