| Gaynor has an important letter . . . |
Gaynor picks up the post and finds a letter from her solicitors, the divorce petition,
 |
| . . . the beginning of the divorce procedure |
and leaves it on the table when she goes to school.
 |
| Yes, the Deri does look different |
Britt arrives back in the Deri and stops in astonishment at what she sees. The ram’s head on the bar catches Chester’s attention.
 |
| "Hey, Siôn!" shouts Britt |
Britt shouts for Siôn, and is surprised to see Anita in her apron appear from the kitchen; she explains,
 |
| The chef explains the sculpture |
“According to the artist, Damien, the sculpture is ‘the spirit of Rebecca’,” but Chester insists it is the spitting image of Gerwyn, in his class.
After Kelly rushes in to say that a friend has told her the meal in the Deri last night was “lush”,
 |
| "We'd better wait until Siôn returns" |
Anita tells Britt that perhaps it would be best to wait until Siôn arrives.
 |
| DJ is puzzled by the preferential treatment |
In the café, Debbie appears to be buttering up DJ, giving him food he had not ordered, on the house; “Must look after out best customers,” she tells him.
Colin comes in with a box of vegetables and comments on the 1980’s picture;
 |
| Colin reminisces about the 80s |
“Those were the days – you should have seen me on the dance floor! I had a silver two-piece, and was mistaken for Simon le Bon once – outside a chippy in Tregaron.” Debbie maintains that she is too young to remember the 80s, and Colin remarks,
 |
| Debbie does not appreciate Colin's comment |
“Now who’s being ridiculous?”
Dani comes in for coffee,
 |
| "Ooh look, I've got the job!" |
then Kelly bursts in, very excited, with the news that she has got a job with the Western Post. Debbie suggests a celebration night out in Swansea tomorrow; “Cocktails and clubbing!”
Colin sees Gaynor outside and goes to see her;
 |
| "Mind your own business!" |
“Tell me to mind my own business,” he begins, and Gaynor tells him to do just that. When she says that the divorce petition has arrived, he tells her it is easier to fill in with a glass of wine, and company.
 |
| Colin is concerned about Gaynor |
He will make dinner for her tonight.
 |
| Siôn comes in . . . |
When Siôn comes into the Deri, again with vegetables, Britt tells him they came home early to surprise him, but she has got the surprise.
 |
| . . . then drones on and on . . . |
Siôn eloquently lists all the advantages of his alterations; “It will pay off, I promise. Damien from Bancyfelin did the painting and sculpture.
 |
| . . . as Britt becomes less and less interested |
“The dynamics of the place have changed completely – now it’s a hive of Welsh culture, just as I imagined it.”
“Right, lets go through it one deception at a time,” replies Britt, “Starting with Anita!” Siôn explains that her a la carte menu has been very well received, but Britt snarls,
 |
| "I can't take much more of this!" |
“I don’t think I can take much more of this! I’m not going to let you drag me down with you! You had better start thinking how you can tell Delia Smith she has to hang up her apron!”
 |
| Just checking details with the solicitor . . . |
When Gaynor arrives home, she is checking with the solicitor that the “Co-respondent’s Name” is where she enters Sheryl’s name,
 |
| . . . before she writes Sheryl Hughes' name |
then sits down and writes, in capitals, “Sheryl Hughes.”
Dani and Debbie are wondering what the sculpture is supposed to be,
 |
| "What does it represent for you?" |
and Siôn suggests, “You should think what it represents for you.”
 |
| Kelly can think of something |
Kelly says she has a name in mind for it, but is too much of a lady to say.
 |
| They have a cup of tea . . . |
Siôn, Britt and Anita are sitting at a table, and Britt says,
 |
| "As he won't tell you, I shall have to" |
“Sorry, Anita, but he’s not going to tell you, so I’ll have to. Your menu will kill the profit we’re making from the bar food.” As Siôn shakes his head, Anita protests that the only reason she is there is that Siôn employed her; “We can’t keep you here, and that’s the end of it!” insists Britt.
 |
| "There is a market for Anita's food" |
 |
| "This is what Meic's money was for" |
Anita has her say; “Sorry if I sound thick, but obviously this is what Meic’s money was for – an investment back into the community.” Siôn adds that it will take a while for the investment to succeed, “But in the end . . .”
 |
| "The end — for you and me as well!" |
Here Britt interrupts him; “That’s what worries me – the end! Not only of this place, but you and me as well!” Anita makes a hasty exit back to the kitchen.
 |
| "Is there room for a little one on this night out?" |
DJ is leaving the Deri to give Colin some cookery tips, and mentions to Debbie their night out tomorrow, asking, “Is there room for a little one?”
 |
| The sculpture has been relocated |
Britt moves the sculpture to the other end of the bar, and Siôn tells her that when people heard about the money, they expected to see improvements in the Deri.
 |
| "I'd appreciate some support" |
“I had no choice. I would disappoint someone whatever I did. For the sake of the business and us, I had to disappoint you, but I’m trying my best, and I’d appreciate some support.”
“How can I support decisions made without me, that dig us deeper into this lie?” is Britt’s retort.
 |
| Siôn advocates keeping the status quo |
As Anita has joined them, Siôn proposes keeping both menus, in an attempt to keep old customers and attract new ones. He asks Britt what she thinks;
 |
| "Are you seriously asking me?" |
“Are you seriously asking me? You’ll do it anyway, so what’s the point of opposing it?”
Debbie opens the first meeting of the “Clubbing Club” for girls’ nights out,
 |
| DJ appears to be chatting up Debbie |
when DJ wants to join them; Sioned comments,
 |
| "You're not like any girl I've ever seen!" |
“You’re not like any girl I’ve ever seen!” He insists he could act as a “Minder” and assures Debbie that she could have “extra attention,” which causes amusement for Dani and Sioned.
 |
| Colin has a crafty look at the form |
Colin arrives at Llwyncelyn with the dinner ingredients, and as he takes off his jacket, sneaks a look at the divorce form on the table. They sit down for a glass of wine;
 |
| "To better times" |
Colin says, “To better days,” and Gaynor adds, “They can’t get much worse!”
Colin warns her that the process takes ages, and he has experience of that, thanks to her. He also reminds her that she has friends and family, and asks if she has told Lois and Izzy yet. “Right, let’s start burning this dinner!” he says.
 |
| "Why are you acting oddly?" |
When Debbie goes to the bar for the next round, she asks DJ why he is acting so oddly. “It is only natural,” replies DJ, “You want to jump straight back on the horse. I know the signs!”
Debbie realises that he has misunderstood, and tells him she prefers more mature men;
 |
| "Oh dear, I must be losing my touch!" |
“Oh dear, I must be losing my touch – sorry, Debs,” he apologises.
 |
| "What are you doing with my phone?" |
Sioned, who has slipped to the loo, returns to find Dani looking at her phone; Dani says she thought she heard it ring, but Sioned concludes,
 |
| "We obviously have a problem" |
“We obviously have a problem – don’t deny it!” Kelly tries to calm matters, and Sioned warns Dani not to do it again.
 |
| Colin would not advise naming Sheryl . . . |
After doing the washing-up, Colin leaves, but not before advising Gaynor not to name Sheryl as co-respondent. “You should just sign it and forget it.”
Gaynor is adamant, telling him, “She destroyed my marriage!”
 |
| . . . but Gaynor's mind is made up |
and as soon as he has gone, puts the form into the return envelope and seals it.
