One of the comments which are upsetting Dani, and poor translation thereof

On CnocCnoc, the comments about Dani’s abortion are proliferating;  she shows them to Garry, who immediately heads for Y Felin, with Dani following him.   

Garry's menacing behaviour towards his sister, Britt

When they arrive, Garry orders Britt, “I want you to take it down, apologise to Dani and admit to everyone what you’ve done!”   Britt has no idea what he is talking about, so Dani explains and show her the comments;  “I wouldn’t do something like that,” Britt snarls, “You know me better than that!”   When Garry will not believe her, she grabs her phone to report the abusive site to CnocCnoc.  This convinces Garry, and he storms out.

Mark cannot believe what people are saying about Dani

Mark has seen the awful comments the “pro-lifers” have been making;  Gemma is disgusted, says she feels so useless, and she has to go and see Dani, but Mark dissuades her, saying that Garry will look after her.   Mark has a day off, and wants to spend time with Gemma.

Cadno hands over the pay-off to the mysterious stranger

A stranger visits Cadno, saying he has done what she wanted, and asks for his money, being careful to count it;  as he leaves, Sheryl sees, and is convinced he has spent the night there;  

Sheryl sees the stranger leaving

“I knew you were on a date,” she says.

When Garry and Dani get back to the flat, Dani asks why he does not suspect Sheryl, saying, “Sheryl can do no wrong!”   He replies that he trusts Sheryl, as Dani trusts Gethin.   They are at a loss to understand who is responsible, until Dani admits that she told Gemma, her best friend, so then they dash to Mark’s, Garry hammering on the door.   

Next, Garry has a rant at Gemma, but she denies any involvement

He confronts Gemma, demanding why she put these personal things about Dani on the internet.   Gemma denies all knowledge of the matter, and Mark says she did not even tell him about the abortion, so Garry again is thwarted.   

Garry's idea of comfort food;  "You haven't learned to cut bread," says Dani

This time when they get home, Garry makes enormously thick sandwiches, and assures Dani that he will discover who is behind this.

"We never used to have this many sheep," muses Eifion

Eifion appears puzzled by the increased number of sheep at Penrhewl;  he shows Angela, who thinks the pretty blue markings are nice, but he tells her that green is Penrhewl’s colour.   

Angela would like to keep the ones with the pretty blue markings

She wants to keep them, but he says he has to phone round to find out whose they are.

Siôn, Britt and Megan are getting anxious, but at the last minute, two unfamiliar faces arrive at Bethania for the service, a stern-looking woman and her daughter.   

Siôn's attempt at a bilingual sermon is spectacularly unsuccessful

When Siôn launches into his bilingual sermon, it appears to consist of a few Welsh words, followed by a few English, causing some consternation in the pews.   

The congregation do not look too happy;  Betty has dozed off

Chester is texting the girl, who we learn is Llinos Angharad;  her mother shakes her head in disbelief, and Chester is embarrassed.

Llinos Angharad and her forbidding mother

When Siôn asks if anyone would object to the closing prayer being in Welsh, the stern woman says they are fluent Welsh speakers, and with her daughter, stands up and leaves.   She is followed by Chester, who had been trying to impress the girl;  

Catrin explains that Siôn has blown Chester's chances

Catrin tells Britt and Siôn that Llinos is the best Welsh speaker in the school, and Chester blames Siôn for spoiling his chances with her.

Megan never has been one to mince her words

Megan rather cruelly tells Siôn that he has attracted new Welsh speakers and lost them again in the course of one sermon.

Eifion tells Cadno a tale about the owner collecting the sheep tomorrow

Eifion has phoned all the local farmers, but none of them are missing any sheep;  when Cadno enquires, he tells her that their owner, “A bloke from the other side of Cwrtmynach,” is collecting them tomorrow.

Gemma hastily closes her laptop when Mark approaches, and announces she is going to see Dani for a DVD and a takeaway.   

Another message arrives, and Gemma is right beside Dani

When she gets there, Dani does not think she is in the mood for a DVD, then her phone sounds an alert, and there is a further message from CnocCnoc — while Gemma is sitting beside her.
