| "Fancy a couple of pints in the Deri after work?" |
Iolo visits the shop, not to buy anything, but simply to ask Colin, “Do you fancy a couple of pints in the Deri after work? Come on – it’s half term, and I could do with some light relief.”
 |
| "Is that all I am – light relief?" |
Colin pretends that he is offended, being described only as light relief, but is only pulling Iolo’s leg, and says he will be there;
 |
| "I'll call for you about 5:30" |
Iolo will call for him around 5:30pm.
 |
| This is the first we have heard about Britt visiting Chester |
As he is leaving, Eileen comes in, and asks Colin if Britt is enjoying herself in Portugal;
 |
| "I don't think she wants to come back" |
“She’s loving it – and she’s with Chester,” is the reply, “I don’t think she wants to come back – and she won’t be for a while.”
 |
| "What good news is that, then?" |
Eileen says that he will have to tell her the good news over the phone then;
 |
| "You're going to be manager at the shop, again" |
“You’re getting a promotion – you’re going to be manager again. Everything is so busy up at Penrhewl – I can’t do both – it’s too much. And this time, I promise to step back – you’ll be running the place.
 |
| "You'll be doing everything" |
“You’ll be doing everything – the paperwork, orders – you’ll have a pay rise, of course, but we can discuss that another time.”
 |
| "I won't let you down, Eileen!" |
Colin is very pleased to hear this, and assures her he will not let her down.
 |
| Eileen looks up at the shop |
As she leaves the shop, Eileen looks up nostalgically at the shopfront and continues along the street.
 |
| Jason is approaching the café |
Meanwhile, Jason approaches the café and goes in;
 |
| "How are you, Kelly?" |
he asks her how she is.
 |
| "This is the third time you've been in today" |
“Are you serious?” demands Kelly, “This is the third time you’ve been in today – people will get suspicious.”
 |
| "It's the only way I get to see you" |
He protests that it is the only way he gets to see her; “It’s not like I can pop up to the flat – especially now that we’ve promised Sara to stay away from each other!”
 |
| Anita debates whether to come in or not |
“Don’t remind me,” Kelly begins, but then sees Auntie Anita outside, and is very relieved when she does not come in.
 |
| "Things still awkward between you?" |
Jason deduces that things are still awkward between them, and Kelly replies that they have spoken, and she even tried to persuade Dani to drop the court proceedings, but without any luck. “Perhaps she blames me – perhaps she thinks I didn’t try hard enough,” Kelly muses, and Jason suggests it might be worth talking to her again.
 |
| "I don't want to spoil our precious time talking about Auntie Anita" |
Kelly warns him, “I don’t want to spoil our precious time talking about Auntie Anita. What do you want – a cappuchino to take away?”
 |
| "I'll drink it here, as a little treat" |
Jason thinks he will drink it there, as a little treat, and again wonders if he has to pay, but this idea is rejected.
 |
| "Can you look after Greta tonight?" |
In the Deri, Iolo goes up to Tyler behind the bar; “Look, I’m not here to cause trouble – I shouldn’t have turned on everyone yesterday. I know Greta’s supposed to be with me tonight, but can you look after her?”
 |
| "That's a bit short notice" |
Tyler complains that it is rather short notice, but Iolo explains that he has plans.
 |
| "You can leave her with Kath" |
Tyler wants to know if he is meeting someone, and as he is finishing his shift shortly, Iolo can leave Greta with Kath; he will phone her now.
 |
| Anita is still demanding information about Dani . . . |
Then Anita comes in, once again asking about Dani and when she will be back, but Tyler knows even less than Cassie did. “I’ve tried to phone her several times, but she’s not answering!” Anita moans,
 |
| . . . and when she does not get it, she storms off |
and angrily walks away. Tyler picks up his phone to call Kath.
 |
| Eileen is back at Penrhewl |
When Eileen arrives at Penrhewl, Sioned asks why she is back so quickly;
 |
| "I've decided to let Colin run the shop" |
“I’ve decided to let Colin run the shop,” says her mother, “He’ll be responsible for the place from now on. It’s one less thing for me to worry about, and it will give me more time to be with Jim. I’d like you to take more responsibility for Cae Glas as well, if you’re willing.”
