"Find someone else, will you?"

Iolo is on the phone to one of his customers, apologising that he cannot do a job;  “Yes, I know it’s an urgent job – oh, find someone else, will you?” he growls.   

"You can't just come creeping in here!"

Then he turns round to find that Tyler is standing there;  “You can’t just come creeping in here,” he says, “It’s one of those days.”

Tyler knows him better than that, and enquires if he has heard from the hospital;  

"There's obviously something wrong"

“There’s obviously something bothering you.”

After a pause, Iolo admits, “I’ve found some sort of discharge from the lump, and I’ve googled it.   

"It's serious and I don't know what to do"

“It’s serious and I don’t know what to do.”

Ffion is upset by what Rhys said

Outside the shop, Ffion informs Mathew, “I haven’t been sleeping well.”   This situation has apparently been caused by Rhys, who just happens to be coming out of the shop.   

"Hard work and complicated, am I"

“You think I’m hard work and complicated, do you?” she demands, “Luned told me.   How would you feel if I said those things about you?”

"Luned's simply stirring"

He replies that Luned is simply stirring because she’s been hurt;  “You know what they say about a woman scorned.”   Ffion walks away in disgust, 

"You've caused enough trouble, Rhys"

and Mathew stops him going after her, pointing out that he has caused enough trouble recently.

"Have you forgotten about Sioned?"

“Have you forgotten about Sioned?   How she is?” he asks, 

"That was just a one-night-stand"

but Rhys regards it as a one-night-stand and nothing more;  Mathew cannot believe that he is serious, 

"And Sioned hates me now"

and has been unable to check how she is himself because she hates him.

"That's Sioned – she's hardhearted"

“That’s Sioned – she’s hardhearted,” Rhys sneers, “I’ve got the afternoon off – do you fancy a couple of pints in the Deri at lunchtime?”   

"I'm going to Penrhewl"

Mathew makes it clear that he does not want to, but will be going to Penrhewl, as someone needs to support Sioned.

"She's up and down – as you would expect"

When he gets there, he is told by Eileen that Sioned is up and down, as he can imagine.   

"Mathew – you've got a nerve!"

Sioned comes in, protesting that her hair straighteners have stopped working, and is astonished to see Mathew there.   “You’ve got a nerve!” she snarls.   Her mother points out that he came to see how she was.

"I took the suits and everything back"

He tells her that he took the suits and everything else back, 

"Whoopy flippin' doo!"

and she comments, “Whoopy flippin’ doo!   The suits were nothing to do with me – DJ and the boys ordered them.”   Mathew also wanted to say that he is sorry, 

"I should have told you about Non"

admitting that he should have told her about Non.

"Do you know what really hurts, Math?"

“Do you know what really hurts, Math?” she says, “I was so happy when DJ chose you as his best man – because I would have chosen you – you were a good friend to both of us.   

"You helped him to have an affair!"

“But I was wrong – you clearly think more of DJ – you helped him to have an affair!”

"I did try to stop them"

He protests that he tried to stop them, but she insists that he should have told her, and that he made his choice;  “You chose to say nothing – you chose DJ, so what are you doing here?”

"I'll do anything to make it up to you"

Mathew pleads that he will do anything to make it up to her, 

"Don't come near me ever again!"

so she instructs him, “Get out of my sight, and don’t come near me ever again!”   

Mathew dejectedly leaves

He sadly leaves the farmhouse.

Mark is cutting his toenails

When Kath returns home, she is disgusted to find Mark cutting his toenails;  “Do you have to?” she demands.   

"I thought you were working in the shop all day"

He thought she was working in the shop all day, but Colin changed the plans, so she intends to sit there and finish watching the series on Netflix.   “So shift off that sofa, will you?”

"I've walked 22,000 steps today"

“I’ve walked 22,000 steps today, all right, with a nail digging into my little toe,” he complains, 

"Ah, diddums!   Do you want a medal?"

and she wonders whether he wants a medal.   “No, I want to sit on the sofa and put my feet up,” he angrily replies.   

"You're welcome to watch 'Toddlers and Tiaras"

She says he is welcome to sit with her and watch ‘Toddlers and Tiaras’.   He moans, “Haven’t you got another date or something?”

"I'm not wasting my time with that again"

She glumly tells him she is not going to waste her time with that again;  “But wasting your time on ‘Toddlers and Tantrums’ or whatever is fine?” Mark queries.

"Go and rest those little feet!"

“If you’re going to be like that, just go upstairs!” she rages, and he cannot believe he is being thrown out of the lounge;  “Go and rest those little feet,” she continues.   

"That's just the way you behave!"

He is not surprised that she is a fan of that programme, as it is just the way she behaves.

"Why haven't you phoned the doctor, Iol?"

