17 September 2026

"What do you want?"

Eileen has summoned Sioned to come to the shop flat;  when she arrives, she grumbles, “I’m busy and I’ve got a headache – what do you want?”   

"Sit down and have a coffee"

Her mother invites her to sit down and have a coffee, 

"So what did you want to say?"

but she replies, “No – you said you spoke to your solicitor, so what did you want to say?”

"I was hoping for a sensible conversation"

Eileen says that she was hoping for a sensible conversation;  “I’m here, aren’t I?” Sioned snarls.

"£40,000 as a gift"

“I’ve discussed things thoroughly and I’m willing to give you £40,000 – as a gift, not a loan – on condition that you forget this court business.   You can put a good deposit down on a home, without having to wait years for things to go through the courts.   And don’t you think we should reconcile, for the children’s sake?”

"Don't use the children"

Sioned warns her not to use the children.   

"It's a generous offer"

Eileen regards it as a generous offer, which Sioned would get within days.   

"I'll think about it"

“I’ll think about it,” her daughter replies and walks out of the flat, 

"Oh – she's gone!"

so when Eileen has taken a packet of biscuits from the cupboard and turned round, she is gone.

Kelly looks a bit unsteady

Kelly walks past MFC, looking slightly under the weather, and Britt, who is cleaning the shop windows, greets her, “Hiya, love!”

"Do I smell like a brewery?"

“Britt, do us a favour – I’m on the way to see Auntie Neet, but I was in the Deri with Sioned last night, putting the world to rights.   “Have a whiff, yeah?   Do I smell like a brewery?”

"Polos, hairspray – with a bit of Tequila!"

Britt says that she can detect, “Polos, hairspray – with a bit of tequila, though.”   

"Diane!"

Then Kelly notices Diane coming out of the shop and calls to her.   

Diane is not very pleased

Diane does not look too happy to see her.

"I spoke to my solicitor friend"

“Just a heads up – I spoke to my solicitor friend about you and Ieuan – she thinks I have a good chance of challenging the power of attorney.   

"The list is quite comprehensive"

“The list is quite comprehensive actually, . . . er . . . abuse of position, acting improperly, not in the best interests of the donor.”

"You're not serious?"

Diane cannot believe that she is serious, 

"You haven't given me much choice"

but Kelly insists, “You haven’t given me much choice.”

"You're completely wrong about this"

“All right,” Diane sighs, “But you’re completely wrong about all this,” so Kelly walks away.

The new look Hywel Llywelyn 

The new look Hywel arrives at Ceffyl Du and tells Rhys, “Smile or you’ll make the beer turn sour.   

"At least, I've made you smile"

He does in fact smile when he looks at his father and demands what happened to him, as it is a bit . . . different.   “Are the flowers part of the outfit?”   

"They're for Siwsi"

Hywel answers that they are for Siwsi.

"Can't you see how embarrassing this is?"

“Dad, please – can’t you see how embarrassing this is?   Is that why you bought the new clothes?   It’s not the clothes – the problem is you’re trying to attract a woman 

"Young enough to be your granddaughter"

“who’s young enough to be your granddaughter.”

"No, I'm not!"

Siwsi is approaching and takes issue with his allegation that she is young enough to be Hywel’s granddaughter.   “And I think he looks very smart.”

"Just to thank you"

He presents her with the flowers, “Just to thank you,” but she replies that he did not have to, as she was enjoying herself.

This is too much for Rhys

This is too much for Rhys,

"Do you think it's time we . . ."

so Siwsi thinks that it may be time to . . . and Hywel agrees with this.

"We have something to tell you"

“Listen, Siwsi and I have something we want to tell you,” he begins 

Rhys tries to escape

and Rhys is about to walk away, so Hywel wants him to stop.   “I think you deserve to know what’s been going on.”

"Kelly's threatening a challenge"

At number 7, Diane is updating Ieuan that Kelly is threatening to challenge the power of attorney again.   

"I'll try and get hold of her"

He says that he will try to get hold of her, although she has not been answering his calls.

"You're going to have to tell her the truth"

“You’re going to have to tell her,” Diane concludes, “The truth – the reason you were at The Glyndwr.   She has to find out about Janet.”   

He is determined to find another way

Ieuan insists that he will find another way to sort this out.

“That’s what you said last time and things have gone from bad to worse,” she points out, 

"Look, it's only a matter of time"

“Look, it’s only a matter of time until Kelly tells Anita about the ‘affair’.”   

"She wouldn't do that"

Ieuan is sure that she would not do that, but Diane does not share his confidence.

"If you don't tell her, I will"

“I know this is difficult for you, Ieuan, but if you don’t tell her, I’ll have to.”

"So it was all a wind-up?"

After it has been explained, Rhys remarks, “So it was all a wind-up?”   

"We couldn't stop"

His father maintains that they were having so much fun, they could not stop.   

"So there's nothing going on?"

“So theres nothing going on?” Rhys checks.

Siwsi stresses that his father is a very nice man, “But I don’t want you to call me ‘Mam’!”   His father says that on holiday at Tan y Garreg 

"I felt so old and miserable"

he felt so old and miserable;  when he spoke about it with Siwsi on the Deri Dating night she offered to help with styling and online shopping.   

