| Dani has some donations already |
Dani’s new children’s clothes idea seems to have got off to a flying start, and she is emptying a large bag when Wilko walks in.
 |
| "So this is the new business" |
“So this is the new business, is it?” he asks, as she unzips another bag.
“I’ve spoken to loads of mothers and I’ve had an amazing response,” Dani tells him, but he casts aspersions on the idea,
 |
| "How do you know they're not full of nits?" |
wondering how she knows that the garments are not full of nits. “They’re fine,” she insists, “And if they’re not, I’ll just fix them.”
 |
| "Rather small for you, aren't they?" |
Tyler comes in and sarcastically comments that the clothes are rather small for Dani; he is surprised that she has so many donations since last night.
 |
| "I am a social influencer" |
“You sound shocked, Tyler – I am a social influencer!” she emphasises.
 |
| "Do you fancy going out for a meal?" |
Wilko informs her that he is not working a late shift tonight, and asks if she fancies going for a meal; “Somewhere nice – just you and me.”
 |
| "I'm busy – we could have a takeaway" |
She replies that she has loads to do and suggests a takeaway instead, which Tyler thinks sounds nice.
 |
| "See you later, Dani" |
The DI will see her later, and Tyler is looking rather suspicious of him.
 |
| "Are you going to tell her that you know?" |
At Bryntirion, Jason enquires, “Are you going to tell her that you know?” As she puts on her boots, Kelly answers that she is not, so he continues, “Does this mean you’re going to have to call Griffiths ‘Uncle Ieu’? Isn’t it easier just to tell her that you know?”
 |
| "And spoil my fun?" |
“And spoil my fun? I won’t give her the satisfaction!” Kelly exclaims, but he asks her to do him a favour –
 |
| "Please try to keep me out of this. Kelly" |
to try to keep him out of it.
 |
| "Oh – whatever!" |
“Oh – whatever!” she says.
 |
| Wilko is looking at – not the CCTV . . . |
Wilko is avidly studying the laptop, but is not watching the CCTV for once;
 |
| . . . but a report on Sheryl's murder . . . |
instead he is looking up the articles about Sheryl’s killing on the Western Post online.
 |
| . . . then he returns to the CCTV |
Only then does he return to what is going on next door; Dani is telling Tyler to put the clothes in piles of different ages and whether they are for girls or boys.
 |
| We have not seen, or heard, that piano before |
At Llwyncelyn, Lois is playing a few notes on the piano, which we have not seen before;
 |
| "I can't remember the last time I heard you play" |
“I can’t remember the last time I heard you play the piano,” says Colin,
 |
| "Izzy was the musical one" |
and she replies that Izzy was the musical one, as it came naturally to her.
Colin says that both of them are musical,
 |
| "You inherited that from your mother" |
and they inherited that from their mother; she plays a few notes, and he recalls singing that to her before she went to bed. “The school in Thailand said that Izzy formed a choir there and taught them that,” she informs him,
 |
| "I watched them doing concerts" |
“I watched videos of them doing concerts.”
“She always had the knack of bringing people together,” her father sighs, and Lois misses her so much.
 |
| "Perhaps we could do something similar" |
“Perhaps we could do something similar round here – something that would bring more people together, just like Izzy’s choir did.
 |
| "I've got a voice like a goat!" |
“It’s a nice idea, Dad, but I’ve got a voice like a goat!” Lois groans, so he suggests that she could accompany them on the piano, but she protests that she is not musical, although a few people in the village would be up for it.
 |
| "What about a male voice choir?" |
“What about a male voice choir? Good heavens – that’s an idea!” he gasps as he goes to get a pencil and paper, proposing that she makes a start on the posters.
 |
| "I have to go and see someone, Dad" |
She explains that she has to go and see someone and she anxiously goes out of the front door.
 |
| Megan has a bone to pick with Dani |
As Dani is unlocking at ‘Chi a’r Ci’, Megan comes hurrying over; “Dani, have you got a second, please? I’ve just seen your story on Instagram.”
