"What about your duties to your wife?"

Siôn is at Penrhewl, helping Marian with something, and tells her it is part of his duties as chapel leader;  she replies, “What about your duties to your wife?”   

"Oh, that put me in my place!"

He tells her that is nobody else’s business.

"Might as well invite Jason and Sara"

DJ suggests to Cadno that if Dai and Diane are coming to dinner, Sara and Jason might as well come too.   “A family meal,” he tells her, but Cadno points out she is not a member of the family.   “You will be after tonight!” jokes DJ, 

"Congratulations"

and Siôn takes this to mean they are getting engaged.   Cadno rapidly disabuses him of this misconception.

"Another e-mail from Sir Dave"

As Dai boasts that he has had another e-mail from Sir Dave, Jason has had the invitation by phone.   

"I don't want to go!"

Sara is not keen to go, maintaining that she has a lot of work to do, but eventually she grudgingly agrees.

Eileen goes to Angela’s, worried about what the test results might be;  “You might have inherited it from your father,” she tells Angela, 

Lying is coming more easily to Angela

who glibly replies that she has already contacted him, and he is clear.

“It’s easier to be honest with someone not so close,” she adds, rather gratuitously, 

"I can't support you if you're not honest and open!"

and Eileen is hurt, warning that she cannot support her daughter if she is not open and honest.   Angela simply walks away.

"Happy birthday!"

“Happy birthday,” says Hywel, handing a card to Sheryl, “As I didn’t know what you wanted, I’ve booked a table at Y Glyndwr.”

"You know very well what I want!"

Sheryl responds with, “You know very well what I want, but you won’t agree to it!”   He says that he is not going to change his mind, he has responsibilities he will not shirk, and questions how they can afford this trip.

"Our savings are for emergencies"

“Our savings are for emergencies, not travelling around the world!” says Hywel, so Sheryl phones to cancel the table, stressing that she does not feel like celebrating.

"You thinking of moving?"

Sara has some house details from Tomos ac Ellis, and as she sits in the café with Jason, Angela asks, “Are you thinking of moving?”   Sara replies that she wants to do so as soon as possible.   “So are we!” states Angela, 

"That's news to me!"

much to Eifion’s surprise.

“We won’t be competing for the same houses,” Angela assures her, “I think we’re looking for something bigger!”   

"Y Felin's bound to be up for sale"

Eifion decides to join in, suggesting they might go for Y Felin, which is bound to be on the market now Siôn and Britt have split up.

Sheryl's enthusiasm knows no bounds

Sheryl continues to work on Hywel;  looking at the laptop, she says, “I feel I know these people already – most have no parents and no education.   

"They would have to live on the street"

“Without this charity, they would have to live on the street.”

“You’re not going to be able to save every orphan in Africa!” Hywel protests, but she tells him she will be content if she can just help one child.   

"This is not the way to get rid of our problems"

“You’re not going to get rid of our problems by trying to sort other people’s out,” he tells her.

As Angela leaves the café, she wishes Sara good luck.   

"Angela thinks she's better than us!"

Sara is furious;  “What a snob!   Thinks she’s better than us!”   

"Watch what you say about Angela!"

Jim, who has just come in, warns her to watch what she says about Angela, who has got a lot on her mind.

When Sara has gone, allegedly to collect something from home, Jason remarks to Jim, 

"All this moving business!"

“Angela must have a lot on her mind with this moving business!”   Jim looks surprised, telling him that nothing is further from her mind at the moment.

Siôn has a linguistic problem

Siôn is mulling over a knotty translation problem when Sara arrives and comes straight to the point;  

"I'd like to buy it!"

“If you and Britt are getting divorced, if you’re thinking of selling Y Felin, I’d like to buy it!”   Siôn tells her it is not for sale, but this does not stop her;  “You wouldn’t need an estate agent, so you’d save a fortune – but selling the place would help you to move on.”

"You've got a nerve!"

“I can’t believe you’ve got the nerve to come here and try to buy my home!” Siôn rages, “It’s not for sale to you or anyone else!   Just leave, will you?”

"Welcome to Penrhewl!"

Later, Dai, Jason and Sara are welcomed to Penrhewl by Marian;  

"The food won't go to waste!"

Dai assures them that while Diane is not well, the food will not go to waste.   He tells DJ, “Diane and Sara have been at each other’s throats all day!”

"That Siôn rejected my offer!"

Meanwhile, Sara is expressing to Jason her displeasure that Siôn rejected her offer to buy Y Felin;  he wonders why she did not mention this to him.

