| "I'd like to discuss my divorce application" |
Eleri is on the phone, wanting to speak to Georgina Morgan, the solicitor; “I’d like to discuss my divorce application.
 |
| "Could you ask her to phone me back?" |
“Could you ask her to phone me back when she comes in? This is Eleri Beynon.”
 |
| Ieuan has moved on from bingo |
The scene shifts to Ieuan Griffiths’ bedroom, where it appears that he has graduated to playing online ‘blackjack’.
 |
| He looks in the mirror . . . |
He is putting on his tie and looks disconsolately into the mirror;
 |
| . . . but cannot keep away |
then he picks up his laptop, puts on his glasses and starts playing the game.
 |
| £200 – gone just like that . . . |
Before many seconds have passed, the screen notifies him that he has lost £200 and should add more funds, which makes him angry.
 |
| . . . then the laptop suddenly packs up . . . |
But then, all of a sudden, the screen goes blank for no apparent reason –
 |
| . . . and cannot be resuscitated |
and there is no way in which he is able to rescue it.
 |
| "Do you have any plans for today?" |
At Y Felin, Iolo comes downstairs and is asked by Indeg if he wants a cup of tea, but he is taking Greta to school. He asks if she has any plans today;
 |
| "My friends is renting out a flat" |
“I hope you don’t think I’m being presumptuous, but my friend is renting out a flat – two bedrooms, reasonable price, great location – and I couldn’t help thinking about you and Siwsi. So I've arranged for you to have a viewing this morning.”
 |
| Not what Indeg was expecting |
This comes as a nasty surprise to Indeg; he calls to Greta to hurry up,
 |
| "It was bound to happen at some point" |
then continues, “It was bound to happen at some point, wasn’t it? I think now is a good time as things aren’t great between you and Lleucu.”
 |
| "It was only a minor misunderstanding" |
Indeg dismisses that as a minor misunderstanding, assuring him that everything will be hunky-dory soon.
 |
| "For now, perhaps" |
“For now, perhaps, but I don’t want things to be up and down all the time –
 |
| "Greta notices everything" |
“especially with Greta – she notices everything.”
 |
| "OK, I'll go later" |
Indeg agrees that she will go, as Siwsi is working today; Iolo is convinced that this will be best for everyone and he will text her the details later. “Come on, Greta – now, or I’m leaving without you!”
 |
| What is the significance of this old chap? |
Garry is speaking to a stranger in the High Street; “We’ll see how it goes, OK?” he says.
 |
| "I thought I was going to have a quiet morning" |
Eleri comes along the road and calls to him; “I thought I was going to have a quiet morning,” he moans.
“Do you have Georgina’s mobile number? She hasn’t phoned me back.” He points out that it is early yet and that she knows what she is doing.
 |
| "I need to know what Kyle said" |
“She’d better!” Eleri exclaims, “I need to know what he said – I never want to see him again.”
Garry imagines that if he agrees to the divorce, there is no reason why she would have to see him again. “But what if he doesn’t?”
 |
| "You will have to be patient" |
Garry asks, “Is Georgina going to tell him he can have all the money? Well, there we are, then – I’m sure he will agree – you have to be patient.”
 |
| "Has Georgina arrived yet?" |
However, Eleri is anything but patient, and rings the solicitor’s again, enquiring if Georgina has arrived yet.
 |
| Siwsi is in a lot of pain |
Indeg comes downstairs at Y Felin and finds Siwsi groaning in pain on the sofa;
 |
| "You look rubbish" |
“You look rubbish!” she comments. Siwsi agrees that she feels rubbish as well. She was on her way to work, but the cramps kicked in again; she asks if Indeg has a spare pad.
 |
| "This is an emergency, babes" |
“I’ll go to the shop and you can phone work to say you’re not going in today – this is an emergency, babes – you’re in no state to go anywhere. I’ll get the quilt down and we’ll chill here.
 |
| "What sort of friend would abandon you?" |
“What sort of friend would abandon you in your hour of need?”
 |
| "But you were just on your way out" |
Siwsi protests that she was just on her way out and wonders where she was going, but is told that it is of no importance;
 |
| "Just give me a second to phone someone" |
“Just give me a second to phone someone.
 |
| "It's Indeg here, Iolo's friend" |
“Oh, hiya – it’s Indeg here, Iolo’s friend.”
