Garry is not happy that Dean is standing in for Steve

Garry has a visit from Dean (last encountered during the “fake designer handbags” affair) who announces he is standing in for Steve on this latest job.   Garry is not happy about this development, but hands over a key, and issues instructions;  

Garry warns him not to touch Dani

“One o’clock at the Black Lion, let Dani take the keys and give her time to get back here.   And, if you so much as touch her . . .”

"Time to go to nursery!"

Ffion tells Arwen they must go, or they will be late;  “You haven’t seen your friends for almost a week.”   

"I'm so relieved"

She tells Gethin she is so relieved to have Arwen home.   

"The worst is over now"

Gethin replies, “The worst is over now – just give Jinx time to accept we’re together.

“Hywel is letting him stay at the salon – I don’t know what I’d have done without him,” says Ffion, as Gethin grimaces.   

Well, Ffion certainly looks happier than of late

However he puts on a brave face as he tells her he is looking forward to spending a lot more time with her and Arwen, “My new family,” and kisses her.

Jinx is given his instructions

At the salon, Hywel briefs Jinx , “As far as the listeners know, you’ve been ill in bed.”   

Hywel is concerned when he hears where Sheryl has gone

Then Hywel asks Dani where Sheryl is, and after initial prevarication, she informs him that she is visiting the consultant.   He looks aghast and leaves very rapidly.

Gwyneth continues to impress Jim, at least . . .

When Dai and Jim arrive at APD, they find Gwyneth already there;  “Been here all night?” asks Dai.   She has brought them a chocolate cake, “As a present for making me feel at home here.”   

. . . particularly with the chocolate cake

Jim wastes no time in cutting the cake into slices, as he assures her they are happy to have her there.   She tells them she has reorganised the delivery to Coed Mynach, so they will not have to work late.

Oh, she has turned up again!

Then Gemma puts in another appearance, and Dai tells her she cannot keep calling there.   She interrogates Gwyneth;  

"Leave me alone, will you?"

“When did you make this cake” but receives the answer, “I’m busy!   Leave me alone, will you?”

"Lovers' tiff!"

Dai remarks to Jim, “Lovers’ tiff!”

Jinx's heart is not in his work

Jinx is on air with CwmFM and announces, rather dejectedly, “Here’s another song to raise your spirits.”   

"You have to accept Ffion is with someone else"

Kelly walks in and tells him, “You have to accept that Ffion is with someone else now, and you have to get along with her for the sake of Arwen.   Mam and her boyfriends always argued, and you never know how it will affect a child.”

"She's so unstable and so fragile!"

When Jinx describes Ffion as “so unstable and so fragile,” Kelly suggests that he may be attracted to people like that.   Jinx expects it will only be a matter of time before something else comes to send her off the rails, and Kelly says, “When that happens, she’ll miss you!”

He is not convinced his plan will work

“It’s too late for that now,” Jinx admits, “I’ve come back to get custody of Arwen – that’s the plan anyway, but what judge in his right mind would take me seriously?   Ffion is her Mam, and earns most.”

Kelly tries to encourage him that he can offer Arwen loads more than Ffion can, and tells him, “You have to fight for her!”

Hywel makes a scene at the consultant's

Hywel bursts into the waiting room of the consultant and shouts at Sheryl, “What the hell are you doing here?   

"You've come to have an abortion!"

“You said you wouldn’t do this – and you’ve come to have an abortion!”   Sheryl attempts to calm him, assuring him she is only there for advice;  

"You've no idea how worried I am"

“You never get time to talk to me!   You’ve no idea how worried I am about this child!   I’m not getting younger, and I have to think about Wil.”

“What about me, and the way I feel?” demands Hywel, You want to talk – now’s your chance!”   Sheryl however, insists she is not changing her mind – she wants an abortion.

"I thought you wanted this baby"

Outside, they sit at a table, as hospital staff having a crafty smoke stand around in the background.   Hywel begins, “I thought you wanted this baby, it’s what we both want.”

"Maybe you still have feelings for Ffion!"

Sheryl is doubtful;  “I have no idea what you want.   Maybe Gaynor is right, that you still have feelings for Ffion.   You didn’t take much persuading to go to North Wales, and I tried to phone you I don’t know how many times.”

Hywel replies that Gaynor would like nothing better to split them up, and assures Sheryl that he thinks the world of her.   “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, and one or two are more than happy to point that out.   This is my opportunity to make up for all I lost.”

"I'm not having this baby to soothe your conscience!"

Sheryl responds angrily, “I’m not having this baby to soothe your conscience;  this is a huge commitment.   Empty promises won’t do – you have to start proving how much we mean to you!”

