"Can you clean the cow shed?"

In the farmhouse, Sioned asks Howard if he can clean the cow shed today;  

"Is there any point?"

he replies, “Is there any point?   I’ve got packing to do, anyway.”   She tells him not to listen to her mother, promising that he can stay there with them until they leave.

"I understand how you feel"

“Listen, I understand how you feel, all right?   But we have to leave the farm in good condition,” she explains.

Howard bemoans all the work he has put into the place;  “And Eileen just passes it on to someone else – 

"And not just anyone"

“and not just anyone else – my own cousin!”

"We really need you at APD"

Mathew remind him that he has a job at APD as well and they really need him there.   

"But this is where I want to be"

He protests, “But this is where I wanted to be – I know the land, the stock, this house.”

"That chauvinistic pig!"

Sioned angrily agrees, “I’d much rather it was you than that chauvinistic pig!”

Talk of the devil!

At that moment, the aforementioned chauvinistic pig arrives, informing them, “Eileen asked me to check the stock – I’ll check the farm records as well – fetch them, will you?   

"Milk, two sugars, good girl"

“And I’ll have a cup of tea – milk, two sugars, good girl.”

Sioned is furious . . .

Sioned is absolutely furious, 

. . . but that is just what Howard expects

but Howard simply shakes his head.

"I thought they would never come"

Brynmor and Kath are talking in the Deri flat;  “I thought the day would never come when you would forgive me,” he says, but she quickly reminds him that she did not say anything about forgiving him.

"Accept it, perhaps and move on"

“Accept it, perhaps, and move on – but that’s different, isn’t it?”   Brynmor realises that they understand each other, 

Cassie comes in

but at that moment Cassie comes into the room, 

"What are you doing here?"

wanting to know what he is doing there.

"Do you want a cup of tea?"

Kath quickly changes the subject, quickly asking if they want a cup of tea, but Brynmor says that he has to go and see Eleri and will get a coffee on the way.   

"After being up all night"

“I need something to wake me up after being up all night.”   

"Only talking, Cassie"

Kath tries to persuade Cassie that they have been talking all night, as they had a lot to discuss.

“Do you have to see Eleri now?” she asks and he promises that he will not be long.

"I hope you know what you're doing"

As soon as he is out of the room, Cassie sighs, “Well I hope you know what you’re doing.”   Kath assures her that she does.

"It feels like a threat"

At number 9, Eleri tells Jinx, “Don’t look at me like that.”   Jinx wonders what she expects him to do, reminding her that buying the picture like that feels like a threat.

"There's no need to worry"

“I think he wants to let me know he’s still alive – there’s no need to worry.”   Her phone sounds, 

"It's Dad"

but when she realises that it is a call from her father, she ignores it.

"We have to go somewhere safe"

Jinx concludes, “Right – we’ll have to go somewhere safe.”   Again she maintains that he does not have to worry, as she will sort everything, so he demands what she is going to do.

"Just leave it with me"

“Just leave it with me,” is her evasive answer.

There is no sign of Indeg 

Dani has come to Y Felin, bringing Gabriel with her;  “Where is she?” panics Dani, “She’s not answering her phone – I can’t miss work today!”   Iolo agrees that neither can he, but Eileen looked after them yesterday 

"She's taking them to Folly Farm on Friday"

and is taking them to Folly farm on Friday.

"I can't afford that, Iolo"

Dani did not know about that and insists that she cannot afford for the children to go to places like that.   

Then Lleucu appears

Just at that moment, Lleucu comes downstairs, so they realise that here is the answer to their problems.

"Have you got plans today?"

“Hey – have you got plans today?   Would you mind looking after Gabs and Greta for us?” asks Iolo, while Dani points out that Indeg was meant to be doing so, but is not there.

"We're going to the beach"

Lleucu replies that she and Siwsi had planned to go to the beach.   Iolo offers £20, which is then increased to £30, 

"All right, then"

so Lleucu agrees and is called a lifesaver.   

"I'll be back as soon as possible"

Iolo assures her that he will be back as soon as possible 

"Behave yourselves"

and they warn the children to behave themselves.

