| Something is disturbing Kelly |
Kelly does not look at all happy as she walks into the café from the kitchen; “I know you’re head over heels in love with Rhys,
 |
| "I don't pay you to flirt with your boyfriend!" |
but I pay you to work, not to flirt with your boyfriend,” she tells Luned. Colin finds this rather surprising, as Kelly continues in the same vein, “Next time he pops in for a chat, give it a rest.”
 |
| "I was on my break, Kelly" |
Luned apologises, pointing out that she was on her break, but this does not pacify Kelly; “Slobbering over each other like lovesick teenagers!” Luned assures her that it will not happen again,
 |
| "You're rather snappy this morning" |
and remarks that Kelly is rather snappy this morning.
She is adamant that nothing is wrong, but eventually confesses, as she takes a letter from her pocket, “This is what has happened.”
 |
| Kelly has an anonymous letter |
As Colin is listening with interest, she reads the contents of the letter, “Dear Kelly, I’m a woman in my mid-60s and I have an irresponsible niece who wants to give her baby away, but she won’t take my advice.”
 |
| "Do you think it was Anita?" |
Luned wonders who write something like that, suspecting, “Do you think it was Anita?” Kelly maintains that is what the writer wants her to think, exactly like Sara’s letter.
 |
| "Do you have any idea, Kelly?" |
Colin interrupts to ask if she has any idea who it is, and Kelly replies, “It’s obviously someone who knows me – in fact it could be someone who is in the café right now!”
 |
| Colin takes this as an accusatory look |
as she looks reproachfully at Colin, then at Mark, who is outside, cleaning the windows.
 |
| "I hope you don't suspect me" |
“I hope you don’t suspect me,” exclaims Colin, and she answers that of course she does not, but has been racking her brain all night. He advises, “Come on, now – the truth will come out in the end.
 |
| "Chill?" |
“Until then, don’t worry, just chill.”
 |
| "There were days when I used that much mousse!" |
As he comes out of the café, Colin comments about Mark’s hair; “There were days when I used that much mousse!” he smiles.
 |
| "You should see his Tinder profile!" |
Tyler, his window-cleaning partner, remarks that Colin ought to see Mark’s Tinder profile; “If I wasn’t with Aled . . .” Mark tells him to shut up, and Colin realises that Tinder is the ‘dating thing’.
 |
| "That's why he's trying to impress the ladies!" |
“That’s why he’s trying to impress the ladies!” Colin laughs,
 |
| "Pity you're already married, Dani" |
and announces to Dani, “Mark’s looking for a woman – pity you’re already married!”
 |
| "Just so you know Garry's left me" |
Dani, apparently quite untroubled, informs them, “Well, just so you know, Garry, my husband, has left me – yeah!” and walks off towards the Deri.
 |
| Tyler goes after her |
Tyler is shocked by this revelation and chases after her.
 |
| "I didn't know that, Mark" |
Colin tells Mark that he did not know about this situation.
 |
| "Yes, it's true" |
Up in the Deri flat, Dani confirms that it is true, and Tyler asks what happened,
 |
| "Quarrelled again, have you?" |
assuming that they have quarrelled again, or that he is seeing someone else.
 |
| "Who knows with Garry?" |
“Who knows with Garry?” she answers, and Tyler is angry that Garry walked out.
 |
| "Exactly like you did to Iolo" |
She reminds him that is exactly the same as he treated Iolo, and he wonders if she knows where Garry is; “No – and I don’t want to know,” she says.
 |
| "I'm better off without him" |
He points out that Garry may come back, but she makes it quite clear, “I don’t want him back here – I’m better off without him. Was there anything else, Tyler? I won’t need to chat to you because I have to concentrate on this place now – and the children. See you!”
 |
| Tyler leaves the flat |
Tyler takes the hint and leaves the flat.
 |
| Luned and Rhys are chatting |
Luned meets Rhys in the alley;
 |
| "We have to stop flirting in front of the customers" |
“Kelly said we have to stop flirting in front of the customers,” she tells him, but he points out they are not in the café now.
 |
| They are seen by Ffion |
Ffion passes the end of the alley, and quickly walks away when she sees them.
 |
| "I feel like an idiot" |
 |
| Mark is ready to cancel the whole thing |
“That’s it – I’m cancelling! I haven’t psyched myself up yet – I wasn’t expecting to go on a date today.”
 |
| "We've got plenty of time to practise" |
Tyler assures him that they have plenty of time to practise, but Mark says that her name is Meinir, and that does not help matters;
 |
| "I used to go out with a girl called Meinir" |
“I used to go out with a girl called Meinir – perhaps it’s a bad omen.”
