| Mark will be accompanying Tyler |
Tyler is preparing to go to his court hearing, accompanied by Mark; Kath tries to assure him that things will not be as bad as he thinks. “Especially as you’re pleading guilty,” Mark adds.
 |
| Dani is surprised that Mark is going |
Dani joins them, and is surprised that Mark is going with them, but he replies, “Tyler deserves some support, doesn’t he?”
 |
| Kath wishes him good luck |
Kath wishes him good luck, and as Tyler looks along the road,
 |
| Along the street, Garry is watching |
he sees Garry, watching from outside the Deri.
Striding along the street towards him is Dylan; “Oh yeah, where have you been hiding?” Garry demands, “I haven’t seen you in the Deri lately.”
 |
| "You know – there's always some business to sort out" |
Dylan says that there is always some business for him to sort out, and stresses that he cannot believe what happened to Mathew.
 |
| "I've got a couple of malts I need to try" |
Garry is just grateful that he could do something to help, and adds, “I’ve got a couple of malts I need to try later on – if you’re around.”
 |
| "I never turn down a whisky" |
Dylan is not one to turn down the offer of some whisky and agrees to see him later.
 |
| Is Cassie working on another blockbuster? |
Cassie is working on the laptop when there is a knock at the door;
 |
| Gwern goes upstairs to fetch something |
Gwern is home from school, and says he is just going upstairs to fetch something.
 |
| "With everything that's going on with Tyler" |
At APD, Kath warns Diane that she might be rather late for the Gin Club tonight; “I could do without bloomin’ babysitting today, with everything that’s going on with Tyler,” she moans.
Dai, who is arranging the garden tools outside the shop, comments, “Disgusting!” but Kath maintains that there are two sides to every story.
 |
| "Right – we'll see what the court says!" |
“Right – we’ll see what the court says!” he continues, and she walks away.
Diane reprimands Dai for his attitude, and then her phone sounds,
 |
| "Men like that should be castrated!" |
as he growls, “Men like that should be castrated – that would stop them!” Diane appears puzzled by the message on her phone, so he grabs it to have a look.
 |
| He reads the message on her phone |
“Western Post,” he reads, “How are you, Diane? I hope you’re well. Following the excellent review of your first novel, I’d like to offer you your own advice column.”
 |
| "The Western Post's agony aunt!" |
He looks at Diane and exclaims, “The Western Post’s agony aunt – you’ve arrived now, Diane!” She is adamant that she is not going to do it, but he protests that she is usually very willing to give advice.
 |
| "That 'excellent' review – I wrote it" |
She is forced to confess, “The excellent review they mentioned – I wrote it,”
 |
| Dai cannot stop laughing |
and Dai finds this hugely amusing, much to her disgust.
 |
| Aaron has become ecologically aware |
Aaron is suddenly obsessed with reducing rubbish; “It’s the only way you adults are going to listen,” he informs Colin.
 |
| "They must have starved themselves over Easter" |
Britt has brought their lunch upstairs from the chippy, and imagines that people must have been starving themselves over Easter, the way they are queueing outside the chip shop.
Colin explains that Aaron’s school project is about protecting the environment;
 |
| Aaron lists the ecological disasters . . . |
“All all this contributes to its destruction,” says Aaron, “Look, plastic bottles that end up on the beach, gel that’s full of micro beads, Easter egg foil you can’t recycle!”
 |
| . . . and is getting rather tiresome |
Colin replies that they have got the message loud and clear, but Aaron shouts, “No, you haven’t, because you still buy this rubbish! Use paper bags, tins instead of foil, soap instead of shower gel!”
 |
| Britt wants none of it |
Britt’s response is, “When you have to run a home and feed everyone on my wages, get back to me. Microbeads? What’s the world coming to?”
|
| "There won't be a world left if we carry on like this!" |
Aaron emphasises that there will not be a world left if they carry on like this.
 |
| "I'm trying to write a letter – can you help me?" |
Gwern comes downstairs, advising Cassie, “I’m trying to write a letter – can you help me?
 |
| "It's to Mam" |
“It’s to Mam.” He has only managed a couple of sentences, hoping that she is OK, and pointing out that he misses her.
 |
| That top is rather . . . 'over the top' |
She agrees to give him some assistance; “Why don’t you tell Mam what you been doing with your friends – she’d like to know about that.”
 |
| "That's not for me to decide, Gwern" |
He wonders if he could go and see her, but she explains that it is not up to her to decide.
