Anita runs into the path of a car

As a car is approaching, suddenly Anita runs out of the door of number 7, straight across the road, shouting, “Help, please, someone help me!”   A passerby is quick to flag down the car to stop and Colin rushes out of the shop.

"He's trying to attack me!"

“What's wrong, Anita?”   She shouts that there is a man in there who is trying to attack her and she does not know who he is, urging Colin to phone the police.

"You're safe now, Anita"

He assures her that she is safe now, takes off his cardigan and puts it on her, as all she is wearing is her nightie.   “I don’t know him!” she screams, so Colin is about to shepherd her to safety.

Ieuan emerges from number 7

Ieuan emerges from the door of number 7 in a panic and when she sees him, 

"There he is – do something, please!"

Anita continues shouting, “There he is – do something, please!   That’s the man!”

Colin signals to Ieuan not to come any further, 

She is led over to the deli

then leads Anita across the road to the deli, 

Ieuan looks perplexed . . .

while Ieuan looks totally perplexed 

. . . and retires into the house 

and goes back inside the house.

"I have to pop out to Carmarthen"

In the shop flat, Siôn is preparing breakfast, but Britt says that she does not want any, as she has to pop out to Carmarthen, to get a couple of things for the Beaujolais evening.

“Listen, Siôn, I don’t like the fact that we can’t discuss what happened,” she says, 

"I have forgiven you"

but he repeats that he has forgiven her and would like to move on.   

"But what I did wasn't right"

“But what I did wasn’t right,” she goes on.

"I appreciate that you were honest"

Siôn appreciates the fact that she was honest, 

"Everyone does stupid things sometimes"

maintaining that everyone does stupid things sometimes;  “I have – but we’re stronger than to let something like that ruin things, aren’t we?”

Siôn will see her tonight . . . 

He tells her to enjoy today and he will see her tonight.   She thanks him and kisses him.   

. . . and off she goes

By the look on Siôn’s face, there is more to it than that.

Mark finds no-one behind the counter

Mark is in the shop, selecting a few items and wonders why there is no-one behind the counter.   Jinx also comes in;  

"Sorry to hear the decision, mate"

“Listen, I was sorry to hear about the CPS decision, mate,” he tells Mark, “I’d like to think that we are still mates, despite all this.   Has Sgrechffest definitely been cancelled now?”

"I'm going back to my cheap solicitor"

“Yes,” says Mark, “And I’m going back to my cheap solicitor, I’m sure you’ll be glad to know.”   

"The CPS are prosecuting, not me"

Jinx reminds him that the CPS is doing the prosecuting, not him.   “Look, everyone can get a refund in the Deri later – if you will pass the message on,” Mark groans, then walks out of the shop without his purchases.

“Hey, you forgot your porridge,” Jinx reminds him, 

"I'll be living on porridge before long"

but Mark snarls that he will be living on that before long.

"Tea first, with two sugars"

In the deli, Colin proposes, “Right, tea first, with two sugars for the shock,” 

As soon as his back is turned . . .

but, as soon as his back is turned, Anita gets up and heads for the door.

"Don't touch me!"

“Don’t touch me!” she warns Colin, 

"I want Darren"

so he invites her to sit down again;  she insists, “I want Darren – he’ll know what to do.”   

"He's not here is he?"

Colin points out that Darren is not there, so Anita wants him to phone Darren.

"He can teach that man a lesson!"

“He can come quick and teach that man in our house a lesson before he gets away,” says Anita, becoming increasingly agitated.

"He's lived in Canada for years"

“He can’t come – you remember why, don’t  you?   Darren is in Canada – he’s lived in Canada for years.”   This appears to come as news to Anita.

Now Jinx is in the Deri

Jinx is now in the Deri;  Cassie tells Kath after the meeting they will have lunch and a bottle of wine.

Kath sneers that a bottle of wine is not going to make a difference; 

"The liar told me there was nothing going on"

“That liar told me there was nothing going on between him and Kelly – and I saw them, Cassie.”

