Diane and Gaynor are at the gym, when Diane mentions that the coach there works as a part-time strippagram;  this gives Gaynor an idea, and before they leave for Chepstow races, with DJ, she raises the subject of a male strip group, like The Full Monty, with Hywel;  the purpose being to raise funds for the Soup Kitchen, but Hywel is reluctant to strip off.

The Western Post story which Eileen is very unhappy about

When Angela comes into the Deri, Sioned shows her the Western Post, with the headline, “Brave Grandmother Saves Grand-daughter”;  Angela points out that if Sioned had spoken to her mother, she would have got the truth, that Eileen is furious, because it was published without her permission.   When Angela states that she is glad it is all out in the open now, Sioned again says, “Mam is to blame for all this mess!”   

Sioned tells Angela there are things about Eifion she does not know

She also remarks that Angela is spending a lot of time at Penrhewl lately, and that she ought to tell Angela a few things about Eifion;  Angela reveals that she knows all about those things – Eifion has been open and honest – and she, in turn, offers to tell Sioned a few things about Ed.

At APD, Dai learns from Eifion that the injury to DJ’s nose was caused, not as he told Dai, by a misbehaving sheep, but a fight in Cardiff;  however, Eifion stresses that he is a great cook.   Then Colin comes in, boasting of winning £75 on an online casino, but Dai tells him betting is for mugs;  

Colin's advice is to give Eileen some time

Colin advises Jim to give Eileen some time, before seeing her again.   Dai tactlessly tells Jim he is better off without Eileen, and that he is going on a holiday to Spain.

Colin, about to lose £50 on Roulette

Colin manages to lose £50 on online Roulette, but as Gethin and Iolo head to the Deri, he is this time betting on Virtual Dogs, which apparently nets him £250.   At the Deri after the races, where she tells Hywel she saw many wonderful cars, including a Lambourghini, Gaynor is announcing her plan for a strip group, which Hywel is not keen about, but several others are enthusiastic;  Gaynor does not consider Colin to be suitable, for some reason.   When he gets home, Iolo puts some music on, and invites Colin to show what he can do;  Colin wildly gyrates and starts removing his clothes, shouting, “I need an audience!” to which Gethin replies, “You need a doctor!”

Colin's stripping routine, which amuses Gethin and iolo

Diane and DJ meet Dai at another pub after the day at the races, and reveal that Gaynor has made a serious amount of money there.   When Dai visits the toilet, Diane tells DJ that things are not well between her and Dai, mentioning the Christmas Day episode with Shirley, and she suspects he might go off with someone in Spain.   

Dai, eavesdropping on the conversation between Diane and DJ

Dai hears this from round the corner, and when they get home and Diane has gone to bed, he tells DJ that he wants him out, as a matter of urgency.   DJ smiles knowingly at him and says, “You think I fancy Diane, don’t you?”   He decides to go to bed, ignoring Dai’s demands that he set a date for his departure.