 |
| They look rather stern after the verdict |
Returning to the Deri after the court case, Dani will get them all a drink;
 |
| "A six month suspended sentence and a fine . . ." |
Garry is eager to know the result, and she tells him, “A six month suspended sentence and a fine.” He is surprised at the lightness of the sentence, until she adds, “And he’s on the register for seven years.”
 |
| "Sex Offenders' Register!" |
“Sex Offenders’ Register!” says Garry, with some relish.
 |
| Tyler is told he no longer has a job |
When she takes over the drinks to Tyler and Mark, Garry announces to Tyler, “I don’t want you working here any more!” He turns to Dani and adds, “We’re a family pub, Dan.” She protests that he was fine about it earlier, but he stresses, “There’s a difference between you going to his court case and him working here.
 |
| "I don't want him drinking here, either" |
“In fact, I don’t want him drinking here, either – finish that and go.”
 |
| "I'll tell everyone to boycott the place!" |
Mark objects to this; “If Tyler can’t drink here, I’ll tell everyone to boycott the place!” Garry wishes him good luck with that,
 |
| "He can stay as long as he wants, Garry!" |
but Dani insists that he can stay as long as he wants – and when he is ready for another drink, he should just ask.
 |
| "Don't make an issue of this as well!" |
She snarls at Garry, “Don’t make an issue of this as well! After everything you said, you’re not trying to help – you always go on about family, but how important am I to you?”
 |
| "You're everything to me, Dan" |
He replies that she is everything to him;
 |
| "Well, show it, then!" |
“Well, show it, then!” she warns.
 |
| Aaron continues his ecological survey |
In the chip shop, Aaron is helping himself to some chips, and informs his mother, “Did you know you can’t recycle these containers,
 |
| "The fish are full of microplastics" |
and the fish are full of microplastics?”
Britt is rather tired of this, and reminds him that she cannot stop selling fish in a fish and chip shop. “He’s driving me bonkers with all this environment business!” she tells Colin, but he is of the opinion that for once the children are showing them the way.
Then he notices Kath passing the door, and reminds her she has a shift in the shop this afternoon, as he has an important business meeting.
 |
| "I can't – I'm looking after a houseful of children" |
“I can’t – I’m looking after a houseful of children,” she answers, then her phone rings, and she walks out of the shop as she speaks to Mark.
 |
| "Don't tell me – potatoes are bad for the environment too!" |
Britt remarks to Aaron, “Don’t tell me – potatoes are bad for the environment too!” He explains that they are not if they are organic.
 |
| "He can work the later shift – when there are no children here" |
Dani is seeking a compromise with Garry; “He can work the later shift – there won’t be any children here then.” They are interrupted by Kath who marches in, demanding what is going on about Tyler losing his job.
Dai, who is at the bar, comments, “Quite right, too!”
 |
| "Workers have rights too, Dai" |
Kath points out that workers have rights,
 |
| ". . . someone who has 'messed around' with kids" |
and he goes on, “The truth is, people don’t want to be served by someone who has ‘messed around’ with kids.”
Mark comes over and reminds him that he did not have any problems the other night, but is told, “But it’s official now.
 |
| "You can't mind children with a sex offender there" |
“I’d be worried if I were you, Kath – you can’t mind children at home with a sex offender living there.”
 |
| "Don't call him that, Dai!" |
Dani urges Dai not to call him that,
 |
| "That's what I am – that's what the court said!" |
but Tyler has now come towards the bar, and admits, “That’s what I am! That’s what the court said. It would be easier if I wasn’t here.” He walks out of the Deri, and Dani cannot dissuade him.
 |
| "Hasn't he been punished enough?" |
“You could have stopped him!” she tells Garry, and Kath maintains that he has been punished enough.
 |
| "Well, he was the one who decided to leave" |
Garry casually remarks that he was the one who decided to leave.
 |
| Colin rearranges the asparagus |
As Colin displays the asparagus outside the shop,
 |
| "I can do that shift for you now, Col" |
Kath informs him that she can do that shift this afternoon for him now; he is pleased to hear that, and she says that she had a lot on her mind with Tyler. “You can go to this important meeting now – I’ll see you later.”
 |
| Colin hands over the shop keys |
She seems to be very keen for him to go straightaway, so he hands over the keys and hurries off.
 |
| She immediately closes the shop and locks it |
Once she gets into the shop, she turns the sign to read ‘closed’ and locks up.
 |
| "Gwern asked me to help write a letter to his Mam" |
In the chip shop, Cassie asks Britt for another sausage; “I don’t know how much lunch Gwern has had today – he’s not himself. He asked me to help him write a letter to his mother, as he is missing her.”
