Ffion reads, "Hope you suffer like I have"

Ffion finally opens one of the letters, “Hope you suffer like I have,” and Jinx tells her the whole story;  she is frantic when she hears one was in Arwen’s pram.   

Ffion finds out about Jinx's anonymous letter problems

“There’s a nutter out there, and our daughter is in danger;  you must have done something to make them this angry.”   

Ffion takes Arwen round to Britt's, "where she will be safe."

Ffion hurries takes Arwen round to Britt’s, “where she will be safe,” and Siôn says that Jinx was not himself yesterday;  Ffion reveals what has happened, and Siôn considers it a cowardly thing to do, while Britt just looks sheepish.   When Ffion has gone, Siôn tells Britt that whoever has done this is sick in the head – there is no justification.

Mark, on his post round, has just delivered to Graham and Thomas Solicitors when Anita returns a wrongly delivered letter.   Gwynfor tells Jim he cannot come to the wedding, but says two invitations is a bit over the top;  then Jim catches up with Mark and tells him he will make an official complaint.   

Jim is definitely making an official complaint about Mark's performance

Mark pleads with him, but Jim’s mind is made up.   When Mark gets home, Gemma cooks him a late breakfast;  he is quiet, and will not admit to her that anything is wrong.

Anita goes to the salon, and tries to convince Sheryl that she ought to go to the police about Kevin, suggesting that he is a danger to other women.   

Anita urges Sheryl to go to the police about Kevin, to save other women

Sheryl is anxious to forget the whole thing and wishes others would too.   She goes to see Meic, asking what is going on, but Meic will not tell her the whole story.   When Anita returns home, she is adamant that it is everyone’s problem while Kevin is free, and she does not want anyone suffering any more.

As CwmFM is playing a record for “Jinx, our missing DJ,” Ffion finds him packing a bag;  “They want me – if I leave, Arwen will be safe!” he says, but Ffion tells him that Arwen needs her dad, and that she will go and take all the letters to the police.   While she has gone, Britt brings Arwen home, and says that she has heard about the letters.   Jinx says that he has brought something bad to the house, something he cannot control.   “Have you no idea why someone would send those letters,” queries Britt, “Something you said on the radio, maybe?”

Ffion returns, and is panicking about keeping her family safe;  Jinx says he will have to leave, as fathers are supposed to keep their family safe, and he cannot.   

Jinx, incredulous that it was Britt who sent the anonymous letters

Britt tells him, “Don’t leave – they won’t hurt your family!” and then admits, “I sent the letters.”   However she blames him, as the “Children of Murderers” programme was what started it.   She is scared of what would happen if people found out that Owen was Aaron’s father.   Jinx shouts, “You didn’t have guts to talk to me like Gemma did, you were a coward.   You’re off your head – get out!”   

Ffion, on the other hand, having been married to Owen, can understand Britt’s feeling, and is ominously silent.   Britt asks if they will report this to the police, and Jinx says that she is scared now, and she knows how he felt.

As Britt leaves, she meets Siôn, coming out of Bethania, and he tells her he has been told by the court that they will hear about the Parental Responsibility in the next week.   He says he is proud of the children, and proud to be Britt’s husband.