Tyler looks on the laptop;  “Why haven’t you phoned the doctor?” he asks Iolo, 

"I want some time to accept it first"

who wants some time to accept it first.   “No – it needs to be treated now – it says the sooner the better!” he is told, but insists he will do it in his own time, and is going to have a shower first.

"I'm sure you've got plenty to do today"

“I’m sure you’ve got plenty to do today, starting with taking that bag to Greta,” Iolo points out, 

"I'll contact you later"

“I’ll contact you later,” as he goes up the stairs.   

Tyler is about to leave . . .

Tyler picks up the bag, and is about to go out of the door, when he changes his mind 

. . . but rings for an urgent appointment

and instead phones the doctor, wanting to make an appointment about an urgent matter.

"It's all soaking now!"

Sioned has had to bring in the washing, and complains that they were not expecting showers;  “It’s all soaking now!”   Eileen will deal with it later, but Sioned says she has enough on her plate;  

"I was supposed to pack for honeymoon today"

“I was supposed to pack for the honeymoon today – it’s not fair, Mam!”   

"Well, we have insurance"

Eileen reminds her that they have insurance, so the money can be put away and will pay for a nice trip somewhere when she feels stronger.

"Or I could go anyway"

“Or I could go anyway – a nice beach, nice food, a massage – that’s exactly what I need,” Sioned concludes, 

"It wouldn't be much of a holiday on your own"

but her mother stresses that it would not be much of a holiday on her own.   

"Why don't you and Huwi-John come as well?"

“Why don’t you and Huwi-John come as well?   Why not?” demands Sioned, “You deserve a break after the year you’ve had – you haven’t had a chance to grieve properly.”

"The farm won't run itself, Sioned"

“The farm won’t run itself – but it means a lot that you’ve thought about me,” her mother says.

Sioned may be able to solve that problem

Sioned is thinking of a solution to the problem.

"She's bitter!"

Mathew takes his pint across to the table where Rhys is sitting;  “How was Sioned?” he asks, and Mathew replies that she is bitter.   

"I hate to think I'm hurting people"

Rhys has been thinking about what he said, and agrees that he may have a point;  “I hate to think that I’m hurting people.   I’m going to make it up to Ffion as well,” he adds, as he sees Ffion has just come in;  

"And what do you want?"

he sidles up to her and she demands what he wants.   

"I sensed that you were  bit low earlier"

“I just sensed that you were a bit low earlier – after what Luned said.   I thought we could go for a run to help clear our heads – and the air.”   

"You're not serious?"

Ffion cannot believe that he is serious, but he goes on, “A little 10k up through the trees – 

"Come over for a coffee or a takeaway, perhaps"

“to be honest, you’re the only one who runs at the same pace as me.   Come over for a coffee, and we can find a new route – or a takeaway, perhaps.”

"I don't think so"

“I don’t think so,” she says, but he complains they have not had a proper chat for ages, and they could put the world to rights.   

"Is that your way of getting me into bed?"

“That sounds like Rhys Llywelyn’s way of getting someone into bed!” she snarls disparagingly, 

"It might make you feel better"

and he suggests that it might make her feel better.

“I can’t believe you sometimes!” Ffion gasps, 

"You turn my stomach!"

“The only time I’d have a takeaway with you would be to see you choke – because you turn my stomach!”

"What's wrong with her?"

As she storms out of the Deri, Rhys wonders what is wrong with her, as he was only joking;  

"Grow up, Rhys!"

Mathew advises him to grow up.

As she heads for home . . .

As Ffion hurries homewards along the back street, she is almost tripped up by Guto, 

. . . she is obstructed by a bicycle

just wheeling his bicycle out of the gate;  “Look where you’re going, will you?” she rages, and then, quickly calming down, 

"It's not you – it's Rhys!"

explains that it is not him;  “It’s Rhys – I don’t know what I saw in him – he’s no better than his father – and I married him!   

She has a lot of work to do

“I’ve got a pile of forms to fill in for Gaynor by tomorrow,” and she continues towards Cysgod y Glyn.

"Would you like another coffee?"

Brynmor is engrossed in his phone, and Cassie asks if he would like another coffee;  

He is having problems with his Spanish app

“It’s this app – it says I’ve translated this wrong.   This Spanish helps to keep the mind sharp – and it’s something to do.   

"I miss the company more than anything"

“I miss the lessons, but the company more than anything.”

"She's in the way, most of the time"

Mark comes in, having escaped from Maes-y-Deri, and Brynmor enquires after Kath;  “Out gallivanting, is she?”   Mark replies that she is in the way, most of the time.   Brynmor imagines that he is not the only one missing the Spanish lessons.

"I may have the answer to your problem"

Cassie thinks that she has an answer to the problem, 

"It's a pint I want, not counselling"

but Mark groans, “It’s a pint I want, not counselling.”   She maintains that the answer to his mother’s bad mood, and her loneliness, is not with this dating thing.   “I don’t know how much more of that I can take,” he complains.