 |
| "Of course I will, Mam" |
Sioned is pleased to be able to help, and also offers to cook dinner tonight,
 |
| Eileen will go for a walk |
so Eileen will go for a walk. Eifion comes out of the farmhouse, wanting to talk to Eileen,
 |
| "Leave her, Eifion – she needs some space" |
but is warned by Sioned to leave her, as she needs some space;
 |
| "Mam's decided to give up the shop" |
“Jim’s OK, but Mam’s decided to give up the shop, so she can be here more often.” Eifion appears concerned by this development.
 |
| "What you need is a strategy, Dad" |
In the chippy flat, Izzy informs her father that what he needs is a strategy; “If I’ve learned one thing from Antur Iaith, it’s planning. It will help you manage the place –
 |
| "I'm going to get some things from the office – and Aaron can help" |
“I’m going to get things from the office so that we can brainstorm properly.
Aaron has just arrived home, and Colin explains what Izzy has said about improving the shop, and pointing out that she wants Aaron to help them,
 |
| "Because I'm the manager now!" |
proudly announcing, “Because I’m the manager now!”
 |
| "I don't know anything about that sort of thing" |
Aaron points out, “I don’t know anything about that sort of thing,” and is advised to say anything, to keep Izzy happy.
 |
| "Oh, I promised to meet Iolo!" |
Then Colin suddenly recalls he is supposed to be meeting Iolo for a pint.
 |
| Greta is brought to Maes-y-Deri |
When Iolo arrives at Maes-y-Deri with Greta, Auntie Kath has already switched on the children’s programmes on S4C.
 |
| Iolo has brought a present to thank Kath |
He thanks Kath for looking after Greta while Tyler is at work,
 |
| Greta looks at Iolo |
and Greta looks cheekily at him.
 |
| "Be a good girl for Auntie Kath" |
She is told to be a good girl for Auntie Kath, who wants to know who is the date whom Iolo is going to meet;
 |
| "No, Kath, I didn't" |
“Found him on this ‘Volcano’ app, did you?” and when he replies that he did not,
 |
| "You're not as 'with it' as Tyler, then" |
she adds, “You’re not as ‘with it’ as Tyler, then,” but realises that was rather a silly thing to say.
 |
| "Mr Right might be waiting for you tonight!" |
“You never know – Mr Right might be waiting for you tonight!” she tells him, and Iolo smiles as he leaves the house.
 |
| "As I told you yesterday, I want to say sorry . . ." |
Anita is yet again trying to speak to Dani, and leaves a further message, “As I told you yesterday, I want to say sorry –
 |
| ". . . but you're still not answering your phone!" |
“but you’re still not answering the phone! I was hoping we could have a chat about this, but, well, I’ll have to apologise on this now –
 |
| It would help if she sounded as if she meant it |
“I’m sorry – bye.”
 |
| "What does she expect, if she won't answer the phone?" |
When Siôn looks disapprovingly at her, she demands, What does she expect, if she won’t answer the phone?”
 |
| "Remember, you're the one at fault here, Anita!" |
He reminds Anita that she is the one at fault here, but she snarls, “She could still answer the phone!”
Siôn supposes that she may have better things to do, or perhaps there may be no signal, but Anita is disappointed not to have more support from him. “And I was expecting you not to make a mess of things again,” he goes on;
 |
| Anita sulks on the sofa |
she refuses the cup of tea which he offers to make.
 |
| "They're both very smart" |
At number 7, Iolo is trying to make up his mind which shirt to wear, but Colin breaks the news that he cannot make it tonight after all.
 |
| "Eileen is making me 'head honcho' at the shop!" |
“After you left, Eileen dropped a bit of a bombshell – she’s given me the rôle of ‘head honcho’ at the shop – moi! Not just serving and talking now, but the whole lot – ordering, staffing, stocking, accounts – everything!”
 |
| "Even more reason to celebrate" |
Iolo maintains that is even more reason to celebrate, but is told that there is a lot of preparation work to be done.
 |
| "Come on, Col – one drink, at least" |
Iolo is determined that they should have one drink at least, but Colin points out that Izzy is going to help him out, as is Aaron.
