Despite his hangover, Hywel looks pleased with himself

Things have happened as predicted;  next morning Hywel comes downstairs with his shirt hanging out, 

Gaynor's hangover tablets

as Gaynor is waiting for her headache tablets to dissolve.   She says that she is not used to it, but he thinks that a cup of coffee will sort out his hangover.   

"My mouth feels like something has died in it!"

Gaynor complains that her mouth feels as if something has died in it, and she needs a shower.

She regrets that she does not have a change of clothes for him, 

"I'll have to do the walk of shame in my suit"

so he concludes, “I’ll have to do the walk of shame in my suit – not that I’m ashamed of anything.   Why don’t I make some breakfast while you have your shower?”

"About last night. Hywel . . ."

Gaynor begins, “About last night,” but he assures her that they do not need to have this conversation, and that they understand each other.   “I don’t think I could cope with a hangover and a deep conversation,” she groans, 

"Perhaps I will have a couple of tablets"

then he decides he will in fact take advantage of some headache tablets.

In the café, Iolo is off to start work, and tells his father that he has been gathering information about renewing their vows;  

"Is that necessary, Iolo?"

Siôn wonders if that is necessary.   “You’re already married – nothing’s wrong – nobody’s ill,” he says.

"We want to celebrate after the explosion"

Iolo replies that everything is great, but after the explosion they are keen to celebrate with family and friends;  he asks if his father would officiate at the service.   

"Will you be at Kelly's party?"

Siôn agrees immediately, and wonders whether Iolo will be coming to Kelly’s party this afternoon.   

"Tyler's going for the deputy head's job"

“I shall be there, but Tyler has an application form to fill in – he’s going for the deputy head job at the school,” is the reply, 

"He doesn't want anyone to know – especially Ffion"

“He doesn’t want anyone to know – especially Ffion.”

At that moment, she and Rhys walk in and ask Siôn for two Americanos;  

"They would have to be daft not to give you the job"

Rhys is telling her, “They would have to be daft not to give you the job – everyone knows you’re an excellent teacher!”

She replies that it would mean a lot of extra work, and he would hardly ever see her, but he encourages her not to make excuses, but go and fill in the application from.   

"Will you be at Kelly's party?"

Ffion says she will also be at Kelly’s party, as she wants to meet the little one, 

"I could write you a reference, if you want"

and Rhys jokes that he could write her a reference for the job, as a former pupil.

After breakfast, Gaynor feels slightly better

After their cooked breakfast, Gaynor is feeling slightly better;  

Then Izzy appears

the door opens and Izzy comes in to pick up her bag for work.   

"Thanks for coming over Hywel"

Hywel gives the unconvincing excuse that he has just come round to see Gaynor, and ought to be going.   

His dishevelled appearance makes it obvious to Izzy what has been going on;  

"Did he stay here last night?"

“Did he stay here last night?” she demands, 

"I want to hear all about your dirty one-night-stand!"

“You’re not going anywhere until you tell me about your dirty one-night-stand!”

Dani is shopping for Kelly

Dani is looking online, and points out to Garry, “The thing with slings is that they can give you a bad back.”   

"Kelly can buy one for herself"

He suggests that Kelly can buy one herself, remarking that Dani has bought her half of Mothercare already.   “I can’t turn up with nothing,” Dani answers.

"I thought you could write down how you are feeling"

Garry presents her with a little notebook;  “I know you don’t want to talk to me or with a therapist, but I thought you could write down how you are feeling.   You’re grieving, Dan – it’s important you deal with those feelings now, or they’ll affect you in the future.”

"Since when have you been 'Mr Sensitive'?"

“Since when have you been ‘Mr Sensitive’?” she sneers, “Wanting to talk about feelings?”   He appreciates that this approach may not be right for her, but something has to change – she is not eating properly, and not sleeping.

"You've been a bit obsessed with Kelly's baby"

“You’ve been a bit obsessed with Kelly’s baby – all you do is talk about Kelly’s baby,” he goes on, but she flatly denies this;  “You don’t even want me to mention our baby.”   

"Stop going on about it, Garry!"

She tells him to stop going on about it, and resumes her online search.

“Do you know what, Garry?   You’re the one who can’t deal with things – 

"Perhaps you should write down your feelings!"

“perhaps you should write down your feelings!” she snarls, “I’m fine!” 

She walks out of the room

and she walks out of the room.

"It was only one night – nothing more"

Gaynor is trying to justify herself to Izzy;  “Look, it was only one night – nothing more.”   Izzy wants to know if he is going to see him again, 

"I hope you weren't snogging at the charity do!"