 |
| "Does he understand what she has done?" |
Britt wonders if he understands what she has done, and Cassie replies that Garry has told him;
 |
| "Whatever she's done, she's still his mother" |
“The thing is, it would be nice if he could see his mother – whatever Gwyneth has done, she’s still his mother.” Britt does not think that Garry would be in favour of that,
 |
| "Could you have a word with Garry, Britt?" |
so she is asked, “Could you have a word with him?”
 |
| "He doesn't listen to me nowadays" |
Britt laughs; “He doesn’t listen to me nowadays, sister or not! You should tell Dani – perhaps she can persuade him.” Cassie hates to think of Gwern losing touch with his mother.
 |
| Kath has brought Greta and Esther to the shop . . . |
The next we see of Kath is when she brings Greta and Esther into the shop; “We’re going to have fun today,” she tells them,
 |
| . . .for a picnic in the back room |
“We’re going to have a picnic in the shop, out the back. You haven’t been here before, have you?”
 |
| She warns them to be quiet |
She gives each of them an apple and some crisps, warning them to be quiet when she hears someone coming into the shop.
 |
| "Do these magazines still have agony aunt columns?" |
It is Diane, who has heard about what happened to Tyler from Dai; she wants to know if the magazines on the shelf still have agony aunt columns, but Kath is not sure of that.
 |
| Kath gathers together a few . . . |
She is eager to get rid of Diane, and selects several magazines,
 |
| . . . and lets Diane have them for free . . . |
which she says that Diane can have for free, explaining that it is almost the end of the month, and Colin wants to get rid of them.
 |
| . . . then breathes a sigh of relief |
She is relieved when Diane goes, and returns to the children in the back room;
 |
| "Remember – not too much noise" |
“Are you are enjoying that picnic?’ she asks, and again tells them not to make too much noise.
 |
| She turns up the volume on the radio |
Just to be on the safe side, she turns on the radio loudly, in case there is any sound from the back room.
 |
| Dani cannot contact Tyler |
Dani is trying to contact Tyler, and at the bar Garry is sampling whisky with Dylan,
 |
| "No – that one's like medicine!" |
who grimaces, “Oh, no – that one’s like medicine!” Garry prefers to describe it as ‘quite peaty’, but Dylan says he is more of a red wine man.
It so happens that Garry has a couple of bottles of Bordeaux from the 80s upstairs, which were a gift from a client;
 |
| "Why don't you and Sara come over next week for a meal?" |
“They’re waiting for someone who can appreciate them,” he remarks, “Why don’t you and Sara come over for a meal next week?”
 |
| Dani is definitely not happy with this |
Dani protests that she has a lot on next week, so Garry will get Jaclyn to cook, so they can all enjoy themselves. Dani does not like being overruled, and Garry praises Jaclyn’s skills;
 |
| "I'm surprised you let Jaclyn go so easily" |
“I’m surprised you let her go so easily,” he says.
 |
| "You can be too close sometimes" |
“You know what it’s like working with family,” Dylan replies, “You can be too close sometimes.” Garry and Dani exchange a meaningful glance.
 |
| "Why would anyone target Mathew?" |
“Has the attack on Mathew affected the business at all?” Garry enquires, “It’s odd, isn’t it? I can’t understand why anyone would target Mathew – we may never know.”
 |
| "Not now, Cassie – talk to Garry" |
Cassie comes in, and would like a word with Dani about Gwern; “Not now, Cassie – if you’re worried, talk to Garry – he’s Gwern’s father,” she irritably replies.
 |
| "I can't do that - I have to check the stock" |
“No, I can’t do that – I have to check the stock,” he tells her, but she protests that she can do that, as it is so quiet. Then he hears a noise from the back room,
 |
| Kath tries in vain to block his path |
and pushing Kath aside to investigate, discovers the two little girls.
 |
| "I can explain, Colin" |
“I can explain – it was too late to change my arrangements,” she informs him, but he is adamant that she must take them home now.
 |
| "Tyler's on the Sex Offenders' Register" |
“I can’t take them home,” she replies, “Because Tyler’s on the Sex Offenders’ Register.”
 |
| "I want them out of the shop pronto!" |
This cuts no ice with Colin; “I want them out of the shop pronto – no messing! I don’t care where you take them – if Eileen hears I’m running a nursery in the shop, I’ll be out on my ear, before you can say Rala Rwdins!” [A Welsh story about a friendly witch]
 |
| "I'm glad you're serving – I can enjoy my pint now" |
Garry hands Dai his pint; “I’m glad you’re serving, not Tyler – I can enjoy my pint now,” Dai remarks.
 |
| Garry gives Cassie a bottle of gin |
Garry has found a new gin for Cassie’s Gin Club, as Dai continues his tirade,
 |
| "Magi Post will be turning in her grave!" |
“What’s become of Cwmderi? Drugs, acid attacks, paedophilia? It wasn’t like this in the past – Magi Post will be turning in her grave!”
