| Dai is indulging in a spot of fly-tipping |
Dai has taken the car to a secluded spot where some fly-tipping has been going on, and empties boxes of Diane’s novel on to the pile.
 |
| "Can I have a shot of coconut oil?" |
In the café, Angharad asks Debbie for a coffee with a shot of coconut oil,
 |
| "We have soya milk or almond milk" |
but is told they only have soya milk or almond milk; she settles for a black coffee.
 |
| Llinos is having a well-earned break |
Llinos is sitting in the café, having a break from her various jobs, and Angharad decides to go and join Iolo .
“Where’s your beautiful little girl today, then?” she asks; he replies that she is with Tyler,
 |
| "You know what to do, don't you?" |
and remarks that sometimes it can be tough. “You know what to do, don’t you?”
 |
| "Make the ex wildly jealous!" |
she continues, “Pick yourself up, look more fabulous than ever – make the ex wildly jealous and desperate to get you back!”
 |
| Mark happens to pass the café |
Debbie sees Mark passing outside, and hurries out to speak to him;
 |
| "He wants you to leave his house?" |
he cannot believe that Iori wants her to leave his house,
 |
| "If I don't tell him why the police were talking to me" |
and she explains, “If I don’t tell him why the police were talking to me.”
 |
| "Tell him about Gwyneth, then" |
He advises that she should tell Iori about Gwyneth; “The last thing I want is Iori and Brenda gossiping, saying I’m a murderer and a drug dealer,” she replies, and he wonders whether the police have any evidence to connect her with the death of this Jessie.
 |
| "If you don't believe me, what hope do I have?" |
“If you don’t believe me, what hope do I have?” she wails.
 |
| DJ is out on his daily run |
DJ’s run happens to take him past the place where Dai is disposing of the books;
 |
| It looks like Dai is going to start a conflagration |
we see he also has a can of petrol, but DJ shouts at him to stop.
 |
| "Are you trying to give your father a heart attack?" |
“Are you trying to give your father a heart attack?” Dai demands, and he is asked if he wants to get arrested.
 |
| "You're lucky I'm off-duty" |
“You’re fly-tipping – you’re lucky I’m off-duty,” says DJ, picking up one of the books. Dai groans that he does not know what to do with them,
 |
| "I don't know what to tell Diane" |
as no-one outside Cwmderi wants to buy them – and he does not know how to tell Diane.
“You know how low she has been feeling lately – thinking that someone out there somewhere wanted to read and buy the book gave her a boost – I was trying to do her a favour.”
 |
| "You're not doing this land or the environment a favour!" |
DJ points out that he was not doing this land or the environment a favour – but concedes that he is being kind to Diane.
“I won’t arrest you, as long as you pick them up,” DJ assures him,
 |
| He agrees to help Dai |
“And as it’s for a good cause, I’ll help you.”
 |
| Iolo is 'pumping iron' |
In the gym, Angharad is watching as Iolo does some weight-lifting;
 |
| "Your technique is perfect, Iolo" |
she tells him that his technique is perfect, and he says that he does watch a lot of fitness videos online.
 |
| "Do you think you could put together a fitness programme for me?" |
“Do you think you could put together a fitness programme for me?” she enquires, and he recommends she ought to talk to Rhys.
 |
| "Where's Greta, then?" |
Tyler comes over, and Iolo immediately wants to know where Greta is; he is informed that she is with Kath.
 |
| Iolo appears to have been lumbereed with the job |
Tyler agrees that Iolo could make a fitness program for her, so she will be over there tonight with a bottle of wine, so they can discuss it.
 |
| "Can Greta stay with me tonight?" |
Tyler asks if it will be OK for Greta to stay with him tonight, as he wants them to watch The Lion King.
 |
| "Going to leave her with Kath, are you?" |
Iolo is under the impression that he is going to leave her with Kath and go out again.
 |
| "I've been looking for answers in the wrong places" |
“Listen, I’m not going out – that’s all stopped,” emphasises Tyler, “I’ve been looking for answers in the wrong places, with the wrong people – I want to spend time with Greta tonight.”
 |
| "She does realise you're gay, doesn't she?" |
As he is about to walk away, Tyler asks, “She does realise you’re gay, doesn’t she?”
