Pam and Mick are having second thoughts about the conservatory, whilst Bryn is in his element as he awaits the arrival of his houseguests - all the Essex boys are down for a big night out in Cardiff, and having a sleepover at his! Smithy gets in a state about seeing Nessa after their most recent embarrassing meeting and Stacey makes a worrying discovery. But is telling Gavin the right thing to do?

It is Bank Holiday Monday, and the Essex contingent arrives for a sunny day out at the beach; even Doris gets her sun dress on.

Gavin's heart-to-heart with his dad gives him something more to think about, and a dark cloud looms on the horizon when Dave arrives to find Nessa and Smithy enjoying all the fun of the fair.