 |
| "You're on Instagram, Megan?" |
Dani is amazed that she is on Instagram, and is informed that Megan is on all the platforms; “Snapchat, Tik Tok –
 |
| "Engagement, they call it" |
“engagement, they call it. On Instagram I saw that you intend to open a secondhand clothes shop. I don’t want you to think that I’m throwing my weight around . . .”
 |
| "But on this occasion, you're going to!" |
“But on this occasion, you’re going to!” Dani interrupts, “Listen, Megan – I can open whatever kind of shop I want!”
 |
| "Remember Apêl Maenan is a charity" |
She is reminded that Apêl Maenan is a charity and they depend on people’s goodwill to support the community.
“I just feel that your shop would complicate matters –
 |
| "Don't want to see your good name dragged through the mud" |
“the last thing we want to see is your good name dragged through the mud online,” says Megan, with a hint of menace.
 |
| "And who would do that?" |
Dani wonders why anyone would do that. “I don’t know – but I do know that it can happen quite often –
 |
| "One bad comment . . ." |
“one bad comment could mean your business folding,” Megan warns.
 |
| "What do you want? Cash?" |
“OK, I see what’s going on – clever!” Dani responds, “What do you want? Cash?” Megan appears offended at the mere suggestion, so Dani proposes, “How about if I give all the stock I’ve got left over to the appeal? And a monthly contribution?”
 |
| "I'm glad we've had such a nice chat, Dani" |
Megan says that would be brilliant, and she knows that Apêl Maenan would appreciate it; “I’m glad we’ve had such a nice chat – there’s nothing like it to clear the air every now and again.” So saying, she leaves the shop with a triumphant expression.
 |
| Lois arrives for her appointment |
With some trepidation, Lois enters an office and is asked to sit down;
 |
| "You have Long QT Syndrome" |
“Right, you had an ECG test last week – everything is all right, but the results confirm that you have Long QT Syndrome – do you understand what that means?”
 |
| Lois is worried now |
Lois looks very concerned.
 |
| Griffiths cannot stop thinking about Anita |
At APD, Anita is idly looking through a magazine when she receives a message alert; it is from Griffiths, who apparently cannot stop thinking about her.
 |
| Kelly looks pleased with herself |
At the same time, Kelly comes in through the door, with a smile on her face,
 |
| "Jason's gone to price a job" |
and is told that Jason has gone to price a job.
“I came to see you, actually,” says Kelly, “I’m still trying to solve the mystery of the sock! It’s too small to be Jason’s – it looks like something that would fit a ‘half-pint’.
 |
| "Ring any bells, Auntie Anita?" |
“Ring any bells, Auntie Anita?”
 |
| Anita pleads total ignorance |
Anita replies that she has no idea; “That’s very odd, because I’m sure I heard someone coming into the house late last night,” Kelly continues, and Anita explains that it was her.
 |
| "One of them was a man's voice" |
“No, I heard two voices – and I’m sure one of them was a man’s voice.”
 |
| "Well, you must have been dreaming" |
Anita protests that she must have been dreaming, as she was the only one who came back last night.
 |
| "All right – keep your socks on!" |
“All right – keep your socks on!” laughs Kelly,
 |
| "If you have nothing important to say . . ." |
and her aunt tells her that if she has nothing important to say, she should go. She has work to do.
 |
| "See you later, Auntie Neet" |
Kelly will see her later, and leaves APD smiling even more,
 |
| Anita grimaces |
but Anita appears furious.
 |
| "You'll need to start a course of beta blockers" |
Lois is told, “The first thing I’m going to do is refer you to a cardiologist to discuss it, and you’ll need to start a course of beta blockers.”
 |
| "What do they do?" |
Lois asks what they do, and it is explained that they control an irregular heartbeat and slow down the heartbeat in general.
