Garry is musing on what might have been 

As Garry is standing on the street corner looking up at Bethania, 

He says that he is fine

Dani approaches and asks him how his health is;  “Great,” he replies.   

"Are you coming to meet Scarlett's family?"

Then she asks him whether he is coming to meet Scarlett’s family tomorrow, but he is immediately defensive;  

"Not now, Dan"

“Not now, Dan – we’ll discuss it another time,” and walks away.

Iolo finds Morgan in Tamed

Iolo comes into Tamed, where Morgan is already at the counter;  “Have the teachers got nits as well now?” Iolo enquires 

"I've avoided them so far"

and is told that Morgan has avoided them so far, thank goodness.

"Look . . ."

“Look,” Morgan begins, but Iolo assures him that he does not have to explain, admitting that he read the signals wrong and is sorry about that.

"I shouldn't have tried to kiss you"

“I shouldn’t have tried to kiss you,” but that is not what Morgan wanted to discuss.   

Dani comes in . . .

Before he can say any more, Dani comes in and wishes them good afternoon, 

. . . and Morgan leaves

so Morgan takes his opportunity to leave.

"Was it something I said?"

“Was it something I said?” asks Dani, and Iolo invites her for a coffee, but she does not have time, 

"I have lots to do"

as she has lots to do before meeting Scarlett tomorrow.   She has a bag which she wants to fill with nice things for the child and is glad that Mark is coming with her.

"I've got loads of bits and bobs"

“Don’t buy things for that bag – I’ve got lots of bits and bobs in the house you can have – come over later,” Iolo tells her.

"Isn't he going to say sorry?"

Ieuan is surprised that Dai is not going to say sorry to Diane;  

"No, he's like a child"

“No, he’s like a child!” she groans.   

"There must be a way of sorting things out"

Ieuan says that there must be some way of sorting things out between them.   “Not unless he apologises – and I don’t see that happening soon.”

Ieuan has an idea

He maintains that she needs something to lift her spirits, but she does not have the energy to go anywhere today.  Then he has an idea and consults his phone, assuring her that it will be worth it.   “Right, are you free to leave in an hour?”

Brynmor is taken to Jinx's studio

Kath wheels Brynmor into Yr Antur, which is now serving as Jinx’s studio;  he tianks her for doing this and she wonders why he wants to see Jinx.

"I've seen prettier things on toilet walls"

In order to get rid of her, he suggests, “Do you know what I fancy this afternoon?”   She is more interested in looking at the pictures, scathingly commenting that she has seen prettier things on toilet walls.

“Your lovely scones,” he continues, 

"One of those would look good in the Deri"

but then Jinx comes in, telling Kath that one of his pictures would look good on a wall in the Deri.

"We don't want to frighten people"

“Do you know what, Jinx?   We try to lift people spirits in the Deri, not frighten them!” she replies.

"I shall need some flour"

Brynmor continues his attempts to change the subject;  “Did you hear me?”   She answers that she did, but she will need some flour will she not?   He tells her to go to the shop, as he will be fine there, but she warns him not to buy anything.

"It's very emotional"

When she is out of the way, Brynmor says that he appreciates Jinx’s  work, which is very emotional.   

"Is there any chance for you and Eleri?"

“Tell me, is there any chance of you and Eleri rekindling your relationship?   You were so good together.”

"You never wanted us together"

Jinx is surprised, recalling that Brynmor never wanted them together.   

"A man can change his mind, can't he?"

“Well, a man can change his mind, can't he?”   

"Why the sudden change of heart?"

Jinx wants to know why the change of heart all of a sudden.

"Eleri saved my life – and yours!"

“Because Eleri saved my life – and your life!”   

Jinx thinks about that

Jinx looks thoughtful.

They are back at the Glyndwr

Ieuan has taken Diane once again to The Glyndwr, where they are reclining on a double bed, flicking through the films on offer;  “Oh, yes – it will warm the cockles of your heart, that one,” she tells him, “Dai always says it’s too soppy.”

