| Sioned is by Mathew's bedside |
Mathew lies in his hospital bed, surrounded by equipment monitoring his condition; Sioned is by his side, stroking his hand.
| "You don't usually like me doing this" |
“You don’t usually like me doing this, you complain that it tickles.
| There is no response to her plea |
If you can hear me, Math, squeeze my hand, please.”
| She weeps with frustration |
She is disappointed when he does not do so and the tears start to flow,
| Mathew is completely oblivious |
but Mathew knows nothing of this.
| Now Garry wants the pharmacy |
Garry is peering through the window of the pharmacy when Siôn walks past;
| "What are her plans for this place?" |
“Someone’s got a good little business here – I hear that Iolo’s good friends with the owner – Maya, is it? What are her plans for this place?
| He wants to buy up the entire village |
“It would be nice if she agreed to sell it to me – and who owns the Tapas place?” [last mentioned in March 2021]
| "Do you want that as well?" |
Siôn is surprised that he wants that as well; “I don’t know,” Garry replies, “The possibilities are endless, Siôn. It’s exciting isn't it?
| "Especially with you on the council" |
“Especially with you on the council to block any opposition.”
| Britt watches with interest |
Britt has been watching this exchange from outside the shop and wants to know what is going on.
| Sioned continues her vigil . . . |
| . . . and is joined by Melfa |
“Mathew – it’s Mam,” but there is no response.
| "I promised I wouldn't cry" |
“I promised I wouldn’t cry and I’d stay strong for you, but . . .” Sioned stops her there, advising that they are going to try and wake him up later, but they do not know what they will find.
| "He may have problems with his organs" |
“He may have problems with his organs – but they’re monitoring things,” Sioned explains, “All we can do is wait.”
| "It feels like everyone is looking at me" |
At Y Felin, Siwsi feels that everyone is looking at her and she cannot stop thinking about Anita in all this; “She can’t make sense of things as it is, but at least she felt safe with me — and now I can’t be there for her. I feel that I am letting her down.”
| Indeg is not exactly sympathetic |
Indeg insists that is not the case; “You’re going on and on about it!” Then she apologises, maintaining that she hates to see Siwsi like this, assuring her that everything will be fine and that she should not worry.
| "How am I supposed not to worry?" |
Siwsi cannot understand how she is supposed not to worry.
| "What's going on, then?" |
Garry sits down in Cysgod y Glyn with a cup of coffee and Britt comes in; she comes straight to the point, “What’s going on, then?”
| "I waas just having a quiet coffee" |
He answers that he was having a quiet coffee until she arrived.
| "There's something going on – I can smell it" |
“I saw you sniffing around the pharmacy– there’s something going on, I can smell it. Come on – I’m serious. What’s going on?”
| "I'm considering buying the pharmacy' |
He admits that he is considering buying it, which she finds somewhat strange; “Well, you’ve already bought The Pizza Place –
| "Buy one, get one free?" |
“is there a deal in Cwmderi or something – buy one, get one free?”
| "Maya might not sell" |
He points out that Maya might not sell,
| "Where did you get all this money? |
so her next question is, “Where did you get all this money from? I looked after your money when you were in jail and I know you can’t afford this.”
| "That's not good enough" |
| "I'll find out myself" |
with Britt informing him, “Well, if you won’t tell me, I’ll find out myself where you’ve got all this cash from.
| "You can't hide anything from me" |
“Because you can’t hide anything from me, Garry – you should know that by now.”
| All the bills are spread out on the table |
Sioned is back at the farmhouse, sorting through all the bills.
| "I wasn't expecting to see you" |
Howard was not expecting to see her there, but she explains that Melfa made her take a break and that there is no change. “They’re going to try and bring him out of the coma today.”
| "That's a good sign, isn't it?" |
When Howard suggests that is a good sign, she adds, “We won’t know anything for a while –
| "It could take hours to wake him" |
“it could take hours to wake him from the coma.” The children are with her mother.
| 'The owner of the Brasserie has been on the phone" |
Howard explains that Kelly has been cooking for her; “Listen, I know this is the last thing on your mind, but I’ve had the owner of the brasserie on the phone – a real clown too – he wants to know when APD will restart the job.”
| "How am I supposed to know that?" |
“How am I supposed to know that?” she snarls, with Howard going on that if he does not get an answer today, they will lose the contract.
| "Shall I tell the hospital to hurry up?" |
“Shall I phone the hospital and tell them to hurry up with Math?” she demands, “What do we have to do to get a break round here? Math is in hospital, fighting for his life
| "People are still hassling us!" |
“and people are still hassling us! Bills, the brasserie – it never stops!”
| She rushes upstairs . . . |
She rushes off upstairs,
| . . . leaving Howard looking at he bills |
leaving Howard looking at the pile of paperwork on the table
| "An investigation like this takes time" |
Ieuan and Kelly have gone to Brynawelon, where they are told that an investigation like this takes time.
| "What has actually happened?" |
“But what has actually happened since Siwsi was caught?” demands Kelly.
| "We're following the guidelines" |
Eleri replies, “I can’t reveal any details until the investigation is complete, but we’re following the guidelines. I’ll check Anita is dressed and then you can join her.”
| "She can't fob us off like that" |
Kelly turns to Ieuan; “She doesn’t seriously think she can fob us off like that, does she? Without giving us any details?”
| "We shall have to go to the police" |
Ieuan is of the opinion that they have to go straight to the police. “Yes, absolutely – I agree, 100%!”