“You reacted so badly to the first date, we decided to have fun and make you think something was going on.”

"You're not angry, are you?"

“You’re not angry, are you?” asks Siwsi.   Rhys is just happy that his father has not made a fool of himself;  

"You'd make a good life coach

Hywel maintains that Siwsi would make a good life coach.

"You can go to the cash and carry

“You can do something for me now, Dad, to make up for deceiving me,” says Rhys, “You can go to the cash and carry.”   

"I'll put these flowers in water"

Siwsi will have to put the flowers in water, while Rhys is really glad that she is not dating his father.   She replies that he is not exactly her type, so he wonders what exactly is her type.

"Why don't we have a drink in the Deri?"

She suggests that they have a drink in the Deri to say sorry for the wind-up, which he says would be nice.

Sioned is much happier now

Sioned is in much better humour when Mathew comes in;  “I got your text – is everything all right?” he asks.

"I've got some good news"

“I’ve got some good news,” Sioned announces, “Come here – 

"The plan worked!"

“Mam has offered to give us the £40,000 as a gift – the plan worked!” she giggles, “That’s what we wanted, isn’t it?”

But Mathew does not look happy

Mathew does not look happy 

"Do you know anything about this?"

and takes something from his pocket;  “Do you know anything about these?” he demands, 

"Why were they in those boxes?"

“And is there any reason why they were in those boxes?”

"There's a lot of old stuff there"

She answers that there is a lot of old stuff in those boxes, a lot of of which has been there for over 20 years.   Then she wants to know what they are going to do to celebrate tonight;  “We could go to the brasserie – I’m sure Connor would give us a discount after the work APD did.”

"I want you to be totally honest with me . . ."

“Sioned, I want you to be totally honest with me,” says Mathew, 

". . . have you forged your father's will?"

Have you forged your father’s will?”   

She does not reply

She remains ominously silent.

Kelly is about to leave Brynawelon . . .

Kelly is about to leave Brynawelon and kisses Auntie Neet, who is tucked up in bed;  

. . . when Diane arrives

Diane walks in, much to Kelly’s displeasure.   

"What are you doing here?"

“What are you doing here?” she growls.

"You've misunderstood, as usual"

Diane replies that she has misunderstood the situation, as usual.

“Have I?   Because you’re acting really, really odd – 

"What am I supposed to think?"

“and what am I supposed to think if you won’t tell me the truth?   I don’t want you near Auntie Neet, sorry.”

"There's something you don't know"

“There’s something you don’t know – 

"I knew it!"

“but it’s not what you think.   Look, I’ll explain everything – but not here – 

"Come up to Bryntirion"

“come up to Bryntirion.”   

Diane leaves

With that, she leaves the room.

"You're insane, Sioned!"

Matthew is furious;  “You’re insane, Sioned!   If this had gone to court, you could have been arrested!”   

"I would never let it get that far"

She insists that she was never going to let it get that far.   

"How could you risk the children?"

“How could you risk the children?” he shouts.

"I was thinking of the children"

She insists that she was thinking of the children;  “The will was real, Math, I didn’t forge that – if Dad hadn’t died when he did, he would have signed it and you, me and the kids would be living a completely different life.   

"You said you found it a bit odd"

“You said yourself that you find it a bit odd that Dad left £100,000 to his ex-wife.   Don’t get angry with me!”

"You didn't tell me!"

“It’s not what you’ve done – although it should be,” he exclaims, “But you didn’t tell me!”   

"I was going to"

She insists that she was going to, “But you didn’t, did you?   

"We're meant to be able to trust each other!"

“We’re meant to be able to trust each other, Sioned!”   

Mathew storms upstairs

He storms off upstairs.

Siwsi and Rhys are int the Deri

Siwsi and Rhys are having a laugh in the Deri when Britt comes in, 

"The father one night, then the son"

with the comment, “Siwsi!   Drinks with the father one night, now the son!”   

"We've just finished work"

Siwsi points out that they have just finished work.

When Rhys asks how Colin is, 

"I had a lovely chat with Colin . . .`'

she replies, “We had a lovely chat on the phone – Thailand is too hot for him, but he’s enjoying it.   The mosquitoes  – 

". . . he's like a pincushion!"

“Colin says they’re everywhere and he’s like a pincushion.”

"It would be nice to go somewhere exotic"

Siwsi thinks that it would be nice to go on a holiday somewhere exotic, just to escape from this place.   When she suggests another drink, he thinks that perhaps he ought to get back to Kelly, 

"I've got time for one more"

but then changes his mind, considering that he has time for one more – and it is his round.

"An AI lover?"


Kelly is at Bryntirion and as Diane brings her a cup of tea, she comments, “You’re joking – an AI lover?”

"Not lover – companion"

Diane points out that it is not a lover, but rather company;  “He has been very lonely.”   

"What's her name?"

Kelly hesitantly asks what is her name 

"Janet"

and is told, “Janet.”

"I'm gobsmacked!"

