| Siôn has a lot on his mind |
Siôn is still worried sick, looking at his laptop and Eileen can tell that he is still concerned about this Morawel business;
| "You did it for the right reason" |
“I don’t agree with what you did, but you did it to pay for Cai’s treatment. You did it for the right reasons.”
| "Perhaps Griffiths and Diane will understand" |
He, on the other hand, thinks that he should confess; “Perhaps Griffiths and Diane will understand.”
| "And Kelly?" |
Eileen demands, “And Kelly? Exactly – I know you’re a good man – if you start the repayments now, nobody will be any the wiser –
| "You need to put your name forward" |
“and anyway, you need to put your name forward today as an election candidate. We don’t want anything to spoil that, do we?”
| He is not as confident |
Siôn does not look anywhere near as confident as she appears to be.
| "You are going to take those tablets, aren't you?" |
Garry and Eleri come out of Ysbyty Myrddin [Merlin Hospital]; she remarks that it is good news the cancer has not spread. “You are going to take those tablets, aren’t you?” He replies that he does not know, but she continues to urge him that they could save his life.
| Garry notices someone . . . |
Then he happens to notice Dani,
| . . . Dani is approaching |
approaching the hospital from the other direction
| "I thought you had a meeting" |
and tells Eleri, “I thought you had a meeting – go on, then, I don’t want you to be late –
| "I'll find my own way home" |
“I’ll find my own way home.”
| "Don't ever say I didn't try!" |
“Don’t ever say I didn’t try!’ she snaps as she leaves.
| "Dani, what are you doing here?" |
Garry goes straight back across to meet Dani; “What are you doing here? Are you ill?”
| "Visiting a friend" |
She lies that she is there to see a friend, so he wants to know what friend.
She asks him why he is there
| "Just a routine check-up" |
and he dismisses it as simply a routine check-up.
| "Right, can I go and visit my friend?" |
“Right – now that’s sorted, can I go and visit my friend?” she says, continuing into the hospital.
| "That's £12.45, please" |
In the shop, Colin is charging Rhys £12.45, which he pays with his phone.
| "I hear that Gaynor's back" |
“I hear that Gaynor’s back,” he says
| "She feels everyone in the village hates her" |
and Colin replies that she is not very special, having the feeling that everyone in the village hates her.
| "She's paranoid Tom or someone have ben int the house" |
“On top of that, she’s paranoid that Tom or one of his contacts have been in the house – things have been moved about.
| "It's obvious someone's been there" |
“I’ve tried persuading her it’s not Tom, but it’s hard when it’s obvious someone has been there.”
| "Well, give her my regards" |
Rhys asks him to pass on his regards to Gaynor and, as he is leaving the shop,
| "Jinx tried to charge me for a few photos!" |
Mark hurries in, complaining, “Can you believe that Jinx tried to charge me for taking a few photos? I want him to take some for the canvassing leaflets because he's got a posh camera –
| "He wanted £100!" |
“and he said it would cost me £100 – and that was mate’s rates!”
| "I can take a couple of photos" |
Colin volunteers to take a couple of photos for him; “I could print them here as well – save you a few pennies.”
| "I want you as my campaign manager" |
Mark knew there was a reason that Colin was his best friend; “And that’s why I want you as my campaign manager,” he tells Colin,
| "It would be a privilege and an honour" |
who regards it as a privilege and an honour.
| "Ah – Che Guevara!" |
Mark dons a beret, and Colin immediately recognises it as the ‘Che Guevara’ look.
“You’re a natural in front of the camera,” comments Colin.
| "I heard this was where you were squatting now" |
Rhys has gone to Y Felin; “I heard this was where you were squatting now,” he says,
| "Iolo loves having us here" |
but Indeg points out that Iolo actually loves having them there.
| "I want you to admit everything to Gaynor" |
He insists that he wants them to admit everything to Gaynor.
| "No way!" |
“No way!” is Indeg’s immediate reaction. He insists that Gaynor knows someone has been there and thinks that it is Tom.
| "She doesn't feel safe in her own home – again!" |
“She doesn’t feel safe in her own home – again!” Indeg thinks that it is not much to worry about, but his mind is made up;
| "If you don't tell her, I will!" |
“I’ll give you until tonight – if you don’t tell her, I will!”
| "What a drama queen!" |
When he has gone, Indeg simply describes him as, “A drama queen. Once she realises things have stopped moving, she’ll be fine.”
