29 October 2026

The kitchen is full of flowers

There are numerous bunches of flowers in the kitchen at number 7 and their pollen causes Ieuan to sneeze.

Rhys is still on he sofa

Hywel finds Rhys lounging on the sofa at number 21;  

"Don't start"

Rhys warns him, “Don’t start – I can see what you’re thinking!”

"It won'r bring Kelly back, will it?"

Hywel replies, “Getting blind drunk and whatever else you’ve been doing won’t bring Kelly back, will it?”   

"That's never going to happen"

Rhys maintains that will never happen, but his father continues, “You haven’t tried – you should be on your knees.”

"Stay out of it, Dad"

He is told to stay out of it as Rhys says that he is handling it in his own way.   “Are you?   

"O saw what you were like last night"

“I saw what you were like last night!”

“I had too much beer, that’s all.”   Hywel asks if he has tried to talk to Kelly today, and is told, “There’s no point – what don’t you understand, Dad?   

"I'm a waste of space!"

“She doesn’t want me – and I don’t blame her – I’m a waste of space!”

His father continued to insist that is not true;  “You don’t want it to be true – but it is,” Rhys groans.   Hywel is sure that there is a way out of this;  

"Alcohol and drugs won't help anyone"

“Yes – getting drunk like I did last night.”   He is assured that alcohol and drugs will not help anyone, but simply wants his father to stop hassling him.

“Sort yourself out, Rhys!” snarls Hywel, “Go and see her, all right?”

Dorian studies the laptop

Dorian is at the kitchen table in Penrhewl, looking at the laptop, 

"Yeah, great!"

but he quickly closes it when Howard comes in.   When asked if he is all right, Howard answers, “Yeah, great,” and picks up one of Dorian’s bananas.   

"Buy your own"

He is reprimanded that he should buy his own, 

"Even people in jail get fed"

but Howard protests, “Even people in jail get fed and somewhere tidy to live!   

"When are you going to clear up"

“When are you going to clear up?”

"We should be celebrating"

“We should be celebrating, not cleaning – we’ve gained another month here,” says Dorian, but is reminded that Dorian himself has gained another month.

"When are you going to pay me"

“I’m a farm hand – I don’t own the place – you know what I mean.   And when are you going to pay me?”   He is told that he will get the money as soon as Dorian gets it.   “And when will that be?”

"Do you fancy a pint?"

Dorian consider it an opportune moment to change the subject;  “Do you fancy a pint?”

“I can’t afford a banana – what makes you think I can afford a pint?”   Dorian magnanimously agrees to buy a pint for him.   “But don’t think for a second that I’ve forgotten about my wages.”   

"It will go brown if I don't eat it"

He grabs the rest of the banana, commenting that it will go brown if he does not eat it now.

Dorian gets back to the laptop

Dorian returns to the laptop where we see that he is searching for 

'Financial support for farm tenants'

‘Financial support for farm tenants’.   

He may have found something

He appears to think that he has found something.

"Rhys, are you here?"

Hywel comes downstairs again and finds, much to his surprise, that Rhys has gone.   

He dials Rhys'number

He takes out his phone to contact his son, but is unable to do so,

Then he remembers the CCTV
 

then looks up at the CCTV camera he has installed by the kitchen door.

Ieuan is compiling a list

Ieuan is compiling a list when 

Kelly brings in more flowers

Kelly comes in through the back door of number 7 with yet more flowers;  

"What are you doing?"

he asks what she is doing.   

"What does it look like"

“Arranging flowers – what does it look like?” she replies.

When he points out that they will have wilted by the funeral, whenever that is, she informs him, “Perhaps I want the practice, OK?   Because I want everything to be perfect for Auntie Neet.”

Ieuan sneezes again

Again, all these flowers make Ieuan sneeze, 

"Keep away from me!"

so she wants to keep away from him because of the germs, although he insists that it is only the pollen causing it.

"Yes, I understand"

His phone rings;  “Yes, right, I understand – thank you.”   

"They've released the death certificate"

He informs Kelly that they have released the death certificate, so they can choose an official date for the funeral at last.

"What was the cause of death?"

Kelly demands what was the cause of death 

"Choking on food"

and is told, “Choking on food caused the pneumonia.”

"So not the power cut?"

“So not the power cut or the temperature or anything like that?” says Kelly, 

"They should have kept an eye on her"

“Well, they still should have kept an eye on her.”   Ieuan appreciates that is not possible every minute of the day.

"Can I come in?"

There is a knock at the door and Ieuan is surprised that it is Rhys, who cautiously asks, “Can I come in?”   Ieuan takes his coat and leaves the house, to give them some peace.

"I don't want to upset you"

“I’ll go, if that’s what you really want.” offers Rhys, “I don’t want to upset you.”

"You can't upset me any more"

“You can’t upset me any more than you have already.”   

"I didn't want to . . ."