"Do we need windbreakers?"

When they have gone, Siwsi comes downstairs, asking whether they need to take windbreakers, 

"Slight change of plan"

but then learns that there has been a slight change of plan.

"Garry, we need to talk"

At Cysgod y Glyn, Eleri is trying to contact Garry, insisting that they need to talk, but without success, when she finds that her father is outside the door,  so she goes down.

"What do you want?"

“What do you want?” she asks him on the doorstep.   

"You left the gallery in a hurry"

He remarks that she and Jinx left the gallery in a hurry last night.   

"You were acting like a teenager"

“I’m surprised you noticed – you were acting like a teenager,” she sneers.

"What's going on?"

“Right, out with it – what’s going on?”   

"Kyle is back"

Eleri advises him that Kyle is back.   

"I thought he was in jail"

Her father was under the impression that he was in jail, but is enlightened that he was given early release and came straight to Cwmderi.

"He wants to take me back to New York"

“He wants to take me back to New York – but I’ve moved on and I’m happy with Huw.   I thought it was sorted until I saw that he bought that picture – you might have forgotten what Kyle is like, but I haven’t – and I need him to accept that there’s no future for us.”

"Everything's under control here~"

Brynmor proposes to have a word with him, but Eleri is adamant, “I know him best – just go – everything’s under control here.”

Brynmor has doubts about that

Brynmor is not so sure of that and walks away.

"Everyone's on the beach today"

Lleucu is looking intently at her iPad as Siwsi comments, enviously, that everyone seems to be on the beach today.   “Sorry, Iolo was desperate,” says Lleucu.

Several messages arrive

Then her phone sounds several times, so Siwsi remarks that someone is popular;  “Oh my gosh – 

"Have you got a fella on the go:"

“have you got a fella on the go?   You’re blushing – who is it?   Come on, tell me everything.”

Someone upstairs calls for Lleucu

A voice from upstairs calls for Lleucu so she has to go up.   In the meantime, making sure that the coast is clear, 

Siwsi has a snoop . . .

Siwsi picks up the phone and has a look.   

. . . and is shocked by what she sees

What she sees appears to disturb her.

Brynmor is worried

After leaving Cysgod y Glyn, Brynmor walks slowly along the street then gets out his phone and makes a call;  

"I hear you've been in Cwmderi"

“Kyle?   It’s Brynmor – I hear you’ve been in Cwmderi.   

"She did what?"

“She did what?”

"I looked at your phone"

Lleucu returns downstairs, reporting that Greta dropped something.   Siwsi cannot resist commenting;  “I’m so sorry, but I did something I shouldn’t have – you had all those notifications and I thought it was a boy, so I looked at your phone.”

"First my bedroom, now my phone!"

“You rummaged through my bedroom and now you’ve been through my phone!” shouts Lleucu, 

"I'm worried, Lleucu"

but Siwsi points out that she saw something and is worried.   

"I don't want to talk about it"

Lleucu does not want to talk about it.

"Have you booked surgery?"

“Have you booked surgery?” Siwsi continues and is told that it is none of her business;  

"You had no right!"

she had no right.   Lleucu needs some space and leaves the house, 

"You can look after the kids!"

telling Siwsi that she can do the babysitting.

"What the hell came over you?"

Brynmor is back at Cysgod y Glyn – and has been let in this time.   “What the hell came over you?” he demands, 

"Putting a hit on Kyle!"

“Putting a hit on Kyle?   Oh, yes – you left that out of your sob story earlier.”

"Well, it didn't work!"

Eleri snarls, “Well, it didn’t work – Kyle’s still alive!”

"We have no choice, then"

“We have no choice, then – we’re going to New York – he’s expecting me to go as well – who knows what his plans are?   But he’s made it perfectly clear that if we don’t go to New York tomorrow, 

"He's going to report us to the FBI!"

“he’s going to report us to the FBI.   Yeah, we could be in jail for years.”

"He'll incriminate himself"

Eleri maintain that he is bluffing, because if he reports them, he will incriminate himself.   

