Anita still cannot believe what has happened

Anita continues to look in horror at Dani, and Garry comes rushing upstairs, 

Garry investigates the noise

demanding what all the noise is about;  he asks Anita what happened, and is told, “She fell – I think she hit her head.”

"Dani – are you all right?"

As he tries to rouse Dani, Anita is still insisting, “Greta’s here somewhere, you know!” and goes to the bedrooms in her quest.

"I'm more nervous, as I've failed once!"

At Penrhewl, Sioned says that she is more nervous this time, because she has already failed once.   Eifion replies, “You’ve improved a lot since then – you’re bound to pass – don’t panic!   And once you’ve passed, you can tow a caravan to the Royal Welsh for the week.”

"The Show's not really my scene"

Sioned does not consider that the Show is really her scene any more, 

"That's the place to learn about stock and things"

but he advises, “If you want to farm, that’s the place to learn about stock and things.”   She would rather have a horse, so she could jump over fences and would not have to open the gates;  she reasons that they could sell the quad bike then.

"Get rid of the farmer's best friend – I don't think so!"

“And get rid of the farmer’s best friend?   I don’t think so!” answers Eifion.   Sioned wants to know if there are lessons on driving quad bikes, but he tells her to concentrate on passing this test first, and will ask her a few test questions.

“How do you use windscreen washers and wipers?   I can’t believe they asked that!” he laughs, but she wants him to ask a difficult one, 

"How do you know that the horn is working?"

so he says, “How do you know that the horn is working?”   

"I'll go and hitch up the trailer"

She is going to hitch up the trailer, as they will soon have to go, and she thinks that she will be all right.

"Take a few deep breaths, Dani"

Dani has now come round;  Garry urges her not to move, and to take a few deep breaths.   “How did you fall?” he asks, 

"Anita pushed me!"

and she informs him that she did not fall – she was pushed by Anita.

Tyler has had an unfortunate experience in the shower

Then there is an angry shout from Tyler;  “She barged in on me in the shower!”   

"She has disappeared!"

Anita protests that she is looking for Greta, and shouts incoherently that she was outside the café and now she has disappeared.

Tyler points out that she cannot just disappear, and as Anita keeps wailing, “I thought Dani had taken her – she’s missing!” she rushes from the flat.

Her arm is giving Dani a lot of pain

Dani has now managed to stand up, but cries out with pain as her arm has been injured;  Garry wants to take her to A&E, but she insists, “Not until we find Greta!”

Colin can see that business is booming

At the chip shop flat, Colin remarks, “There’s no need to ask whether business is going well, is there?”   

"There are loads of orders for Valentine's Day"

Izzy has loads of orders for Valentine’s Day, and Colin remembers his first Valentine’s Day card;  

"There was only a question mark and a big kiss on it"

“It was in form 2 – there was only a question mark and a big kiss on it.   In my mind, I was sure that a stunner in form 3 had sent it – mind you, I didn’t have enough guts to ask her! I used to get loads in form 6 – 

"Your father was a the pin-up boy at Lampeter School"

“your father was the pin-up boy at Lampeter School!”

"Do you need a bit of help with this?"

He asks whether Izzy needs a bit of help, 

"You have to do what I say"

but she reminds him that he has to do what she says;  

"Don't forget who helped you make your first million!"

“OK – all right, boss!” he replies, “But don’t forget who helped you make your first million!”

Iolo is just going into number 7 . . .

Iolo takes the tools from his van and is about to go into number 7 

. . . when Anita comes running along the street

when Anita comes running along the street, past the empty buggy;  “Iolo, is Greta with you?” she demands, 

"She's with you, Anita!"

and he replies that she is with Anita.   

"She disappeared, just like that!"

“Did you take her from the café earlier?” she goes on, “She disappeared, just like that!”

"Stop playing games, Tyler!"

Tyler also arrives, and Iolo orders him to stop playing games and bring Greta back, now.   

"You're not fit to look after a child!"

Tyler accuses Anita, “You’re not fit to look after a child – you’re so irresponsible!”   It is pointed out that although Greta was strapped in, she is now able to undo the straps, 

They will search the area

so they begin to search the immediate area, assuming that she has simply wandered away.