"How about some room service?"

Now Ieuan will order some room service and looks at the menu;  

"A bottle of bubbly"

“A bottle of bubbly.”   She protests that it is too expensive, but he maintains that they need to treat themselves;  “And you can stay in this room tonight if you want to,” he adds, 

"I have to make dinner for Kelly"

which rather shocks Diane, until he explains, “I have to go back to make dinner for Kelly by six.”

"Better than going back to an empty house"

“Well, it’s better than going back to an empty house, I suppose,” is her response.

Ieuan complains that. Dai needs his head read;  “He could be enjoying himself if he just apologised – but there we are, he’s the one missing out.   

"Choose whatever you want"

“Do you want something to eat?   Choose whatever you want.”

“Is there lobster on the menu?” Diane rather hesitantly asks;  

"I'll have the escargot"

he confirms that it is, while he will have the escargot (snails).   “What shall we have after?   Something sweet?” enthuses Diane.

"Your blue period, is it?"

In the studio, Brynmor assumes that these masterpieces are from Huw Jenkins’ ‘blue period’.   

"How long have you been an art critic?"

Jinx wonders how long he has been an art critic.   “I can tell that you’re in pain – 

"Don't let pride get in the way"

“don’t let pride get in the way,” he advises.

"She left you half-dead on the floor"

Jinx reminds him that Eleri left her father-half dead on the floor and that she is not the person he thought she was;  “If someone is dying, you call an ambulance!”

"It was her only chance to get rid of Kyle"

On the contrary, Brynmor maintains that it was the only chance she had to get rid of Kyle.   

"That's her fault for marrying him!"

“That’s her fault for marrying him in the first place!” rages Jinx.

"She needs you to keep her sane"

Brynmor will not be deflected, but soldiers on, “And that’s what she needs you – to keep her sane – and I’d say you need her, too.”   

Jinx considers that Brynmor had better go as he has things to do.   

"Don't leave it until it's too late"

Nevertheless, Brynmor continues, “Listen, Eleri saved everyone, especially you, by doing what she did that day – so don’t leave it until it’s too late.”   

Jinx ponders on his words

It appears that this has struck a chord in Jinx’s mind

"I've got loads of stuff in the attic"

Iolo comes downstairs at Y Felin, telling Dani, “I’ve got loads of stuff in the attic – stuff from Greta’s friends’ birthday parties.”   

Morgan arrives 

There is a knock at the door and he finds that it is Morgan, 

Dani is leaving . . .

so Dani makes her exit, 

. . . as she has a shift in the Deri

with the excuse that she has a shift in the Deri.

"I've broken the rules"

Iolo and Morgan look at each other;  “I’ve broken the rules – I’m sorry – I looked for your address on the school database,” says Morgan.

"I shall have to report you to the school"

Iolo jokes that he will have to report him to the school in that case, but is told that it is a sensitive matter;  

"You've given me Chlamydia!"

“You’ve given me Chlamydia!”   

That is a shock to Iolo

Iolo is  dumbstruck.

Jinx goes to Cysgod y Glyn 

Jinx has gone to Cysgod y Glyn to speak to Eleri;  

"What do you want?"

“I haven’t got all day – what do you want?” she snaps.   He maintains that he just wanted to check how she is.

"Dad's behind this"

“We haven’t spoken for weeks – OK, don’t tell me, Dad’s behind this.”   

"Er, well, yes"

At first he denies this, but then changes his mind.

“He explained why you did what you did – leaving him on the floor like that.   

"He thinks you saved us all from Kyle"

“He thinks you saved us all from Kyle.”   He maintains that it is nothing to do with her father, but simply between the two of them.

She is convinced that her father is playing a game with Jinx;  

"But I'm not playing a game"

“But I’m not playing a game,” he points out.

"You're thick and gullible"

“No, but you’re thick and gullible,” is her rather cruel evaluation, “Because you've fallen into his trap.”   

