Anita is determined that she must get rid of DJ

After the weekend, Anita is not convinced it is a good idea for DJ to be there, so she tells him to look for a flat, handing him the local paper.   DJ has just cooked breakfast, which Meic finds delicious, and invites him for a day’s fishing;  “No,” replies Anita, “He’s looking for a flat today.”

Then she goes to Sheryl’s, admonishing her for not opening the salon, but Sheryl is busy preparing for Cadno’s arrival, and rather pointedly invites her to leave.

Cadno finishes her packing, and despite Angela’s entreaties to stay a few more days, is determined to leave for Gwyneth’s house.

Outside, after loading the car, she tells Eifion she will soon be fit to work again;  “Barbie doesn’t want to get manure on her designer boots!   Thanks for having the treatment;  it means a lot for the boys’ future.”

Then she hugs Eifion, with Angela watching in the background.   

When Cadno arrives at Sheryl’s, she is welcomed and then goes to collect the boys from Elinor’s.   She would prefer a place in the country where there is room for the boys to run round, and might have some chickens.   

Sheryl tells Meic he need not keep checking up on her

Later, Meic calls and is surprised to see Cadno there, but says that it is good that Sheryl has some company;  she assures him that she is all right, and does not need baby-sitting.

Angela is uneasy about all these lies

At the farm, Angela is uneasy, telling Eifion, “I can’t do this, all these lies!   You should tell her.”   Eifion comes up with reasons not to do so, and says, “We’re supposed to be happy – we have the place to ourselves.”   Angela insists that after her chequered past, she wants this relationship to be honest, “But we’re already lying;  what hope is there?”

When Eifion promises, “A clean slate, no more lies,” Angela challenges him, “Prove it, today!”

While Sheryl reads to Bobi, Eifion chickens out again

Later, Eifion calls to see Cadno, but again fails to tell her the truth, instead enquiring if she has settled in.   Cadno tells him he should be enjoying a romantic dinner with Angela.   

Cadno is blissfully ignorant of Eifion's secret

When Cadno pops out to the shop for some chocolate, she bumps into Angela, and tells her of Eifion’s visit;  Angela asks, “Aren’t you angry?” but Cadno emphasises they must look to the future now, and she does not want to hold a grudge.   She says that she thought he would be in pain for days – perhaps he is growing up.

DJ comes back, reporting to Anita that the flats were either too expensive or smelled awful, and that as neither of them is going to tell Meic, he might as well continue to stay there, although she is determined to get him out.   At the Deri, Anita pours out her troubles to Diane, who concludes, “Don’t say that living with your ex and your toyboy is getting to you!”   

Anita and DJ eventually get Diane to see their point of view

Then Diane invites DJ to join them, as Anita pleads with her to have him back at Bryntirion.   In the end, when DJ says it must be lonely for her at “Chez Sgaffalde”, she relents, and says that she will persuade Dai to agree.

Meic is doubtful that Dai will be in favour of the arrangement

When Anita tells Meic of the new accommodation for DJ, he is doubtful whether Dai will agree;   “He will, when Diane persuades him,” Anita says.

Eifion goes to Angela’s, where she is cooking a meal for Courtney;  “Everything sorted?” she asks him.   “Almost,” is his reply.

She is angry;  “I know you haven’t told her – when will ‘the right time’ be?   I’ve been patient with you!”   He tries to persuade her to go upstairs with him, saying he has missed her, (presumably Courtney is not up there) and wanting one more chance, but Angela is uncertain when, and whether, she wants to see him again.

Eifion, about to knock, before he thinks better of it

He leaves and walks along to Gwyneth’s house, is about to knock on the door, but then changes his mind and strides away.
