Back in Cwmderi after the night before

Ed’s taxi arrives and Vicky gets out, complaining, “These shoes are killing me!”   

Sioned has her beady eye on them

From the Deri flat, Sioned watches them, laughing and joking.   When he gets up to the flat, Gemma is about to leave for her visit to DJ in prison.

Gemma is just leaving to visit DJ

She tells Ed that she is nervous and that it will remind her of the time her father spent in that prison;  Ed assures her that she will be glad she went.   

"What were you doing in that taxi with Vicky?"

Then Sioned comes in and interrogates him;  “What were you doing in that taxi with Vicky?   She was on an escort job, wasn’t she?   She wouldn’t dress like that otherwise!   

"She looks like a right slapper!"

“She looks like a right slapper, and it looks as if you were having a great laugh!”   She stalks off.

All that Hywel has to remember him by

Hywel looks at photos of Meilyr on his phone;  

"Sheryl is still in bed"

Julie tells him, “Sheryl is still in bed – she has had a hard week, so I’ve told her to stay there all day.   I’ll cook dinner tonight, if you like.”   Hywel is unconcerned.

"I hardly ever see you these days"

In the café, Dani is moaning to Garry that they spend hardly any time together;  

Garry is rushed off his feet at the garage

“Geraint is on his back under a car, we have the school minibus in for repair and I have to find two secondhand cars,” Garry replies.   She tells him that the answer is simple, just give Gethin his job back.

"I'm not running to him, cap in hand!"

“I sacked him!” insists Garry, “I’m not running to him, cap in hand!”   She points out that he was only helping Ffion and trying to have a relationship with Daniel, and that she thought Garry would understand that.

At that moment, Gethin comes in, and Dani says, “Maybe Garry has some good news for you – he needs help in the garage.   If he offered, would you go back?”   

"Yes, like a shot!"

Gethin agrees that he would, like a shot, and Dani adds, “Garry thinks that sacking you was a mistake,” 

Garry appears not happy

as Garry grimaces at her.

“Of course I’ll take the job – brilliant, thanks, Gar!” Gethin replies, and as Garry leaves abruptly with his coffee, 

"What was that all about?"

looks in puzzlement at Dani.

"She slept with a client last night!"

Sioned proceeds to APD in order to blow the whistle on Vicky;  “She slept with a client last night!   She told Ed that it was a Cwmni Perffaith assignment.   She stayed all night with him, and slept with him as part of the job!”   

This horrifies Diane

This horrifies Diane, who asks if anyone else knows.   Sioned answers, “Goodness knows who saw her in the taxi – plastered in lipstick and mascara – and that skirt hardly covered her backside!”   Diane concludes that perhaps the escort business was not a good idea after all.   

"Vicky Collins is a prostitute!"

Sioned puts it rather crudely, “Vicky Collins is not being an escort – she’s a prostitute!”

Ffion visits Hywel

Ffion goes to see Hywel, and he tells her the funeral was the worst day of his life.   She sympathises with his predicament, and when he says, “I hear that things are looking up for you,” 

She is much happier now

she smiles broadly, and recounts that she has been dry for four weeks, and now has Arwen back.

"I have to cope!"

“The fact I’ve lost a child doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for you,” says Hywel, “He’s dead, he’s gone – I don’t know how I can cope with that, but I have to!”

Cadno gives a leaflet to Maldwyn

Siôn and Cadno are distributing protest posters;  “We can leave some in the Antur and Megan’s shop – how about the salon?” asks Cadno.

"Your junk mail again?"

Jim approaches and refers to their “junk mail”;  he asks Cadno, “Shouldn’t you be working on our farm?”   

"We're short of toilet paper at APD!"

He takes one of the posters, commenting, “We’re short of toilet paper at APD!”

Gemma is rather apprehensive

At the visiting room in the prison, Gemma is rather apprehensive at first;  “Dad spent years here – I knew I’d be spooked by this place,” she tells DJ.   She has been missing him a lot, but he assures her that being inside is not as bad as people think.

"I haven't been attacked yet"

“I haven’t been attacked yet,” he jokes, “I keep my head down, show the screws some respect and they leave me alone.”   He emphasises that he is all right.

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Diane goes to Maes-y-Deri to confront Vicky;  “Aren’t you ashamed?   Sleeping with a strange man, while working for Cwmni Perffaith?   I wouldn’t have given you the job – too immature and too irresponsible!”

Vicky emphasises that the Cwmni Perffaith deal was a meal and a chat, nothing else, and the customer did not pay a penny for the later activity;  

"I wanted it!"

“I wanted it!” she explains.

Diane exclaims that she obviously does not have any standards;  “I’m quite choosy, actually!” Vicky replies (in English).

Diane vehemently dismisses her

“You won’t work for Cwmni Perffaith again!” Diane promises her, “You’ve got no class – you’re sacked!

"Better not go to the café – or the Deri"

Outside APD, Siôn thinks it is time for a cup of tea, but they will not be welcome at the café with their posters, and he is trying to avoid Britt at the Deri.   

