Initially she’d though ‘Can I do this? I mean, really, really do this?

It was only enough for a few hours, just long enough to come clean with Rhys and admit the affair. After that it wouldn’t matter that he didn’t remember, she’d know it was okay and they could start over and go back to how things were before.

Before she could reconsider she’d pocketed the retcon and rushed out the door.

He’d lost it at her, but there wasn’t time for forgiveness.

Now that he was asleep all she could think was, 'oh god, what have I done?'

Yes, this was a real character-defining moment for me with Gwen, and it wasn't favourable.

Not one of Gwen's best moments.

I have to admit I have no sympathy for Gwen here. What she did was selfish in the exteme, wanting absolution without having to pay the price for her infidelity. I was glad that Rhys refused to forgive her, she'd done nothing to earn it. She needed to grow up and take responsibilty for her actions.

That was definitely a low point for her character!
