Sioned and Angela are having coffee, with Angela worrying about Eileen;  she says it must have been hard to go back to that place, while Sioned simply dismisses Jim’s “ideas”.   Hywel has his check-up today, and thinks they should arrange to be ill together again;  Ffion texts about the head of music needing a reference, but Gaynor says she can deal with it.

Eileen does not look well, and Angela walks across to see her, then Sioned unreasonably demands that Angela chooses there and then between Eileen and her;  she insists until Angela chooses her , and they walk off together.   

Much to Jim's disgust, Sioned is making ridiculous demands

In Eileen’s flat, she asks Jim why he took the girls there, and accuses him of betraying her, so he could make them feel sorry for her;  she has no doubt now that she has made the right decision.   Jim replies, “When everyone was against you, I was there for you – I couldn’t bear seeing you like this.   Happiness for you and the girls came first.”   Then he storms off.   Later, while Angela is worrying about Eileen and Jim, Sioned is characteristically concerned only for herself.

Jim sees Gaynor having lunch in the Deri, after Hywel’s “all-clear”,  and reveals his split with Eileen;  as he suspects it will have an effect on Courtney, he asks if Gaynor will keep an eye on her at school.   Gaynor rather coldly replies that school is the last thing on her mind at the moment, and that he should speak to Ffion.   Jim is rather put out by this, and comments, “If you’re not fit to discuss school matters, what are you doing here?”   He then asks Angela to tell Courtney about the split.

Britt is developing flu, with a splitting headache, but is adamant they cannot afford to close the chip shop;  Madge has sprained her wrist.  When Garry first suggests to Dani that they could run it in her absence, she strongly objects, but he says it is a way of helping Britt and building bridges, also mentioning the perks:  pie, pasty, mushy peas and gravy.   So it is, when Siôn goes round to clean up, he finds them there.   He is reluctant, but Garry says they have helped out before;  it is an easy job, and they will be fine.

Ffion and Jinx are dismayed that Hywel is hijacking Jinx's idea

Hywel and Gaynor join Ffion and Jinx by the graffiti behind the bus shelter;  Hywel gives CwmFM’s support, and Ffion says the school could get involved, so Gaynor tells her to arrange it.   Later, Ffion visits Gaynor to tell her that the parents are wondering why she is not back at school.   In reply, Gaynor snaps that she will be back on Monday.   Hywel tells her that she cannot justify any more time off.

When Angela goes to Eileen’s, she finds her looking on the laptop at a property in Agios Nikolaos, costing £83,999.   Angela tries to convince Eileen that she can change Sioned’s mind, although it may take a while, so Eileen should not leave just yet.   When she has gone, Eileen makes a phone call, in English:  “I’m ringing about putting in an offer for the apartment in Agios Nikolaos, the one I saw last week.”
