Kelly is not impressed by the slogan

Kelly reads the leaflet which Rhys has given her;  “New Year, New Body – it’s a bit lame, isn’t it?” but she allows him to put it up on the café noticeboard, 

"Ed!   Cheek!"

and is somewhat indignant to see that there is a ‘Pwll Bach’ poster on there already.   “Ed!” she growls, “Cheek!”

Rhys is amazed that she is in favour of the landfill, 

"That is not on!"

but she insists that this is her café;  “That is not on!”

Gaynor returns home, and shouts, “Colin, I’m home!”   

"I never thought I'd say that again"

Then she mutters to herself, “Words I thought I’d never say again.”   She looks at the post, 

She finds a Christmas card . . .

and finds a Christmas card, 

. . . from Elgan and Sofia

which she discovers is from Elgan and Sofia;  she suddenly feels very deflated.

"I want Morawel to be a home for a local family"

Siôn is, as usual, disagreeing with Anita;  “We’ve been through this – I want Morawel to be a home for a local family.”   She unenthusiastically enquires who is this lucky family, and he replies, “Gerwyn Parry, a mechanic, and his wife, Jaclyn.   They’ve got a grown-up son and daughter – and they loved the place.”

"I also loved it!"

Anita points out that she also loved it, and is invited to come and meet the family, but she thought she and Siôn were going out to dinner.   

"We can stop somewhere on the way back"

He says that they can stop somewhere on the way back, 

He lets them know he is coming

and rings the Parry family to let them know.

"There are more names on the petition every day"

Gaynor finds Ed in the Deri, and tells him there are more names on the petition every day;  he is glad that people feel strongly about it.   

"Here comes trouble!"

Then Kelly comes in, with the poster in her hand;  

"That's way out of order, Ed!"

“What’s your game then?” she demands, “I respect your opinion and all that, but posters in my café?   Way out of order!”   

Gaynor suggests that Kelly designs another poster and put it next to that one, so that everyone can see both sides, 

"You've been brainwashing Ed"

but Kelly tells her to stay out of this, as she brainwashed Ed with her propaganda.   “You’ve been forcing your agenda down his throat!”

"I have got my own opinion, you know"

Ed protests that he has his own opinion, and no-one is forcing him to do anything;  “I thought you would know that!”   She slams down the poster and walks away.

The Cae Glas business is going well

At Penrhewl, Eileen is surprised at how well the Cae Glas business is progressing;  “We’re going from strength to strength, as I told you,” Sioned remarks, “We work well together.”   

"You two working together?"

Jim finds this hard to believe, 

The smile on Sioned's face . . .

and Eileen proposes that they go to the Deri to celebrate the success of Cae Glas.

. . . soon disappears when Angela arrives

The convivial atmosphere is short-lived.   Angela arrives, and Sioned informs her that they are doing the accounts;  “Family only!”   However, she is overruled by Eileen, who says she is giving Angela a second chance.   

"I wouldn't say I was happy"

Sioned is astonished that Jim is happy with this, and he explains that he would not go as far as to say he was happy.   Angela stresses that she does not expect things to change overnight, but hopes that Sioned could give her a second chance too.

"We've both lost our way"

“You and me – we’ve both lost our way,” says Angela, “We’ve both done things we regret – I’m sure if you had your time again, you wouldn’t abuse Ed.”   

"How did you know about that?"

Sioned wonders how she knows about that, but Angela goes on, “We could help each other get back on our feet.”

"I certainly don't need any help from you!"

Sioned snarls, “I am on my feet – and I certainly don’t need any help from you!”   She gets up from the table, telling her mother that she will regret this move.

"I mean it – I miss her!"

Angela says that she is sorry, but she does mean it;  “I do miss her,” 

"Well, we're going to the Deri later"

and her mother says they are going to the Deri later.

Anita is ready to meet the Parrys . . .

Anita is ready to go and meet the Parry family, although very reluctantly, but Siôn receives a phone call;  

. . . but it appears that Siôn has messed up . . .

he is informed by Tomos that some translation work is overdue, owing to confusion about dates.   “This was meant to be in this morning!   

. . . so Anita will have to go on her own

“You’ll have to go and see the Parrys on your own,” he begs Anita, and even more reluctantly, she agrees.

They appear to be having a difference of opinion . . .

At the bar, Ed wants to talk about something else, but Kelly still complains, “She’s a real know-it-all!” but then says she is sorry.   