"I've read these lies!"

Jim strides out, furiously raging, “I’ve read these lies in the leaflet, and you should be ashamed!   Claiming the supporters of the development are anti-Welsh!   Eileen and I are in favour of the Welsh language, so are Dai and Diane, and your own wife, Siôn White!”

"Non-Welsh families will move in"

Siôn counters this argument with, “Non-Welsh families will move in, and their children will swamp local schools.”   Jim insists that teachers will turn them into Welsh speakers, 

Jim has thought of a perfect use for the leaflets

then he grabs the box of leaflets, as he has a perfect use for them.

He goes into APD, followed by Dai, and announces, “We have some shredders on special offer and want to give them a proper test – come on, Dai!”

Into the shredder with them

As they begin feeding the protest leaflets into the shredders, 

"Hey, they're in good working order!"

Dai exclaims, “Hey, they’re in good working order!” while Siôn protests that there is £100-worth there.

"Skedaddle!"

“If you don’t want to buy anything – for instance a shredder – then skedaddle!” is Dai’s suggestion.   

"Criminal damage!"

Siôn threatens that they will be reported to the police for criminal damage.

"Libel, slander, defamation of character!"

Jim, in turn, promises police intervention, “For libel, slander and defamation of character, with your allegations of being anti-Welsh!”   

Dai has seen them off

Dai orders Siôn and Cadno out of the shop.

"I miss you in Cwmderi"

Gemma tells DJ that she misses him in Cwmderi and he agrees, “I’d do anything to get back there – the farm, rugby pitch – and curry in Cwm Delhi with you!   I’ve got a lot of time to ponder in here, and I’m worried that you haven’t got anybody to talk to.   

"You have to talk to Ed"

“You have to talk to Ed about the Borderline Personality Disorder.   Be open and honest with him, and I shall worry less.”   She promises that she will do so.

The photograph of Meilyr

Hywel is looking at the framed photograph of Meilyr;  Julie tells him not to move it;  Sheryl wants it there, as it helps her.   

Julie will talk about Meilyr whenever Sheryl wants

“I’m willing to talk about him with Sheryl any time she wants to,” says Julie.

"Dani swung it for me!"

In the Deri, Ffion, who has Arwen with her, is amazed when Gethin tells her that Dani has swung it so he has his job back.   “She can get Garry to do anything she wants!” he says.

Ffion insists that she has to get used to being around alcohol, 

"Is it wise for you to be here?"

but Britt comments, “Is it wise for you to be here?   And you’ve brought Arwen with you – people will talk!”   

"Stop it, Britt!"

Garry orders Britt to stop it.

"I shall be there for Ffion"

Gethin tells Dani that Ffion is taking one step at a time, and that he is there for her.   She replies, “I’m proud of both of you.”

"There's something I have to tell you

In the Deri flat, Gemma advises Ed and Sioned she has something to tell them;  “What have you done now?” is Sioned’s reaction.

"It's Borderline Personality Disorder"

“You know how I’m having Cognitive Therapy?” begins Gemma, “Well, I didn’t tell you the exact diagnosis.   It’s Borderline Personality Disorder, but I’m managing it, and it’s under control.   They say I’ve turned the corner.”

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Sioned objects;  “Why didn’t you tell us earlier – living under the same roof with something serious like this?”   

"You can talk to me about anything"

Ed assures her that they will help in any way they can, and that she can talk to him about anything.   

Sioned has looked up some useless information

Sioned has looked up the condition on her laptop and, rather irrelevantly, reports that a lot of celebs suffer from it.

As Siôn comes into the Deri, he complains to Diane that Dai destroyed a whole box of leaflets;  

Diane does not share Siôn's opinion

“From what I’ve heard, most of Cwmderi will be pleased he did!” is her unsympathetic reply.

As Siôn reiterates his “threat to the Welsh language” speech, Britt tells him, “Shut up!   You’re like a broken record!”

"Where's that bitch Sioned?"

Vicky marches in, demanding, “Where’s that bitch Sioned?   She’s been bad-mouthing me!   Tell her I’m waiting here to throttle her!”

Sioned appears at that moment, and Vicky continues, “Say anything else about me, and I’ll pull those extensions out!”   

"Actually, I don't have extensions"

Sioned calmly remarks that actually she does not have extensions.

"You're still an ugly cow!"

Vicky is now into her stride;  “I bet your hair’s as false as the rest of you – Debbie told me you had a nosejob.   It didn’t work – you’re still an ugly cow!”

"I'd rather be an ugly cow than a whore!"

“I’d rather be an ugly cow than a whore!” Sioned answers, as the other customers look on, “You’re not fit to be in Cwmderi, you’re not fit to be a mother, you tramp!”

Someone is looking rather amused at this sideshow

Vicky picks up a nearby drink and pours it over Sioned’s head, much to the amusement of certain drinkers, then walks out.