 |
| Eleri leaves the deli |
Eleri comes out of the deli and is passing the door of number 9
 |
| "I haven't seen you for ages" |
when Jinx comes out, but she protests that she is late for work. He wonders if she is avoiding him or something; “You haven’t replied to my texts and I haven’t seen you for ages.”
 |
| "I'm meant to be on a Zoom meeting now" |
She assures him that she is not avoiding him and that it has only been a few days, but she is particularly busy; “I’m meant to be on a Zoom meeting now, so if you don’t mind . . . I’m sure I can fit you in later – text me.”
 |
| "There's something I need to discuss with you" |
He points out that there is something he needs to discuss with her and requires her undivided attention,
 |
| "I have to go, Huw" |
but then she hurries away.
 |
| "If I was as loaded as them . . ." |
At Y Felin, as they watch a film with a bucket of popcorn between them, Indeg maintains, “If I was as loaded as them, I’d have nothing to quarrel about.”
 |
| "I can't use period pains as an excuse" |
Then Siwsi receive a text message; “Eleri’s fuming because I took the day off – she wants to know what’s wrong, but I can’t use period pains as an excuse.”
 |
| "It's not an excuse" |
Indeg is adamant that it is not an excuse, then wonders why Siwsi needs two jobs, anyway.
 |
| "I have a huge credit card debt" |
“I have a huge credit card debt – that’s not going to disappear.
 |
| "Thank heavens we have such a good deal here" |
“Thank heavens, we have such a good deal here – I don’t know where I’d be if I had to pay rent as well.”
 |
| "I still think two jobs is bonkers" |
Indeg still thinks that two jobs is bonkers. Siwsi is glad that they could hang out together; “You make a sick day much better. What were you supposed to do today?” Indeg again replies that it was nothing important.
 |
| Ieuan cannot get the laptop working . . . |
Ieuan is now at APD,
 |
| . . . and the screen remains blank |
and the laptop still refuses to work; Hywel comes in with two takeaway coffees, remarking, “I hope you’re not slacking with the boss away.”
 |
| "I don't know what's wrong with this thing" |
“No, this is playing up and I don’t know what’s wrong with it,” replies Ieuan, “Can you take a look?” Hywel gives him one of the coffees,
 |
| "Why don't you go and see Anita?" |
then suggests that Ieuan should go and see Anita, while he is looking at the laptop.
 |
| "It's hard to get the timing right" |
Ieuan had been thinking about going at lunchtime, but sometimes Anita takes a nap then, so it is hard to get it right every time.
 |
| "I'll look after this place for you" |
Hywel volunteers to look after the place while he is gone; “Go on – you can spend a bit more time with her.
 |
| Hywel has the rugby club to think about as well |
“And I need to think about the rugby club as well – we are celebrating 150 years this year – but I can do that after sorting this. I was thinking about live music – it has to be a night to remember.”
Ieuan is most appreciative and hurries away,
 |
| The expert looks at the laptop . . . |
as Hywel attempts to diagnose the problem with the laptop.
 |
| . . . and it springs to life in no time |
Within seconds the search engine screen reappears and on subsequent investigation, Hywel can see that his brother has been frequenting gambling sites,
 |
| Hywel is very concerned to see . . . |
which causes him some concern,
 |
| . . . that Ieuan has lost £200 |
then the screen appears advising that he has just lost £200.
 |
| "Have you spoken to Kyle?" |
Eleri comes out of Brynawelon while speaking to Georgina on the phone; “Have you spoken to Kyle? Did he say anything? Right, I hope that will be it, then.”
 |
| Anita is out in the sunshine . . . |
She passes Anita, who is enjoying the sunshine, sitting in her wheelchair.
 |
| . . . when Ieuan approaches |
Ieuan is approaching;
 |
| "It's a lovely morning" |
“It’s a lovely morning,” he says
 |
| She does not look very pleased |
and Anita is pleased to see that he is there at last. He gives her a chocolate bar, which she looks at with displeasure, then wonders if he can get her a blanket.
