Lois astonishes her mother, Colin and Hwyel by saying that she's going back to school, and that she wants to give the baby up for adoption.  Her mother agrees to take Lois to see Huw, Lois says he has a right to know.  Gaynor even suggests that she and Hywel bring up the baby, but Lois says she would only let the baby down.  Hywel tries to enlist Rhys to make Lois change her mind, but Rhys doesn't want anything to do with Lois or the baby.  Hwyel shamelessly tries to bribe Rhys with a cheque for £5000, with another on the way, if he agrees that the baby can stay.

Lois gets a poor reception from Huw, who remains angry with her.  He declines the chance to say goodbye to the baby, saying the baby is nothing to do with him.  Huw is still a very angry man, and he will not listen to Sion's attempts to talk to him.

The social worker arrives, when Hwyel tries to tell her that Rhys wants to keep the baby.  Whilst the social worker and Lois sort out the paperwork, Rhys, Hwyel, Gaynor and Colin continue to argue loudly in the kitchen.

As Rhys storms out throwing Hwyel's cheque back at him, Lois steps outside for some air and finds Huw outside.  He says he doesn't want to come inside, and gives her a locket that he bought for her and had engraved, which took a couple of weeks ago - Lois on one side, Gwen (the baby) on the other.  Lois says it doesn't have to end this way, but Huw says it already has.

As the social worker leaves with the baby, watched by Lois, Hwyel is inconsolable, as his granddaughter is taken out of his life.