| "It would be better coming from us" |
Siwsi, on the other hand, maintains that it will be better coming from them than from Rhys.
| "Anita is settling in well" |
At number 7, Diane reports that Anita is settling in well and seemed quite happy when they visited last week.
| "Why don't you go there today?" |
“Why don’t you go there today, to see for yourself?” she challenges Kelly, who quickly changes the subject.
| "What did you want to discuss about Morawel?" |
“What did you want to discuss about Morawel?” she asks.
| "Anita hasn't been getting any rent from Morawel" |
Diane has noticed that Anita has not been getting any rent from Morawel for nearly a year.
| "You what?" |
“You what?” Diane has spoken to Siôn and he said that he was doing maintenance on the house.
| "Auntie Neet owns half of it!" |
“Without telling us? Auntie Neet owns half of it!” Kelly rages,
| "He's got another think coming!" |
“If he thinks he can take advantage of her, he’s got another think coming!”
| Colin is at work in the shop |
Mark comes back into the shop, where Colin is sorting the magazines; he is told that his election posters are ready;
“What do you think, boy?”
| Mark finds a slight error |
“Col, this is brill,” he begins, but then suddenly stops, “They’re not all identical?”
| "There are 250 of them" |
He is informed that there are 250 copies, then points out to Colin that it reads, ‘Give your vote to Mark Junes, man of the people, man of the valley’
| "It's as clear as day on the paper" |
Colin considers it very odd that you cannot see a typo on the screen, but it is as clear as day on the paper.
| "Eileen's bound to start asking questions" |
However, he cannot print new ones as there is not much paper left and Eileen is bound to start asking questions if he uses it again.
| "Black felt tip pen!" |
“We shall have to correct them with a black felt tip pen – it will be a great story for your autobiography.”
| "I want to talk to Siôn!" |
Kelly, in furious mood, strides into the shop, demanding, “I want to talk to Siôn!” and heads straight upstairs to the flat, followed by Diane. Colin tries to tell them they cannot do that, but is ignored.
| "They'll be fools not to vote for you" |
Upstairs, Eileen is encouraging Siôn, “The people of Cwmderi will be fools not to vote for you.”
| "Auntie Neet's rent!" |
Kelly bursts in; “Auntie Neet’s rent!” she exclaims.
Siôn maintains that he has already explained,
| "You should have taken to us" |
but she continues, “You should have talked to us before starting any building work!”
| "Siôn wanted to do you a favour" |
Eileen intervenes to point out that Siôn wanted to do them a favour as they have been under so much strain lately.
| "Wasn't selling it the obvious answer" |
Kelly is not impressed, but goes on, “Surely, if there was 12 months worth of work to be done, wasn’t selling it the obvious answer? We need the cash, so you can buy her out!”
| "I can't afford to do that" |
Siôn replies that he cannot afford to do that and in any case, the house offers Anita a monthly income.
| "Auntie Neet hasn't sen a penny in ages!" |
“Auntie Neet hasn’t seen a penny in ages!” Kelly spells it out, “Do you know? I do think it’s worth getting an evaluation – especially after a massive glow-up.”
| "We should let the building work finish" |
Siôn suggests that perhaps they should let the building work finish before making any permanent decision.
| "I'm not dropping this, Siôn . . ." |
“Fine – OK – but I’m not dropping this, Siôn!” Kelly warns him,
| ". . . I want the best care for Auntie Neet!" |
“I want the best care for Auntie Neet.”
| "Next time, knock first!" |
Eileen objects to her bursting in there, advising, “Next time you come here, knock first – this isn’t a bus stop!”
| "She's just worried about Anita" |
Diane reminds her that Kelly is just worried about Anita and that this is a huge change for her as well.
| "You can concentrate on your campaign now" |
Eileen seems to think that this confirms that there is no need to say a word and that Siôn can just concentrate on his campaign.
| He is not so sure of that |
He, however, is still suffering with his conscience.
| Dani emerges from the hospital . . . |
Dani has now come out of the hospital
| . . . with the necessary medication . . . |
and is holding a small box with her prescription;
| . . . but Garry is waiting for her |
she walks away and finds Garry sitting nearby.
| "Your friend's in the maternity ward, is she?" |
“Your friend is in the maternity ward, is she?” and she realises she has been following her.
| "You're pregnant?" |
“You’re pregnant?” he enquires
| "If I am, it's none of your business" |
and she replies that if she is, it is none of his business.