Iolo makes it clear that Colin is his ‘date’ tonight,
 |
| This comes as a shock to Colin |
and this causes some puzzlement.
 |
| The final café customer is going, at last |
The last customer finally vacates the café, and Jason groans, “I was starting to think he would never leave!”
 |
| "Really inconvenient – anyone would think this was a café or something" |
Kelly agrees that it is really inconvenient, and anyone would think this was a café or something.
 |
| "Tara, then, Jason!" |
They are shocked when the door bursts open and Tyler asks if they are closing. To give the impression there is nothing going on, Kelly says goodbye to Jason.
 |
| "Do you have any lasagne left?" |
Tyler wants to know if Kelly has any lasagne left; “I’ve got Greta tonight, and she loves it.” Kelly goes to the kitchen to check.
Colin arrives back at the chippy flat, with Iolo in tow, finding that a whiteboard has been set up, and Izzy is ready to lecture them. Colin says they can order a pizza later, which raises Aaron’s spirits.
 |
| Izzy begins her presentation |
“The first idea – a system to reward regular customers,” Izzy announces, but Colin is not sure about that,
 |
| "No, you wouldn't need a swipe card" |
as it would involve having to buy a new till. “No, you wouldn’t need a swipe card – we could print cards and stamp them, like they do in cafés,” Izzy replies, and puts a question mark next to it.
 |
| "What? Getting up early?" |
Colin suggests that they could have a paper round, which Aaron could do, but he does not fancy the idea of getting up early every morning; Izzy points out that he could earn money by doing so, and that rather changes Aaron’s attitude.
 |
| "Right, you carry on without me" |
By this time, Iolo has had enough, and tells them to carry on without him. Aaron thinks that it is about time they ordered the pizzas.
 |
| "We need more fencing for the top field . . ." |
As they walk through the farmyard, Eifion informs Eileen that they need to order more fencing for the top field, which she noticed had deteriorated.
 |
| ". . . and some more feed as well" |
“We need to order some more feed, as well,” he adds,
 |
| "If it's all getting too much for you, Eileen . . ." |
“Look, if it’s all getting too much for you, I’m willing to shoulder more of the burden. Sioned told me about the shop.”
 |
| Eileen thinks they will be able to cope now |
Eileen considers that they will be able to manage now she will be at Penrhewl more often; “And I’ve asked Sioned to take more responsibility with Cae Glas – but if we need you, I’ll let you know.”
 |
| "Dinner's ready" |
Sioned is approaching, and tells them that dinner is now ready, so they all go in.
 |
| "Yes, you take him to the Deri, Iolo!" |
Iolo’s next stop is Y Felin, and he invites his father for a drink in the Deri; Anita gives the impression that she would be pleased to get rid of Siôn.
 |
| "I'm terribly busy – as Anita well knows!" |
“Sorry, Iolo, I’m terribly busy – as Anita well knows,” replies Siôn,
 |
| "I have to finish this translation by tomorrow" |
“I have to finish this translation by tomorrow.”
In the background, Anita appears to be trying to contact Dani, as Iolo points out they could go for a quick one before closing time, but his father predicts the job will take him all night to finish.
 |
| Iolo has drawn a blank there as well |
Iolo disconsolately leaves the house.
 |
| "He must be desperate, if he's asking his father" |
“He must be desperate, if he’s asking his father to go for a pint!” Siôn comments, and Anita is still angry that Dani has not answered her.
 |
| "She's pretending I don't exist!" |
“She’s ‘ghosting’ me now – pretending that I don’t exist!” she growls, “Kelly taught her that!”
 |
| "You fall out with so many people, it's hard to keep count!" |
“You fall out with so many people, it’s hard to keep count!” remarks Siôn, and Anita goes upstairs in a huff.
 |
| An intruder in the café kitchen |
Kelly is cleaning up in the café kitchen when Jason silently creeps up behind her,
 |
| "Flipping heck, Jason!" |
and she squeals, “Flipping heck, Jason! Are you trying to give me a heart attack or what? How did you get in, anyway?” He reports that the back door was open, so she decides she will have to be more careful.