Dani is given her instructions . . .

In the Deri, Garry gives Dani an envelope, 

. . . and a picture of her target

containing a photo of her “target”, and confirms her instructions.   “Are you sure you want to do this?   It’s not too late to change your mind.”   

"What could go wrong?"

Dani is insistent that she has done this before, and asks, “What could go wrong?   Look at you – getting soft in your old age!”

Gwyneth is sorting out APD's systems

Gwyneth has sorted all the invoices into categories and made a file listing every contact and supplier.   “All I need is the login and password for the bank accounts,” she says.

"That's confidential!"

“That’s confidential!” shouts Dai, “There’s nothing wrong with the accounts – I know where every penny goes!”   

Once again Gemma’s arrival interrupts things;  

"What's all this interest in Bank Accounts?"

Dai asks Jim, “What’s all this interest in Bank Accounts?”   When Jim says she is only trying to help, Dai insists, “Help herself and her lady friend!”   

Gemma has also infiltrated herself into the photo frame

Meanwhile, Gemma gives Gwyneth a present – a replacement photo frame with a picture of Gwyneth and Gwern, but this time with Gemma as well.

As Gethin is kissing Ffion, Jinx comes in, wanting some documents;  

"Don't mind me"

“Don’t mind me, I won’t be long” he says, “It’s just that my solicitor wants them.”

"I intend to apply for custody of Arwen!"

This arouses Ffion’s curiosity, and Jinx explains, “I intend to apply for custody of Arwen.   

"What?   You can't!"

She is outraged, and Gethin reckons he has no chance.   As Jinx is about to leave, he tells them, “She’d be safer with me, so I’ll see you in court.”   Fion demands, “Is that why you came back – not for Arwen, but to put yourself first?”

"It went without a hitch"

Dani returns from her job, and leaves a message for Garry that all went well, but as she turns, she gasps, as Dean, her supposed target, is standing behind her.

There is an intruder in her room . . . 

“The keys!” he demands, “You heard what I said!”   

. . . who grabs her by the throat . . .

He grabs Dani by the throat and forces her into a chair;  “It would be a shame to spoil that pretty face!   

. . . and threatens her with violence . . .

“Keep your voice down, or I’ll have to hurt you!   I’m sure your husband wouldn’t be happy about that!”   Terrified, she pulls the keys from her bag and gives them to him, 

. . . then engages in some wanton destruction

but he grabs the bag and empties its contents, then begins trashing the room.

Garry returns at this point and Dani screams to him;  

"I did what you wanted"

he meets the “assailant” at the top of the stairs.   “What have you done to her?” he demands, and Dean confirms he has done only what he was asked to do.   A brown envelope changes hands and Dean leaves;  

Not the sort of thing a husband does to his wife!

Garry rushes to the sobbing Dani and assures her that she is safe now.

Sheryl sees a small baby

Sheryl sees a mother with a newborn baby;  “One minute they’re babies, the next they’ve gone,” she laments.   

Hywel suggests going to Canada

Hywel suggests that in a couple of months they can go to Canada;  “I’m sure that Wil and Rhys will make good older brothers,” he tells her.

"I don't want someone else raising my child"

She worries about what will happen if she is not there to see the baby grow up, take its first steps, its first day at school.   “I don’t want someone else raising my child!”

"No more of these silly ideas!"

Hywel tells her that they will both be there, and that they have to look to the future;  “No more of these silly ideas!” he says.

Dai finds Gwyneth looking morose in the Deri;  

"Is APD driving you to drink?"

“Don’t tell me that APD is driving you to drink?” he comments.   As Gwyneth receives yet another text, she tells him that Gemma is making her life hell.   

"I just want to get rid of her!"

“Wherever I go or turn, she’s there.   I just want to get rid of her – she’s there every hour of the day!”

Elsewhere in the Deri, Kelly tells Jinx that Auntie Anita would not mind him moving in with them, but his mind is elsewhere;  

"Do I need to prepare anything else?"

“Do I need to prepare anything else for the lawyer?” he asks.   

"If Arwen is happy, I'll be happy"

He insists that if Arwen is happy, he will be happy.

Things are in a bit of a mess

As Dani begins clearing up the mess, she tells Garry how the man threatened her;  

Dani has been really scared . . .

“If I hadn’t given him the keys, I don’t know what he’d have done!   It all went right at the hotel – he must have followed me home.   It was if he wanted revenge against you and me!   I don’t want to go through anything like that again!”

. . . and does not want to face that again

As Garry continues that he make sure she does not have to face that again, Dani begs, “Promise me we’ll stop this!” 

Garry is pleased that his little plan was successful

and of course, Garry does so.