Tyler will pretend that he is Meinir; “Come on, you just need to be yourself,” he says.
 |
| Sausage Bap £3.80 |
Luned puts the advertising sign on the pavement, and Kelly remarks that it looks great;
 |
| "Sorry for snapping earlier" |
“Sorry, all right? Sorry for snapping earlier.” Luned appreciates that it is stressing her out,
 |
| "You will find out in the end" |
but emphasises that what Colin said is true – she will find out in the end.
 |
| "Can I work for an hour or two, Kelly?" |
Anita approaches, asking if she can work for an hour or two;
 |
| "It depends if you can behave yourself" |
“Well, it depends if you can behave yourself,” is Kelly’s answer.
 |
| "It was a misunderstanding yesterday" |
Anita tries to explain away yesterday as being a misunderstanding.
 |
| "Seeing the café is gossip central . . ." |
Then Dani comes along the street from the other direction; “Listen, seeing the café is gossip central, I might as well tell you myself.
 |
| ". . . Garry's left me" |
“Garry’s left me – I don’t know where he’s gone or whether he’s coming back. That’s the truth, in case you hear anything else.”
 |
| This comes as a shock |
 |
| "It must be bad if Garry's left the village" |
Anita thinks that it must be bad if Garry has left the village.
 |
| "Ooh, Mark, you're hilarious!" |
At Maes-y-Deri, Tyler is speaking in a high-pitched, girly voice, “Oh my God, Mark, you’re hilarious! I’ve had an amazing time.” Mark regards this as a waste of time,
 |
| "Perhaps we can meet up again?" |
but Tyler continues, “Perhaps we can meet up again? Somewhere a bit more private next time.”
 |
| "It's a bit late in the day for you to 'come out'!" |
Kath has just come in through the back door and, hearing this, scathingly remarks, “It’s a bit late in the day for you to ‘come out’, isn’t it, Mark?”
“It’s never too late, is it, love?” Tyler goes on,
 |
| "We're practising for my date" |
and Mark explains that they are practising for his date.
 |
| "I must get air freshener for the toilet |
Kath realises that is what the smell is, and will have to get air freshener for the toilet.
Tyler advises Mark, “Remember what I said and you’ll be great.”
 |
| "I hope she has a peg for her nose!" |
Kath hopes that whoever she is, she will have a peg for her nose. Mark walks out of the house in disgust.
 |
| Ffion is about to put out the rubbish . . . |
As Ffion is putting rubbish into a sack the buzzer sounds;
 |
| . . . when Rhys arrives |
it is Rhys, who would like to speak to her. She hurriedly brushes her hair; when he comes in,
 |
| "Your shadow not with you, then?" |
she comments, “Your shadow not with you, then?”
 |
| "How are you – and Arwen?" |
He ignores this and asks how Ffion is – and Arwen; “I don’t think you’ve come here to ask how we are,” she says, and he apologises that she should not have seen him and Luned flirting.
 |
| "There we go, she is a child" |
“Yes, it was a bit childish – but there we go, she is a child,” is Ffion’s evaluation.
 |
| "We've laughed a lot in this flat . . ." |
He recalls that they have laughed a lot in this flat,
 |
| ". . . but now I'm with Luned – and I'm happy" |
but stresses that he is with Luned now and is happy.
 |
| "I'm supposed to say I'm pleased for you" |
“And now I’m supposed to say that I’m pleased for you,” assumes Ffion, so Rhys thinks he had better go.
 |
| The sound of glass bottles in the bag . . . |
She thanks him for apologising, then picks up the bag of rubbish, with the glass bottles inside clinking.
 |
| . . . rouse Rhys' suspcions |
This concerns Rhys, so he turns and demands,
 |
| "Are you drinking again, Ffi?" |
“Are you drinking again? Ffi, answer me!”
