"Well, this is a disaster!"

Kath has been called to look at the situation in Maes-y-Deri;  she exclaims, “Well, this is a disaster!    Have you got any idea what happened?”   Neither Mark nor Dani can answer that question.

"You probably didn't turn the water off"

“You probably didn’t turn the water off after having a shower!” Kath continues, but he protests that he did not have a shower yesterday.   She is not the least surprised at that.

Mark asks if Dani noticed anything when she came back yesterday;  

"What – apart from the waterfall?" 

What – apart from the waterfall coming through the ceiling?” she answers, “No, not really, Mark.”

"Go and check where it's coming from"

Kath sends Mark up to the bathroom to check where it is coming from, but he points out that there is no floor, which she does not regard as any good excuse.   “Get up there, you dawdler – go on!   

"Oh, what a mess!"

“Oh – what a mess,” she groans.

"You had a nice lie-in, then?"

Iolo comes downstairs at Y Felin, with Lleucu commenting that he has had a nice lie-in this morning and wondering where Greta is.   He says that she is still asleep, 

"Why's Greta not at school?"

so Lleucu wants to know why she is not at school.

"I'm not going to give Liv a chance"

“The thing is, she’s not going to school – I’m not going to give Liv a chance to take her, too.”   

"You may be going a bit . . ."

Lleucu suspects that he may be going a bit . . . and he offers some suggestions;  

"Over the top?    Paranoid?"

“Over the top?   Paranoid?   I’m protecting Greta.”

"She's be safe at school"

Lleucu is sure that she will be safe at school if he explains the situation to the staff.   Then there is a knock at the door, which he forbid Lleucu to answer, but she does so, anyway, then is  very surprised to see who it is outside.

"Can I come in?"

“Can I come in?” asks Liv.   Lleucu will make herself scarce by going to make a cup of tea, 

He does not look very welcoming

while Iolo simply glowers at Liv.

"There's a terrible mess up there"

Mark comes downstairs again, reporting, “There’s a terrible mess up there;  we can't come back until they check those floorboards are safe.”   His mother wants to know where the water has come from.   When he replies, “The bathroom,” 

"Yes, I know that, Sherlock!"

she wants to know where in the bathroom.

"Someone left the tap running"

“Well, the sink is full and the plug is still in it, so somebody left the tap running – it wasn’t me, Mam!   

"Do you think Gwern or Gabs did it?"

“Do you think Gwern or Gabs could have done it by accident?”

Dani says that she was the last one out in the morning and she came back with Indeg . . .

"And Anita!"

and Anita;  both Mark and his mother realise that that is probably the answer.

Meanwhile at number 7, Anita is sitting, staring into space alongside Indeg, 

"How about a cup of coffee?"

when Ieuan suggests having a cup of coffee, but Anita does not seem to hear him.   

"Damn – no milk!"

Then he discovers that there is no milk, so Indeg has the idea that they could go to Tamed;  

"We could get a takeaway"

We could get some fresh air and a takeaway – your treat, Tycs?”

"Has Colin gone?"

He hurries upstairs to get his coat and Anita says, “Has he gone?   Colin?”   Indeg does not know who Colin is, 

"He was in the bathroom – I had a fright!"

and is told, “He was in the bathroom – I had a fright!   Thank goodness you and that girl were there”

Indeg assumes that she is talking about Maes-y-Deri, stressing that there was not anyone called Colin there;  “It was just you, me and Dani,” 

"I saw Colin – in the sink!"

but Anita is insistent that she saw Colin – in the sink – and then there was water everywhere – I’ve done something terrible, haven’t I?”

"You haven't done anything . . ."

Indeg assures her that she has not done anything;  

". . . let's go and have a nice breakfast"

“Come on, let’s go and have a nice breakfast in Tamed.”

"Where is Tyler?"

“Where is Tyler?” demands Iolo and is informed that he is with a friend, nobody he knows.  

"Do you think I'd take him, like you did?"

Iolo wants to see the baby, but she does not think that is a good idea.   “Why, do you think I’d take him, like you did?”

"I just want to explain"

She insists that all she wants to do today is to explain why she did it – and she wants to apologise.

"You regret giving him to me, do you?"

“You regret saying you’re giving him to me, so you took him!” Iolo snarls, “You’re sorry, but he’s not coming back – is that the gist of it, Liv?”   