"It looks as if you've thought of everything"

Sara tells Jason, “It looks as if you’ve thought of everything we’ll need – the village will be as clean as a whistle!”   He says that, at least, something positive will come out of what happened to Ifan, and proposes starting the clean-up at the end of the week.

"We'll call it 'Cymoni'r Cwm'!"

“And I’ve though of a name for the campaign – ‘Cymoni’r Cwm’!” he announces. [Tidying up the valley]   She is pleased to see that he is full of enthusiasm, and he points out that they need to get the word out that they are looking for volunteers;  

"With you and me in charge, anything's possible!"

“With you and me in charge, Sara, anything’s possible!” he says.

"One of the trailer tyres is almost bald"

Sioned panics that one of the tyres on the trailer is almost bald, and when Eifion says that changing the wheel will be good practice for her, she continues, “The spare has a puncture!”   Eifion remarks that Jim was supposed to get it repaired, but must have forgotten.   

"Don't blame Jim!"

“Don’t blame Jim!” Sioned snaps at him, 

"You'd do better to cancel the test"

and he says he will see if they can borrow the trailer from Fron Isa, but that does not work very well.   She would do better to cancel the test.

"I'll find if the examiner has a spare trailer"

Sioned will phone the examiner to see if they have a spare trailer;  “It’s worth a try!” she exclaims, “At least I can drive there without you driving me up the wall!”

Colin appears to be wielding a hairdryer

The candle-making business is in full swing, 

"I could make special candles for the wedding"

and Izzy suggests that she could make some special candles for the wedding;  “That would be a lovely personal touch, wouldn’t it?” says her father, “I can’t wait – 

"Your mother and I got married bacause you were on the way"

“your mother and I got married because you were on the way – we didn’t have time for a lot of fuss.”

Izzy wonders whether her mother will be invited to the wedding, and he replies that she will, 

"As long as she doesn't list all my faults"

“As long as she doesn’t list all my faults when the registrar says, ‘If anyone has any reason why this couple . . .”   

Izzy replies that Britt knows about them already, then her phone sounds.  

"Aaron's been taking orders from his friends at school"

“Aaron has been taking orders for candles from his friends, so they can give them as Valentine’s Day presents,” she tells Colin, 

"He thinks a lot of you, you know"

who remarks that Aaron thinks a lot of her.   She says that she is almost like a big sister to him now.

“I don’t think I’ve seen Britt this happy for a long time,” he declares, “And that’s down to you!”   

"I'm closer to Britt than to my own Mam"

Izzy maintains that she is closer to Britt than she is to her own mother these days.

Back gardens are being searched

The search for Greta continues, with every garden being investigated, 

Tyler comes across one of her toys

then Tyler finds one of her soft toys discarded by a bin at the back of the shop.   

"I'm going to contact the police, Ty"

He and Iolo fear that she could be with a stranger, and will contact the police.

"Whatever is that word?"

Sara finds fault with Jason’s handwriting, and insists she will make the list of necessary equipment;  

"Do you think it would be worth contacting the Council?"

“All this stuff isn’t going to be cheap – do you think it would be worth contacting the Council?” she says, 

"Well, it should be their responsibility"

and he points out that it should be their responsibility in the first place.   “Your mother could use her influence in the council,” Sara adds.

"She had to go away to sort her head out"

Jason is not sure that is a good idea, as his mother has had to go away to sort her head out. 

"That accident had an effect on her"

Sara appreciates that the accident had an effect on her;  

"Our marriage breaking down didn't help, either"

“Our marriage breaking down didn’t help, either,” he adds;  she argues that they could all point the finger – but need to move on now.

“That’s what I’m trying to do, by organising this with you,” he answers, 

Then Dylan gets involved again, and has a better name

and then she receives a text from Dylan, to say that the end of the week is fine with him.   He has also thought of a better name than ‘Cymoni’r Cwm’ – simply ‘Cwmoni’.

"I love the name – and so does Jason!"

Without any consultation with Jason, she phones Dylan, and informs him, “I love the name – and Jason loves it too.   Right, that’s fantastic – I’ll go to the website now – what’s the address again?”   

Jason goes to hang out the washing

Now that Dylan appears to be taking over, Jason will go and hang out the washing.

"There's no sign of her – where can she be?"