 |
| Mark is a bag of nerves |
In the Deri, Mark is very nervous, and is advised by Cassie, “Relax – if you don’t impress her, then it’s her loss. Is this her?” He anxiously confirms that it is.
 |
| "Mark, is it?" |
Meinir enquires, “Mark?”
 |
| "Yes, at your service" |
and he salutes, assuring her that he is at her service; “Can I have half of shandy?” she says,
 |
| "You smell nice – it's my favourite" |
“You smell nice – it’s my favourite.”
 |
| "I'll bring the drinks over, Mark" |
Cassie tells them to sit down and she will bring the drinks over.
 |
| "How many times? I'm not drinking!" |
At Cysgod y Glyn, Ffion is furious; “How many times? I’m not drinking – and what’s it to you?”
 |
| "Open the bag, then" |
Obviously not believing her, Rhys demands that she opens the bag. “Why should I?” she replies, and he says that he is worried about her.
 |
| "You don't have to be worried about me!" |
“You don’t have to be!” Ffion snarls, and throws the bag down at his feet.
 |
| "Oh – pop bottles" |
“Well, sorry for worrying,” he mutters, and as he leaves, she shouts after him that she does not need him worrying about her.
 |
| Mark is finding this difficult |
In the Deri the small talk seems rather lacking between Mark and his date; “The place is nice – and the company is even better,” Meinir tells him,
 |
| "It's my nerves" |
and he confesses that his nerves got the better of him. “There’s no need to be nervous,” she tells him,
 |
| "You know if a date will work out in the first ten minutes" |
“They say you know if a date will work out in the first ten minutes.”
He optimistically answers that he does not think he will need ten minutes;
 |
| Cassie is keeping an eye on proceedings |
Cassie is hovering nearby, keeping an eye on him. Meinir says that she is a midwife and asks what it is like being a postman. “Delivering babies is more exciting than delivering post,” he comments.
 |
| "What about the uniform?" |
“What about the uniform?” she goes on, “Are you allowed to bring it home, or do you leave it at the Depot? Between you and me, I’ve got my uniform in my bag – if you’re a good boy, I’ll wear it for you later, and you can wear yours.”
 |
| This becoming somewhat disturbing |
Mark is understandably feeling rather uncomfortable by this time, as she takes her leave to visit the ladies’.
 |
| "She's into uniforms, Cassie" |
Cassie tells him that it looks as if it is going well, but he says, “It was – she’s into uniforms!” and Cassie remarks that it is always the quiet ones, and advises Mark to tell her to go home.
 |
| Mark does not manage to reach the door |
Meinir returns just as he is about to escape.
 |
| "My last two dates did a runner" |
“What’s wrong with me? My last date did a runner – and the one before that,” she complains, “I thought you were different.”
 |
| "I'm just stretching my legs" |
He makes the excuse that he was just stretching his legs as he had cramp.
 |
| "You must know something, Colin" |
At the shop, Anita is trying to get information out of Colin; “You must know something – he’s your brother-in-law.”
 |
| "I'm the last one to know anything" |
Colin maintains that he is the last one to know anything in that family.
“Do you think he’s having an affair?” she continues, but he imagines that they have argued, and Garry will be back tonight.
 |
| "I'm sure Britt must be upset" |
Anita is sure that Britt must be upset, and Colin tells her to give Kelly his regards;
 |
| "Kelly said she got another letter last night" |
“Those letters – she said she got another one last night,” he adds, as Ffion is standing, listening, in the shop doorway.
 |
| Ffion is developing her own theory |
Anita confirms that Kelly is terribly worried about them and demands why someone would do that; “If someone’s got a problem with Kelly, they should tell her.” Ffion looks across in their direction as Colin says he cannot imagine what is going through their minds.
 |
| "Britt was very ill when she sent those letters" |
Anita suddenly remembers a previous similar episode, but he points out, “Britt was very ill when she sent Sara those letters, just remember that.” Having heard all this, Ffion walks away,
 |
| "The truth always comes out in the end" |
and Colin is sure that, as he told Kelly earlier, the truth will always come out in the end.
 |
| "Is it warm in here, or is it me?" |
Mark is still very nervous; he asks, “Is it warm in here, or is it me?”