"This was a mistake"

He now realises that going to see Eleri was a mistake and turns to leave.   

She does not disagree

She appears tempted to protest, but remains silent.

"How do you know it was me?"

At Y Felin, Iolo asks, “How do you know it was me? I haven’t got any symptoms – it could have been someone else.”

"You're the only one"

Morgan explains that Iolo is the only person he has slept with since his ex;  “Look, the test is free – and if you are positive, it’s easy enough to treat.   

"You have to tell all your ex-partners"

“Just remember that you have to tell your other ex partners as well.   Are there a lot, then?   It’s none of my business.”

"Look, I'm so sorry"

Iolo is very apologetic, but is told that he needs to be responsible;  

"Take a test and tell everyone"

“Take a test and tell everyone that needs to know.”   

"I'm really grateful"

Iolo is grateful that Morgan broke the rules and came over to tell him – it was really nice to see him, despite the circumstances.

"The best scones I've ever had"

Over their cup of tea in the Deri flat, Brynmor compliments Kath on her scones, which he missed when he was in hospital.   She reminds him, “You were in a coma most of the time, love.”

Here comes Eleri

Eleri marches in, wanting a word with her father;  he invites her to sit down at the table, 

"I'm not staying"

but she says she is not staying.   

"Will you give us five minutes, Kath?"

Brynmor wonders if Kath will give them five minutes;  

"You expect me to leave my own lounge?"

“You expect me to leave my own lounge?   I’m late for my shift, anyway.”   

She definitely does not like Eleri

She gets up and glowers at Eleri.

"Keep your nose out of my business, OK?"

“Keep your nose out of my business, OK?” snarls Eleri, so he realises that Jinx has been to see her.   

"I did what I thought was right"

He maintains that he did what he thought was right, trying to talk sense into him, 

"More like meddling!"

but his daughter would rather call it, “Meddling!”

"I was just trying to make you happy"

He goes on that he was just trying to make her happy;  

"Our relationship is toxic!"

“You and me, Dad – our relationship is toxic!” she growls.   

"I honestly thought I was helping"

He would like to change that and honestly thought that trying to get her and Jinx back together would help with that.

"You don't know the meaning of the word!"

“Honest?   You don’t know the meaning of that word!”   

"I'v tried to do the right thing"

He still insists that he has tried to do the right thing by her, but she is not interested.

"I'm leaving now, Kath!"

Dani has just finished her shift at the Deri, 

"What's so important?"

but wants to know what Iolo considers is so important that it could not wait.   

"I've given him Chlamydia!"

“Guess what Morgan said?   That I’ve given him Chlamydia!”

Dani bursts out laughing

Dani bursts out laughing, which is not the reaction he was expecting, pointing out that it is not funny, but she says that she was caught a little off guard.   

"I'm a walking disaster, Dan!"

“I’m a walking disaster!” exclaims Iolo, “I’m the only person he has slept with – and I’ve slept with so many men I don’t remember their names!   This is Karma for having too much fun!”

"It's no big deal . . ."

Dani does not regarded as a big deal, 

". . . take the test and see what it says"

simply advising him to just take the test and see what it says.   

"Sorry about going on about me"

He realises that he has been going on and on about himself, but Dani also has things to worry about of her own.   She regards it as a welcome distraction.

"Does Garry want to be there?"

“I see that Garry is back – does he want to be there tomorrow?” asks Iolo.  

"You know Garry"

“You know Garry – he should be there for his own sake – anyway, I’m off – book an appointment in the clinic ASAP.”

That cheesecake was better than Anita's"

Having finished their room service meal at The Glyndwr, Ieuan comments that the cheesecake was even nicer than Anita’s, “And that is saying something!”   

Diane imagines that it might be the bubbles talking.

"We do need to have a treat now and again"

“Do you know?   What you said earlier was right – we do need to have a treat now and again” she tells him, 

"Thank you for reminding me"

“And thank you for reminding me that I can be good company sometimes – like you.”

