Ricky finds that in the café flat, Meic has placed yellow tape, dividing up his side of the flat from Debbie’s;  she concludes there is something wrong with Meic.

Gaynor flies into a temper when she burns the toast, and later Hywel explains to Rhys that she is under a lot of stress;  they have never seen her like this before, and Rhys even suspected that Hywel had been having another affair.   When Hywel takes her a cup of tea, she is sorting out her wardrobe, saying that it will not do itself.   Later the two of them sit on the sofa, relaxing, and Gaynor says she cannot remember the last time she “did nothing.”

In the café, the internet lesson pupils are eagerly looking forward to the session, all except Dai.   Debbie tells Mark and Angela that she is putting into operation phase two of “Operation Get Rid of Meic.”

Sioned tells Ed that she is making a point of not wearing too much makeup, so she does not look too much like Angela;  when Ed asks her to be sensible, she suggests, “Why not discuss it with Angela?” and he walks out.   Later Angela comes to see him and he blames her for telling Sioned, then wonders why they keep ending up together, and Angela thinks they may have a future, but he plainly tells her she is only “my girlfriend’s sister”.   

As they hug, Sioned reappears, and after Angela leaves he tells Sioned that he never loved Angela the way her loves her now.   “I don’t want us to end up like me and her.”   Sioned says she did not doubt him until he lied about seeing Angela;  she does not care who he talks to, as long as he is totally honest with her and always comes back to her.   After they have kissed, Ed tells her, “Angela would never have understood me like you have.”

The tutor arrives at the business units, Dylan Hopkins by name, and Anita, Diane and Megan are very interested in the lesson, and him, but Dai prefers doing a crossword;  Dylan explains the rules of Twitter to them.   After the lesson, they say how good a tutor he is, but Dai bluntly tells him, “My wife fancies you!”

Debbie puts her plan into action:  she sits on the sofa with Meic, puts an arm around him and tells him she knows how he feels – he fancies her, that is why he moved in.  

Debbie adopts "Operation Get Rid of Meic"

“Don’t be shy, Meic!” she says and tries to kiss him, and Mark walks in, pretending to be offended, just as she had arranged, then hurriedly leaves again.   As Debbie goes on about their being in love, and begs him to stay with her, Meic flees from the flat.   

When he arrives home and tells Anita that he has escaped from “the jaws of hell” and that Debbie says she is in love with him, Anita dissolves into peals of laughter, saying, “Don’t be ridiculous!”