“No, I’m fine.
 |
| "Is that what you're going to wear to clean the windows?" |
“Is that what you’re going to wear to clean the windows?” she demands,
 |
| "I'm not here to clean windows" |
but he replies that he is not there to clean windows and that she is lucky to have this garden, with the pretty flowers.
 |
| "I wasn't expecting the gardener today" |
Now she comes to the conclusion, “Oh, you’ve come to do the gardening – I wasn’t expecting the gardener today,” so he informs her that he is not there to do the gardening,
 |
| "I'm here to see my wife" |
but rather is here to see his wife.
 |
| "Kelly, my niece is coming to see me . . ." |
She immediately looks rather disappointed; “Listen, if you haven’t come to clean the windows, you’d better go – Kelly, my niece is coming to see me
 |
| ". . . and I'm looking forward to seeing her" |
“and I’m looking forward to seeing her.”
 |
| Ieuan is very disappointed |
Ieuan is very disappointed.
 |
| "Don't say you've been lazing all day?" |
Iolo and Greta return home to find Siwsi and Indeg on the sofa with a quilt over them. “What’s going on here? Don’t say you’ve been lazing around all day,” he complains, assuming that Siwsi had work today.
 |
| "Have you got s hangover?" |
She replies that she is ill and feels terrible; Greta pipes up, “Have you got a hangover?” so Iolo sends her upstairs to get changed.
 |
| "I've been speaking to Greta's teacher . . ." |
He explains, “It’s not funny – I’ve just been speaking with Greta’s teacher,” who Indeg knows is Mr Handsome,
 |
| ". . . who said 'hangover' is Greta's latest favourite word" |
“And he said that ‘hangover’ is Greta’s new favourite word – she’s going around telling her friends she’s got a hangover.”
 |
| "You should be thanking us" |
Indeg maintains that he should thank them for arranging a conversation between him and Mr Handsome.
 |
| "Be careful what you say in front of her" |
He points out that now he is on the parents committee to prove that he is a good father. He asks that they should be careful what they say in front of Greta and they promise to do so.
 |
| "How did the viewing go, then?" |
Then he enquires how the viewing went, which comes as news to Siwsi, so Indeg has to quickly improvise that she had an emergency and had to cancel.
 |
| "I hope there's a good reason for that" |
Iolo hopes that there is a good reason for that; “There is, actually – Siwsi’s got period pains.”
 |
| "What's a period?" |
Greta, who has come back downstairs and is listening, demands, “What’s a period?” But they all remain silent.
 |
| "Thanks for looking after the place" |
Ieuan returns to APD and thanks Hywel for looking after the place in his absence; “I was busy at Brynawelon –
 |
| "Anita was in good spirits" |
“Anita was in good spirits. Thanks for your help – I’ll see you soon.”
Hywel explains that he has managed to get the laptop working again;
 |
| "I had to go into your browsing history . . ." |
“But I had to go into the browsing history, sorry, to make sure there was no virus on the laptop – and there wasn’t.
“But I saw a couple of the websites you’ve been on – the gambling ones – you’ve lost £200 this morning –
 |
| ". . . don't you think you're playing with fire?" |
“don’t you think you’re playing with fire?”
 |
| "Just a bit of fun" |
Ieuan simply laughs it off as a bit of harmless fun which is not serious.
 |
| "Think about Anita and Brynawelon's bill" |
He is urged, “think about Anita and the bill that arrives from Brynawelon every month.”
 |
| "Mind your own business and go!" |
Ieuan snarls, “Is this you trying to help? Well, you don’t have to. Mind your own business and go.” Hywel does so.
 |
| "I've been thinking about you all day" |
At Cysgod y Glyn, it appears that Jinx cannot keep his hands off Eleri; “I’ve been thinking about you all day.”
 |
| "Can I get you a drink?" |
She disengages from his grasp and asks if he would like something to drink.
 |
| "Where have these come from?" |
He finds some flowers and enquires where they are from.
She lies that it was someone’s funeral from Brynawelon and it was a pity to waste them,
 |
| "That's a bit morbid" |
which he regards as a bit morbid. He just wanted to make sure that she was all right;
 |
| "Is there something else going on?" |
“I know you’re busy at work at the moment, but is there something else going on? You know how I overthink things.”
 |
| "You mean the world to me, Huw . . ." |
Eleri begins, “OK, I want you to know that you mean the world to me and . . .
 |
| ". . . I'm glad you're in my life" |
“I know I don’t say this often, but I’m glad you’re in my life . . . and . . . well . . . when I really like someone, I start to panic and – after everything we’ve been through, I really want things to work out this time.
 |
| "I'll try to communicate better from now on" |
“I promised to try and communicate better with you from now on.”
 |
| "I think we should live together" |
Jinx responds, “I think we should live together – you and me, under the same roof. That’s what I wanted to discuss with you – I just want to come home and know that you’re on your way to me, so it makes sense that you come and live in my house, as you’re renting here. So what do you think?”
 |
| "I think . . . yeah" |
“I think . . . yeah.” He concludes that they need to celebrate;
 |
| "I'm going to make you the best linguini" |
he is going to make the best linguini that she has ever had – and there will be champagne.