| "Whose baby is it?" |
Now he wants to know whose baby it is; she does not reply, but, she walks away,
| "I was here to get an abortion" |
she tells him that she was there to get an abortion.
| The alteration has been made |
The last of the election posters has been altered and Colin is confident that no-one will notice; Mark maintains that he looks good in the photo, anyway.
| "Where's the Western Post?" |
Meanwhile, Diane is looking for the Western Post and is directed to it by Colin;
| "Tell Dai that today's sudoku is tip=top!" |
“Tell Dai that today’s sudoku is tiptop!” he adds.
| "Colin, can you give Britt a hand?" |
Kelly comes in to tell Colin that Britt wants a hand with a delivery,
| "OK – I'll mind the shop" |
so he puts Mark in charge of the shop for a couple of minutes.
| "Are you going round there today?" |
Kelly is purchasing a bunch of flowers and Diane comments that Anita likes them; “Are you going round there today?”
| "If it means you're going to stop hassling me!" |
“If it means you’re going to stop hassling me!” she answers
| "Diane will pay" |
and then walks out of the shop, telling Mark that Diane will pay.
| "You're standing, are you?" |
She notices the posters on the counter,
| "You want to get them distributed quickly" |
advising him to get them distributed quickly before the other candidates, which he anticipates will take hours,
| Mark has an idea |
but then appears to have a brainwave.
| There is a banging on the door . . . |
Indeg and Siwsi are banging on the door of Llwyncelyn,
| . . . which Gaynor tries to ignore |
but Gaynor is doing her best to ignore them. “We’re not going anywhere until you open the door,” Indeg promises, “So stop wasting our time and yours!”
| She goes to the door |
She marches to the door and demands what they want;
| "We've got something we want to confess" |
“We’ve got something we want to confess – you’re not the only one who’s been in a sticky situation recently.”
| "We were totally homeless" |
Siwsi continues that they are not comparing the two situations and Indeg goes on, “We were totally homeless – we lived here while you were away. We left the house clean and secure – if anything, we did you a favour.”
| "What right did you have to take that from me?" |
Gaynor rages, “Being allowed to come back to my own home was the only comfort I had – what right did you have to take that from me?
| "Were you here yesterday?" |
“Were you here yesterday?”
| "I forgot my shellac machine" |
Indeg admits that she had forgotten her shellac machine.
| "I didn't sleep a wink last night!" |
“I didn’t sleep a wink all night, worrying that there was someone here because the door was open. I’ve had enough of people taking advantage of me!” she screams,
| "Do I have 'FOOL' written in my forehead?" |
“Do I have ‘FOOL’ written on my forehead?”
| "This is the last thing we wanted" |
Siwsi says that the last thing they wanted to do was to make her feel like this,
| "Get out!" |
but Gaynor’s reaction is to yell at them, “Get out!
| "This is my home and no-one else's!" |
“This is my home and nobody else’s!”
| "I'm getting some Dutch courage" |
Rhys comes into the Deri and finds Kelly sitting alone; she tells him that she is getting some Dutch courage
| "I think I could do with some of that" |
and he thinks that he could do with some of that.
| He apologises for his father |
He wants to talk to her; “While I was away, Dad started a partnership between Ceffyl Du and The Pizza Place. I said we had an understanding . . .”
| "I don't know whether Y March Gwyn will reopen" |
Kelly does not really care about that and does not know whether Y March Gwyn will reopen.
| "Sticking a slice of ham in a wrap isn't priority" |
“When your Auntie and best friend has gone into a care home, sticking a slice of ham in a wrap isn’t high on the priority list. I’m going to Brynawelon now.”
| "Haven't you been before?" |
He is surprised that she has not been there before,
| "Give me a break!" |
but she snarls, “I said I’m going there now – give me a break!” and storms out.
| Siwsi and Indeg come in |
Siwsi and Indeg come in,
| "Have you been to see Gaynor?" |
so Rhys demands whether they have been to see Gaynor; he is told to chill out as everything is sorted.
| "But it's not sorted, is it?" |
Siwsi however maintains that it is not sorted; “She was so upset, I feel awful.”
| "Double vodka, lime and soda" |
Indeg blames everything on that Tom, then orders a double vodka, lime and soda.
| "Does the father know?" |
As they sit outside the hospital, Garry enquires whether the father knows. She confirms that he does and that it was a mistake, which is why she is there;
| "I've already taken one tablet" |
“I’ve already taken one pill to start things off, then I’ll take another one in two days time. Then it will be done – as if nothing’s happened.”
