"Kyle!"

Eleri is just out of bed and is looking for Kyle, 

There is no sign of him

but he is nowhere to be seen in the flat.

"Please – your make-up's banging!"

At Y Felin, Indeg is pleading with Lleucu;  “Please?   Your make-up’s banging.”

"Will you stop going on about it?"

“Will you stop going on about it?   I’ve said no!” is Lleucu’s angry reply,   Iolo comes downstairs and witnesses this altercation.  

Lleucu puts on her jacket . . .

“She wants to take my photo in front of that door for Instagram,” Lleucu complains, but Indeg maintains that the way she is contoured is like Kim Kardashian.

. . . and leaves for work

Lleucu leaves for work, as Indeg is warned, 

"Not everybody enjoys being on social media"

“Not everybody enjoys being on social media.   Anyway, Greta says she is ill, but I think she just doesn’t want to go to school.”   

"I hated school"

Indeg does not blame her, as she hated school.

"If you think she's pretending . . ."

“If you think she’s better, or pretending – can you take her to school please?”   Indeg is happy to do that and promises that she will look after ‘little sis’.   

"You're very close, aren't you?"

“You’re very close, aren’t you?” observes Iolo.

"The little sister I never had"

“The little sister I never had – you don’t have to be a blood relative to be family.   Iolo agrees that she is right and thanks her.

On her way to the shop . . .

On her way to work, Lleucu notices 

. . . Lleucu notices a couple of boys

a couple of schoolboys laughing over something on their phone 

She looks at her phone

and at that moment her phone sounds, 

Her photo . . . 

with the original photo she published, followed by a lot of comments, 

. . . now has some unwelcome comments

including, ‘She thinks she looks gorgeous’ and ‘You’re making a fool of yourself’.   Now she is feeling very embarrassed.

Siwsi goes about her duties . . . 

At Brynawelon, Siwsi takes one of the residents a cup of tea, then notices that the office door is open, 

. . . and notices the office door open . . .

so she investigates.   She is shocked to see the mess which Kyle left behind 

. . . with that sketch pinned to the wall

and Jinx’s sketch of Eleri, which is pinned to the wall.   

She phones Eleri . . .

She immediately phones Eleri.

. . . who has other things on her mind at the moment

However, when she sees that the call is from Siwsi, Eleri rejects it;  

"You should have everything by six"

Garry is informing her that they should have the passports and everything by six.   Eleri regards that as very tight, but he suggests, “Perhaps it’s better that way – no time to overthink things – and time for you to tell Jinx.   I can’t believe that he doesn’t already know.”

"What if he won't come with me?"

She is worried;  “What if he won’t come with me?”   Garry understands that she is scared, so the sooner she tells him, the better.   Her phone sounds again and again she rejects the call.   

"Good luck"

Garry wishes her good luck as she leaves the flat.

Greta comes downstairs

Greta comes downstairs and is asked if she feels better;  

"Not really"

“Not really,” she answers.   

"I can tell you're not well enough"

Indeg says that she can tell Greta is not well enough to go to school;  she agrees wholeheartedly with that.

“I’ve got some ideas on what can make you feel better;  how would you like to do some cooking?   Pink cakes to match the door.”

"Can you do my face like yours?"

Greta is in favour of that and asks, “Can you do my face like yours?”   

"Sit down, madame"

Indeg will be delighted to do so, inviting her to sit down.

"How do I make you even more beautiful?"

“Now the problem is, I don’t know how to make this beautiful face even more beautiful.”

Eleri is about to go into number 9 . . .

Eleri approaches the door of number 9, but as she is about to put the key into the lock, 

. . . when she gets the news about Brynawelon 

her phone sounds yet again and this time she answers it, rather abruptly.   “I’m a bit busy, Siwsi!   What?   Don’t do anything– I’ll be over now!”

"Edible flower petals?"

Indeg and Greta are at the shop, obtaining icing sugar, but they do not stock edible flower petals, 

"How about sprinkles?"

Eileen explaining that there is not much call for them, but they do have sprinkles.

Eileen asks if Greta is going to a fancy dress party, with the make-up.   

"We're going to have some fun this morning"

Indeg explains that they are going to have some fun this morning, as Greta is not feeling well, so she is having a day off school.