“Come over at seven o’clock –
 |
| "No – make it half past" |
“no, make it half past – I want to make your new home special!”
 |
| Eleri's phone sounds |
As he leaves the flat, Eleri’s phone sounds
 |
| Surprisingly she has a nasty scratch on the phone screen |
and she sees that it is a call from Kyle,
 |
| This frightens her |
which fills her with dread, so she drops the phone again.
 |
| Ieuan lies on his bed . . . |
Ieuan is back in his bedroom; he reclines on the bed,
 |
| . . . turns to look at the photo . . . |
then looks across at the photo of him and Anita.
 |
| . . . then resorts to the laptop again |
He picks up the laptop, puts on his glasses and returns to the gambling website,
 |
| Janet wants to 'connect' with him |
where he finds that there is a message from a Janet, who wants to ‘connect’ with him.
 |
| "Indeg was only trying to look after me" |
Siwsi comes downstairs at Y Felin, clutching her hot water bottle, informing Iolo, “Indeg was only trying to look after me today –
 |
| ". . . she didn't say anything about a flat viewing" |
“she didn’t say anything about a flat viewing, or I would have persuaded her to go.”
 |
| "I feel you don't respect me" |
Iolo groans, “She might have had good intentions, but I don’t feel you respect me.”
 |
| "It's not intentional" |
Siwsi is sorry that he feels that way, insisting that it is not intentional. “And now I’m getting question after question from Greta, about periods,” he grumbles,
 |
| "They're private things" |
“They’re private things – and Greta is much too young to . . .”
 |
| "You should be normalising conversations" |
Siwsi is adamant that periods are not dirty and that he should be normalising conversations about it, because Greta will have questions. “Tomorrow I’ll look for somewhere else to live, if it’s a problem.”
 |
| "Perhaps you could help me talk to Greta?" |
Iolo is sorry and did not want her to feel weird about . . . periods; “Perhaps you could help me talk to Greta about it?”
 |
| "Of course – but you have to be there" |
Siwsi points out that he has to be there as well, to which he agrees.
He confirms that there is no rush for her to move out, but just one condition,
 |
| "On condition that you help me with Lleucu and Greta" |
“That you help me with Lleucu and Greta.” Siwsi is happy to do that and thanks him.
 |
| Janet is insistent |
We return to Ieuan, where the message again appears on his screen,
 |
| They begin a dialogue . . . |
‘Hi, Ieuan, how are you?’
 |
| . . . which begins in English |
He replies, ‘I’ve been better – how are you?’
‘I’m sorry you feel like that. Would you like to talk about it?’
 |
| At first Ieuan is wary . . . |
‘I’m not sure really – I don’t know you.’
‘Well, how about we get to know each other a bit first? Where do you live?’
 |
| . . . but when she finds that he is in Wales . . . |
‘Wales – Cymru.’
 |
| . . . she switches to Welsh |
She asks, in Welsh, ‘Do you speak Welsh?’ which makes him smile.
 |
| Eleri is in a bad mood |
Eleri walks into Cysgod y Glyn, apparently in a bad mood, where Garry is sitting.
"What's wrong with you?"
He demands, “What’s wrong with you?”
 |
| "I've just agreed to move in with Huw" |
“I’ve just agreed to move on with Huw,” she answers,
 |
| "Congratulations?" |
so he imagines that congratulations are in order.
 |
| "And Kyle is on his way over . . ." |
Then she adds, “And Kyle is on his way over.
 |
| ". . . while Huw is coking a linguini" |
“He is on the plane right now, while Huw is cooking a linguini – what am I going to do?
 |
| "This is all your fault!" |
“This is all your fault – you told me the only way to get rid of Kyle was to have a divorce.”
 |
| "Yes – and I still think that" |
Garry still thinks that, but Eleri considers,
 |
| "He's going to kill me and Huw!" |
“He’s dangerous – he’s going to kill me – me and Huw!”