"Now you know you can't trust him"

Cassie tells her that it confirms her suspicions and now she knows that she cannot trust him;  she did the right thing, getting rid of him.   She is now going to this meeting..

"What time is the Sgrechffest?"

Siôn comes in and wanted to check with Kath what time he is supposed to be there for the Sgrechffest.   

"Oh, John – it's been cancelled"

“Oh, John, they haven’t told you – it’s been cancelled.   Mark will be giving everyone refunds.”

"I thought Eileen was going to Cardiff with him"

Cassie is surprised that Siôn is there, remarking to Britt that she had been told Eileen was going shopping in Cardiff with him.   As he leaves, Britt is angry that Eileen will not be at the meeting.   “Siôn obviously didn’t get the memo,” Cassie comments.

"Hey, you don't think she's . . ?"

“Hey, you don’t think she’s . . ?” says Britt.

"Gone to see Bedwyr for round two?"

“What – gone to see Bedwyr for round two?” chuckles Cassie.

Lleucu and Howard come in

Lleucu and Howard come in, having been summoned by Jinx.   “Thanks for coming at short notice,” they are told, 

"I'm fed up with seeing Mark heartbroken"

“I’m fed up with seeing Mark walking around heartbroken.”

"You'd feel heartbroken, too"

Howard points out that GBH can mean many years in prison and he would feel heartbroken, too.   “That’s why I want you here, OK?   I’ve had an idea.”   

"What's this all about, then?"

They sit down to hear what this idea is.

"Why would I marry Ieuan Griffiths?"

Anita is still in a very confused state, asking, “Why on earth would I marry Ieuan Griffiths?”   

"Everyone knows about the dementia"

Colin replies that it is her condition, the illness, revealing that he knows about the dementia, as an aunt of his had the same condition – she lived in Felinfach.

"She was around the same age as you"

“She was around the same age as you when she was diagnosed – but do you know what?   

"I adored her"

“I adored her – and although she often forgot who I was, thinking I was the postman or the milkman, I could see in her eyes that her soul and her mischievousness were still there.”

It is dawning on Anita

Anita has been slowly coming to the realisation that is what is happening;  

"You see, I do remember"

“Eileen runs this place now, doesn’t she?   You see, I do remember.”

"Where is she?   Is she all right?"

Diane has rushed round to number 7 as soon as she heard the news about Anita;  “Where is she?   Is she all right?”

"She thought I was trying to attack her!"

Ieuan groans, “She’s in Tamed with Colin – she really thought I was trying to attack her!”   

"That's the illness"

Diane points out that is the illness, but he continues, “She had no idea who I was,” and she appreciates that he has been shaken up.

"Anita will bounce back"

However, he insists that this is only a temporary blip and that she will bounce back like she always does.   

"These bouts will happen more often"

Diane warns him that with this condition, these bouts will happen more often, 

"I want to get her home and settled"

but he is eager to get her home safely and get her settled.

Diane tells him to get washed and dressed;  “I think the best thing for you to do would be to go out – go to work – for a walk, anywhere.   

"I'll phone when she's settled"

"I’ll bring Anita back here and once she’s  settled I’ll phone you to come back.”

"It's something to look forward to, isn't it?"

The planning meeting for Beaujolais day is under way;  Kath regards it as something to look forward to know that Sgrechffest has been cancelled.   

"If she wanted a say, she should have been here"

Britt has already published the details online, arguing, “If Eileen wanted a say, she should have come to the meeting.”

"You didn't need to come"

Mark comes in with the collecting bucket to refund all the donations and comments to Lleucu and Howard that they did not need to come to sort out the refunds.

“That’s not what we’re doing,” Lleucu tells him 

Jinx hands over a plastic folder . . .

and Jinx hands Mark a plastic folder. 

“It’s only right that the postman receives letters sometimes,” he comments, 

 . . . which Mark looks at

as Mark is invited to sit down and look at them.

"Diane – lovely to see you"

Diane arrives at the deli and Anita is pleased to see her;  Colin confirms that everything is now all right, 

"Shall we go back to the house?"

so Diane proposes that she and Anita could go back to the house.   “You can relax there while I make us some lunch – what do you say?”

