Britt bemoans how busy she is

Siôn and Britt meet Angela in the village;  Britt is expecting a bus-load of pensioners at the chip shop.   

Text from Eifion to Angela

Angela receives a text from Eifion, telling her that Bubbles is missing her;  along the street, former postman John delivers a letter to Meic which depresses him.

Dani checks for any more anonymous messages

In the salon, Dani keeps checking her phone, and snaps at Sheryl when she mentions it, then Meic comes in with the letter and shows Sheryl;  it is another visiting order from Kevin.   

Meic in an upset state, is calmed by Sheryl

Over a cup of tea, he tells her that he will not visit Kevin, but he feels guilty at the same time as not being able to forgive Kevin for what he did.   Also in the post he received tickets for a gig in Swansea which he bought months ago as a surprise for Kevin, but a lot has happened since then.   

Meic will give the tickets to Ricky, as they are not his sort of thing

Sheryl maintains that they must both now start a new life for themselves, and Meic admits that he will not be going to see the “Vegetarian Piranhas”;  he will probably give the tickets to Ricky.

Gwyneth is very concerned at Garry's intransigent attitude

Cadno is doing the washing up, and tells Gwyneth she feels responsible for Eifion’s accident, as he cannot cope at the farm on his own.   Gwyneth reports that Garry will not give an inch.

Eifion moans that Cadno is late 

When Cadno goes to Penrhewl, she finds Eifion on the sofa with his leg up, and he moans that she is late;  she looks at the list of things to be done – buy hay and straw, dry feed, service the machines, but the last item rouses her anger – Feed Bubbles.   “You must be joking – I’m not pampering Angela’s pet pony.   Madam can sort out her own mess!”

Cadno tells Angela a few home truths

When Angela arrives in her car, Cadno tells her she should do more to help, but Angela replies that she has a full-time job;  “I expect you’ve come for a ride on Bubbles!” jeers Cadno.

Gwyneth tries to get Siôn on her side

As Siôn is leaving the chapel, Gwyneth shows him the letter from Garry’s solicitor, and despite his telling her that he cannot get involved, she pleads with him to have a word with Garry.   “I’ve got no hope, everything is in his favour, and he is trying to break me!”

The chip shop customers, including John and Gwynfor, want their grub

Meanwhile in the chip shop, several customers are waiting, while Britt wrestles with the potato chipper.   

I hope they turned the power off before doing that!

Garry arrives and has a look at it, diagnosing a broken link inside.   Britt wails that it will take hours to cut the chips by hand, so Garry, Dani and Debbie volunteer to help.

Siôn, unsuccessfully defending Gwyneth

Siôn and Gwyneth pass the chip shop, and Britt asks him to take the money to the bank, but he is keen to have a word with Garry, accusing him of being unfair to Gwyneth, and disrespecting her.   

"She doesn't deserve any respect!" storms Garry

“She doesn’t deserve any respect!” Garry shouts, and tells Siôn to keep his nose out.   Siôn is unsuccessful in his attempts to mediate, as Dani joins in;  “You’re an unfit mother!   Just wait until Garry and I are married, then you won’t stand a chance!”   

Britt wants her out, before she spoils the pensioners' appetites

Gwyneth counters with, “Why not have your own child instead of stealing mine?” and Britt snarls at her to get out, as there is a bus-load of pensioners coming.

Eifion tries to get Angela to help, but she says she is too busy, and will only prepare the Haven for the next visitors.   

The possible departure of Bubbles amuses Cadno

She reluctantly comes to the conclusion that Bubbles will have to be sold;  Cadno, hiding outside the door, smiles with satisfaction.

At Gwyneth’s, Siôn tells her that he wants her to be accepted by the community, but she doubts that will happen, with Garry’s attitude.   As Siôn is about to leave, she says she will buy him supper at the Deri (where is the money coming from?)

At the Deri, Britt is relieved that all the pensioners got their chips, and thanks Debbie.   

Britt begins another slanging-match against her husband

Then Siôn comes in, and Britt launches into another tirade:  “Here he is – the man who does everything!   Debbie helped me, while you played the samaritan to a woman I can’t stand!   I can’t understand why you do so much for her.”

He reminds her that everyone deserves a second chance, but Britt continues, “Suffer little children – remember that?   I look after the children day and night, as well as a full-time job.   I can’t do it all by myself – all right Siôn?”

By this time Gwyneth has retired to the bar, then Dani and Garry come over to Siôn, asking a favour;  “We’re not sure of the date, but we would like you to marry us.”   He is only too ready to agree, and Dani says she always wanted to get married in chapel.

Gwyneth is unimpressed by the family get-together;  Britt watches her

   Garry pronounces, “Family should always stick together at times like this,” as Gwyneth’s face is like thunder.