| "Sometimes mistakes happen for a reason" |
He asks if she is sure that is what she wants, insisting that sometimes mistakes happen for a reason, so she wonders what reason that would be and he suggests that perhaps it might have been a second chance.
| "Why does everyone think I want second chance" |
“Why does everyone think I want a second chance? Like another baby could take Seren’s place?” No-one will ever take her place.”
| "I, of all people, know that!" |
“Dani,” he insists, “I, of all people, know that!” She complains that he had no right to follow her, but he says that he was worried about her.
| "You hate not being able to control me" |
“You’re not worried about me – you just hate not being able to control me! Come on, then, why are you here?”
| "It was just a check-up" |
He once more dismisses it as a check-up and nothing major.
| "So its all right for you to stick your nose in" |
“So it’s all right for you to stick your nose into my business – but once it’s about you, everything is private – OK.”
| "Look after yourself, Dani" |
As she gets up, he tells her to look after herself.
| Colin distributes his posters |
Colin comes into the Deri, handing out the posters to all and sundry;
| "Man of the people – man of the Valley" |
“Mark Jones – man of the people – man of the valley.”
| "I'm Mark's campaign manager . . ." |
He announces to Siwsi and Indeg at the bar that he is Mark’s campaign manager. “The typo and the permanent marker is so cute,” observes Indeg, “But you should have asked me to do his make-up.”
| ". . . a clear and simple message" |
Colin explains to them that the problem with a lot of candidates is that they put too much information; “With Mark, we just want a clear and simple message.”
Unfortunately, he is unaware that Eileen is standing behind him;
| "That's why you slipped one into each newspaper!" |
she comments, “That’s why you’ve slipped one into each newspaper in the shop, is it?
| "Siôn found one in his paper!" |
“Siôn’s just found one inside his paper and I’ve found another ten newspapers in the shop.”
| "Is it just a coincidence?" |
He maintains that it is nothing to do with him, so she goes on, “It’s just a coincidence that you have some in your hand?” Indeg stresses that is part of his job as campaign manager.
| "The shop supports Siôn White – and no-one else" |
“You’ve been using the shop to canvass?” rages Eileen, then loudly proclaims to everyone in the pub, “The shop supports Siôn White and no-one else!”
| "Is Siôn standing?" |
Colin is amazed to learn that Siôn is also standing; Eileen warns him that if she hears of any other dirty trick,
| "Campaign Manager will be your full-time job!" |
being a ‘Campaign Manager’ will be his full-time job.
| "I could do Siôn's make-up" |
Indeg seizes the opportunity to suggest that she could do Siôn’s make-up.
| 'I'll kill him!" |
Colin growls, “I’ll kill him – I’ll kill him!” and rushes out of the Deri.
| Kelly arrives at Brynmor . . . |
Kelly arrives outside Brynawelon
| . . . looks very apprehensive . . . |
and looks up at the building with something approaching horror;
| . . . then chickens out |
then she loses her nerve and walks away again.
| Good to see that Maes-y-Deri is back in use again |
Colin has gone straight to Maes-y-Deri, which is now habitable again;
| "How was I supposed to know Siôn was standing?" |
“How was I supposed to know that Siôn was standing as well?” demands Mark. Colin is adamant that he should have been told.
| "That means they see me as a threat" |
Mark points out that the way Eileen and Siôn reacted means that they see him as a threat.
| "Eileen doesn't want a whiff of your campaign" |
“Eileen doesn’t want a whiff of your campaign in the shop from now on – you haven’t done anything else, have you?”
| At Cysgod y Glyn . . . |
Eleri is making herself a drink
| . . . Garry returns |
when Garry returns to Cysgod y Glyn;
| "Should you tell Britt?" |
“Look, I know you don’t want to talk about it, but don’t you think it’s time you told somebody about the cancer? Britt, perhaps? I know that it’s stage two now, but the doctor was so positive, especially if you take the tablets.”
| "I said no!" |
He angrily responds, “I said no!”
| "You'll have to face it one day" |
She points out that he will have to face it one day,
| She leaves the room |
then walks out of the room.
| Strangely, no mention of what the drug is? |
He takes a prescription from his pocket, thinks about it for a minute,
| It almost ends up in the bin . . . |
then it walks across to the kitchen bin and is about to dispose of it.
| . . . but he has second thoughts |
At the last minute, however, he gives the matter some more thought
| Eleri would have found it in the bin, anyway |
and changes his mind, putting the prescription back in his pocket.