"Is Colin coming?"

Anita wonders whether Colin will be coming as well, 

"I have to get back to the shop"

but he regrets that he is unable to as he has to go back to the shop.   He tells her to keep the cardigan for now.

They leave the deli . . . 

Anita takes Diane's arm and they slowly leave the deli, walking towards number 7;  

. . . with Ieuan watching . . .

“Why don’t you relax in the bath while I make lunch?” Diane suggests.

. . . until they go into the house

Ieuan is surreptitiously watching them from round the corner;  when they have gone into the house, 

"Thanks for your help, Colin"

he crosses to the shop to speak to Colin, thanking him for his help today.

Colin commends him that he is doing a brilliant job and tells him to stay strong, 

"Sorry, I've got a message"

then has a message on his phone and heads towards the Deri.   

Ieuan peers in through the window

Ieuan peers in through the window of number 7 in an effort to see what is going on.

Mark reads one of the notes

Mark reads out one  of the letters;  “We know you’re a nice person at heart and we wish you well in court.”   Lleucu reassures him that everyone loves him.

"Are you off the hook?"

Colin arrives and asks what they are celebrating;  “Are you off the hook?”

Lleucu explains that they just wanted to show Mark how much he means to them.   Everyone has written a letter with a personal message, with Colin being invited to write one as well.   

"Saying what, exactly"

“Saying what, exactly?” he wonders.

“Say exactly what you think of him,” replies Lleucu, 

"Pass that Biro, pronto!"

so she is told to pass that Biro, pronto.

"We've sold a couple of tickets already"

At the bar, Britt reports that they have sold a couple of tickets for the Beaujolais night already without Eileen’s help.   

"How do I get my money back?"

Then Siôn comes back, asking how he gets his money back for the Sgrechffest, so Cassie gets Howard to do it.

"Didn't fancy a trip to Cardiff, then?"

Then she turns to Siôn, asking, “You didn’t fancy a trip to Cardiff today, then?” and he know nothing about Cardiff, 

"He ought to know the truth, Cassie"

but Britt is adamant that he should know the truth. 

“Eileen said you and her were going shopping in Cardiff today – that’s why she’s not here at the meeting.”

"No, she's in Carmarthen . . . isn't she?"

Siôn contests this;  “No, she’s in Carmarthen, picking up stuff for the Beaujolais night – isn’t she?”   Neither Cassie nor Britt reply

"It's safe to come home now, Ieuan"

In the kitchen at number 7, Diane phones Ieuan to advise him that it is safe to come home now.

"How could I be so stupid?"

“How could I have been so stupid as to believe her?” growls Siôn, 

"She slept with some guy recently"

“Perhaps I shouldn’t say this, but she slept with some guy recently – that night in Swansea.”

They tried to give the impression that they did not know, but Siôn realises that they did.   

"I told her to be straight with you"

“I told her that she had to be straight with you!” says Britt 

"And you weren't angry with Eileen?" 

and Cassie is very surprised that Siôn was not angry with Eileen.

"Women like Eileen don't come into my life very often"

“I was inside, yes, but women like Eileen don’t come into my life very often,” he replies.

"Are you going to her get away with it?"

“So, are you going to let her get away with it?” demands Britt.   He says that he has forgiven her, 

"But, if that's where she has gone today . . ."

but, on the other hand, if that is where she has gone today, then . . .

"Don't make the same mistake as you did with me"

Britt continues that while the two of them were together, she hated it when he would not talk to her and hid his feelings from her;  “So please don’t make the same mistake with Eileen, OK?”

He thanks them for their advice and leaves.   “Eileen Probert!” exclaims Britt.

They are laughing uproariously

Over in the corner, a great deal of laughing can be heard, as Colin regales them with a story;  “And when he came downstairs in the morning, the landlord called him Ron Weasley!   

"Who?"

“Because of his hair.”

Lleucu insists that there is nothing wrong with red hair;  

"Gingers stick together, Mark!"