"Why are you being so impulsive?"

“Why are you being so impulsive?” he demands, 

"I can't wait to get out of Bryntirion!"

and she explains she is desperate to move out of Bryntirion.

“Why have money in the bank if we don’t use it?” asks Sheryl, “I can’t think of a better way to spend the money than to visit Wil and help people less fortunate.   I really believe we should do it – in memory of Meilyr – it’s the only thing I’ve been thinking about.   

"Let's do this together!"

“I want to help these children – let’s do this together.   It’s all arranged now – all we have to do is pack!”

Hywel is actually giving in

Hywel’s opposition appears to be finally crumbling;  “If this is really what you have to do, I’ll phone Colin and Gwyneth to see if they can cover.   I’d do anything for you.”   

"I've won!"

She hugs him and pronounces this the best birthday ever.

"I've been sanding the floor for eight hours!"

Jim arrives home late, exhausted after eight hours of sanding the floor of the Deri flat.   Eileen is dreading the test results tomorrow, but whatever they reveal, Angela will remain ill;  “I’ve already lost her once, I don’t want to lose her again!”

Sara is getting stuck into the booze . . . 

Marian goes off to bed, while the dinner is in full swing;  

. . . and continues her complaining

Sara is consuming more alcohol than is good for her, and when Jason tries to stop her, she moans, “Don’t tell me what to do!   If you had your way, we’d be living with your mother until we’re sixty!   

"Mustn't come between Mam and her golden boy!"

“I mustn’t come between Mam and her golden boy!   I thought we could buy Y Felin, but Jason’s just not interested – he’s happy being mollycoddled at Bryntirion!”

Dai would be glad to see the back of them

Dai is just relieved they are looking for their own place;  “We’re packed like sardines at Bryntirion!” he exaggerates.

Sara continues, “If I was pregnant, he’d be more than happy to look for a place to live.”   

"Is this what is meant by 'happily married couple'?"

As DJ and Cadno look at each other, 

Jason has has just about enough

Jason tries to stop her pouring another one, but fails.   Jason has had enough and goes to phone for a taxi, but Dai objects;  he wants his pudding.   

Jim is not happy about giving them a lift

Jason actually calls Jim for a lift home, which does not go down very well.

Angela is determined to go ahead

Eifion asks Angela, “Are you serious about moving house?   Moving is stressful at the best of times, never mind in your condition.”   She is determined that this is not going to stop her living her life.

"I'll do all I can to make things easy"

“That’s why I want to move as soon as possible, in case the condition gets worse.   As they say, ‘Hope for the best, plan for the worst’.”   Eifion agrees to do all he can to make things as easy as possible;  

She cannot believe her luck

he opens the laptop and starts a search for their dream property.

"Jason needs to grow up!"

As dessert is served at Penrhewl, Sara is still going on, accusing Jason of going running to his mother, and needing to grow up.   “No wonder I don’t want children, when you behave like one!”

Dai is getting tired of this;  “Put a sock in it, or you’ll be sorry when you’re sober!”   

She knocks the dessert flying

Flailing her arms around, she tells him to be quiet, and sends her dessert flying across the table.

At this moment Jim walks in and comments enthusiastically, “This is what I call a party!”   Amid profuse apologies, Jason shepherds Sara out of the door, while Jim says, “That trifle looks nice!”   Dai points out that it is actually Eton Mess, which tickles Jim;  

"Yeah, it looks like a mess!"

“Yeah, it looks like a mess!”

"That Sara's a bit of a madam!"

Cadno concludes, “Thank goodness we don’t share a house with them!   That Sara’s a bit of a madam!”   DJ reckons that all women are like that if they do not get their own way.

"I want you to move into my room!"

“I want you to move into my room,” announces Cadno, “Not just your stuff – I want you to wake up in my bed, and not be in a rush to leave!”

"Unless there's a cow giving birth!"

“Unless there’s a cow giving birth!” adds DJ.   

Off they go, hand in hand

Hand in hand, they head upstairs.

"Look at all these houses!"

Angela thinks she is on to a good thing when Eifion finds some lovely houses;  “Courtney will be so excited when she hears,” Angela purrs, 

"I want to know Courtney will be all right"

“That’s why I want to make this investment in her future – I don’t know what’s ahead of me, but I want to know that Courtney will be all right.   I have to suffer, and I have no choice, 

"I don't want her to suffer because of me!"

“but I don’t want her to suffer because of me!”