Kelly cannot get her head around this, exclaiming, “I’m gobsmacked!”   

"It's a lot to process"

Diane appreciates that it is a lot to process and understands why she suspected them;  

"That's why I followed him"

“I suspected him myself after you said he was acting oddly – that’s why I followed him in the first place – but I think this is some kind of coping mechanism for him.”

"I thought he knew I was there for him"

Kelly thought he knew that she was there for him;  “We made a big song and dance 

"Being honest with each other"

about how important it is to be honest with each other.”   Diane reminds her that it is difficult to ask for help – 

"Loneliness can make people do strange things"

and loneliness can make people do strange things sometimes.

"He needs someone who is not me"

Kelly rather emotionally realises that she will just have to respect that he needs someone who is not her to help him through this.

"Are the children asleep?"

When Mathew comes back downstairs, Sioned asks if the children are asleep and he replies that they are;  she urges him, “Talk to me, will you, please?”   

"What do you want me to say?"

He demands what she wants him to say.

"I know what I did was wrong"

“Look, I know that what I did was wrong – it was the only way out of the financial hole we’re in.   

"Do you really want  to live here for years?"

“Do you really want to live here for years, Math?”

"You deceived me – you lied to me"

He answers, “Look, I know why you did it, but you deceived me, Sions – you lied to me.”   She tells him that she is sorry, honestly she is.   

"Yes, Eileen has been unreasonable"

He accepts that Eileen has been unreasonable – cruel, even – not sharing the money from the stock with her, but that does not justify what she did.

"Everything will come to me and Huwi-John" 

“Think about it this way – everything will come to me and Huwi-John in the end, anyway,” she argues, 

"That's not the point"

but he says that is not the point.   

"Do you want me to reject it"?"

“What do you want me to do, then?   Do you want to reject that £40,000?   Please, Math let’s accept this money – we deserve it – and I’ll never try another stunt like this, I promise you that.   

"You can't deny that we need the money"

“But you can’t deny that we need this money – it would help us have the perfect home, after everything.”

Kelly is back at number 7 . . .

Ieuan opens the door of number 7 and is surprised to find Kelly there;  

 . . . but is very subdued

she is in a rather subdued mood and is sorry for disturbing him.   He is happy to see her and can see that there is something wrong.

"I'm really sorry"

“I want to apologise to you, because I’ve spoken to Diane – and I’m really sorry for jumping to conclusions.”

"I love Anita more than anything . . ."

Ieuan assures her, “Whatever Diane said, I want you to believe me when I say that I love Anita more than more than I’ve loved anyone ever 

". . . I would never hurt her!"

“and I would never hurt her.”

"Yes, I know that"

Kelly, who is by now in tears, already knows that;  

"I'm here for you"

“And I want you to believe me when I say I’m here for you, if you ever want to talk, like.   And if you don’t, well, that’s fine, too.”   

They are reconciled

Ieuan is very glad to hear that.

"Can I move back in?"

“Do you think I can move back in now, please?” she asks.   

Ieuan wipes a tear from his eye

Ieuan, also becoming rather emotional, tells her that of course she can, as this is her home.   Surprisingly, they do not have a cwtch.

"If you want me to confess to Mam . . ."

Sioned promises, “If you want me to confess to Mam, that’s what I’ll do  – you’re a lot more important to me than money, Math.”

"You don't have to do that . . ."

He tells her that she does not have to do that;  

". . . I want you to accept the offer"

sitting down with her on the sofa, he acknowledges that they need the money and he wants her to accept Eileen’s offer.   

"You have to get rid of those papers!"

“But you have to get rid of those papers – because if anyone finds out, we’ll be in big trouble!   

"We never talk about this again!"

“And we never talk about this again.   

"We have to be totally honest"

“From now on, we have to be totally honest with each other.”

Sioned agrees and is very grateful to him.

Kelly has packed her (small) bag

When Rhys arrives home at number 21 he finds that Kelly is in the process of leaving;  

"What are you doing, Kell?"

“What are you doing, Kell?”   

"You were right about Ieuan and Diane . . ."

She replies that she is going home and confesses that he was right about Ieuan and Diane.   “We’ve had a chat, everything is fine, 

". . . but Ieuan is really lonely, so . . ."

“but Ieuan is really lonely, so . . .”

"Are we all right?"

Rhys is anxious and asks if the two of them are all right, as things have not been great recently.   

"I'm only going down the road"

“Rhys, I’m literally going down the road, OK?   This was a temporary arrangement, yeah?   Don’t make a big deal out of it.   

"We're fine – but Ieuan needs me"

“We’re fine – I’m really grateful to you for letting me stay, but, do you know what?   Ieuan needs me.   I have to go because he’s ordered a takeaway.”

She kisses Rhys

She kisses Rhys 

"See you tomorrow"

and will see him tomorrow.   

He sits down sadly

He sits down rather mournfully and his phone sounds.   

Siwsi enjoyed their evening 

A message from Siwsi reads, ‘Thank you for a lovely evening.’

Rhys thinks about his future

The episode ends with Rhys apparently in a quandary.