"There's more to it than that"

She maintains that there is more to it but she suppose that sums it up.   Once again, she says that she is sorry and she would like it if Iolo and Greta were still part of his life.

"I don't want anything to do with you!"

He makes it very clear, “I don’t want anything to do with you, Liv – and Ty deserves a lot better than you!”   

"I want to do it right this time"

She maintains that she just wants an opportunity to do it right this time and she does not need his permission to do that.   

She walks out of Y Felin . . .

So saying, she turns and walks out of the house, 

. . . with Iolo scowling at her

leaving Iolo with an angry scowl on his face.

"There's no-one home, Dan"

Mark and Dani have gone to number 7 where they knock on the door, 

"Is something wrong?"

but then Anita, Ieuan and Indeg come out of Tamed with their takeaways.   

"The ceiling collapsed at Maes-y-Deri!"

Mark advises them that the ceiling collapsed at Maes-y-Deri yesterday;  “We’re not quite sure what happened but we think someone left the tap on.”

"Colin was at Maes-y-Deri – in the bathroom"

Ieuan offers to send someone from APD to come and check the damage, but Anita interrupts, “Colin was at Maes-y-Deri yesterday – he was in the bathroom.”

"Colin wasn't there"

Mark cannot understand this and Dani insists Colin was not there, so Indeg decides that she will take the blame;  

"It was me – I left the taps on"

“It was me – I left the taps on – I went up before leaving to wash the brushes after the makeover – and it must have been me – I’m so sorry.”

"How could you be so stupid?"

Ieuan cannot believe that she is serious;  “How could you be so stupid?”   

"It was Colin!"

Anita is still vociferously insisting that it was Colin, but Ieuan is anxious to get her home, apologising for his granddaughter’s stupidity.

Dani's suspicions are aroused

Mark ask him to send someone over to look at the damage;  

"I'm so sorry, Dani"

Dani looks very suspicious about Indeg’s confession.

Hywel leaves the Quantum Hydro Works office

Hywel has just come out of the Quantum Hydro Works office, locking the door behind him, then notices Lleucu standing forlornly outside the Ceffyl Du brewery, which she has found to be closed.   

"Rhys is away today"

He explains that Rhys is away.

She tells him, “Eileen is on one today – she threw me out of Tamed for being there an hour without buying anything.   The Wi-Fi at the Deri is rubbish – 

"I need somewhere quiet to do some coursework"

“I just need somewhere quiet to do some coursework.

"I'll get my spare key"

Hywel has a spare key to the brewery and agrees to let her in if she promises to buy a bottle of water or a packet of pork scratchings.

Ieuan inspects the damage

Ieuan has taken some photographs with his phone of the conditions in Maes-y-Deri;  “This is going to take a long time to dry out – you didn’t stay here last night, did you?”   

"We were with Mam and Cassie"

Mark replies that they were with his mother and Cassie;  he wonders how much it might cost.

Ieuan has no idea;  “Mathew might have a better idea when he sees these pictures, 

"Looks like it will cost thousands . . ."

“but I would have thought thousands, if you think about the damage to the ceiling, the carpets and the electrics – I’m sure the insurance will cover it – 

". . . you do have insurance, don't you?"

“you do have insurance, don’t you?”

"Some idiot left he taps on!"

Mark confirms that they do, “But I’m not sure whether they pay out if some idiot left the taps on.”

"If you call Indeg an idiot again . . ."

Ieuan is rather touchy about that;  “If you call Indeg an idiot again, you’ll have more than a hole in the ceiling to worry about!”   

"That's what you called her"

Mark reminds him that he used the very same term himself, 

"Yeah, but I'm her grandfather"

which he justifies by explaining he is her grandfather

"But if they don't pay out?"

“What are we going to do if they don’t pay out?” Mark wants to know.   Ieuan asks what he has told the insurers;  “That I have no idea where the water came from.”   

Ieuan says that is very wise and gives him time to think.

"They'll work it out straightaway"

“But they are sending someone over – they’ll work it out straightaway,” frets Mark, 

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it"

but Ieuan promises that they will cross that bridge when they come to it.

Liv is almost home again . . . 

As Liv returns to where she lives, 

. . . but she is being followed

there is a figure following her at a distance along the street, watching 

Her address is noted . . .

 she goes up to the door of number 15 and lets herself in.   