"He'd rather that than you being with Jinx"

Her father correct her, “He’d rather the three of us went to jail than for you to be here with Jinx.”

"I'm not going"

She makes it crystal clear that she is not going.

Lleucu is in the street
Lleucu walks past the deli, wearing her headphones, when Iolo comes out and is surprised to see her;  

"Where are the children?"

“Where are the children?” he asks 

"Siwsi's with them"

and is told that they are with Siwsi.   

"She's a 'good egg'!"

He is sorry that they missed out on the beach today and remarks that Siwsi is a ‘good egg’.

Hywel has a problem with Cwmfest

Then Hywel comes along and wants a word with Lleucu;  “The headliners for Cwmfest have pulled out – do you know of any contemporary bands that might replace them?   

"If you think of anything, let me know"

“If you think of anything, let me know.   The community council has donated a lot of money.”

Lleucu recommends a band from school

Then Lleucu has an idea;  “Mursen a’r Pawennau, [Mursen and the Paws], a band from school – they’re brilliant.”   Hywel says that would be great.

"I'm going tom book two seats to New York"

Brynmor informs his daughter, “I’m going to book two seats on a flight to New York tomorrow night – OK?”

"It was your idea!"

Eleri shouts, “Why do I have to pay the price for this?   It was your idea to pay Kyle to go to jail for me.”   

"Playing gangsters!"

He points out that she has made things a hundred times worse by playing gangsters.

"I'll come with you"

“Listen, I’ll come with you, but I don’t know how long Kyle will want me there.”   

"I'm happy here with Huw"

Eleri once again insists that she is happy there with Huw and begs her father.

"Do you think this is easy for me?"

“Do you think this is easy for me?” demands Brynmor, “Do you know how long it’s taken Kath to give me another chance?   

"I'm losing her again – because of you!"

“And now I’m losing her again – because of you!”

"Better make the most off the time we have"

He looks accusingly at his daughter, then recommends, “We’d better make the most of the time we have left here,” before he turns and leaves the flat.  

Eleri looks devastated

Eleri looks devastated.

Howard is in the farmyard

As Howard walks around a corner in the farmyard, he comes across Dorian, who asks, “What have you been doing on this farm?   

"It's a shambles!"

“It’s a shambles – worse than that bum-fluff on your face!”

"Why did you want to come here?"

Howard cannot understand why he wanted to come to this farm in the first place;  

"I saw a chance for some cash"

“I don’t know – I saw a chance for some cash.”

"You would never have heard of Penrhewl but for me"

“You would never have heard of Penrhewl if it wasn’t for me!” growls Howard.

“Business is business – and a pigsty is a pigsty,” responds Dorian, “Unlike you, I have a family to support.”   

"Don't talk about my family like that"

Howard says that he has heard otherwise, but is warned, “Don’t talk about my family like that!”

Howard goes on, “You don’t know how lucky you are – what am I supposed to do now?  You’ve stolen my job, my home – 

"The closest thing I have to a family"

“and the closest thing I have to a family.”   

"You call them a 'family'?"

Dorian simply laughs at him.

"I'll speak to you tomorrow"

When Lleucu gets back to Y Felin, she is talking on the phone;  “I’ll speak to you tomorrow, then.”   

"I was talking to the lead singer`'

Siwsi asks if she is OK and is told, “I was talking to the lead singer of Mursen a’r Pawennau – and they’re keen to play at Cwmfest.   I’m just helping Hywel.”

"I'm sorry for looking at your phone`"

Siwsi raises the subject from earlier;  “I have to say that I’m sorry for looking at your phone.”   Lleucu realises that she overreacted, storming off and leaving Siwsi with the kids.

"Have you booked surgery?"

“I’m worried about you – and I know you don’t want to talk about it, but please tell me, have you booked surgery?” asks Siwsi.

"I am considering Rhinoplasty"

“No – and I’m not looking into it either – but I am considering rhinoplasty – 

"My nose is too big" – What utter rubbish!

“my nose is too big!”   

"You're perfect as you are"

Siwsi insists that she is perfect as she is, but she says that she cannot look at herself;  

"I feel disgusting"

“It’s the first thing I notice in every photo and I feel disgusting.   You’re going to lie to me now that my nose isn’t massive – and I don’t want to hear it.”

