Jim warns Colin he does not want the wedding becoming the "Colin Evans Show"

Despite Jim’s insistence that he does not need a best man, Eileen persuades him to ask Colin to do the job;  in the shop, Jim stresses to Colin that this is his wedding, not the Colin Evans Show, and Colin promises to behave accordingly.

The vitriolic arguments continue over breakfast

As Meic and Kevin tuck into a cooked breakfast, Anita makes it clear that she wants nothing to do with Kevin, and tells him that after what he did to Debbie, he should not have come back.   “Your father has been through hell!” she says, and Kevin retorts, “I believe that – he has to live with you!”   When she says his father is ashamed of him, he reminds her of her affair with Colin, making the divorce as painful as possible, and “going off with that paedophile.”   He says he is Meic’s flesh and blood — she is just some old “ex”.

Gethin is at Megan’s, where he is again getting the “benefit” of her charity experience;  she reveals that she keeps all her passwords in a book, as her memory is not what it was.   Gethin takes the cups back to the kitchen, sees keys hanging on hooks and helps himself to one.

At lunchtime the bickering continues:  Anita says she would rather starve than have a sandwich from Kevin;  he replies, “You’ll never starve, with that huge mouth!”   Then Kevin tells Meic, “Either she finds another place to live, or I’m leaving – your choice.”

Anita calls Meic a coward, and gives him an ultimatum of her own:  “If you wont get rid of him, I will;  if he is still here when I come back tonight, I shall contact the police and tell them what he did to Sheryl!   Send him away, or I phone the police!”   Accordingly, in the evening Kevin takes his bag and leaves again.

Gethin returns to Megan’s, ostensibly to collect the scarf he left behind, and replaces the key on its hook.   He tells Megan that the Western Post will be sending a photographer to the launch of Cegin Cawl at the units tomorrow morning at 9.30am.

Mark is very concerned about his second official warning, but Jim in the Deri says he deserved it;  half the wedding invitations went to the wrong people.   When Mark gets home and all the party-goers shout, “Hooray!” Mark tells them there is no party;  they can collect their goody bags and go home.

This angers Gemma and Ricky, but Mark says that reaching 40 is no reason to celebrate.   Gemma tells him that it is not just today, he is constantly grumpy, and she has had enough;  she will go and stay with a friend.

Courtney wishes Sioned had joined them for the shopping trip

Courtney visits Sioned and tells her she is glad she will come to the wedding after all;  the shopping trip would have been much better if Sioned were there.   She also remarks that at school, people have been “taking the mick” about her father marrying her grandmother.   This gives Sioned an idea, so as soon as Courtney leaves, she opens her laptop, and searches on chwilota.com (which appears to mean “Search”) for “Illegal Marriages”.

She then visits Eileen, who is trying on her dress, and advises which of the Deri’s menus to choose, also recommending roses for the bride.   Eileen says that she is so happy that Sioned will now be at the wedding.
