Ffion is on sick leave because of her alcoholism.  Gaynor pays her a visit, and says that she needs to provide a doctor's note by Thursday, or she'll face a disciplinary.  Ffion feels threatened, so Gaynor says she doesn't intend to be threatening but there are wider implications to her illness.

Unfortunately for Ffion, word of her drunkenness at school spreads to her landlord Sheryl, who gives Ffion an ultimatum - sort yourself out or I'll make your life hell and you'll have to leave the house.  She has her son, Wil, to think about, so rationality goes temporarily out of the window.  Ffion is clearly shocked, but her resistance is low, and she later scours the house for a bottle of vodka.

Dani has her heart set on some second-hand kitchen furniture from Norman's renovation.  Norman finds out and decides to *sell* it to him.  Dani meanwhile is making colour swatches and thinking about redecorating their flat above the fish and chip shop.

Sioned tries hard to engage with Macs, but he continues to be rude and distant. Macs is clearly stiill suffering from his rape 6 weeks ago.  He is asked by Gaynor to go for an end-of-year drink, and feels obligated to go.  However when a young bathroom salesman turns up, at Sioned's request, Macs is clearly very uncomfortable at a man being in such close proximity, and he runs off.  It seems he's almost at the point where he accepts he has to ask for help.  However, things with Sioned end in an argument, and she is upset, understandably.
