Ricky goes with some other children to Ysgol Y Mynach, which will be his new secondary school.   After Gaynor ingratiates herself on them, Ffion gives them a taste of sport.  However, she decides that she needs her vodka.  She puts poor Jinx in charge of the children, who is there to record a radio programme.  He barely knows what to do.  Ffion rushes back to grab her 'water bottle' filled with vodka, and in the meantime, the children rummage through the sports supplies, and emerge with a variety of sporting equipment, including javelins.

Ffion comes back, sees the children with the javelins, reacts extremely angrily, and shouts at them.  Mark (Ricky's father) remonstrates with her and realises that she's intoxicated, and guesses that she wasn't ill in Cardiff, but intoxicated then also.

Gaynor arrives, and she is furious.  She frog-marches Ffion into her office.  She tells Fiion that she is an alcoholic, and that she will never get the opportunity to behave like that again.  She starts making all sorts of threats about the board of governors.

Jinx has been recording the whole thing for Cwm FM, but his boss Hywel is anxious to protect Gaynor from scandal, and says it won't be broadcast.  Jinx is angry that Hywel will allow false programmes (such as the one about the monks) to be broadcast but not the truth.

Meanwhile, Iolo is trying to reach out to Macs, but Macs is not interested in engaging.  Sioned is becoming increasingly unhappy.