“How will the condition affect me?” Lois asks,
 |
| "It should not affect you from now on" |
and hears that, as she has not had any problems in the past, they should not affect her from now on, as long as she takes the tablets.
 |
| "My sister died of the condition" |
“Well, my sister died from the condition – but she didn’t know she had it,” Lois explains, and is assured that she did the right thing by having the test.
 |
| The doctor is very optimistic . . . |
“I know it’s a lot to take in – but you’ll be fine,” is the doctor’s prognosis,
 |
| . . . and Lois leaves |
and Lois leaves the office.
 |
| Siôn is fretting over those photos . . . |
Siôn is looking through the various photos on his phone and becoming increasingly concerned;
 |
| . . . when Tesni comes back |
the door opens and Tesni comes in, rather hesitantly.
 |
| "Where were you last night?" |
“Where were you last night?” he asks, and she says that she stayed at her mother’s, hoping that it is not a problem. “You didn’t think to phone?” he adds,
 |
| "My phone battery had run out" |
but she gives the excuse that it was late and the battery of her phone had run out.
 |
| "Because of all the photos you took" |
“Because of all the photos you took, probably,” he comments,
 |
| "Listen, there's something . . ." |
“Listen, there’s something . . .”
 |
| "I've got some news – I'm pregnant!" |
She stops him there; “Before you say anything, I’ve got some news,” and he is expecting the worst. “I don’t know how to say this . . . but I’m pregnant!”
 |
| "Er. . . say that again" |
Siôn looks at her in disbelief, and asks her to say that again.
 |
| "I did the test this morning!" |
“I’m pregnant – I did the test this morning – say something!”
 |
| "Are you sure?" |
He simply stands, open-mouthed, and finally asks if she is sure.
 |
| "Of course I am – isn't it amazing?" |
“Of course I am – isn’t it amazing?” she enthuses, “After trying and failing, we’re going to have a baby! What were you going to tell me?”
 |
| "It's great news" |
He replies that it was nothing important, and unenthusiastically remarks that it is great news.
 |
| Siôn is absolutely stunned |
Tesni goes upstairs, leaving him looking stunned.
 |
| "Can I have a quick word, Math?" |
Mathew is eating his lunch in the shop flat when Colin comes in for a quick word;
 |
| "I've made a couple of posters" |
“I’ve been thinking – I’ve made a couple of posters – I thought you could put one up in APD.”
 |
| "Male Voice Choir – yes, no problem" |
“Male Voice Choir – yes, no problem,” Mathew answers, and Colin points out that most of his customers are men, so he thought it was the best place.
 |
| "Do you know of anyone who would want to be in it?" |
He also was going to ask Mathew if he knows of anyone who would like to be in the choir, which he is doing in memory of Izzy; “I was thinking of bringing people together – a bit of fun, enjoyment – a bit of singing,” which Mathew regards as really nice
 |
| "Yes – me!" |
“I do know of someone who would like to join – me,” he replies, and Colin says that it would be great if he were part of this. Mathew wonders what other names are on the list;
 |
| "That's two of us, then" |
so far it appears that only Colin and Mathew are there,
 |
| "We can sing a duet, Col" |
so it is predicted they will sing a duet, although Colin is confident they will get more singers.
 |
| Tesni comes downstairs |
Siôn is sitting, pondering over the photos when Tesni comes back downstairs, carrying a bag; he wonders where she is going. “Cardiff,” she replies, “For a week – I told you.”
 |
| "I don't remember you saying that" |
He cannot remember her saying that, and she continues, “I said I was staying with friends who are in college – you don’t know them.”
When he wonders if that is wise,
 |
| "I'm only a few weeks pregnant" |
she answers that she is only a few weeks pregnant;
 |
| "My last chance to have some fun" |
“And anyway, it might be my last chance to have some fun.” With that she walks out of the house,
 |
| Now Siôn feels even worse |
leaving Siôn very troubled indeed.
 |
| Lois looks at her tablets |
Outside the medical centre, Lois looks at the tablets she has been prescribed,
 |
| Mathew is putting the rubbish out . . . |
and as she walks along the back street, encounters Mathew,
 |
| . . . and welcomes Lois home |
who is pleased to see her. “Thailand’s OK –
 |
| They don't make chips the way they do here!" |
“but they don’t make chips the way they do here,” she says.
 |
| "I'm sorry for the way things were" |
He apologises for the way things were after Izzy died, and she appreciates that it was not an easy time for any of them.