Then Eleri returns and when asked if Anita is ready,
| "She's not there" |
replies, “Not exactly – she’s not there. Someone has taken her out.”
| "She was taken out by Indeg" |
She looks at the book and finds that it is Indeg.
| Kelly might have an inkling |
Suspicion is beginning to form in Kelly’s mind.
| The monitors continue their work |
The monitors are still bleeping by Matthew’s bed
| "You needed help when you were born" |
as his mother reminisces, “You needed help when you were born – you weren’t much bigger than my palm. Look at you now – a six-foot man – you’ve been through so much. And now you have a family of your own, a chance to be happy – and that’s all I want for you.”
| They are ready for Mathew |
A nurse appears, so Melfa knows that they are ready for Mathew; she kisses him
| "You have to get through this" |
and tells him, “You have to get through this.”
| "Indeg, where are you?" |
Ieuan is trying to locate Indeg, telling her, via the phone, “Anita needs specialist care – phone me now, please!”
| "No sign of her" |
Kelly approaches, having found no sign of Indeg.
| "Where would she have taken Anita?" |
“Right, where would have taken Anita?” he demands, but Kelly has no idea.
| "I'm in the dark, as much as you!" |
“I don’t know – I’m in the dark, too, as much as you!” she shouts.
| "Brynawelon is as incompetent as I thought!" |
Then Eleri passes and is informed, in no uncertain terms, “Brynawelon is as incompetent as I thought!”
| "Families have every right to take the residents out" |
Eleri maintains that families have every right to take residents out, as it is not a prison, but it is pointed out to her that Indeg is not related to Auntie Neet, not really.
| "She has visited Anita lots of times" |
“She has a visited Anita lots of times – you were happy with that,” is Eleri’s reply.
| "Anita's need are so acute . . ." |
Ieuan stresses that Anita’s needs are so acute and Indeg has no idea how to look after her; “If anything happens,
| "You and that circus of a home!" |
“you and that circus of a home, will be to blame, do you understand?”
| Eleri looks rather uncomfortable |
They both walk away, leaving Eleri feeling rather uncomfortable.
| Howard has sorted out the papers |
Howard has sorted out the paperwork into two piles, one with the penalty notice, the other with everything else.
| Sioned is more subdued now |
Sioned comes back in, rather subdued and sits down.
| "I'll deal with APD . . . " |
He volunteers that he will deal with APD, so she should not worry. “I’ll look after everything until Math gets back –
| ". . . and I'm sorry fro upsetting you" |
“and I’m sorry for upsetting you.”
| "How am I supposed to pay, Howard?" |
“How am I supposed to pay this fine and pay for a new slurry pit, Howard?” she asks, “We’re talking about tens of thousands,”
| "You concentrate on Mathew" |
but he tells her to concentrate on Mathew at the moment and to focus on him.
| He grasps Sioned's hand |
Howard takes Sioned’s hand in a reassuring gesture and then leaves the farm,
| Sioned formulates a plan |
while Sioned thinks about how to find the money.
| Anita has a great surprise |
Indeg has taken Anita to Y Felin, where she is overjoyed to see Siwsi.
| "Siwsi – I haven't seen you for ages!" |
“Oh, Siwsi, how are you? I haven’t seen you for ages.”
| "I would never deceive you, Anita!" |
“Anita, it doesn’t matter what anyone else tells you, I would never deceive you – did you hear what I said?”
| Anita looks confused |
Anita looks confused, but then there is a knock at the door.
| Ieuan has found Indeg . . . |
Kelly and Ieuan have tracked down Indeg and are greatly relieved to have found Anita,
| . . . but does not look pleased to see Siwsi |
but not so happy that she is with Siwsi.
| Britt is dealing with paperwork . . . |
Britt is dealing with some paperwork on the kitchen table in the MFC flat
| . . . when Garry comes in |
when Garry comes visiting, carrying a bag from the deli.
| "I don't want to fall out with you" |
“Your favourite,” he tells her, “Britt, I don’t want to fall out with you.”
| "You're in trouble, aren't you?" |
She is convinced that he is in trouble; “Because if you are, I want to help you. I’ve lost you once and I don’t want to lose you again.”
| "I haven't been completely honest . . ." |
He agrees that he has not been completely honest, as he did not want her to worry;
| ". . . someone special has been working for me . . ." |
“Someone special has been working for me for a while – since I was in jail.
| ". . . Aaron!" |
“Investing my money – Aaron.” [last seen on 15 October 2024 – which was also Ieuan’s and Anita’s Wedding Day]
| "You're not serious?" |
Britt cannot believe that he is serious, but he continues, “It’s not dodgy, OK? He was just following legit orders to begin with – but that son of yours has a talent – he tells me where to invest my money now. You should be proud of him.