Anita wails, “There’s no sign of her – where can she be?”   

"I found this behind the shop"

Tyler produces the toy which he found behind the shop, and Anita confirms that it was in the buggy.   

"I was sure you had taken her!"

Dani wonders if Greta could find her way to Y Felin on her own, and again Anita says that she had been sure that Dani had taken her.

"You shouldn't have pushed me!"

“I wouldn’t have taken her – and you shouldn’t have pushed me!” Dani snarls in reply, but Anita denies the pushing.   Garry advises that blaming each other will not help, and is sure that she cannot have gone far.   

"The police are on their way"

Iolo informs them that the police are on their way.

"Why don't we use Facebook?"

Dani suggests that they use Facebook, with a description of Greta, and Anita describes her blue coat and a little pink hat, then dissolves into tears.   Garry instructs her to go back to Y Felin, 

"Just keep in touch with me, OK?"

but she shouts, “Just keep in touch with me, OK?”

Tyler has received a text, taunting him

Tyler has just received a text from a number he does not recognise, containing a photo of Greta in the park.   

"You've done enough for one day – go home!"

As he and Iolo head in that direction, Garry stops Anita from following them;  “You’ve done enough as it is for one day – go home!”

"I'm useless at everything!"

Sioned marches into the farmhouse, growling angrily, “I should stick to the accounts – I’m useless at everything else!”   

"They're just making money out of you"

Eifion is under the impression that the authorities are forcing her to try the test over and over again in order to make money.

Then she reveals that she has actually passed

Then she triumphantly produces the certificate to indicate that she has passed the test, and laughs at him;  “One minor and not a single major!” she boasts, “How many people can say that?   I’m so glad I’ve done it at last!”   

"Jim will be pleased"

Eifion is sure that Jim will also be pleased.   “He was more excited than me when I phoned him just now,” she relates, “I can take the cows to the market for you – after a bit of practice!   

Sioned wants to celebrate

“Do you fancy coming to the Deri with me to celebrate?”

"Every farmer knows the stock comes first, every time"

Eifion points out that he has to feed the cows first;  “Every farmer knows that the stock comes first every time – just because you passed the trailer test doesn’t mean you’re the boss!”

"Everyone knows I'm the boss!"

“Everyone knows I’m the boss!” she asserts, and grabs his other slice of toast.

There is no sign of Greta in the park

In the park, there is no sign of Greta, and Garry asks if Tyler is sure he does not recognise the phone number;  it is possible that they are being watched from behind a bush.   

Tyler tries ringing the number

He tries to ring the number, but with no success.

"I can't believe Anita took her eyes off Greta"

“I can’t believe Anita took her eyes off Greta – anyone could have taken her!” wails Iolo. Garry again says he is taking Dani to A&E, but she refuses to go until they find Greta.

As they arrive at the Deri, Eifion asks Sioned what she wants;  “A bottle of bubbly, if you’re paying!” she replies, 

"I was thinking more of gin and tonic"

but he was thinking more in terms of a gin and tonic.   

"You would think she'd won 'Fferm Ffactor'!"

They inform Izzy that Sioned has passed her trailer test;  “But you would think she’d won ‘Fferm Ffactor’!” says Eifion.   

"I'm very impressed"

Izzy is suitably impressed, and Sioned still wants a bottle of bubbly.   

"It's great to see you so happy"

Izzy goes to rejoin her father, who says that it is great to see her so happy;  

"There's no problem, as long as Mam stays out of my way!"

“There’s no problem as long as Mam stays out of my way!” she answers.   He can see that the two of them are exactly the same – 

"I wish tou two would sort everything out"

the problem is that they are too much alike, and he wishes they would sort everything out.

"I didn't get much of a welcome there!"

“Well, I didn’t get much of a welcome when I went to get the rest of my stuff,” she tells him, but Colin reckons she should not criticise her mother.   “I’ve got a new family now,” Izzy insists, but is warned they are not replacing Lois and her mother.

"It says Greta's gone missing"

Looking at Facebook on her phone, Izzy sees that Greta has gone missing;  “There’s a message, asking if anyone has seen her in the last hour.”   

"What's this about Greta?"

She goes over and asks Anita what is going on with Greta, and she says that they think she is in the park, but she has not heard yet.