She hopes that they were ‘being safe’, but her mother is not comfortable with talking like this;  

"It was only one drunken night!"

“Look, it was only one drunken night – can we please forget about it?   

Izzy is not deterred, but asks whether Hywel knows how she feels – that it was a one-night-stand;  

"Don't raise his hopes!"

“Don’t raise his hopes,” she advises, but Gaynor stresses that they understand each other.   “Just tell him, to be on the safe side,” Izzy continues, as her mother is in a hurry to leave for school.

Garry sits with the book in front of him

Garry sits glumly with the book in front of him, which surprises Cassie;  

"Are you writing a novel?"

“Are you writing a novel?” she asks, and he explains that he is trying to write down how he is feeling, 

"Dani was right –it is a waste of time"

but thinks that Dani may be right, and it is a waste of time.

"Putting your worries down on paper does help"

Cassie sits down;  “I’m a firm believer that putting your worries down on paper does help.   Not everybody likes to talk, so writing it down is another option.”

"Dani does not like anything I suggest at the moment"

He tells her that Dani does not like anything he suggests at the moment, and he does not know how to help her;  Cassie emphasises that these things take time.   “I thought she’d find it hard, seeing Kelly with the baby – but she doesn’t talk about anything else.”

"It may be her way of coping"

Cassie answers that it may be Dani’s way of coping, but he grumbles, “The way she’s acting, you’d think that she had the baby, not Kelly.”   Cassie predicts that she might get pregnant again;  sometimes that is the solution to the problem.

"I can't go through this again"

Garry is not sure that he wants another baby, as he cannot go through this again;  Cassie thinks that he may change his mind in time.

"Have you started that application form yet?"

Rhys asks Ffion if she has started on the application form, and encourages her to get on with it.   She determines that she will do it at the weekend and considers that she would make a good deputy;  

"Gaynor more or less told me to go for it"

“And Gaynor more or less told me to go for it – but I won’t hold my breath – not after last time.”

"Perhaps grief is clouding your judgment"

Garry cannot concentrate, so he tells Cassie that he is going upstairs, and she wonders when he is going to tell Dani, pointing out that perhaps grief is clouding his judgment.   

"We've already got two children!"

He replies, “We’ve already got two children – we need to focus on them and their upbringing.”   Cassie warns him to tell Dani before she gets her hopes up about another baby.

They are all ready for Kelly's return

In the café flat, some of the party-goers are waiting for Kelly’s arrival, while Dani is looking at the congratulation cards.   

"She'll need a lot of support from her friends now"

Iolo says that Kelly will need a lot of support from her friends now, as it is not going to be easy.

"Who bought these wet-wipes?"

Dani snarls, “Who bought these wet-wipes?   They’re really bad for the environment, Sara,” but it is pointed out that they are biodegradable.

"Are you sure this isn't too much for you?"

Iolo sits down by Dani and asks if she is OK;  “Are you sure this isn’t too much?”   

"You're exactly like Garry!"

She accuses him of being exactly like Garry, once more insisting that she is fine.   

Kelly is home . . .

At that moment Siôn and Anita arrive, bringing Kelly and the baby home.   

. . . and they give a rousing cheer

They all welcome her back, but Anita warns them that the baby is sleeping.    Kelly is so pleased to see them all, and invites them to meet the new arrival;  Dani is the first to hug her.

Gaynor is glad to be home

Later, Gaynor comes home from school, and Izzy enquires about her hangover;  her mother is certainly glad to be home, and then receives a text message  from Hywel, 

Hywel is expecting a repeat performance

asking, “How was work?   Round two tonight?”   

Izzy snatches the phone from her;  “Shall I send a reply with an aubergine emoji, 

"So he knows you want to see his aubergine again?"

“so he knows you want to see his aubergine again?”   

"Grow up, Izzy!"

Her mother tells her to grow up, and retrieves the phone.

He is totally gorgeous

Sara is cuddling the baby, and Dani calls him, “Totally gorgeous!”   Kelly has not yet decided on a name, but is assured by Iolo that there is no hurry – it is important to get it right.   

"If you don't like the name, you can always change it"

Dani maintains that if you do not like the name you can always change it;  “Seren was called Carol for ages, remember.”   Anita hopes that she has made enough sandwiches, 

"There are loads, Auntie Anita"

but Kelly points out that there are loads.   

She is really grateful that they have all come, and Auntie Anita replies that they had to put on a welcome for the little one;  

"Sausage rolls with that lush chutney"

“And you’ve made home-made sausage rolls with that lush chutney – you’re a godsend,” Kelly tells her.

