Episode 1

Leighton is waving goodbye, literally, to things in the village.  Britt has already excused herself from saying goodbye because of a school trip, Huw is doing something with Lois, so this leaves just Sion to wave him off.  Leighton is feeling a little lonely.  When he has a meal with Marian later, he actually breaks down and admits he doesn't want to go back to South Africa.

Cwm FM is up for an award for Jinx's programme about the monks, but Jinx is not happy, saying that if they win, they will doubtless be found out, and he could be out of a job.  Hywel tries to ask Sion to keep quiet that he knows the programme was fake, but he is stonewalled.

After the observed session with Courtney and Angela, Angela behaves badly by trying to insist that she observes the session with Jim Probert and Courtney.  Although the case worker obviously doesn't like Probert, something about Angela's behaviour and Probert's insistence seems to strike a chord.  Is she starting to melt a bit?  When Probert's session is over, it's clear that both he and Courtney are upset it's over, but that it went very well.

Episode 2

Macs and Sioned are still bickering.  When Macs turns up for a community cricket match, he can't bring himself to get changed, more specifically to get undressed (since Scott had to remove Macs' clothes in order to rape him), and Macs runs out of the room.  When Iolo tries to stop him, Macs shouts at him for touching him.  Iolo goes after him, but can't find him.  Sioned gets upset talking to Iolo, it's clear she is close to her wits' end.  She doesn't understand why Macs is suddenly a different person.  Iolo still doesn't know the truth but he clearly suspects.

When Macs gets home he doesn't react well to Iolo being there, and even after he leaves when Sioned tries to find out what's wrong, Macs is hostile.  It's not clear how much longer Sioned can stay with him.  Eileen is starting to notice the strain Sioned is under.  But when Macs goes to his mother's grave and asks what he's going to do, it's hard not to feel huge sympathy for him.