. . . and worse is to come

The atmosphere is shattered as Angela comes in.   

"Look who's back!"

“Look who’s back!” Kelly comments, 

They try to keep away from Angela . . .

and leads Ed away from her.

. . . as does Sioned 

As soon as Sioned sees who has arrived, she is about to leave, 

"Don't go, Sioned!"

but Angela pleads with her not to go.   “I was heartbroken when I thought you were dying – I thought I’d lose you!” Sioned snarls.   Angela replies that she has not died, and she is so sorry.   

"You sleeping with Ed ruined everything for me!"

“You ruined everything,” Sioned goes on, “You sleeping with Ed ruined everything for me!” 

Ed sits listening to this

Just round the corner, Ed and Kelly are listening to every word of this conversation.

Sioned is becoming increasingly angry;  “After that, I couldn’t trust him – I might not have done what I did to him if it wasn’t for you!”

"It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?"

Kelly has had enough of this, and wades into the conversation;  “It’s always someone else’s fault with you, isn’t it?”   Ed hurries out of the pub as Sioned maintains that things were starting to settle down, and she will not let Angela ruin things again.   

"I'm not sitting at the same table as you!"

She refuses to sit down at the same table, and leaves.   Once more Angela apologises to her mother.

"This is the kind of mess that follows Angela around!"

Jim tells Eileen, “You’d better get used to it – this is the kind of mess that follows Angela around.”

"Can you remove that from the table?"

Gerwyn Parry has car parts spread out on the table when his wife, Jaclyn, wants to serve the meal;  

"Could I borrow some cash, Dad?"

his daughter, Tesni, asks to borrow some cash, but he informs her, “I’m not a bank!”   She is going out tonight and does not have a penny, but her mother points out that she had a late night last night.

"Tesni, lay the table, please"

When asked to lay the table, Tesni calls to her brother, Guto, to do it, and in the midst of the confusion, 

Anita arrives . . . .

Anita arrives, and it is discovered 

. . . and finds Siôn's message was not passed on

that Tesni did not pass on the message that Siôn had phoned.

Anita explains that Siôn could not come, as something cropped up with work.   

"My sons were mechanics"

She sees the car parts on the table and remarks that her sons were mechanics, 

"Darren lives in Canada"

or rather one of them died years ago and the other is in Canada.   She is invited to sit down.

Ed feels angry with himself

Kelly finds Ed looking very upset at home in the flat, and tells him he should have stayed;  

"Walking out gave totally the wrong signals"

“It would have shown that you have moved on – walking out gave totally the wrong signals,” she says, “We’ve been through this – 

"You can't let Sioned win!"

“you can’t let Sioned win.   If it happens again, stand your ground.”

"You're trying to control me!"

“You never stop!” he shouts, “You’re trying to control me, and to blame me – this is how Sioned started!”   

"I'm nothing like Sioned!"

Kelly is astonished, claiming that she is nothing like Sioned, and has always been here for him.

“Look what do you were like when I found you in Caernarfon!” she squeals, 

"You're not the same person you were"

“You’re not the same person – and I’m really proud of you!”   

"That might be the problem"

He replies that might be the problem, and walks out.

"Gerwyn's hopeless with cooking"

Jaclyn tells Anita that Gerwyn is hopeless with cooking, as his mother spoiled him, 

"Gran would lend me some money!"

and Tesni comments, “We haven’t seen Gran for while, actually – she would lend me money!”   Jaclyn explains to Anita that his mother lives in sheltered accommodation, but Gerwyn goes to see her regularly.

"You would never think we were moving to Morawel next week"

“You would never think we were moving to Morawel next week,” Gerwyn says, and this shocks Anita.   They are looking forward to moving in before Christmas, and invite Anita to join them for their meal.   Apparently half the kitchen has been packed away in boxes.

"The Parrys think they're going to Morawel next week!"

While she is alone, Anita phones Siôn;  “Listen, we’ve got a problem – the Parrys think they’re moving to Morawel next week!”   

"You'll have to tell them, Anita!"

He replies that she will have to tell them, but she is adamant, “You can do your own dirty work!   What am I supposed to tell them?”   He advises that she could should tell them they have made a mistake.

Gaynor looks again at the card from Elgan

Gaynor looks again at the card from Elgan, 

Ed delivers the wrong food from the café 

and at that moment Ed arrives with another order from the café.   She finds that what is in the bag is not what she ordered, 

"It's my fault – like everything else"

and he says, “Sorry – it’s my fault – like everything else.”