"You look prettier without it"

“I think you look a lot prettier without it,” Eileen remarks, 

"You've got a house full of patients"

“You’ve got a house full of patients today, then.   Lleucu’s phoned to say that she’s ill – and now Greta – you do live in the same house.”

Indeg improvises to say that Lleucu is in bed, so she has not seen her 

"She's got PMT"

and Greta helpful adds, “She’s got PMT.”   Indeg picks up their box of baking ingredients and is a hurry to leave.

The office is in a mess . . .

Eleri arrives at her office to find paperwork and boxes strewn across the floor.   Siwsi has not phoned the police as she is not sure if anything has been stolen.   

. . . but Eleri knows exactly who is responsible

When she sees the sketch pinned to the wall, 

"I'll check everything"

Eleri says that she will go through everything and see if anything is missing.   She warns Siwsi not to touch anything.

Kyle approaches

Then there is the sound of a slow handclap as Kyle approaches;  

"What a double bluff!"

“Congratulations, Eleri!   What a double bluff – making me believe that Garry was your love interest – but it was the artist all the time!”

"Outside, now!"

Eleri instructs him that they will go outside to talk.

"You left me with no choice . . ."

“You left me with no choice – 

". . . I said I didn't love you"

“I said I wanted a divorce and that I didn’t love you any more!”

"You said I deserved a chance"

“You said I deserved a chance – that things would be different in New York,” he snarls.

She replies, “You said that – you insisted that I owed you that.”   He now realises that it was all lies that she wanted to give him a chance.   Again, she insists, “I told you the truth and you refused to listen.”

"The useless artist?"

“Come on, Eleri – the useless artist?   Will he ever come to visit you in prison?   Forgive the things you’ve done?”

"I'd prefer to be in prison than to be with you!"

She informs him, “I’d prefer to be in prison than be with you!”

He appears to be in a murderous mood

“Don’t you dare!” he shouts as he seizes her, pinning her against the wall and apparently doing his best to asphyxiate her.   

Was things are getting really violent . . .

Fortunately, a nearby door opens 

. . . he is disturbed

and one of the staff brings out some rubbish, so he quickly pretends to be kissing her.

"You've made the biggest mistake of your life!"

“You’ve made the biggest mistake of your life!” he promises, 

Eleri has had a narrow escape

before he walks away.

She tells Garry all about it

Garry is speaking on the phone;  “Whoa, now – was anything stolen from the office?   So he broke into the cabinet?   

"Go to Jinx and tell him what's going on"

“Go to Jinx and tell him what’s going on – I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

"Will Lleucu be back tomorrow?"

Now Iolo is in the shop and Eileen enquires, “Do you think Lleucu will be back tomorrow?   She phoned in sick.”   

Iolo knows nothing about it

This comes as news to Iolo and she wonders, “Does anyone know what’s going on in that house?   Indeg came in with Greta and she didn’t know Lleucu was ill.”

"Greta was here?"

Iolo is surprised that Greta was in the shop;  

"Yes, with a face full of make-up"

“Yes, with a face full of make up – look, there’s a photo here, on Indeg’s Instagram account – 

Iolo is very concerned

“I use social media with Cae Glas.”

Iolo is very concerned that there are loads of photos of Greta there;  

"I don't want to interfere" . . . pull the other one!

“I don’t want to interfere, but Indeg’s not a good influence – I think she’s a bit of a loser.”

"I'm sorry for everything"

Eleri comes into number 9;  “I’m sorry for everything I’m about to tell you,” she begins, “I thought I was doing the right thing, but it’s such a mess!”

"Come on – sit down"

Jinx tells her to sit down and everything will be all right;  “Whatever it is, we’ll sort it, OK?

"I'm married – to Kyle"

“I’m married – to Kyle, the man I was in the restaurant with.”

Jinx cannot believe his ears.   “I should have told you, but I was trying to keep you safe.”

"You're married?"

“You’re married?” he gasps, 

"It's in name only"

but she points out that it is in name only.

“Kyle was in prison in New York – he wasn’t supposed to be out for another two years, 

"He turned up a few weeks ago"

“but he turned up a few weeks ago.”

