Garry has planned a surprise for Dani, and tells her it is something to do with the wedding, so she is enthusiastic to go.   When they arrive at a posh hotel, Dani texts Gemma, “Sorry, can’t meet - with Garry on wedding business.”  

Eifion gives Gwyneth a stern warning

Gwyneth visits the farm, but is not welcomed by Eifion, and when she says that she is sorry for everything, he tells her he is in no mood for that nonsense.   “You won’t fool me like you fooled Cadno!   You don’t know the meaning of truth, and if you put the children in any danger, I’ll tell the whole village what you did!”   So she leaves.

Marian does not want to be picked on by Eifion

When Angela arrives at Penrhewl, Eifion complains that she is late, and there is a lot of shearing to be done.   Marian hands him his vacuum flask and says, “I’m going back inside before you start picking on me!”

Gemma is plotting, unaware that she is being watched

Dani’s text does not please Gemma, and while Ows is checking the barrels, she opens the Deri’s laptop;  she is about to type something into CnocCnoc when Gwyneth comes in and disturbs her.   Gemma pretends to sympathise with her, and tells her that people are even pointing the finger at Dani now, after her abortion;  “You did know about that, didn’t you? she says, feigning innocence.   

Gwyneth hears the news that Dani had an abortion

This shocks Gwyneth, and makes her think, as Gemma continues to warn her that Dani is still fragile, and not to hurt her.

Gaynor commandeers the laptop to apply for a job in soft furnishings

Gaynor, who is now considering a career in interior design, wants to apply for a job at a soft furnishings shop, and takes over the laptop which Hywel is working on.   Feeling another twinge, he tells her to take the laptop into the livingroom, while he cooks the meal, but gets out his mobile and phones the hospital about these continual stomach pains.   

Hywel contacts the hospital about his pains

He gives his name as Hywel Maelgwyn Llywelyn, and asks them, if his wife answers when they phone with an appointment, to say it is merely a check-up.

The posh hotel looks strangely familiar to Dani

Although the hotel and its garden are fabulous, Dani insists, “We can’t get married here!   I used to work here.” 

"We can't get married here!"  —  "Why not?"

Garry cannot see that makes any difference, until she tells him, “I was sacked for stealing!”   Then she sees the manager who had “a crush on her” approaching.   “Don’t I know you?” asks the manager, and Garry, quick as a flash, replies, “She doesn’t speak Welsh, she is on holiday from . . . Russia!”

Dani assumes her best Russian look, "Zank you!"

The manager, looking puzzled, says (in English) “Enjoy your time in Wales,” and Dani’s response is, “Zank you!” in as Russian an accent as she can manage.   They beat a hasty retreat, jumping back into the car in the rain and dissolving into peals of laughter.   

They find the whole escapade quite hilarious

“Zank you!” repeats Garry.

Angela works hard with the four shearers, packing fleeces into bags;  Eifion comments, “There’s only another fifty to go!”   By mealtime she is exhausted.   

Marian's food goes down a treat with the shearers

All the workers sit round the table, while Marian serves up an enormous pot of stew, and recalls shearing time years ago, and how she used to enjoy dipping the sheep.   When Angela goes home to have a bath, Eifion offers to scrub her back, and although she refuses, he still turns up at her house later with a bottle of bubble bath.   She tells him to make a cup of tea and bring it up to her, although she is not sharing her bath with him.

The chap in the background seems to be drowning his sorrows

When Garry and Dani return to the village, they go into the Deri, and when Gwyneth sees them, she goes to sit outside, where she sees Angela. Angela tells her that if she can be reconciled to Eileen, she is sure that Gwyneth can find a way back to Gwern.   Bearing that in mind, Gwyneth goes home, and returns to the Deri with a bottle as a present for Dani.

Dani tells Gemma that Gwyneth is dangerous and not to be trusted

In the meantime, Gemma has been talking about Gwyneth, and Dani begs her to be careful;  “Remember when Garry was injured!   I was the target, and Gwyneth arranged it!   She’s dangerous – don’t be fooled by her!”

Dani makes it clear that she will not be fooled by Gwyneth's lies

When Gwyneth comes back with the bottle, Dani puts her in her place;  “I don’t know what game you’re playing, but forget it!   You can’t deceive me!”   Gwyneth leaves, looking determined.

Garry wants her whispering in his ear, with her Russian accent

Garry tells Dani he is proud of her, standing up to Gwyneth and proving she is not a “pushover”.   “There is one more thing,” he says seriously, “Tonight, whisper in my ear with that Russian accent!”
