Marged comes to the Morgan house to help out and learn household skills, but she falls in love with Owen, and he with her. Caught kissing in a shed outside of chapel, a scene takes place between her father and the Morgans. Owen is so embarrassed and distraught over their romance being made public, that he rejects Marged, who is devastated. Marged goes on to marry Gwilym, Owen's brother, but she becomes mentally ill over her loss of Owen. Huw finds her in a state of disorientation, thinking Huw is his brother, Owen. She chases Huw with the intent to harm him. He finally calms her and builds a fire, but when he returns she has put herself in the fire and committed suicide.