 |
| "You'll be even warmer in uniform" |
Meinir informs him that he will be even warmer in uniform. Attempting to change the subject, he asks, “What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies – like knitting or flower arranging?”
 |
| "I think you know what my hobby is" |
“I think you know what my hobby is,” she replies, “If you’re not keen on your own uniform, I have a wide range at home – you’re welcome to have a look.”
 |
| Cassie thinks some intervention is needed |
Cassie can sense his apprehension, and comes to the rescue; “Mark, love, sorry, I’ve just finished my shift – we can go home now and have some peace and quiet.”
 |
| "Love? Peace and quiet?" |
Meinir looks very offended,
 |
| "Oh, Mark, bad boy – smacky bot!" |
and Cassie goes on, “You didn’t think he was single? Oh, Mark, I’ve told you before! Bad boy – smacky bot!”
 |
| Mark is initially taken aback |
This has the desired effect, and Meinir exclaims, “You’re welcome to him – I don’t fancy him anyway!”
 |
| "Don't forget to take your uniform with you" |
As she storms out of the Deri, she is reminded to take her uniform with her.
 |
| "It did the trick, didn't it?" |
“I hope I didn’t go too far,” says Cassie, and Mark is pleased that it did the trick; she suggests that they have a drink.
 |
| Ffion tucks into her sandwich |
Ffion is the only customer in the café, getting stuck into her sandwich, as Anita points out to Kelly that there is an item of post for her.
 |
| "I had another of those letters" |
Kelly presumes that it is junk, and confesses that she had another of those letters.
Anita says that she did not know;
 |
| She describes it to Auntie Anita |
“I didn’t want you to worry,” Kelly replies, but then informs her, with Ffion listening nearby once again, “It was from this woman who said her niece had given her baby away and how much that hurt her. She’s obviously someone who knows me really well, and knows personal stuff about me, like.”
 |
| "You're not saying that I'm behind this, are you?" |
“You’re not saying that I’m behind all this, are you?” Anita demands, and Kelly denies this; “But it has crossed your mind?” Anita adds, “I can see it in your eyes.”
 |
| "I'm looking at every possibility" |
Kelly stresses that she is imagining things, and that she is merely looking at every possibility.
 |
| Ffion is coming to her own conclusions |
At the table, Ffion is looking rather suspicious, as Anita insists, “You’re like my daughter – no, you are my daughter. I’d never do anything like that to scare you.”
 |
| "No, I don't suspect you, OK?" |
“Auntie Neet, I don’t suspect you, OK? I know you’d do anything for me,” Kelly consoles her, “What am I going to do with you?”
 |
| However, someone else certainly does |
Ffion turns and looks at Anita.
 |
| "Did you suffocate her with your aftershave?" |
Mark returns home, and his mother comments, “You’re home early – did you suffocate her with your aftershave?” Tyler remarks that everybody has a few disasters, and he should not lose confidence.
 |
| "She was weird" |
“No, I’m not going to see that Meinir again – she was weird. And I haven’t lost confidence –
 |
| Mark appears to be planning something . . . |
“I’m just looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen. As he goes upstairs, Kath thinks that sounds interesting.
 |
| . . . something involving Cassie? |
Behind the bar in the Deri, Cassie is speaking on the phone; “I can’t do that,” she says, but then Dani comes downstairs, so she abruptly ends the call, explaining that it was Mai.
“I’m going to fetch Seren, Dani tells her,
 |
| "If I can help in any way, Dani" |
 |
| "What I needed was for you to be honest with me" |
Dani spells it out, “What I needed, Cassie, was for you to be honest with me. But you decided not to be, so it’s a bit late now to try and make up for things.”
 |
| "It was not my place to say" |
Cassie explains that it was not her place to say; “No, you’re right,” muses Dani, “It was Garry’s place, but he didn’t,
 |
| "So I had to find out from Dylan Evans" |
“so I had to find out from Dylan Evans [whose surname has previously been given as Ellis on 11 June 2020]. Who would have thought that he would be the only one with enough guts to tell me?”
 |
| "That Dylan can't be trusted" |
Cassie is of the opinion that Dylan cannot be trusted,
 |
| "He's more of a friend than you'll ever be!" |
but Dani growls, “He’s more of a friend to me than you will ever be!”
