Britt has been worrying about the "accident"

Britt mentions to Siôn that she has been tossing and turning all night as she is worried about something Gethin said.   “It made me think about the accident — was it an accident?”   But Siôn is opening a letter, which he discovers is from Meic, containing a cheque for £10,000, with the instructions, “To be used appropriately.”

Britt is gleeful about the cheque

Britt is excited that they will be able to start paying off the debt;  Siôn reads that Meic is leaving the café to Debbie and the house to Anita, and wants Siôn to tell them.

Simon the electrician confirms it was deliberate . . .

Simon Griffiths, an electrician, has examined Garry’s flat, and confirms that the electric shock was definitely not an accident.   As Britt comes up the stairs, 

. . . and is paid by Garry to keep quiet

Garry slips Simon some money and warns him not to say a word.   

"Oh, it was a manufacturing fault"

He tells Britt that it was a “manufacturing fault” on the toaster, and she tells him, “I was starting to think Gwyneth was responsible;  you haven’t been getting on lately, and she was behaving oddly when I was over there yesterday.”

Garry has his suspicions

Garry ponders, “She was outside the flat when Dani went in the ambulance – no, I’m being paranoid!”

Dai and DJ are in the midst of the rubbish from the loft, allegedly sorting it.   As Diane goes out, DJ finds an album containing cards from tea packets, 

"I remember those 'Wonders of the World',"

and Dai recalls that was the “Wonders of the World” series, but “Everest” was missing.   “There’s no point in keeping it, as it’s not a full set,” he concludes.

Siôn reveals the contents of Meic's letter

Siôn announces to Anita and Debbie the contents of the letter, and Anita is somewhat perturbed that the café is going to Debbie.   When Siôn tells them about the cheque, and says it is for investing in the Deri, she also thinks that rather strange.   

"You've got a lot of explaining to do!"

At the news that Meic wants Darren to be his executor, Anita gets out her phone to ring Meic for an explanation, but she has to leave a message, “Ring me back – you’ve got a lot of explaining to do!”

Gemma lies in wait in the alley

Gemma hangs around in the alley, waiting for Gwyneth to come out of the café;  “Great news about Dani,” says Gemma, “She’s coming home next week.”   
“No thanks to you!” replies Gwyneth.

The old "I've got nowhere to go" routine again

Then Gemma begins her sob story about how Megan has thrown her out;  “Nothing I did pleased her, and now I’ve got nowhere to go!”   Despite Gwyneth’s protestation that she is not looking for a lodger, Gemma has her mind made up, 

"I want to talk to you about Dani"

and when Garry comes across wanting a word with Gwyneth, she follows them inside.

"Do you mind?   I want some privacy!"

When Garry wants to talk to Gwyneth, and pointedly asks, “Do you mind?”   Gemma replies that she does mind, and actually she lives there.   

"What's your game?"

In the kitchen, Gwyneth hisses, “What’s your game?”

Gemma tells her that Britt may well have told Garry about her suspicions;  

"It's all right – I'm with you"

“But it’s all right – I’m with you.”

Gemma takes her bag upstairs, and Garry complains that he should have been told that Gemma had moved in.   

Garry asks questions . . .

He asks, “Why did you go to the hospital?   You hate Dani – maybe you had a guilty conscience.   I had an electrician in this morning, who said it was definitely not an accident.   Where were you around six, when it happened?”

. . . and Gemma carefully monitors the answers . . .

Gemma, who has been listening upstairs, comes back down and says that Gwyneth was with her.   

"Oh, an alibi!"

“Oh, an alibi – very convenient!” is Garry’s verdict.   

"I would never risk going back to jail!"

Gwyneth insists that she would not be so stupid as to risk going back to jail.   “Life without Gwern would not be worth living!”

Then he turns to Gemma;  “You hated her and made her life hell with those messages!   Gemma simply accuses him of throwing groundless accusations around, reminding him, 

"You've upset half the village!"

“You’ve upset half the village at one time or another – you’re looking in the wrong place!”   

"I don't think he'll give you any more trouble"

Without a further word, Garry leaves, and Gemma reassures Gwyneth, “I don’t think he’ll give you any more trouble.”

"Have you cashed that cheque yet?"

In the Deri, Britt is badgering Siôn, “Did you get a chance to cash that cheque?   It doesn’t get us out of the mess completely, but we’re halfway there!”

Then Debbie comes in, remarking that it is a strange feeling that the café is hers.   “You can buy me a drink if you like, seeing you’re so flush!” says Debbie, and Britt is enraged that Siôn has mentioned the cheque.   

They are at it, hammer and tongs again

As they frequently do, they engage in another heated argument.

"It's strange, giving Siôn £10,000!"

Anita tells Diane that it is strange, giving Siôn £10,000 without saying what it is for, but Diane maintains that the Deri was always close to Meic’s heart.

“Try and see it from his perspective,” implores Diane, “He is getting things in order to give him peace of mind, knowing everything is settled and taking the pressure off you.”

"Voicemail again!"

Anita phones Meic once more;  “Voicemail again – why won’t he answer me?   He’s cut all contact with me!”   Diane suggests he is giving her time to accept his wishes, and to accept that he is not coming back.

"Do you want me sleeping on the street?"

When Gwyneth tells Gemma that she wants her to leave, there is an expected response;  “I’ve got nowhere else to go.   Do you want me sleeping on the street?   We’ll get on great – I can help look after Gwern.”

"I don't need help!"

Gwyneth protests that she does not need help, but Gemma insists, “I think you do.   What if Garry comes back to put more pressure on you?   Could you cope with that without me?   If he got a reminder of how much you hate Dani . . .   

Gemma threatens her with the police

“It would be easy to go to the police and point the finger at you.   I could easily have made a mistake about when I was here.

“But that doesn’t have to happen if we help each other.”   Gwyneth is forced to allow her to stay, and she hurries off to fetch the rest of her things.

Dai looks at the tea cards, before donating them to Apêl Maenan

DJ and Dai unload the car outside Megan’s shop;  “She’ll need an extension for all this lot,” says DJ.

Britt is still angry that Siôn did not keep the cheque secret.   Dai and Diane come into the Deri;  Diane is still planning the Caribbean holiday, 

Another iPad with a purple case

and on the iPad shows Dai the golf course there.   As Debbie leaves, she meets Anita, and asks, 

Debbie demands what Anita was expecting

“What were you hoping for?   The house and the café?” but she agrees that she would rather have Meic there than the café.

The news about the cheque is spreading

Dai remarks to Siôn, “I hear you’ve had a cash injection!   Meic must have forgiven you for buying the place, but then, he wouldn’t hold a grudge.”

Garry admires Gwern's masterpiece

Gwyneth and Gwern meet Garry coming out of the shop;  Garry admires his son’s painting, 

Gwen is kept busy, cleaning the windows again

and then sees Gemma with her belongings.   “I’m not happy she’s there!” he says, and Gwyneth agrees, “You’re not the only one!”

"I have a right to know who lives with my son"

“You should have discussed it with me first – I have a right to know who lives with my son,” Garry insists.   Gwyneth responds, “No you don’t – you can’t control my life!   I’ve had enough of accusations!”

"You needed to tell him that!"

She crosses to her front door, where Gemma commends her, “Well done – you needed to tell him that!”   

"You deserve some sweets from Auntie Gemma"

As Gwyneth opens the door, Gemma turns to Gwern;  “I think you deserve some sweets from Auntie Gemma.”