Jinx is trying to get his head around this;  

"So you've been hiding a husband in jail!"

“OK, so you’ve been hiding a husband in jail since coming to Cwmderi?”   

"It's not something I'm proud of"

She maintains that it is not something she is proud of and, in any case, the marriage was over.   

"Did he know that?"

“Did he know that?” Jinx demands.

"He doesn't want to know – that's the problem!"

“He doesn’t want to know – that’s the problem!   He turned up without any warning, expecting things to go back to how they were – that we were still husband and wife.   He went back to the States and expected me to follow him.   I sent him divorce papers – the next thing he was back here, refusing to sign the papers and insisting that I go back with him.”

There is a knock at the door

There is an ominous knock on the door which Jinx goes to answer.   

"Are you ready to go?"

It is, as expected, Garry Monk, who asks if they are ready to go.

"You knew about this?"

“You knew about this?   That she’s married?” demands Jinx.   

"I know it's a lot to take in"

Garry appreciates that this is a lot to take in, but Eleri insists that they have to go.

"Kyle wants to kill us!"

“Kyle knows about us and he wants to kill us,” she explains, with Garry adding that he is a ‘psycho’.   

"I'm meeting a client tomorrow"

Jinx is meeting a client tomorrow, but is overruled by Garry that he is not;  

"No – you've got five minutes"

instead, he is going to pack his bag and has five minutes.

“Huw, we don’t have a choice,” begs Eleri, “I want you to come with me.”

Iolo is not happy

Indeg and Siwsi are sitting on the sofa at Y Felin with some iced cakes when Iolo returns, not in a good mood.   He is told that Greta is in her room.

“We’ve made cakes for you to take to the parents’ committee tomorrow – to impress Mr Gorgeous,” Indeg informs him.

"Yes, I saw on Instagram . . . "

“Yes, I saw on Instagram – 

". . . and Greta with a face full of make-up!"

“and Greta with a face full of make up!”   

"I was beign a bit creative"

Indeg says that she was just being a bit creative, 

"She isn't 'content' – she's eight years old!"

but is told, “Greta isn’t ‘content’ – she’s eight years old – you’ve got hundreds of followers.   

"You could have perverts following you!"

“You could have perverts following you, sending those pictures to other perverts!”

She admits that she just did not think;  

"That's your problem, Indeg – you never think!"

“That’s your problem, Indeg – you never think!   That’s why Greta goes to school saying she’s got a hangover!   That’s why Lleucu’s always heartbroken over Ows – 

"And why my door's pink!"

“and why my door’s pink!”

They are 'holed up' in the MFC flat

As she looks down from the window of the MFC flat, 

Eleri recalls how she met Kyle

Eleri says, “When I first went to New York, I contacted a lot of companies, looking for a job.   Kyle had connections with Wales, so he asked me to come over for a chat.”

"Love at first sight"

Jinx imagines that it was love at first sight, 

"I was in live with the possibilities"

but she says that she was in love with the city and all the possibilities he could give to her.

"Who said that romance was dead?"

“Who said that romance was dead?” sneers Jinx, but she maintains that we all have to do what we have to do.

“Before I could turn round, he offered me a job and I was helping him in his business – it was great to start with, 

"The figures didn't quite match"

“but I began to realise that the figures didn’t quite match.   Huge amounts of money were coming in for jobs that didn’t exist, but he always had an excuse, an explanation.

"And you had no idea what he was doing?"

“And you had no idea what he was doing?”

"By then I was in too deep"

“By then, I was in too deep – everything was so easy, it was a great company to work for – it didn’t feel wrong somehow.   I hate myself for dealing with everything so badly.”

"You couldn't have handled things any worse"

Jinx can understand that, “Because you couldn’t have handled things any worse, really.”   He walks through into the kitchen.

Indeg looks sufficiently repentant 

At Y Felin, Indeg is in tears and when Iolo comes back downstairs, she professes being so, so sorry.  

"I've removed all the photos"

 “I’ve removed all the photos and I promise, on my life, I’ll never, ever put Greta’s photos online again.   I just wanted everyone to know how proud I was of my little sis.”

"We'll repaint the door"

Siwsi adds that if it is a problem, they will paint the door back to Boomer beige;  

"Tycs has lots of boring colours"

“Tycs has lots of boring colours in APD.”

