This morning, Cadno is feeling more at ease with Gwyneth, and Bobi is playing;  Gwyneth shows Cadno a soft toy dinosaur she made in prison for Gwern.   

Gwyneth seems to be getting on well with Bobi

She is pleased when Cadno asks if she can stay for a while, and she puts on Bobi’s shoes, while Cadno goes to get Arthur out of bed.   

Dani is desperate to make a good impression

Garry is urging Gethin to finish work on a car over the pit when Dani dashes in, wanting Garry to collect Gwern from school, as she has to make sure the flat is tidy for Gwyneth’s visit.

When Sheryl sees Cadno and hears that she is staying at Gwyneth’s, she wonders if that is a good idea.   

"Next time you go to prison, stay there!"

At the salon, Britt is having her hair done, and as she is about to pay, Gwyneth walks in;  Britt snarls, “Next time you get yourself sent to prison, do us all a favour and stay there!”   Gwyneth assures her there will be no “next time”, to which Britt replies, “Yeah?   Right!”

Gwyneth then tells Sheryl she not very fond of herself after what she did, but she has to live with it;  “I’ve learned to see the good side of people, and not to take life too seriously, and with friends like you, I shall succeed.”

Then Sheryl drops the bombshell that she does not want her working in the salon, which Gwyneth laughs off by saying she was not sure whether she wanted to work there anyway.

Eifion bemoans having to do everything himself

Cadno gets to the farm, where Eifion is moaning about having to do everything himself, and it appears that Angela is not really much use.   Cadno says that she will do the paperwork, and tells him that Gwyneth is back.   “You can’t live with her!” Eifion shouts, “You’ll have to find somewhere else!” but Cadno argues that she deserves a second chance.

Gemma putting more ideas into Dani's head

Gemma takes flowers to Dani to cheer her up, and Dani complains that everyone is now talking about Gwyneth instead of about her wedding.   Gemma tries to prompt her to find out if Gwyneth has been sending those messages;  “Don’t let her get away with it!”   

Gwern is back from school

But then Garry gets back with Gwern, so she goes.

Gwyneth is collecting all her things from the salon, and tells Sheryl she is really nervous about seeing her own son, but Sheryl advises her to make the most of it – Wil is no longer there, and is living with Darren in Canada, which was the best arrangement for Wil.   Gwyneth vehemently asserts, “I could never let Gwern go – never!”

Garry uncompromisingly lays down the groundrules

Dani is still tidying when Gwyneth arrives;  before she can see Gwern, Garry lays down the rules she must observe.   “This is how it’s going to work – you can see him once a week, here in the flat, Dani and I will be here the whole time.   He won’t come to you, so you can’t take him anywhere until I’m happy that he’s not ill at ease with you – and more importantly, until I can trust you!”   When she asks what if she disagrees, he simply says, “Tough!   I have every right to ensure my son is safe, and you have to prove you’re fit to be his mother.   Until then, he’s my son!”

Gwern goes to get his dinosaur, but then runs back to Dani

When Gwern comes in with Dani, he looks shy, but when Gwyneth shows him the dinosaur, he goes to get it.   However, he soon runs back to Dani, upsetting his mother.   He does not seem interested in her, so Gwyneth leaves, saying, “Be a good boy for Dad.”   

Britt comes out of the chip shop and taunts Gwyneth

As she passes the Chip shop on the way home, Britt sees her, and shouts after her, “Did he still recognise you?   You don’t fool me – you’re still the same old Gwyneth!”

Eifion reveals that Gwyneth was responsible for the attack

Before Cadno leaves the boys with Eifion, he says there is something she should know;  “That attack on Garry a while back — Dani was the target, and it was organised by Gwyneth!”   Cadno thinks he is lying, but he tells her that Gwyneth told him what she was planning;  “You can’t live with her – she’s totally crazy!”

Sheryl tells Gethin she is starting an online therapy course, but doubts if she is suited to helping others when she cannot deal with her own guilt at rejecting Gwyneth;  Gethin needs some cookery advice for the competition tomorrow.

Dani is convinced that the whole thing is going to blow up in their faces;  “The way she looked at me, I could see she still wants revenge,” she tells Garry.   

Britt is glad to see that things are not going Gwyneth's way

As he tells her that if Gwyneth does anything, he will make sure that she never sees Gwern, and she knows it, Britt arrives with a bottle, wanting to celebrate Gwyneth’s discomfiture.   Dani comments, “There’s no need to gloat about it!” and Garry reminds her that he told her to show some tact.

Gwyneth's Bible

When Cadno gets back to Gwyneth’s, she finds her sitting in the garden, under the washing line, reading her Bible.   “I’ve found hope in unexpected places,” she says, “There is hope, even for someone like me!”

"Did you hire someone to attack Dani?"

Cadno confronts her, “Did you hire someone to attack Dani?”   Gwyneth’s reply is, “I didn’t know what I was doing, and regretted it ever since;  I’m ashamed.   I expect you’ll move out now.”

Cadno says that she will not, and Gwyneth tells her that Gwern would hardly look at her.