"I know someone else who's lonely"

Cassie goes on, “Well, I know someone else who’s lonely – and they say there’s someone out there for everyone.”   She indicates Brynmor, which surprises Mark.   

"I think they'd make a nice couple"

“I think they’d make a nice couple,” she tells him, “Your mother misses the Spanish lessons, doesn’t she?   What if we organised an exclusive lesson for those two?”   

Mark is warming to the idea

Mark thinks that she might be on to something there.

Sioned arrives in the shop flat

Sioned goes to see Mathew in the shop flat;  “I’m sorry about earlier,” she says, 

"You had every right to say it"

and he appreciates she had every right to say it, apologising once again for letting her down.

"You said you'd do anything to make up for it"

“You said you’d do anything to make up for it,” she goes on, “I want to go on the honeymoon I booked – but obviously I don’t want to go on my own.”   

"And you want some company?"

Mathew imagines that she wants some company, but she destroys his fantasy;  “With Mam and Huwi-John.   

"No, I want you to look after Penrhewl"

“I want you to look after Penrhewl.”

"Me?   I can't run a farm!"

“Me?   I can’t run a farm!” he exclaims, but she will give him full instructions, and considers it only fair after what has happened.   

"Is Greta not with you?"

Tyler arrives at number 7, but is not accompanied by Greta, as expected;  

"She's at Y Felin"

“She’s at Y Felin, and I’ve arrange to pick her up later.”   

"I don't need babysitting, Ty!"

Iolo insists that he does not need babysitting, but at that moment the phone rings.   Iolo is not in the mood for any more work, but is told that it might be the doctor.

“You had no right to phone the doctor!” moans Iolo, and Tyler answers the call;  

"OK, that's great – thank you"

he is advised that an appointment has been made at 10:00 tomorrow.

“You are going to go, aren’t you?” Tyler demands, “The fact they they offered you . . .”   

"Will you just go away?"

Iolo shouts at him to go away, and emphasises that he will not ask him again.   

"I'll be back tomorrow to pick you up"

Tyler complies with this demand, but promises to  be back tomorrow morning to pick him up.

"You're just in time to put the kettle on"

When Sioned returns to the farm, she is told, “You’re just in time to put the kettle on,” 

Mathew follows her in

then Eileen is astonished to see Mathew there as well.   

"He's come to learn how to run the farm"

Sioned announces that he has come to learn how to run the farm, and tells her mother to pack her bags, because they are going away.

"We can't just drop everything"

Eileen protests that they cannot just drop everything, 

"You made sure it was quiet"

but Sioned reminds her, “You made sure it was quiet while I was away – so we’re going, thanks to Mathew!”   

"It's the least I can do, Eileen"

He says that it is the least he can do, and Eileen goes to start packing.   

"I really do appreciate this, Math"

Sioned really does appreciate Mathew doing this.

Guto has forgotten his charger

Guto has visited Cysgod y Glyn again, and is sorry to disturb Ffion, but he left his laptop charger behind;  “I’m not getting anything done anyway,” Ffion groans, and he imagines she is still angry about Rhys.

"I stew and stew over things"

“That’s what I’m like – once something makes me angry, I stew and stew over it.   

"Do you think I'm hard work and complicated?"

“Can I ask you – do you think I’m hard work and complicated?”   

He considers that she is just the opposite, really, and wonders if Rhys said that;  

"I think you're generous and kind"

“I think you’re generous and kind – don’t lose any sleep over it.   I understand, though – I stew over things, that’s why I smoke – you could try it, if you like.”   

"As if!"

She will not entertain the idea, 

He leaves a sample – not a good idea . . .

but he leaves one for her, pointing out that it helps when he is stressed, and there is no pressure.   

. . . and Ffion looks very uncomfortable

She looks fearfully at it.

"Can you pick Seren up tomorrow?"

In the Deri flat, Tyler is playing a computer game, and Dani reminds him, “Can you pick up Seren from ‘Cylch’ [group] tomorrow?   Elinor has a day off.”

"I wouldn't ask unless I was desperate"

Tyler replies that he cannot do that;  “I wouldn’t ask unless I was desperate,” she goes on, 

"The world doesn't revolve around you, Dan!"

but Tyler says he has an appointment, which cannot be postponed;  he growls that the world does not revolve around her.

"Is this something to to with Iolo?"

She suspects that this is something to do with Iolo, and he informs her that he is having the scan tomorrow, with the results in a few days.   

"I don't think it will be good news"

“I don’t think it will be good news,” he says, “I just want him to be OK, Dan – 

"I don't know what I would do if I lost him"

“I still love him – and I don’t know what I would do if I lost him.”