"It's all my fault!"

“It’s all my fault!” Anita wails, bursting into tears, and Colin gets her to sit down.   “I was looking after her, you see!”   

"I hope nothing bad's happened to her!"

Colin recalls when Izzy was lost on a beach, and they found her by the icecream van – it was only a few minutes, but it seemed like hours at the time.   “I hope nothing bad’s happened to her!” sobs Anita.

Another palatial house – paid for by drug money

Sara is looking at the details of another house from Tomos ac Ellis;  “Yes, there’s plenty of room in the back garden for Ifan to run around – he’d love it!” she enthuses.  
Then she tells Jason that Tomos ac Ellis have found them the perfect house, and shows him the webpage.

"What does it matter if I like it?"

“What does it matter if I like it?’ he demands, 

"You didn't like it when I moved into the café without telling you"

but she reminds him that he did not like it when she moved into the cafe without telling him.

“Now I am telling you, and you’re still not happy!” she complains, and they return to their preparations.   

"We need to arrange food, Sara"

Jason says they will need to arrange food for the volunteers, and he is pretty sure he can persuade the Deri to make sandwiches for them.

"Dylan's happy to put on a spread at Tapas"

“There’s no need – Dylan is happy to put on a spread at Tapas, after we've finished,” Sara tells him, 

"Why does Dylan have to stick his nose in?"

and he wonders why Dylan has to stick his nose into what was his idea.   Sara maintains that Dylan is only trying to help.

“Well, let him organise it, then!” Jason growls, 

"Right, I'll let you organise it!"

and Sara picks up her coat, telling him to organise it himself.   “I thought we were doing this together for Ifan,” he says, but Sara thinks that it will be better this way.   He should just text to tell her what he wants her to do.

"It sounds as if someone has taken her"

As they arrive back at the chippy flat, Izzy remarks that it sounds as if someone has taken Greta;  “She couldn’t have got very far on her own – I just think someone would have found her by now if she had just wandered off.”

"That day you went missing, I couldn't think straight"

Colin says that his heart stopped the day that she went missing, and he could not think straight – he was running around the place like a blind turkey, and sweating buckets.   

"Don't worry – I'm alive and well"

“You don’t have to worry any more – I’m alive and well!” Izzy laughs.

"Your mother – she didn't panic at all"

“Thanks to your mother – she was the sensible one – she didn’t panic at all!” he remembers, “She knew exactly where you would be – she knows you too well!   

"She doesn't enjoy falling out with you"

“Look, I know she can be hard on you sometimes, but she doesn’t enjoy falling out with you.”

"She's always looking for a reason to have a go!"

Izzy has the definite impression that she does;  “She’s always looking for a reason to have a go!”   Colin says that she only wants the best for Izzy, but it is pointed out that Gaynor more or less threw her daughter out.

"She must have her reasons"

“She must have had her reasons for being angry with you,” Colin suggests,” 

"She should discuss it, rather than screaming and shouting!"

so Izzy maintains she should have discussed it, rather than screaming and shouting.   “Go and talk to her – please – you need to sort this nonsense out,” her father begs Izzy, “Don’t be childish, Esyllt!”

She maintains that it is her mother who was being childish;  

"So she could shack up with her new boyfriend!"

“She wanted me out from the beginning – so she could shack up with her new boyfriend!” She goes to watch television in her room, and says she will tidy up the kitchen later.

There is still no sign of Greta

Iolo and Tyler have been searching the further reaches of the park when another text message arrives;  Tyler reveals that they are being watched, then adds that there is no need to call the police again, as Greta is safe.   

So Aled is behind this kidnapping

Iolo reads the message, “Greta’s home with me.   Come alone.   Aled.”   

"I'm going to kill him!"

Iolo declares, “I’m going to kill him!” 

"He asked me to go there alone"

but Tyler stresses that he has been asked to go there alone.   “No – I’m coming with you – to give him a good hiding!”

"We shouldn't upset him, for Greta's sake!"

“We shouldn’t upset him, for Greta’s sake!” warns Tyler, and promises that he will sort this out.   

Dani's arm is not getting any better

It appears that now Garry and Dani are heading for the hospital, 

Iolo stands, alone and helpless

and Iolo stands helplessly in the park.