Once more he insists that he did not want to . . . but she stops him;

“I don’t want to hear any more excuses, Rhys.”

He goes on, “It was a stupid mistake and did not mean anything – I’m really, really sorry.”

“What do you want me to say?” she snaps, and he hopes that they can put it all behind them and move on.   

She looks accusingly at her

Kelly looks accusingly at him.

Hywel checks the footage

Hywel is reviewing the CCTV camera footage of the kitchen, 

"Are you ready for a laugh?"

where he sees Indeg, asking, “Are you ready for a laugh?”   He zooms in to get a better view of Indeg, 

"Don't you want to feel better?"

handing Rhys a small plastic packet and urging him, “Take it – don’t you want to feel better?”

He sees Rhys take the packet and this is all the evidence that Hywel needs, immediately getting up and leaving the house.

Ieuan sits in Tamed

Ieuan is sitting in Tamed;  Hywel finds him there and is invited to sit down, but says that he is in a hurry.   

"I wanted to ask you a favour"

“I think the funeral will be next week, hopefully.   I wanted to ask you a favour as well.”

"I'd like you and Rhys to be bearers"

Hywel sits down and Ieuan continues, “I’d like you and Rhys to be bearers – 

"Brother-in-law is close family"

what is a brother-in-law, if not close family.”

Hywel will be honoured to do that and Ieuan goes on, “It used to be a tradition to stay in the house until after the funeral, but I had to come out – Rhys is with Kelly.   He arrived so I just got out of the way.”

"Will Kelly forgive Rhys?"

Hywel wonders if there is any hope that Kelly will forgive Rhys.   

"She won't forgive easily"

“From what I know of Kelly, she won’t forgive easily – and I don’t blame her.”   

"He's not in a good place at the moment"

Hywel is anxious about Rhys, who he says he is not in a good place at the moment. 

Ieuan reminds him, “It was his decision to cheat on her.”   Hywel says that now he is paying for it;  he was in a terrible state just now.   

"Are you defending him?"

“Sorry – are you defending him?   I’m worried about Kelly.”

“Look Ieuan, Rhys is back on drugs and I don’t know what to do.

"I've sent texts and voice notes"

Meanwhile at number 7, Rhys goes on, “I’ve sent texts and voice notes . . .”   

"I've blocked you"

Kelly replies that she has blocked him.   

"I want to make things right"

“I want to make things right – I’ll do anything because – please, Kell – I was an idiot!”   

"It's too late"

She replies that he is too late, but he urges her not to say that;  

"I'm never going to give up on us"

“You and I – we’re good together – I’m never going to give up on us.”

"I walked in on you 'giving up on us'!"

She snarls, “I walked in on you ‘giving up on us’ and I don’t want to talk about it!”

He pleads with her to let him explain, 

"You've tried – and failed"

so she tells him, “You have tried and you’ve failed – and you haven’t even offered a convincing apology.   There’s nothing you can say to excuse what you did.   And, do you know, another thing – 

"You would have slept with her!"

“if I hadn’t walked in, you would have slept with her – don’t deny it!”

"It didn't mean anything"

Rhys can see that she is right, but argues that it did not mean anything.   “Next you’ll be saying that she started it – that it’s all her fault.”

"I want you to go now"

He acknowledges that it is all his fault and now Kelly wants him to go.   

"I know it's painful, but . . ."

“Please, Kell, I know it's painful, but . . .”

She hits him with the flowers

She completely loses it, screaming, “Leave me alone!” and hitting him with the bunch of flowers, before storming out of the house, slamming the door behind her.

"What the hell is wrong with him?"

“What the hell is wrong with him?   Drugs?” demands Ieuan, so Hywel maintains that it proves he is struggling without Kelly.   

"Cocaine is not the way to get her back"

“Taking cocaine is not the way to get her back!”   Hywel tells him not to say a word to Kelly

"You need to knock a bit of sense into Rhys"

“You need to knock a bit of sense into Rhys,” argues Ieuan, 

"I'm not going to push him  too hard"

but Hywel maintain that he is not going to push him too hard, in case he does something stupid.   

"He's done something stupid already"

“He’s done something stupid already,” Ieuan points out 

"He has a history of depression"

but is reminded that Rhys has a history of depression.

"Kelly can't handle this!"

Ieuan is adamant that Kelly cannot handle this and that it is not fair, but is informed by Hywel that it is not just Rhys and Kelly that he should be worried about;  “Indeg is the one giving him stuff!”

Anita's vacated room

Kelly has gone back to Anita’s room at Brynawelon, 

Kelly sits on the bed

where she sits on the bed, in floods of tears.   

She finds a seashell

In the bedside table she finds a small seashell, the sight of which causes her even more anguish.

"I'd prefer my wages"

In the Deri, Dorian hands Howard a pint;  
he comments, “I’d prefer my wages.”

Dorian does not think that the top field is the best place for the ram;  “It’s right next to the road – it loses its desire every time a car bombs past.”   

