"Come on, hurry up!"

Eifion is waiting impatiently for Eileen, having heard from the hospital that Angela is getting over her concussion.   Courtney has been trying to cancel a dentist’s appointment, as she wants to be with her Mam. Eifion says that he cannot wait to see her, 

"Neither can I!"

and Eileen, agrees, stony-faced, “Neither can I!”

"I've brought you some help!"

At the garage, as Gethin wrestles with a seized nut, Garry announces, “I’ve brought another pair of hands, as you grumble about being on your own.”   Seeing that he is referring to Chester, Gethin points out that he is not a mechanic;  

"You're not going to refuse to work with a hero, are you?"

“You’re not going to refuse to work with a hero, are you?” replies Garry.   Gethin gives him some advertising flyers to deliver round the village.

Iolo appears amused by this Gaynor-Siôn thing

Gaynor has had her hair done in the salon, and Iolo comments, “You’ve made a real effort for lunch with Dad!”   She is looking forward to it, and watching ‘Les Mis’ with him.

"Want to come to the Classic Car show?" 

As Garry is asking Dani if she wants to come with him to a Classic Car show in Bristol on Sunday, a car pulls up and she recognises her brother, Tyler.   

"Oh, Tyler!"

She rushes towards him and they hug, rapturously.

Iolo has been called out to Y Felin, where a tap in the toilet is leaking;  

"You want everything to be just right?"

“You want everything to be just right for lunch with Gaynor?” suggests Iolo, 

"I really can't be bothered"

but Siôn admits he was thinking of cancelling, as he cannot be bothered.   “She cooked a meal for you – you should return the favour,” insists Iolo, “Cancelling would be really mean, so get a move on and make an effort!”

The message – before he deleted it

Siôn is about to send a text – ‘I heard you’re on holiday.   Hope you have a good time’ – but then has second thoughts and deletes it.

"Craft and Design Technology"

Up in the Deri flat, Dani says she cannot believe that Tyler will be working at Ysgol y Mynach, and announces to Garry that he is the first of her family to go to university.   “I shall be teaching Craft and Design Technology,” he tells her, and she replies that Gethin’s partner also works at the school.   Gethin appears to be unimpressed with him.

"Where are you going to live?"

Dani asks where Tyler will be living.   His reply displeases Garry;  “I was hoping that I could crash here until I can sort something out.”   Dani is enthusiastically in favour of this, but Garry is not so sure.   

"Once he gets his feet under the table . . ."

As Gethin leaves, he warns Garry, “Once he gets his feet under the table, you’ll be stuck with him!”

Angela's visitors have arrived . . .

The three visitors are by Angela’s hospital bed, and Eifion blames himself for the accident;  

. . . Eifion blames himself . . .

“You wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t bought those shoes in Las Vegas!   They’re too high - it’s my fault.”   Eileen stands, glowering at the foot of the bed, as Angela replies that she wanted to see if they went with the clothes she bought in Cardiff.

. . . and Eileen is rather scathing

“You had time for shopping between the therapy sessions, then?” Eileen asks, “Has Doctor Atkinson been to see you? – what did he say?”   Angela tells her that the doctor said there was nothing to worry about, and makes a start on the chocolates Courtney has brought.

Catrin arrives at Y Felin to see Siôn, but while she is looking for him, Chester also comes in on his delivery round.   

"You're coming home with me!"

“You kept a key, didn’t you?” he accuses her, “Mam doesn’t know you’re here!”   Catrin protests that she wants to see Dad, but Chester is in the process of marching her out when Siôn appears.

"I don't want you here!"

He admonishes Chester for bullying Catrin, and orders him to leave;  he refuses to go without Catrin, but Siôn insists, “I don’t want you here!”

Chester demands if Siôn is going to throw him out;  

"You're trespassing!"

when Gaynor arrives she answers, “He has every right – you’re trespassing!   

"Don't spoil it now"

“As your head teacher, I advise you, amicably, not to make a scene, because you’re better than this , especially after being so good with Arwen.   Don’t spoil it now.”

"Right, I'm telling Mam!"

Chester angrily leaves, assuring them that Britt is going to hear about this.

Garry does not look happy . . .

Dani and Tyler are reminiscing about when he stole rhubarb from Mr Griffin next door;  he insists that Dani told him to do it.   When he he walks away to take a phone call, 

. . . and tells Dani that Tyler is not living there

Garry tells her, “I don’t really want him living with us!   I don’t know him.”