"Greta would never forgive me"

Iolo says that there is no need for that, because Greta would never have forgiven him;  

"I'm going to make it up to you"

Indeg promises that there is one thing she is going to do to try and make it up to him.   

She is going to improve his Instagram page

“I’m going to help you be the best version of yourself on your Instagram page.   What’s the point of being hot, if you just put pictures of washer plugs and lasagne on it?

"It took me hours to do that"

He argues that he is proud of that – and it took him hours to do, 

"If you don't love you, you don't get a boo"

but she insists, “Like that philosopher said, ‘If you don’t love you, you don’t get a boo’.

"No, I'm happy the way it is"

Iolo comes to the conclusion that he is happy the way it is;  he goes upstairs and they turn on the film again.

Eleri brings Jinx a bottle

Eleri brings in a bottle for Jinx, but he does not take it;  

"He expected you to be husband and wife . . ?'

“You know when he came back, expecting you to be husband and wife . . ?”

"And I asked him for a divorce"

“And I asked him for a divorce.”

"Were you like husband and wife/'

“No – not the first time – that’s what you said.   So, were you – like husband and wife?   Did you sleep with him?”

"I just panicked!"

“I didn’t do it because I wanted to, I just panicked!”  

"I can't believe you did that"

He cannot believe that she did that, whereas she is surprised that is all he is worried about, “Not the fact I’ve been worried sick about you?   

"How I'm going to stop my 'psycho' husband from killing us?"

“Or how I’m going to stop my ‘psycho’ husband from killing us?”

"We could have gone to the police"\

He points out that if she had come to him, they could have gone to the police.   “He doesn’t care about the police!”   

"We need to go and check the flat"

Garry comes back, asking if she has heard from Kyle.   He maintains that they need to go and check the flat, 

"Don't answer the door to anyone"

stressing that Jinx should not answer the door to anyone;  “I know there’s a lot going on, but we need to check the flat.”   

"So you';re just leaving?"

As Eleri is about to walk out, Jinx cannot believe that she is just leaving after admitting what she has done.

"There's nothing more important to me than you"

She replies that she will not be long;   “You’ll be safe – he won’t look for you here.   There’s nothing more important to me than you – 

He will do as she says

“so, please, don’t answer the door until we come back.

"They'll be queueing up for The Perfect Plumber"

Indeg tells Siwsi, “The boys will be queueing up for the Perfect Plumber now!”   Siwsi agrees that he does look gorgeous.

"I could hear you giggling from up there"

Iolo comes downstairs and says that he could hear them giggling from upstairs;  

"You've had a bit of a 'glow-up'!"

Indeg advises that he has just had a bit of a ‘glow up’.   

"I told you not to interfere . . .`'

“No – I told you I didn’t want you to interfere,” 

". . . but I look all right!"

but he is impressed by the result on his phone.   “I look all right!”

"You're Cwmderi's hot property!"

“Of course you do – you’re Cwmderi’s hot property!” Indeg stresses and he actually appears to be in favour.

Eleri is back at Cysgod y Glyn 

Eleri is back at Cysgod y Glyn, where the place seems to be empty again;  

"His stuff appears to have gone"

Garry has checked and found that Kyle’s stuff appears to have gone.

"Do you really think he could kill?"

“Do you really think he could kill?”   

"What do you want me to do, Eleri?"

Eleri does, so he asks, “What do you want me to do, Eleri?”

"Get rid of him!"

“Get rid of him?   Do you know anyone who can do that?   The police won’t sort it – 

"Who's to say he'll stop with me and Huw . . ."

“how many times have you heard about a woman being threatened by her ex partner?   She reports it and then they find her body.   What’s to say he’ll stop with me and Huw?   

". . . you're part of this"

“You’re part of this – he’s already threatened you – 

"I'll pay anything – £100,000?"

“I’ll pay – anything!   Is £100,000 enough?   More?   He’s just waiting his chance – he’s bound to show up before long.”

"There's no place for men like Kyle in Cwmderi . . ."

Garry comes to the conclusion that she is right;  “There’s no place for men like Kyle in Cwmderi – 

". . . I'll do it!"

“I’ll do it!”