 |
| "What were we doing before Tyler interrupted us?" |
“Remind me, what were we doing before Tyler interrupted us?” Jason asks, “Was it something like this?” as he embraces her, and now she remembers. At this inopportune moment, his phone sounds, and he sees that it is a call from Sara.
 |
| "I'm a little bit busy at the moment" |
“I’m a little bit busy at the moment, to be honest,” he says, “What – now?
 |
| "OK, that's fine – no problem at all" |
“OK, that’s fine – no problem at all.”
 |
| "I have to go and pick up Ifan" |
He tells Kelly that he has to go and pick up Ifan, as Sara is running late.
 |
| "When shall I see you next?" |
“When shall I see you next?” Kelly demands, and he is not sure of that,
 |
| Jason will think of something |
but is determined to think of something.
 |
| Kelly's look of disappointment |
As he leaves, Kelly appears very disappointed.
 |
| Aaron and Colin look far from enthralled |
Aaron and Colin do not look as if they are enjoying their lecture, as Izzy moves on to special offers, but the buzzer sounds, and Aaron shouts, “Pizzas!”
 |
| Aaron clears the coffee table in a single bound |
He leaps over the coffee table and rushes downstairs;
 |
| "Let's eat the pizzas first" |
Colin suggests they eat first, before considering the next topic.
 |
| "We can do both at the same time, Dad" |
Izzy is of the opinion that they can do both at the same time,
 |
| "Men are not very good at multi-tasking" |
but her father maintains that men are not very good at multi-tasking.
Then she raises the subject of a spreadsheet with the accounts and the orders;
 |
| "So far out of muy comfort zone, I need a sat nav!" |
“Look, I feel so far outside my comfort zone, I need a sat nav!” Colin groans, “I’m afraid of making a mess of the whole thing!”
She argues that it is natural to have cold feet,
 |
| "These aren't cold – they're frozen solid!" |
but he stresses, “These aren’t cold – they’re frozen solid!”
 |
| Three exceedingly large pizzas |
Aaron comes upstairs, singing the praises of the pizzas – one Margherita, one Pepperoni – with extra pepperoni, and one Hawaiian.
 |
| "I should never have accepted Eileen's offer" |
“I should never have accepted Eileen’s offer,” Colin groans, “I’m phoning her to tell her,”
 |
| Izzy snatches his phone |
but Izzy grabs the phone from him and instructs him to wait until the morning, to see how he feels then. Aaron says that Colin was really up for it earlier.
 |
| They appear to have very healthy appetites |
The rather large pizzas are brought in,
 |
| "I'm not someone who leads the sway!" |
as Colin reflects, “The truth is, I’m someone who follows, aren’t I? Not someone who leads the way!” They begin to tuck into their pizzas.
 |
| Greta is suprised to see Iolo back again |
At Maes-y-Deri, Greta is playing quite happily when Iolo arrives to collect her, as the plans have changed;
 |
| "I might as well take Greta" |
“He cancelled at the last minute – I may as well take Greta, as she’s supposed to be with me tonight.”
 |
| "You're welcome to stay for dinner" |
Kath says that she is happy there, and is already in her pyjamas, so might as well and stay where she is. She adds that Iolo is welcome to stay for dinner, if he wants, but he declines the invitation, maintaining that it will be nice to have a night to himself.
 |
| "If he cancelled, it's his loss!" |
“Listen, Iolo, if this date cancelled on you tonight, it’s his loss,” Kath insists,
 |
| "There was no date – I was going to the Deri with Colin" |
but Iolo admits there was no date; he was supposed to meet Colin after work, but he could not make it.
 |
| "Why didn't you just say that from the start?" |
As he goes out of the door, Tyler asks, “Why didn’t you just say that from the start?”
 |
| "I thought he was starting to move on" |
and was under the impression that Iolo was starting to ‘move on’, which would make things a lot easier for everyone.
 |
| Iolo is home, alone |
Iolo is back at number 7;
 |
| He sits in the chair . . . |
he sits down in the armchair and places his keys on the table.
 |
| . . . with tears in his eyes |
There are tears in his eyes.