Iolo says that the baby looks exactly like Kelly, 

"No, he's more like Ed"

but Ffion ventures the opinion that he is more like Ed – then realises what she has said and is very apologetic.

"I don't want you feeling awkward about mentioning Ed"

Kelly assures her, “It’s fine – I don’t want you feeling awkward about mentioning Ed – he is the father – and you’re right, he is the spitting image.”   Ffion says how sorry she is for being insensitive, but Kelly tells her to forget about it.

"I'm going down to get some green teabags"

“I’m going down to the café to get those nice green tea bags,” she continues, and Dani will go with her.   

"Dis you have to say something so insensitive?""

Meanwhile, Ffion is on the receiving end of Anita’s acid tongue;  “Did you have to say something so insensitive?   

"Just think before opening your mouth!"

“Just think before opening your mouth next time!”

"Ed is the father of my baby"

Downstairs, Kelly admits that the baby looks exactly like Ed;  “Obviously, because Ed is the father of my baby.   I knew he’d look like him, but didn’t expect him to be exactly like Ed.   

"I really miss him, Dan!"

“Dani, please don’t tell anyone, but I still really miss him!   The fact that my son looks exactly like him just brings back all the grief!”

Dani has not said a word, as Kelly sits down, 

"He was a murderer – and I still miss him!"

confessing, “He was a murderer – and I’m still grieving for him – I still miss him.”

"I still miss Gethin – and I love him"

Dani joins her at the table and says, “I know that Gethin is still alive, but I miss him – I love him – and, if I’m honest, Dad as well.”   Kelly understands that Ed is a part of her life, 

"There's no point in ignoring it"

and there is no point in ignoring it, even if she would really like to.   She acknowledges that Dani is amazing, considering all she has gone through.

"Garry doesn't think I've dealt with losing the baby"

“You’re the only one who thinks that,” she replies, “Garry doesn’t think I’ve dealt with losing the baby – he wants me to talk about it, but there’s nothing to say.   What happened to me was horrible, but, there we are – there’s nothing else to say.”   

"There's no point talking about something that really hurts"

Kelly agrees that there is no point in talking about something that really hurts.

"How can you work after doing a full day at school?"

Izzy does not know how her mother can do more work after a full day at school, but she has loads of reports to read;  then Gaynor receives a phone call.   

"Sorry I haven't answered your text"

“Sorry I haven’t answered your text, Hywel,” she says, and admits that she feels slightly better now.   

"I haven't had so much fun for ages!"

He could not do much until he had a strong coffee with plenty of sugar, and maintains he has not had so much fun for ages.

She stresses that there is no need to over-complicate things;  

"We had a good time, and that's enough, isn't it?"

“We had a good time, and that’s enough, isn’t it?”   

"Hope we meet up for a drink before long"

He says he is in agreement with that, and hopes to meet up for a drink before long.   “But not on a school night next time,” she stipulates.   

He once again looks pleased with himself

He looks cautiously optimistic.

"What did he say, then?"

Izzy demands to be told what he said, and her mother simply replies that they understand each other;  

"It was just a one-off"

“It was just one night – a one-off!” but Izzy is far from convinced.

Ffion is still very apologetic

Kelly’s welcoming party are about to go home, and thanks them all for coming;   Sara instructs her to relax and not do too much.   Ffion again apologises, 

"I'm really exhausted – but I'm fine!"

but Kelly tells her, “I’m really exhausted – every part of my body hurts, but I’m fine.”   

"He wants his mother's milk"

They hear the baby crying in the bedroom, and Anita stresses that he wants his mother’s milk, so Kelly goes to do the honours.   

They consider thay have done a good job

Anita and Siôn agree that she has enjoyed herself, and they kiss.

"I don't want anything to eat"

Dani returns home, where Garry is preparing their meal, and she says she does not want any, as she had sandwiches at the party.   

"You haven't eaten properly for days"

“Don’t lie!” he says, “You haven’t eaten properly for days.”

"I'm going for a lie-down"

She tells him she is going for a lie-down, and he asks her what is wrong;  he is worried about her.

"I'm fed up with you going on and on!"

“You want to know what’s wrong?   I’m fed up with you going on and on at me to move on – 

"I don't want to move on– because our baby died!"

“I don’t want to move on, Garry, because our baby died!   See, I can say it.   

"It's the only thing that makes me happy!"

“By the way, I’m not going to stop seeing Kelly’s baby, whether you like it or not.   Because, at the moment, it’s the only thing that makes me happy!”
