Britt is yelling at Catrin and Aaron to get ready for school, but Chester says his visit to the dentist is unnecessary, as the toothache has now gone;  Britt says he has to face his fears, and Siôn bribes him with a visit to Garry’s garage afterwards.   Then Britt has a text to say that Garry and Dani have finished;  Siôn remarks that Garry had been determined to make the relationship work.

Dani goes to the salon and asks Sheryl why she kissed him;  Garry went there, hedged his bets and came away with nothing.   But Dani says Sheryl did her a favour, reminding her what a bitch someone is.   “Only one person counts in your life — Sheryl Anne!” she snarls. 

Garry wakes up on the tatty sofa in the garage, and when Gethin sympathises with him, he admits, “I love your sister, Geth – love!”   Gethin replies that he reckons she is better off without him, but she did love him. 

Later Sheryl goes to see Dani and reminds her she is the one Garry wants, “You’re too stubborn to admit he is willing to change,” she says, “You’ve always been scared of taking risks, letting go, trusting anyone.  It’s convenient for you that he made the mistake of kissing me.   You’re kidding yourself you’re being brave, but you’re taking the easy way out — losing all you love, to stop yourself being hurt.”

At the dentist’s, Chester summons up the courage to go in by himself; afterwards Siôn takes him to the garage, where Gethin agrees to let him help with tidying the office.   When Britt receives a text, saying where Chester is, she marches round there, shouting, and drags Chester off back to school, despite Gethin’s protests.

Dani is searching for Garry and eventually finds him in the cemetery, by Brandon’s grave;  she tells him she is not scared any more, and they must try to get through this.   Garry says he really is happy to stay just the three of them, honestly, and Dani replies, “We really want to be together, dont we?   I have missed you – even today.”   They walk back to the car together.

Britt rebukes Siôn for not consulting her about Chester, and he retorts that he has tried talking to her, but, “I can do nothing right – no-one can!   You can only treat people like dirt for so long!   Everything I have done for you has been thrown back in my face!”

Then Britt shamefacedly admits there is something she should have told him, the reason is the menopause;  he had already surmised that this was the cause.   Britt says she knows she is being unreasonable, but she cannot help it, and feared it might be something more serious.   She even feels jealous of Garry and Dani.   When Siôn jokes, “What are we going to do with you?” she replies, “Drown me – I’m an old witch!”

Garry, on his knees, says, "I love you!"

Garry and Dani are on the sofa, eating cheese on toast, and Garry says that despite not replying earlier when Dani said she loved him, he wants to say it now;  he kneels before her, she looks somewhat worried, and he says “I love you!”

“You’re so dramatic sometimes!” smiles Dani, and they resume eating their cheese on toast.