. . . and Iolo walks away, quite satisfied

Iolo looks very pleased at what he has discovered.

"What's the damage, then, Tycs?"

Ieuan is now back at number seven, where Indeg wants to know what is the damage.   

"The insurance will cover it"

He is sure that the insurance will cover it, 

"I can't afford to pay"

but she exclaims, “What if it doesn’t?   I can’t afford to pay!”

"Why did you take the blame?"

There is a knock at the door and Dani comes in;  going directly to Indeg, she asks, “Well?   Why did you take the blame?”   

"I don't know what you're talking about"

Indeg bluffs that she does not know what Dani is talking about.

"She didn't leave the taps on – it was Anita"

Dani informs Ieuan, “She didn’t leave the taps on – it was Anita.”

Lleucu is enjoying the peace . . .

Inside the Ceffyl Du brewery, Hywel is doing a bit of cleaning, while Lleucu gets on with her coursework.   

. . . until Hywel pipes up

He says, “Lleucu, tell me, what do you think of this place?”

“It’s fine,” she replies, “It’s quiet – idea for doing some work – if people don’t disturb you.”

He wonders whether it could do with a new vibe;  

"Do you think your friends would come here?"

“Do you think your friends would come over to drink – when you’re 18, of course?”

"Do you sell anything other than smelly beer?"

“Do you sell anything other than smelly beer?” she rather distastefully. asks, to which he replies that they do cider and that stuff she is drinking.   

"We'll probably go to the Deri"

“We’ll probably go to the Deri – they sell everything, don’t they?” is her reply.

"Yes, you're right"

Hywel realises that what she says is right and enquires whether she would like another one.   

"What's going on?"

Just then, Rhys comes in, wanting to know what is going on.

"I thought it was a pity you were closed"

“Well, I thought it was a pity that you were closed,” his father tells him, “And work was quiet for me.”

"Without phoning me to check?"

“So you opened without even phoning to check with me?”  Hywel protests that he does not want to see his son losing money.   Looking around the place, Rhys sneers, “It looks worth it – thanks.”

"He's only trying to help, Rhys"

Lleucu pipes up to say that his father is only trying to help;  

"Well, I don't need his help!"

“And as I’ve told him before, I don’t need his help,” Rhys growls.

"Just tell he truth, Indeg!"

Dani continues that Mark is really stressed about the matter and urges Indeg, “Just tell the truth!”

"I was worried it would be too much for her"

“But Anita is so confused, with Colin and the taps – I’m worried it will be too much for her.”   

"You can't take the blame"

Ieuan considers it lovely that she is looking out for Anita, but insists that she cannot take the blame.   

"I'm thousands of points in debt"

“But I have – and now I’m thousands of pounds in debt – 

Dani is amused by this

“and I’m only 25!”

Her grandfather assures her that everything will be fine, but he does consider that she should tell Mark the truth, telling her that Dani is right.  

"Anita doesn't have to know, does she?"

Indeg maintains that Anita does not have to know and Ieuan agrees to that.

"I know I should have phoned"

In the brewery, Hywel admits that he should have phoned before opening up, but he did not want to disturb his son at those important meetings.   

"How did the trip go?"

“How did the trip go?”

"Not great"

Rhys says that it was not great, but his father maintains that something good might come out of it.   “I’ve been offered a spot at a few festivals over the next few weeks – so I’ll be away a bit – but they’re charging a fortune for a stall, so it depends if I sell enough to make it worthwhile.”

"It might be better to focus on the brewery"

Hywel agrees that it might be better if he focused on the brewery for now, 

"That won't be enough"

but Rhys doubts that it will be enough.   

"Dani told me about the rent increase"

Hywel adds, “Yeah, Dani told me that Garry is thinking of increasing the rent again,” he adds, so now Rhys knows why he wanted to help.

"You want to be the big man who saves the day"

“You want to be the big man who saves the day, do you?”   

"I don't want the place to fail"

Hywel insists that he does not want the place to fail and he is prepared to spend money to see his son through this difficult time.   He does not want an answer now.

"If you want to help, you an serve Iolo"

“If you want to help, you can serve Iolo,” he is told.

"What happened?"

Iolo has just come in and sits down by Lleucu, to inform her of what has happened;  

"She wants to keep Tyler"

“Well, she said she would never take Greta, but she wants to keep Tyler.”   