As far as we know, there are no witnesses

She gives him a hug – but there does not appear anyone watching this time.   He says that it is comforting to have a friend like her at such a difficult time.

"If you're ever looking for company again . . ."

“If you’re ever looking for company again, you know where I am,” says Diane.

Dani comes in to clean . . .

Garry is sitting, looking at his phone in Cysgod y Glyn when Dani comes in, having been asked to clean by Eleri.   

. . . so Garry is about to leave

He will stay out of her way, having been planning to go to the Deri, but before he does so, she needs to talk to him.

"Are you coming tomorrow?"

“I know you don’t like to talk about these things, but are you coming to see Scarlett tomorrow?”   

"It's not that I don't want to . . ."

He answers that it is not that he does not want to be there, but he cannot.   

"I'm unable to be there"

He is worried about them, but is unable to be there.

"I don't want you to regret it"

“I don’t want you to regret it – because that’s what you do,” she argues, “With the cancer, Seren – you let time run out – and you regret it.”   

"I have meetings"

His excuse is that he has meetings, then walks out of the flat.

Eleri goes to see Jinx

Jinx opens the door of number 9 to find that Eleri is visiting him;  she asks if he has a minute.   

"Someone thick and gullible like me?"

“What?   Someone thick and gullible like me?” is his reply.

"I'm sorry about everything"

She realises that she should not have said that and is sorry – about everything;  “About Dad, Kyle – me.   I’m sorry for bringing them into your life – and I’m sorry that this is what I’m like.”

"I'm sorry for wasting your time"

As he does not say anything, she goes on, “OK, fine, I’m sorry for wasting your time.”

"Stop, Eleri!"

He stops her there, “Eleri, please, let me talk before you put up these walls.   Look, I miss you terribly, OK?”

"That's what Dad wants"

“Don’t say that, because it’s what Dad wants,” she urges him, but he insists that is not why he is saying it.   He is saying it because he loves her.

"You have paint on your face"

She takes a couple of steps towards him and points out that he has paint on his face;  

"I love you, too"

then she admits that she also loves him 

The inevitable kiss ensues

and they kiss.

Brynmor is reading the Western Post 

Brynmor is on the sofa in the Deri flat, reading the Western Post;  he asks Kath where she has been.   

"I've got a pub to run"

“Working in the bar – I’ve got a pub to run.”

"Those were the best scones you've made"

He tells her that the scones were the best she has ever made, but she does not take any notice, so he assumes that there is something wrong.

"I don't like to leave you on your own with her"

“I don’t like to leave you on your own with her – what’s going on, Brynmor?   I was the one at your side while you were in a coma, for weeks.   

"I deserve better than this, Brynmor"

“I deserve better than this, Brynmor – I deserve a little more respect.   I’m not going to do this again – I’m either in your life or I’m not – especially after what she’s done.   

"Whose side are you on?"

“So it’s time for you to decide whose side you’re on, good boy!   Do you understand?”

Dani discovers . . .

Dani is cleaning up at Cysgod y Glyn when she comes across a photograph on the floor;  

. . . a photo of Seren

it is of Seren and at that moment Garry returns, surprised that she is still there.

“Looks like it,” she groans.   

"I don't know how you keep everything going"

He says that he does not know how she does it;  cleaning, keeping everything going;  

"If I could be there, I would"

“If I could be there tomorrow, I would be – you know that.”

"You don't want to face the mess"

Dani believes otherwise;  “You just don’t want to face the mess you’ve created,” 

She gives him the photo

as she hands him the photograph.   

"It's not too late, Garry"

“It’s not too late, Garry – you can do this, please – for Seren’s sake.”

He is almost in tears

Garry looks emotionally at her and 

"You're welcome to join us in the car"

she informs him, “We’re leaving Maes-y-Deri early in the morning – you’re welcome to join us in the car.   Think about it.”

She leaves him alone

She walks out of the flat, leaving Garry with his thoughts.