 |
| "If she doesn't I'll have an interesting story to tell!" |
and Iolo answers that if she does not, he is going to have an interesting story to tell.
 |
| "I'm shocked you were going to dump them here" |
After they have managed to fit all the boxes of books back into the car, DJ says he is shocked that his father was going to dump them there;
 |
| "I can't believe what people are saying about Jim and Kath" |
“In memory of Jim, too – he deserves more respect than that. I can’t believe what people are saying about him and Kath – about the will and those fields. Do you think they were having an affair?”
 |
| "Look here, Pharaoh – he was a solid and genuine bloke!" |
Dai informs him, “Look here, Pharaoh, Jim was a lot of things, but he was a solid and genuine bloke – and he adored Eileen.
 |
| "If Kath Jones was involved, who knows?" |
“Having said that, with Kath Jones involved, who knows what was going on?”
He reaches the decision that he will have to dump all the books in a charity shop; “Far enough away from Cwmderi, so Diane doesn’t find them –
 |
| "I'll start in Swansea, and go on to Timbuktu!" |
“I’ll start in Swansea and then go to Timbuktu! I can’t risk seeing Diane getting low again, OK? Whatever people think about the book, I think the world of the person who wrote it! I would offer you a lift, but,
 |
| "As you can see, the car is choc-a-bloc!" |
“as you can see, the car is choc-a-bloc!”
 |
| "There's no way she's staying here!" |
In answer to Mark’s suggestion, Kath is raging, “There’s no way she’s staying here!”
 |
| "She had nothing to do with the murder!" |
As Debbie stands in the doorway, Mark emphasises that she had nothing to do with the murder of this Bethan, or Jessie. “Perhaps not, but she lived in that world, didn’t she?” is his mother’s reply, “She’s nothing but trouble.”
 |
| "Gwyneth was lying" |
Debbie tries to explain that Gwyneth was lying, but Kath points out, “They weren’t all lies, were they?
 |
| "What if the pigs come here, asking questions?" |
“What if the pigs come here asking questions? Are you going to deny that you know anything about it? And are you going to tell Ricky to lie again – to save her skin?”
“I told you that this was a mistake,” Debbie groans, and turns to leave the house, but Mark instructs her to stay where she is.
 |
| "I know what it's like to be falsely accused of killing someone!" |
“I know what it’s like to be falsely accused of killing someone,” he says, “It’s worse than any nightmare you can imagine! I’ve never felt so depressed in my life! Debbie has made mistakes,
 |
| "She didn't kill that woman!" |
“but she didn’t kill that woman, and it’s not right that she’s being accused of it! Imagine if you were in the same situation – please, Mam, let’s help her with this.”
 |
| Kath makes no further comment |
Kath says nothing.
 |
| "I haven't seen you since you were a little girl" |
In the Deri, Diane remarks that she has not seen Mai since she was little girl,
 |
| "Well, what are you, then?" |
and is informed by Cassie that ‘Em’ does not like to be considered as a girl. “Well, what are you, then?” Diane demands, and is told that she is ‘non-binary’.
 |
| "We have a bloke like that on the force" |
DJ remarks that they have a bloke like that on the force; “I know him as John, but we had a hell of a shock the other day when he turned up as Janet. Mind, he does make a pretty woman!”
 |
| "My situation is a little different" |
‘Em’ points out that her situation is a little different, and Diane assumes that she is gay. “No – I sleep with people I like,” she explains, “Now can we stop talking about me?”
 |
| "Is this just a fad , or . . ?" |
Cassie and Diane go to a table, with Diane wondering if this is just a fad, and cannot understand it.
 |
| "It's certainly not easy" |
Cassie agrees that it is not easy,
 |
| "She seems to be a lovely person" |
but Diane comments that she seems to be a lovely person, which Cassie regards as being the most important thing,
 |
| "The reunion was nothing like I imagined" |
but comments that their reunion was nothing like she had imagined.
 |
| Angharad is all prepared for a party |
Angharad arrives at number 7, complete with vodka, vermouth, olives and hors d’oeuvres.
 |
| "I've been compiling a fitness routine" |
Iolo has been compiling a fitness routine for her, but admits he does not know enough about it;
 |
| "We can find more interesting ways of keeping fit!" |
“Don’t worry about it – we can find much more interesting ways of keeping fit!” she laughs. He is careful to point out to her that he is gay, but she insists that does not matter;
 |
| "A change is as good as a rest" |
“Gran always used to say, ‘a change is as good as a rest’,” she replies,
 |
| "I like men" |
and he makes it very clear that he likes men.