"There are injections and implants . . ."

Siwsi points out that although it is not surgical, there are injections and implants, but Lleucu maintains that she is just looking into it

". . . please be careful"

“Please be careful – I’ve heard horror stories and there are lots of dodgy places out there.”

Lleucu insists that she knows what she is doing, 

"Thanks for caring"

“But thanks for caring – please don’t tell anyone about this.”

"I wish you saw yourself the way I see you"

Siwsi comments, “I just wish you saw yourself the way I see you.”

Dorian is scathing about the accounts

Dorian is sitting at the kitchen table in Penrhewl, looking at the farm paperwork, with which he is not impressed;  “Did the children or the virgin do these records for you?”

"Let's see what sort of job you do"

“Let’s see what sort of job you do, shall we?” sneers Sioned.   

"I won't be keeping the stock"

He has made up his mind that he will not be keeping the stock, but would rather get his own.   Sioned reminds him that was not what was agreed.

"There's no telling what he's been breeding"

“It’s better to start over – there’s no telling what sort of stock he’s been breeding – you can sort the sale and I’ll want to move in next month.”

"That's not possible"

Both Sioned and Mathew protest that does not give them much time, selling the stock and clearing the house.   “That’s not possible.

"You can leave . . . the virgin"

“You’re welcome to leave a few things – the television, the carpets, the virgin?”   

"Howard is needed at APD"

Mathew is adamant that Howard is needed at APD and is not willing to share him with the farm.

"I'll buy him!"

“I’ll buy him – how much are you charging?”

"Hey, I'm not a slave!"

Howard is incensed by this;  “Hey, I’m not a slave!   I don’t want to work for either of you!   

"APD and Penrhewl can go to hell!"

“APD and Penrhewl can go to hell!” as he storms out of the house.   

Dorian simply smirks

Dorian looks quite pleased with himself.

They thank Lleucu

Dani comes back to collect Gabriel and is very grateful to Lleucu for looking after him;  

Dani and Gabriel leave

as she leaves the house, Dani would like Iolo’s opinion on something.   

Dani has selected a photo of Seren

“Scarlet’s family want a photo of Seren.”   She shows one to him, 

"That's perfect, Dan"

which he regards as perfect.

"That's lovely"

“We’ve been writing – they want to know everything,” and Iolo thinks that is lovely.   

Iolo goes to find Greta

Then he wants to see Greta and is told that she is upstairs.

Lleucu has a phone call

Meanwhile, Lleucu receives a call on her phone;  

"Yes, I'm still interested"

“Yes, I am still interested in a consultation,” she says.

"Is it all right to come in?"

Brynmor returns to the Deri flat, carrying a bottle;  he asks Kath if it is all right to come in.    

"I thought you'd left again"

She wonders where he has been;  “I thought you’d left again.”

"A bit of drama with Eleri"

He replies that there has been a bit of drama with Eleri, but that everything is sorted now, “So you’ve got me all to yourself – if you’ll take me.”   

Kath does not answer

She looks undecided about this.

"I've spoken to my cousin in Blainau"

Eleri visits number 9, where Jinx informs her that he has spoken to his cousin in Blaenau and they can stay there.   

"Do you think we'll be safe there?"

“Do you think we’ll be safe there until we have a better plan?”

"It's not going to be a problem for you"

She answers that he does not have to worry about it any more;  “It’s not going to be a problem for you – you’re safe, I promise.”   

And then she is gone again

Having said that, she immediately leaves the house again.

"I'm sorry Eleri always comes between us"

Brynmor tells Kath, “I’m sorry that Eleri always comes between us – but I came back here for you and no-one else.   

"I know I've wronged you"

“Listen, I know I’ve wronged you and this village – and I really regret it, but, for tonight, let’s forget about what’s happened 

"I still love you"

“and just enjoy each other’s company.   I meant what I said last night – I still love you.”   

Brynmor has other things on his mind

Kath gives him a hug, but Brynmor has a haunted look about him.