Garry is attending a business meeting tomorrow;
 |
| Garry suggests that Dylan could make some contacts |
“There will be a few people there who could be useful to you,” he tells Dylan, who is always pleased to make new connections.
 |
| The Gin Club are getting stuck into their drinks |
Cassie announces to the Gin Club that the latest bottle has rather a kick to it; “Just the way I like my men!” she laughs.
Dai saunters across to ask Diane, “Have you had a chance to tell them?
 |
| "You're looking at Cwmderi's new Marjorie Proops!" |
“Ladies, you’re looking at Cwmderi’s new Marjorie Proops – she’s been offered a column in the Western Post as an agony aunt.” Once again she says that she is not going to do it, but Cassie considers that she is the perfect person.
“Have you read those things?” demands Diane, “I could never give advice on such . . . personal matters.”
 |
| "We've seen it all before – and more than once!" |
Cassie considers that is the advantage of being a mature woman; “We have seen it all before – and more than once!”
 |
| Tyler is looking dejected |
At Maes-y-Deri, Tyler is sitting on the sofa, looking dejected when Mark says that he is going to the shop;
 |
| "The worst is over now" |
“Hey, I know today was hard, but the worst is over now. At least you know where you stand, and now you can . . . well, you know.”
 |
| "No – there's a lot worse to come!" |
Tyler does not share his optimism; “No, this is just the start – there’s a lot worse to come. You must have seen how people like me are treated.”
 |
| "Remember you've got people on your side" |
Mark urges him to remember that he has people on his side; “Yes, just a couple,” Tyler concedes, “Thanks for being there today.”
Mark assures him that is what mates do, but Tyler had hoped that Iolo would be there; “Or at least got in touch –
 |
| "Iolo feels the same as everyone else" |
“that just goes to show that he feels the same as everybody else.”
 |
| "I'm sure there's another reason" |
Mark is sure that there is another reason, but Tyler can see no point in trying to contact him; “All he and everyone else sees is that I’m a sex offender.”
As they continue drinking gin in the Deri, Kath points out that there are a few people to whom she would like to give advice, and is told by Diane that she is welcome to do so; “Because I don’t want to do it!”
 |
| Once again, Diane has drunk too much |
When she unsteadily gets up from her chair and staggers off in the direction of the ladies,
 |
| "Where's that e-mail from the Western Post?" |
Cassie picks up her phone and announces, “I think Diane needs a bit of a boost – where is the e-mail from the Western Post? I’m accepting the job.”
 |
| "Make sure you delete the e-mail afterwards" |
Kath warns her to delete the e-mail afterwards.
When Dai comes over, he is advised by Kath to keep an eye on his wife; “Or who knows who she’ll go home with.”
Dai insists, “My wife doesn’t mess around with anyone –
 |
| "Your lodger messes around with every Tom, Dick and Harry!" |
“unlike your lodger, who messes around with every Tom, Dick and Harry! I can say what I want – I’m allowed an opinion –
 |
| "I bet I'm speaking for the whole pub!" |
“and I bet I’m speaking for the whole pub, too!”
 |
| Kath regards this as offensive . . . |
Kath is offended by this
 |
| . . . and storms out of the Deri |
and immediately leaves.
 |
| Mark makes a bacon sandwich |
At Maes-y-Deri, Mark is making a bacon sandwich for himself, but Tyler does not want one;
 |
| "I'm worried it will make you a target" |
“Listen, I’m worried that having me here will make you a target,” he says, “Someone needlessly attacked Mathew – who knows what will happen once more people find out I’m on the Sex Offenders’ Register?”
 |
| "Knock some sense into Tyler, Mam!" |
When Kath returns home, Mark wants her to knock some sense into Tyler; “He’s worried people will target the house,” and Tyler warns that if they attack him, it could make them a target as well.
 |
| "You're like one of the family, Tyler" |
“Listen, you’ve been punished – we should look out for each other now,” she tells him, “You’re like one of the family, Tyler, and the Joneses don’t turn their back on family, do they? So you’re not going anywhere –
 |
| "Nobody round here is going to cross Kath Jones!" |
“nobody round here is going to cross Kath Jones!”
Tyler retires upstairs for a while,
 |
| "I hadn't realised we could be targets too" |
and Mark mutters to his mother, “I hadn’t realised that we could be targets too,”
 |
| She tells him not to worry about that |
but she is confident that will not happen.
