While she sits in front of it, he fiddles the scales to give the correct result, and it's not long before all the local women are dropping in to check out the rumour. Meanwhile Joe has brought Dai round to sort the problem before the truth comes to light - but the result is a confrontation which ends with the mirror in shards... with an unexpected revelation. |