"Why did I let them upset me?"

Upon questioning, he admits that he is not all right;  “Sioned and Angela were quarrelling in the Deri.   I thought all of this was behind me, so why did I let them upset me?”

"It's enough to upset anyone"

Gaynor answers that it is enough to upset anyone, opening old wounds like that;  then his phone sounds, and when he sees it is Kelly, he refuses to answer it.   

"She will only have another go at me!"

“She will only have another go at me!   She was disappointed in me for leaving the Deri.   I was a coward – you didn’t see the way she looked at me.”

Gaynor stresses that Kelly has been fantastic with him – and it was she who saved him.   

"I'm supposed to be Kelly's partner – not a project!"

“I’m supposed to be Kelly’s partner – her boyfriend – not a project!”   He is offered a cup of tea.

"I hope I won't have any problems with the oven"

The Parry family, plus Anita, have enjoyed their meal, and Jaclyn hopes that she will not have any trouble with the oven in the new place, as she wants to cook a nice Christmas dinner.   

"Can we have a real Christmas tree this year?"

Tesni is looking forward to a decent bedroom, and they would like a real Christmas tree this year.

"Sorry, I have to stop you there!"

“Sorry, I have to stop you there,” Anita interrupts, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re not moving in to Morawel next week.   The sale hasn’t gone through yet – you must have misunderstood – it will be a few months.”   

"We have to be out of here by next week!"

Jaclyn points out they have to be out of the house by next week, and Gerwyn does not know where are they going to live, but Anita makes no reply.

"It's too quiet sometimes"

Ed comments that it is quiet at Llwyncelyn, and Gaynor considers it too quiet sometimes;  “Mind you, Colin’s here at the moment to disturb the peace.”   

"I'm not used to talking about my feelings"

Ed confesses that he is not used to talking like this, about his feelings, and thanks her for listening.   She reminds him, “Don’t forget how far you have come, and don’t let this nonsense with Angela and Sioned cloud your thinking.”

"Elgan and Sofia – the perfect couple!"

She shows him the card from Elgan and Sofia:  “The perfect couple – I’m sure that Elgan was my ‘project’.   We were never going to work, either.”

"I didn't say that Kelly and I were not working!"

Ed demands, “Either?   I didn’t say that Kelly and I were not working!   You think I’m the type to walk away, do you?   That’s how it sounded – 

"I'm not finishing with her!"

“we might have problems, but I’m not finishing with her!   I’ll sort out a refund for the meal.”   

"Please don't go, Ed!"

He takes his bag and leaves the house.

"I don't know where we'll be living"

Anita thanks the Parrys for the meal;  Jaclyn replies, “I would say call again, but I don’t know where we’ll be living.”   

"I'm sorry – I don't know how it happened!"

Anita does not know how it happened, and Gerwyn maintains that getting angry will not change things.

"What are we going to do?"

When she has gone, they wonder what they are going to do, and fear that they could be out on the street over Christmas, 

"We'll be all right, together!"

but their father assures them it will not come to that;  “We’ll be all right, together!” he says, but does not look very confident of the fact.

"I'm sorry for turning up at the Deri"

Sioned is in the shop flat when Angela comes visiting;  “I’m sorry for turning up at the Deri,” she says.

Sioned seems quite sure that they will not be seeing her here again;  

"You're leaving Cwmderi and our lives!"

“You’re going through that door, leaving Cwmderi and out of our lives!”   

"I don't have anyone else!"

Angela pleads that she cannot do that, as she does not have anyone else;  “That’s not my fault!” snaps Sioned, 

"Disappear – or you'll regret it!"

“Disappear, Angela – or you’ll regret it!”

She does not intend to comply with this order;  “Things can’t get any worse for me than they already are, OK?   I’ve got nothing to lose – I need to be here – with my family and my little brother.”

Sioned is unmoved;  “We don’t want you here!”   

"You can't blame me for everything"

Angela insists that she cannot be blamed for everything that has gone wrong for Sioned.   “I’m sorry – I shouldn’t have slept with Ed or pretended to be ill,” she begins.

"If you're really sorry – leave us alone!"

Sioned points out, “If you are really sorry, leave me alone – and leave Mam alone!”   

"The choice is up to you!"

Angela spells out the fact that Sioned has two choices here;   she can make life hard for herself, or accept that Angela is back.   The choice is up to her.