“Gingers stick together, Mark!”   

"I've had a great day, thanks to you"

He admits that he has had a great day and thanks them all.   Howard points out that only the miser Siôn White came to get his money back, so Lleucu reckons that he can keep his posh solicitor for the case.

“I shall miss you all,” he admits, but Lleucu points out that they do not know what will happen, so he must not get ahead of himself.   

Now Mark needs the toilet

Mark now has to visit the toilet, 

"It's your round next, Ron!"

but is reminded that, “It’s your round next, Ron!”

Eileen is back

Siôn is reading another book when Britt returns home to the shop flat and he ignores her;  she wonders what has happened.   

"Where did you go today?"

He puts down his book and says, “You tell me – where did you go today?”

"Carmarthen"

When she replies that she went to Carmarthen, he snaps, “That’s a lie!   Why did Britt and Cassie say both of us were in Cardiff?”

"I was getting a surprise for them . . . "

“Because I didn’t want them to know I was getting a surprise for them,” answers Britt, “You’ll see – I have a surprise for you, too,” 

". . . and one for you"

and she pushes a black bag across the table.

"Goodness me – it's lovely!"

He looks inside and comments, “Goodness me – it’s lovely,” but then puts it down on the floor and looks at her.

"I've destroyed our trust, haven't I?"

Eileen is very sheepish and realises, “I’ve destroyed our trust, haven’t I?”   Siôn maintains that he is simply overthinking things.   

"Are we going to be OK, Siôn?"

“Are we going to be OK, Siôn?   Because if you want to shout and scream, I’d understand.”

"I want things to go back to how the were"

He just wants things to go back to how they were, something with which she agrees, 

"Do you want me to try that on now?"

then asks, “Do you want me to try that on now?”

"After lunch, perhaps"

“After lunch, perhaps,” he replies, 

She is disappointed by that

which she finds rather disappointing.

"I'm dying of thirst here"

In the Deri, Colin maintains that he is dying of thirst, waiting for Mark to return.   Howard will go and check to make sure he is all right.

"This has been lovely, Jinx"

Lleucu tells Jinx that this has been lovely;  “A lot better than Sgrechffest – thanks, Jinx.”   

"It's the least I could do"

He regards it as the least that he could do, but Colin points out it is not his fault.

“If it wasn’t for me, Mark would not be in this hole,” Jinx muses.   

"Mark's not there"

Howard comes back and reports that Mark is not there, so they wonder where on earth he is.

He is at Maes-y-Deri, picking up few things . . .

In fact, he is just arriving at Maes-y-Deri, where he picks up a few things, 

. . . looks around the room . . . 

looks around the room, 

. . . then leaves again

turns off the light and leaves again.

Ieuan does not know what to say

opens the door of number 7 and Ieuan comes in, carrying some flowers for Anita;  

"Where have you been?"

“Where have you been?” she demands and he hands her the flowers.

“What have I done to deserve these?” she wants to know.   

"I don't know how to thank you"

Diane assures him that she is all right and he does not know how to thank her.

"She will need more and more help"

“There’s no need to thank me – I’m happy to do it – but she will need more help and more often.”   

"She seems more comfortable in your company than mine"

He argues that he and Kelly, between them, plus Diane, she is willing, can cope;  “She seems more comfortable in your company than mine,” he remarks.

"Dai's at Brynawelon tonight"

Diane informs him that Dai is staying at Brynawelon tonight, so that she can have a night off with Glenys;  “He loves it there – and I can relax knowing someone is looking after him.”

"I can't leave Anita"

Ieuan insists that he cannot leave Anita, not in her condition;  he is just glad that everything is all right.   

"Things are not going to improve"

Again Diane points out to him that things are not going to improve and he must realise that, but he points out that Anita is fine at the moment – and that is what is important.

"Diane is leaving, love"

“Anita, Diane is leaving, love,” he says and Anita was pleased to see her.   

"I love you so much, you know"

He hugs Anita, assuring her, “I love you so much, you know.”   

"You romantic old fool!"

She describes him as a romantic old fool.