"That's not a total shock, is it?"

Lleucu points out that it is not a total shock, as she was so attached to him when she left hospital.

"I'm his father!"   No, Iolo – you have no connection with him

“And I’m attached, too,” complains Iolo, “I’m his father!”   

"I'm sure Tyler will be OK"

Lleucu is sure that Tyler will be OK and asks where Greta is.   She learns that Siôn is babysitting tonight and was looking forward to spending time with her.

"Greta will be writing Cynghanedd!"

Lleucu predicts, “You’ll go home tonight and Greta will be writing cynghanedd!”   [The particularly Welsh concept of sound-arrangement within one line, using stress, alliteration and rhyme, greatly loved by Siôn.]

"I've found out where she lives!"

Iolo has some important information to reveal;  “I’ve found out where she lives – and I’ve spoken to my solicitor who thinks I’ve got a chance – a chance to get him back!”

"Yes, I do – definitely!"

Lleucu asks if he is sure that he wants to do this and he is definitely determined.   Hywel brings his drink across.

"Heard from the insurance people?"

“Have you heard from them?” Kath asks Mark, “The insurance people?”   He is waiting for them to get back to him.   

"You know how it works, Mam"

He points out to his mother that she knows how it works;  he makes an official claim, lists everything that is damaged and there is an inspection.

“I don’t know when that will be – I’m waiting to hear back!   

"I'm checking funeral costs"

“If you must know, I’m checking funeral costs – on top of everything else, I’ve got to sort that out too.”

Kath is adamant that Gaynor should be paying for that, 

"I don't want a penny from her!"

but he is insistent that he does not want a penny from her.

"Sorry to interrupt"

Ieuan and Indeg walk in and apologises for the interruption;  

Indeg has brought peace offerings

Indeg has brought with her some cosmetic items, explaining that she has brought a gift to cheer them up

"I'll get something for these at the car boot"

Kath looks through them and comments, “I’ll get something for these at the car boot.”   Mark is also not impressed and insists that he does not take bribes.

"It's a difficult situation"

Ieuan maintains that it is just something to put a smile on his face in a difficult situation.   

"It wouldn't be if she hadn't forgotten to turn the taps off!"

“There wouldn’t be a difficult situation if she hadn’t forgotten to turn the taps off!” Mark snarls.

"It wasn't Indeg"

Ieuan continues, “I wanted to discuss that — because it wasn’t Indeg.”   

"She's already confessed"

Kath is adamant that she cannot deny it because she has already confessed.

"It was Anita"

“It was Anita,” says Ieuan, 

"You're not putting the blame on a woman who's ill?"

but Kath cannot believe that they are putting the blame on a woman who is ill.   

"She took the blame to protect Anita"

Indeg interrupts to say that she took the blame to protect Anita because she was upset.

Ieuan would appreciate it if they did not have to drag Anita into this unnecessarily;  

"The insurance will pay out . . . won't it?"

“After all, the insurance will pay out and everything will be hunky-dory . . . won’t it?”

"Going through the courts can be so messy"

“Going through the courts can be so messy, can’t it?” Lleucu comments, “Are you sure you want to put little Tyler through that?”   Iolo reminds her that he is just a baby and does not have any idea what is going on.   In any case, he reckons that the child will thank him in the end.

"What's the latest?"

Dani comes in to join them, asking what is the latest;  Lleucu replies, “He’s spoken to his solicitor today – with Liv’s background, they think he could get Tyler back.”

"And now I know where she lives"

Iolo adds, “And now I know where she lives, so . . .”

Dani enquires who are his solicitors, and is told, Garry Patchett, Llanelli.”

"They're crooks!"

She has a little inside knowledge and warns against them, maintaining that they are crooks and that he should not waste his time.   “I can’t leave him in that dump – he’s not safe!” Iolo exclaims.

"You could phone social services"

Lleucu suggests, if you really don’t think he's safe, you could phone social services.”

"Liv is trouble!"

Dani tells him that he should do what he wants, but her opinion is that he should stay out of it;  “Liv is trouble – at least she might be out of your lives for ever now.”

"If I don't look out for him, who will?"

Iolo is becoming emotional as he points out, “We’re talking about a newborn baby here, Dan – a baby I was prepared to be a father to – so if I don’t look out for him, who will?”