 |
| "You're my new gay best friend!" |
“Of course I know that you’re gay, Iolo, “ she simpers, “You’re my new gay best friend – aren’t you lucky? Let’s get this party started!”
 |
| He does not know quite what to make of this woman |
Iolo is rather overwhelmed by this.
 |
| Mark arrives home |
Mark arrives home at Maes-y-Deri, where Debbie is sitting, rather uneasily, at the table;
 |
| "They're bound to question me again – and you" |
“She’s right, you know, your mother. The police are bound to look into Jessie’s murder in more detail – they’re bound to question me again – and you.”
 |
| "You had nothing to do with the death, Debs" |
He reminds her that she had nothing to do with the death, but she realises she does not have an alibi for the night Jessie was killed; “It’s Gwyneth’s word against mine.”
 |
| Someone is listening from the stairs |
Meanwhile, Kath is quietly coming down the stairs and listening to this conversation, as Mark tells Debbie there is no point assuming the worst; she should just wait for things to cool down.
 |
| "If you said we were together the night Jessie was killed" |
“There is one thing we could do to clear my name,” she begins, “If you said we were together the night Jessie was killed – we were living under the same roof then – not together, but . . .”
 |
| "But you were always out then" |
He remembers that she was always out at that time, as they were trying to avoid each other as much as possible, and does not want to give her that alibi.
 |
| "But my name would be cleared, Mark!" |
“But my name would be cleared!” she pleads, “You could say we went out to try and sort things – as long as our stories are straight, what harm will it do?”
He maintains that it is dangerous to start going to the cops now, and she says, “My name would be cleared, I could move back in with Iori – and there would be a nicer atmosphere here.”
 |
| "Look, you've already told the police you were in Llanelli" |
He reminds her that she has already told the police the truth, that she was in Llanelli, alone, but she answers, “I could say I got the dates mixed up – please Mark, it would be so easy to get me out of this hole.”
 |
| Kath is going out somewhere |
Kath, listening at the foot of the stairs, picks up her coat and quietly leaves the house.
 |
| "It was odd that Jim left her those fields" |
“I don’t think there was any affair,” Diane remarks, “But it was odd that Jim left her those fields. There we are, it’s none of our business.”
 |
| 'Em' remembers someone who played tennis at 79 |
DJ and ‘Em’ rejoin them, as ‘Em’ remembers a woman who used to live next door to them, and was still playing tennis at the age of 79.
 |
| "That's the sort of person you should write about" |
“After her husband died a group from Merched y Wawr met at the leisure centre twice a week for a game.” She tells Diane that is the sort of person she should be writing about,
 |
| "You've read my book, have you?" |
admitting that she has read some of Diane’s book, and also one of her mother’s.
 |
| "The characters are all stereotypes" |
“The characters in your book are all stereotypes – they depend on their looks and expect some man to rescue them,” ‘Em’ goes on,
 |
| "So I should write about people who don't know if they are a man or a woman?" |
and Diane irritably demands whether she should write about people who do not know if they are a man or a woman.
 |
| "There are a lot of people like me in the world!" |
“Believe it or not, there are a lot of people like me in the world,” ‘Em’ points out,
 |
| "This is just one person's opinion, Diane" |
and DJ tries to defuse the situation by reminding Diane that this is one person’s opinion.
 |
| "I'm fed up with all these PC peeople!" |
Cassie remarks that you write about what you want, and she is fed up with all these PC people who think the world revolves around them.
 |
| "I'm fed up with you – refusing to admit what a bad mother you've been!" |
They are all surprised when ‘Em’ suddenly gets up and exclaims, “Do you know what, Mam? I’m fed up with you too – refusing to admit what a bad mother you’ve been over the years, and blaming me for everything!” She storms out of the Deri.
 |
| "Do you think there is only one soulmate out there?" |
Lounging on the sofa, Angharad asks, “Do you think there is only one soulmate out there for us?”
 |
| "He's obviously still in love with you" |
Iolo maintains that he will not find another soulmate like Tyler for a long time. She comments that Tyler is still obviously in love with him, but he answers that a lot has happened, and anyway,
 |
| "I don't want to discuss my depressing love life" |
he does not want to discuss his depressing love life.
