Look what Dani has found up in the attic

Dani has been looking up in the attic, and finds a dress bag;  inside is a wedding dress, which surprises her.   When Garry comes in with provisions for a picnic, as they are taking Gwern to Oakwood, Dani tells him it is a lovely thought, but it will not fit her.   

Garry reveals that it is in fact Sheryl's dress

Garry is somewhat embarrassed, as it is Sheryl’s dress, from when he was meant to marry her, which had been hidden away up there and forgotten.

Garry thinks it could be put back in the attic, but Dani objects:  "I don't want Sheryl's frock up there, like a cloud over our heads!"   He says it could be dumped or taken to Megan’s shop, but Dani is adamant that it must be returned to Sheryl, and she can decide what to do with it.

"Got my feet up in front of the telly – what do you think I'm doing here?"

Once more, Eifion is hammering on Angela’s door, but this time it is opened by Dai, who is working on a new damp-proof course, and does not know where Angela is.

Gwyneth is not happy when she hears of Gwern's day out

When Gwyneth calls at the salon, Sheryl tells her that Gwern’s baby-sitter is ill, so Garry and Dani are taking him to Oakwood.   Gwyneth is furious and says she could look after him for them.   

Gwyneth is angry as Sheryl shows her the door

She accuses Sheryl of allowing her child to be brought up by others, but she is not like that;  Sheryl is offended and shows her the door.

Garry quickly puts Gwern into the car before confronting his mother

Gwyneth finds them loading the car, and says to Gwern, “Lucky boy, going to Oakwood!   Can Mam come too?”

Gwern innocently says, “Yeah,” but Garry picks him up and puts him in the car;  when Gwyneth protests, Garry tells her, “If you pull another stunt like that, you won’t see him at all!”   He warns Dani not to feel sorry for her, “Remember how dangerous she can be.”

Siôn is taken aback when the subject of his sons is raised

As Gwyneth walks disconsolately away, Siôn, who has seen what happened, goes to console her, warning that it will take some time for people to trust her again.   Gwyneth rants, “Gwern will forget who his mother is!   What is wrong with people?   Sheryl thinks the same!”

Siôn tries to calm her, but she continues, “Don’t tell me you’re happy not seeing Macs and Huw!   Two of your children won’t talk to you!   You’re burying your head in the sand, just like Sheryl.   I want to be a mother and that’s that!”

"I want us to go at the end of the week!"

Siôn is hurt by the reference to his sons, and leaves;  Gwyneth, with a wild look in her eyes, rings Nicky.   “Come to the house,” she says, “I want to move things on;  I want us to go at the end of the week.”

Cadno describes him as "a clingy man."

Back at the farm, Eifion admits to Cadno that Angela is avoiding him;  Cadno says she has a business to run, and if he behaves like this he will drive her away – “There’s nothing less sexy than a clingy man!”

Dai, enjoying his tea, and the altercation in progress

The next time Eifion calls at Angela’s, she is there, and when they start arguing, Dai, drinking his tea, says, “I like watching other people’s domestics – it makes me feel better about mine.”

When he has gone, Angela asks how many more times Eifion is going to embarrass her.   

Angela has lost interest in her pet project, the Hafen

She tells him that she is not avoiding him, but she has lost interest in the Hafen;  she says his stupid jealousy has to stop.

"What do I say to Sheryl?" he asks

When they get back from their day out, Garry asks what he should say to Sheryl;  “Hiya, Sher, guess what Dani found in the attic?”   Dani tells him to leave it to her to explain;  Sheryl will understand.

"I can come with you to choose a wedding dress," says Sheryl

Indeed, when Sheryl comes round, she takes the discovery of the wedding dress very calmly  “I wondered what he did with it,” she says.   She assures Dani she is not upset, even offering to go with Dani to choose her wedding dress;  “Why not tomorrow?”   

Dani does not look enthusiastic about shopping with Sheryl

Garry arrives home, and predicts they will have great fun together, even though Dani does not seem particularly keen.

Gwyneth pours out all her woes

Nicky arrives at Gwyneth’s and hears of all her troubles;  Gwyneth tells her that Gwern will be with Siôn on Friday, and that is the best chance of getting him.   Nicky encourages her, saying that she cannot stay and be punished for ever.   

Marbella seems to cheer her up somewhat

She has found a place near Marbella, with beaches, cafés and bars, and all they have to do is send a deposit.

Nick poses as Carys, Gwyneth's online date

As Gwyneth has some worries about finding a suitable school for Gwern, Cadno comes in;  Nicky announces she is Carys, who Gwyneth met online, and Cadno is fooled.

Nicky orders, "Work your charm on Siôn."

Then Gwyneth remembers she argued with Siôn, but Nicky instructs her to make up with him;  “Just work your charm on him and we’ll be on a plane on Friday, OK?”