"I know the fields better than you"

Howard points out that he knows better than Dorian which field is best for those sheep.

"That Dani's a real looker!"

“It’s a shame Dani isn’t here today – she’s a real looker,” Dorian remarks, 

"You leave Dani alone"

but Howard tells him to leave Dani alone, as she has been through a lot.   

"Still have a crush on her, do you?"

“Oh, you still have a crush on her, don’t you?” 

"She's just a friend"

but Howard makes it clear that they are simply friends.

"Just like the Haverfordwest show"

“You pig!  It’s just like the Haverfordwest show – both of us fighting over the same woman.”   

Once again, Howard insists that he wants his money, but is told that Dorian has started to look for money;  

"It's surprising what there is online"

“It’s surprising what there is online.”   

"You need to confess to Mags"

Howard hopes that he is not doing something dodgy and reminds him that he also needs to talk to Mags and confess.   “No – that’s like asking me to put my arm in the thresher.”   

"She son't come if she doesn't know the truth"

Howard is sure that she will not come if she does not know the truth, but Dorian suggests that she would come to see Howard.

"Why don't you text Mags?"

“Why don’t you text Mags and invite her over?   Just get her here, that’s all – and I’ll do the rest.   

"You know you're her favourite"

“Come on, you know you’re her favourite.”

"You see – she brought it here"

Hywel shows Ieuan his CCTV footage;  “You see – she brought it here.”   Ieuan does not know what they should do next.   Hywel proposes to keep an eye on Rhys until he sort things out with Kelly.

"If they sort it out"

“If they sort things out,” comments Ieuan, then they consider Indeg;  “I think the world of her – I know she can be a handful – can you keep an eye on her, just until after the funeral?   I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.   But what with the funeral and Kelly . . .”

"Just leave it with me"

Hywel tells him, “Just leave it with me.”

Rhys returns

At that moment, Rhys returns and they ask how it went with Kelly;  

"I've made a mess of everything"

he is in tears and tells his father, “I’m so sorry – I’ve made a mess of everything!”   

Hywel tries to console him

Hywel attempts to comfort him.

Dorian is still looking for some easy money

Howard comes into the farmhouse, where Dorian is still studying the laptop and says, “I’m looking for money for you.”

Dirty boots are in the sink

Howard wonders why he cannot wash his boots outside, but he maintains that he needs hot water to do so.   

“I had a thought while I was checking on the sheep just now,” Howard begins.

“That’s a first for you – walking and thinking at the same time.”

"I'll text Mags – but you have to admit the truth"

Howard says that he will do it, “Text Mags – just to get her down here – you have to admit the truth to her.   She deserves that much, Dorian.”

This is not going to end well

When Howard has gone back outside, Dorian resumes what he was doing on the laptop;  completing a financial support application for farm tenants in Wales – in the name of Marged Mathias, with Penrhewl’s address.

Ieuan clears ups the flower remains

Ieuan is picking up the remains of the flowers, with which Kelly attacked Rhys earlier, when she returns to the house.   She thanks him for doing that and he asks where she went.

"I haven't handled things well"

“To look for Auntie Neet,” she sobs, “I haven’t handled things well – I just want to go back in time.”   He confirms that she is not the only one.

"She was always so good with advice"

“She was always so good with advice, wasn’t she?   I’m heartbroken for so many reasons.”

"You don't have to do this on your own"

Ieuan reminds her that she does not have to do all this on her own.   “Listen, I don’t even come close to Anita in terms of advice – 

"You should have as much support as possible"

“she was like an agony aunt to us all – but I think she’d want you to have as much support as possible at this moment.”

"Rhys has betrayed me!"

She wails, “Rhys has betrayed me!” but is reminded that he regrets it so much – in fact, he is a shadow of himself.   

"I saw him and he looked terrible"

Ieuan saw him earlier and he looked terrible.

"That doesn't excuse what he did"

“That still doesn’t excuse what he did,” Kelly points out, 

"For now – accept the comfort"

but what Ieuan means is that there might be a way for her to put this to one side – for now – accept the comfort – and then, with time, she might forgive him.

"Do you fancy an omelette?"

At number 21, Hywel is thinking of making an omelette, 

Rhys does not feel like eating

but Rhys does not fancy one;  “I’ll make one for you and you can have it later,” says his father.

He hears Kelly's voice

Then there is an unexpected knock at the door and Rhys is very shocked to hear that it is Kelly, who his father invites in.   He will retire to the kitchen to leave them alone.

She sits down . . . 

She comes in and sits down at the other end of the sofa;  

. . . and he begins apologising again

“I regret it so much . . .” he begins, 

'Don't say anything else"

but she tells him not to say anything else.

"I just want to erase it – all of it – OK?"

“Please, Rhys, I mean it – I just want to erase it – all of it.   It never happened and we move on – OK?”