| "I've been able to make sure us Monks will be OK" |
Because of Aaron, I’ve been able to make sure that us Monks will be OK – no one knows what’s around the corner.”
| "So Aaron's doing well?" |
Britt is very pleased to hear that Aaron is doing well,
| "It must be his mother's influence" |
which Garry puts down to his mother’s influence, so Britt should stop worrying.
| "Enjoy your biscuits" |
He hopes that she enjoys her biscuits.
| "I knew there was something wrong, Gar" |
As he is leaving, she reminds him, “I knew there was something wrong – you should know better than to try and hide things from me, Garry.”
| "I was going crazy, looking at those four walls" |
Now Melfa is also back from the hospital and tells Sioned that there is no change. “I was going crazy looking at the four walls of that ward –
| "They're going to phone" |
“they’re going to phone once he starts to wake up, but there’s no news about how he is.”
| "Right, I'll leave you, then" |
Howard will leave them and Melfa refuses the offer of a cup of tea.
| "I can't stop thinking about him" |
“I can’t stop thinking about him lying in hospital on his own,” says Sioned, “He thinks the world of you – and he wanted you to know, if he doesn’t . . . that he forgives you and that he loves you.”
| "I would do anything for him" |
Melfa admits that she would do anything for him; that is all she has ever wanted to do.
| "He said something else, too . . ." |
“He said something else, too,” Sioned continues, with a rather apprehensive look on her face,
“I don’t really know how to tell you this, but he said that if he’s not here, he’d want me and the kids to have your father’s money. I know that money is toxic,
| "It's important to Math that we are all right" |
“but it’s more important to Math that the kids and I are all right.”
Melfa thinks it rather strange that he said that while he was stuck under that quad bike.
| "You don't think I'd lie about that, do you?" |
“You don’t think I’d lie about that, do you?” asks Sioned
| "My head is a mess" |
and Melfa admits that her head is a mess.
| "Mine, too" |
“Mine too!” Sioned groans
| The hospital phones with news |
Then her phone sounds and she has a call from the hospital.
| "What do you think you were doing?" |
“You can’t kidnap her! What do you think you were doing?” demands Kelly. Siwsi maintain that Indeg was being a friend.
| "I'm not talking to you!" |
“I’m not talking to you!” Kelly snarls.
Indeg points out that Siwsi was desperate to see her;
| "Wants to get her hands on more of Mami's things?" |
“Wants to get her hands on more of Mami’s things, does she?” sneers Ieuan, “What do you fancy this time? A bracelet – a chain?”
| "I haven't been stealing!" |
Siwsi reiterates yet again, “How many times? I haven’t been stealing.”
| "Drop the act!" |
Kelly tells her to drop the act.
| "Eira, tell them to stop, please!" |
Anita, becoming upset by all the arguing, shouts, “Eira, tell them to stop, please!”
| More evidence for Kelly |
Kelly suddenly realises,
| "I'm glad you're here, Eira" |
as Anita continues, “I’m glad you’re here, Eira.”
| "She keeps calling me that" |
Indeg comments that Anita has been calling her Eira all morning; “She gets names mixed up, doesn’t she?”
Then she tells Anita, “Time to go home, right?
| "I'm already home" |
Anita insists that she is already home,
| "I'll take her . . .`' |
while Ieuan will take her
| ". . . and never try another stunt like this!" |
and warns his granddaughter not to try another stunt like this.
| "Eira, where is he taking me?" |
“Eira, where is he taking me now?”
| Kelly is more and more convinced |
Kelly is now becoming even more certain about her suspicions.
| Back at the hospital . . . |
Sioned and Melfa are back at the hospital,
| . . . Mathew is now conscious . . . |
where Mathew is now conscious, but still very groggy.
| . . . which causes tears of joy |
They are both of them in tears.
| Anita is dozing at Brynawelon . . . |
After all the excitement, Anita is back at Brynawelon, dozing, when Indeg comes into the room
| . . . when someone tries to remove her ring |
and attempts to remove the ring from Anita’s finger, causing her to wake up.
| "Eira, my little baby!" |
“Eira – my little baby,” she says and Indeg asks if she is tired after her adventure.
| "I haven't been out today" |
“I haven’t been out today – I’ve been watching telly,” Anita replies, “Have you seen Siwsi?
| "I haven't seen Siwsi for ages" |
“I haven’t seen her for ages.”
| "You wanted to give me a present" |
Indeg gets to the reason for her visit; “Do you remember our chat this morning? You wanted to give me a present.”
| Anita takes off her brooch . . . |
Anita is easily persuaded and takes off the brooch she is wearing,
| . . . and hands it to Indeg |
giving it to her.
| However, she is under surveillance |
What Indeg does not know, is that she is being watched, as Anita hands over the brooch;
| "Eira, my little snowflake" |
“Eira, my little snowflake.”
| Kelly watches and listens |
Kelly is taking careful notice,
| "Thank you, Mam" |
as Indeg answers, “Thank you, Mam!”