He asks if this is just a flying visit or whether she will be staying; she does not have any plans at the moment, but will have to think of something.
 |
| "Living costs are cheaper in Thailand" |
“The chips may be better, but the living costs are cheaper in Thailand.”
 |
| "Your Mam was not too keen then Izzy worked here" |
If she is looking for work he can offer her a job in APD, although he warns, “When Izzy worked there, your Mam was not too keen!” Lois replies that it is lucky her mother is not the one looking for a job, in that case.
“I’m looking for someone to clear up in APD, sort the stock, do some admin – it’s not much, but it pays. Can you start tomorrow morning?” he asks, and she says that she will be there.
 |
| "You haven't seen the mess Eifion and Jason can make" |
“Don’t thank me yet – you haven’t seen the mess Eifion and Jason can make!” he adds.
 |
| Siôn is engrossed in the laptop |
A stern-faced Siôn is looking at his laptop,
 |
| He does not know what to do . . . |
but is preoccupied with this situation concerning Tesni;
 |
| . . . and cannot resist looking again at the photos |
once again he reviews the photos, which are captioned, ‘Arrived in the Diff. Time to enjoy myself.’
 |
| Failure rates of Vasectomies |
Then he returns to the laptop screen, displaying the page of the NHS website dealing with ‘Failure Rates of Vasectomies.’ He abruptly closes the laptop and is in a state of panic.
 |
| "We're celebrating, Kelly!" |
Jason comes rushing into Bryntirion, demanding, “Where are those posh glasses? We’re celebrating!” He has a bottle in his hand, and is followed through the door by Anita.
“So, you know all the old peoples homes council run? Well, they’ve asked APD . . .”
 |
| "To build some more!" |
Kelly interrupts, “To build some more – Jason, that’s amazing!”
 |
| "We're putting new toilets in all of them" |
He says that it is not quite like that, but APD is going to be responsible for putting toilets in all of the old peoples homes, which she does not find very exciting.
“You don’t understand, Kelly – it’s more than OK – it’s huge,
 |
| "And it's all thanks to Auntie Neet here" |
“and it’s all thanks to Auntie Neet!” he exclaims,
 |
| "All I did was to fill in the form" |
although she maintains that all she did was to fill in the form.
 |
| Now Kelly is more excited |
“We’ve been trying to land a contract like this for years!” Jason goes on, “So whatever Anita did – it did the trick.”
 |
| Jason opens the bottle |
He sets about opening the champagne bottle.
 |
| Dani is envious of Megan |
“Did you know Megan’s on Tik Tok?” Dani angrily asks Tyler, “And Instagram – and she’s got more followers than me!”
 |
| "I think I put my foot in it with Hywel" |
In comes Wilko again, admitting that he thinks he has put his foot in it with Hywel.
“I saw him earlier and mentioned your plans with the salon –
 |
| "He thinks you're disrespecting Sheryl" |
“he didn’t seem very happy – he thinks that perhaps you are disrespecting Sheryl.”
 |
| "I'm not disrespectful" |
She protests that she is not disrespectful, but Wilko thinks that he might go to the council to try to stop it.
Dani will speak to Hywel and is sure that it will be fine, but the DI continues his denigration;
 |
| He tries to put her off the idea . . . |
“To be honest with you, I don’t think it’s a good idea. If it’s successful – and knowing you it will be – it will attract a lot of attention.
 |
| . . . bringing Dylan and Daf into the argument |
“And not the kind of attention you want either if you’re on social media. We don’t know how far Dylan’s and Daf’s connections go.”
 |
| "So they could still come after me?" |
Dani is worried that they could still come after her, and he reminds her that the person who attacked Tyler is still out there.
 |
| "Isn't that a bit far-fetched?" |
Tyler regards that as rather far-fetched;
 |
| "I just deel we should reconsider" |
“I just feel we should reconsider, that’s all,” says Wilko.