“What about you? Have you ever found ‘the one’?” he enquires,
 |
| "Several times – but I've always been disappointed" |
and she replies that it has happened several times but she has always been left disappointed. However, she is not one to give up, and is of the opinion that he is going to help her.
 |
| "I want you to introduce me to the men in this village" |
She explains, “I want you to introduce me to the men in this village –
 |
| "I'm sure there's someone who will fall for my charms" |
“I’m sure there’s someone out there who will fall for my charms.”
 |
| "I'm not sure how many single men there are" |
He is not sure how many single men there are in the village,
 |
| She does not bother about them being single |
but she does not confine herself to single men, and is confident that her charms work on everyone.
 |
| 'Em' apologises to Diane |
‘Em’ has gone to Bryntirion to apologise to Diane for what she said about the book;
Diane admits that it is rubbish,
 |
| "I have some more apologising to do" |
but it is pointed out to her that some people would love to read it, and that she should celebrate being an author. Now she will go, as she has some more apologising to do.
 |
| "Don't give up on your mother" |
Diane does not know much about her history, and urges her not to give up on her mother.
 |
| "She isn't a murderer – but she did sell drugs . . ." |
Now we see Kath in the interview room at the police station; “No, Debbie isn’t a murderer – but she did sell drugs,” she tells the DI.
 |
| ". . . the drugs that almost killed her own son!" |
“I’m sure that she sold the drugs that almost killed Ricky – her own son! That’s why Ricky doesn’t talk to her, and that’s why she and Mark separated. I’ve come here to tell you this because I don’t want to see her drag Mark down with her!”
 |
| "Do you have any evidence of this?" |
DI Davies has been silent until now, but enquires if Kath has any evidence;
 |
| "I sent her texts to tell her I knew . . ." |
she takes a phone from her pocket and shows some texts. “I sent her texts to tell her that I knew and that I was going to the cops.
 |
| ". . . you can see from her response that she's guilty" |
“You can see from her response that she’s guilty.”
 |
| DI Davies evaluates this evidence |
The DI looks at her, suspiciously.
 |
| "I shouldn't have talked to you like that" |
‘Em’ arrives back at number 9, and admits that she should never have talked to her mother like that. Cassie concedes that she was only telling the truth;
 |
| "I've let you down, disappointed you" |
“I’ve let you down, I’ve disappointed you – but to talk like that to Diane . . .”
 |
| "I've apologised to Diane" |
‘Em’ says that she has been apologising for that.
 |
| "I feel that you hate me – and I don't blame you" |
“Look, I want to help you with your education and everything else, but I feel that you hate me – and I don’t blame you,” Cassie begins, “You deserved better.”
 |
| "I'm just so angry with you!" |
‘Em’ replies, “I don’t hate you – I’m just so, so angry with you! I can’t understand why you left me.” Her mother replies that she felt a failure as a woman, a wife, and, more than anything, as a mother.
 |
| "I know I'm difficult, but I haven't got anyone else" |
‘Em’ pleads not to be sent away; “I know I’m difficult, but I haven’t got anyone else.”
 |
| "I didn't think you would want to stay" |
Cassie did not think she would want to stay, and thinks that is the best news she has heard in a while.
 |
| Greta is pointing out something to Tyler |
At Maes-y-Deri, Greta is watching the TV with Tyler,
 |
| Mark will go and make a pot of tea |
and Mark gets up to make a cup of tea. The sound of a siren can be heard outside, and he answers a knock at the door.
 |
| Now Debbie is very troubled |
Debbie looks very apprehensive as DI Davies comes in
 |
| "Debbie Jones, I'm arresting you" |
and announces, “Debbie Jones, I’m arresting you on suspicion of possessing and supplying drugs.”
 |
| "I haven't done anything – tell her, Mark!" |
Tyler quickly takes Greta out of the room as Debbie protests that she has not done anything, and there is no proof. She appeals to Mark to do something,
 |
| "Don't say anything until the solicitor arrives" |
but all he can do is warn her not to say anything until the solicitor arrives.
 |
| Everything went according to Kath's plan |
Debbie is escorted from the house as Kath makes no comment whatsoever.
