Iolo surveys his handiwork

Iolo is putting up the decorations in the Deri, while Britt pins old photos of Garry to a board;  

Any excuse to go and see Sheryl

she says that Sheryl may have more, and of course Hywel volunteers to fetch them.   

Siôn would prefer something more traditional

When Siôn comes in he would have preferred evergreens and traditional decorations, but Britt reminds him, “This is a pub, not a museum!”

They are going somewhere hot

Dani is badgering Garry to tell her about the honeymoon, and he finally reveals that on Monday they are going away for three weeks, and it is going to be hot.   

That must have cost a few pounds

Then Gethin arrives, with a huge 3D television as a wedding present;  Garry wonders how much it cost.   

Dani panics that she has not found something old, new, borrowed and blue, but Garry dismisses this, assuring her that everything will be all right.

"There's nothing common about you!"

Hywel arrives to collect the photos, and Sheryl gazes wetly at him.   When Hywel says he does not have much in common with Garry, he adds, “There’s nothing common about you!”   However, he manages to leave without kissing her.

"I haven't got the money to pay for that!"

Angela calls on Eileen, wanting to speak to Jim, but when he comes in, wearing his dirty boots straight from the farmyard, and she asks if he will pay half the cost of Courtney’s skiing trip, he refuses.   “I can’t afford that – Eifion has all my money.   I went to Llangrannog when I was at school.”

Angela shouts at him and walks out;  then Eileen asks him whether he would have refused if Courtney had asked him, and he replies, “No, but I’m showing Angela she cannot tell me what to do.”

"How about yards of ale – about that long?"

In the Deri, Hywel suggests they could have “yards of ale”, but Siôn disapproves of it, calling it, “Immoral, spending all that money, just to get out of control!”   

"We need the money!"

Britt reminds him, “We need the money – or have you forgotten?”

Iolo is shocked by a plumbing call-out

Eileen rings Iolo to ask if he can look at her blocked sink, and he is unsure whether to do so or not.   

"I have to face my fears!"

He thinks of the filthy soap, hair and food, but tells Britt he has to face his fears, summons up his courage, and goes.

Eifion contacts a solicitor

Eifion has just sent an e-mail to “A Hopkins, Solicitor”, 

Angela is furious about Jim . . .

when Angela returns, raging about Jim not paying his share.   Later, as Eifion hobbles around, Angela tells him she has changed her mind.   

. . . and supports Eifion's plan to sue APD

“I want you to sue APD for every penny you can get, then Jim will be paying for Courtney’s trip!”

Gethin starts to get worried

As Gethin is about to leave Garry’s flat, and Garry has noticed his flash new watch, Gethin receives a text from Dean, “I hope my money didn’t pay for the TV,” which he finds rather unsettling, and peers out of the window.

"Right, here goes!"

Iolo approaches Eileen’s sink with trepidation, peers at the trap and then begins to unscrew it;  

Just like the salon sink, some months ago

inevitably, after an initial pause, the blockage shifts and he is showered with dirty water.   

Iolo is very pleased with the way he coped

As Eileen hands him a towel, he jokes, “Lucky it wasn’t a toilet!” and actually smiles.

Dani is panic-stricken

Dani appears at Sheryl’s door, saying, “I can’t do it, I can’t get married!   After the rats in the chapel, and the state of my nails, I can’t find anything old, blue or borrowed!”   Sheryl tells her she is simply stressed, and she will soon be on honeymoon as Mrs Monk.

"It's old, blue and you can borrow it!"

Then she goes to fetch something in a box, which Dani discovers to be a blue garter.   Dani enquires, “For which wedding was this supposed to be?   Why have you kept it?”

Sheryl tells her it is old and blue, and she can borrow it;  Dani is rather more calm now, and says she is not superstitious any more, at least not very.

Garry appears to be getting "tanked-up"

As the Stag Party is in full swing, involving large amounts of alcohol, Gethin receives another text, 

Another threatening text for Gethin

“I want the 4K back now!   No messing, Garry, or . . .”

Iolo returns from the plumbing job and tells Britt that he is glad he went;  even his father congratulates him for being brave.

The Stag Party ends rather abruptly

Then two policemen enter the pub, and Gethin jokes, “Your best friends have arrived!”   Britt shouts, “Strippergram!” and urges them to get their clothes off, but they address Garry.   “Garry Monk, I’m arresting you in connection with stolen goods!”

Everyone watches Garry being led away

The pub suddenly goes very quiet, as Garry is handcuffed and led out of the door.   Iolo is worries that they will be back to arrest Gethin and him.   

"Our crimes catch up with us"

Sanctimonious Siôn preaches to Britt, “Our crimes catch up with us – everything has consequences.”   

"How long will it be before you're punished?"

Britt is furious;  “I wonder how long it will be before you’re punished!   Or have you forgotten what you did to get this place?   Get down from your high horse, and decide what you want to be – a married landlord or a single preacher!”

Britt then worries that she will have to go to the police station, and Dani will have to be told.   

Siôn admits he has no right to judge

Siôn apologises, realising he has overstepped the mark;  “You’re right, I don’t have the right to judge Garry or anyone else.”

A laughing Garry returns to the Deri

Then suddenly Garry swaggers in though the door, demanding that Gethin unlock his handcuffs.   Gethin denies any knowledge, and Hywel admits that he set up the fake arrest with a couple of actors, who everyone agrees were very convincing.

"For once, I'm innocent!" he says

“For once, I’m innocent,” laughs Garry, while Gethin smiles knowingly  and Iolo looks scared.