Dani maintains that this is a good chance to get to know him, but he is adamant, “I don’t want anyone living with us – I’d like to have you to myself for a while!”   When Tyler returns, 

"I don't want you living here"

Garry pointedly tells him, “I don’t want you living here,” 

Dani of course objects . . .

and in the face of Dani’s protests, adds, “I’ve got a house just down the road – number 7.”   

. . . and Tyler is happy to go to number 7

Tyler is very happy to be given a key.

"Off you go to the dentist's"

At the hospital, Angela encourages Courtney to go to the dentist’s, and Eifion to take her.   

Eileen is determined to get to the truth

As soon as they have left, Eileen demands, “Why did you says Dr Atkinson has seen you?   There is no-one of that name working at this hospital!   And also no record of your aneurysm!”

"There's been a mistake"

Angela tries to convince her there has been a mistake, but Eileen is having none of it;  

"Tell me the truth!"

“Tell me the truth, or I shall go and get Doctor Elis!”   

"I'm not ill!"

Angela now realises the game is up, admitting, “I’m not ill, and I don’t have an aneurysm.”

She pleads unsuccessfully with Eileen not to be angry;  

"How could you do this to us?"

“How could you do this to us?   You led us to believe you were dying!” rages her mother.   She reveals that she thought she might be ill, and was treated differently – she never had so much attention from Eifion.   She lamely says that she did not do it deliberately.

"Eifion jumped to a conclusion"

Blaming Eifion, she continues, “He jumped to the conclusion that something was wrong, and I said it without thinking – then I couldn’t take it back.   For the first time in my life, I felt that someone really loved me.   I never felt like that before, even when a child.”

"Don;t you dare say it's my fault!"

This infuriates Eileen;  “Don’t you dare say it’s my fault!   I tried to borrow £20,000 to help you!   You’re going to tell everyone the truth, especially Courtney – how could you do this to your child?”

Then she blames Jim

“She would never have found out if it wasn’t for Jim!” Angela replies, “I can’t tell her the truth today, I’ve got to find the best way to tell her, so she doesn’t hate me!”   

Eileen then enquires about the £50,000

Eileen insists that there is no ‘best way’, then changes the subject, asking where the £50,000 came from.   Angela says that it just came through the letterbox, marked ‘for your treatment’.   “I was on my way to tell Eifion when I tripped.   I am going to tell him, but please give me time to choose my words.   If you don’t it could ruin everything for ever!”   Eileen picks up her bag and hurries off.

"I can stay for lunch, can't I?"

As Siôn pours wine for Gaynor, Catrin asks, “I can stay for lunch, can’t I?”   Siôn is sure Gaynor will not mind, but she does, especially when he suggests Catrin could also watch the film with them.

Gaynor tries to get rid of her

She is of the opinion that it is not a good idea for Catrin to stay without Britt’s permission.   Siôn could make things even harder by going behind her mother’s back.

"But I want to be with Dad!"

Siôn concludes that she is right, and will take Catrin back and explain to Britt.   

"You finish your meal"

“You finish your lunch,” he says, 

Not quite the meal she had in mind

and leaves with Catrin.

In the garage, Gethin tells Ffion of the new arrival, who is Dani’s brother, but not his;  “He was a terror at school, and got expelled for vandalism.”   

Chester hears about the new teacher

Chester returns, and Gethin tells him they are talking about his new Technology teacher.

Ffion rewards Chester

Ffion gives Chester money as reward for finding Arwen, and has made enough pasta for both of their lunches;  

"Move over, Nigella!"

“Move over, Nigella!   I didn’t know you could cook, Miss!” he says.

Iolo brings in the washing

Iolo is most distressed when he comes in with the washing and finds a stranger in the house.   

"This is Tyler, your new housemate"

Garry explains that this is Iolo’s new housemate, 

Iolo expresses his objection . . .

but Iolo is adamant he does not want to share the house with a stranger.   

. . . which is promptly overruled by Garry

Garry lays down the law;  “Because I’m your landlord, if I say he’s staying, he’s staying!”

Eileen is at the end of her tether

When Eifion returns to the hospital, he discovers Eileen sitting with her head in her hands.   

"Are you sure you're all right?"

Then he asks Angela, “You weren’t just saying things were all right for Courtney’s sake?   Is Dr Atkinson sure this won’t make your condition worse?   I couldn’t handle any more bad news.”

"What's wrong with her?"

Eileen gets up and leaves for home;  Courtney comes in with drinks, and asks, “What’s wrong with her?”   

It is all out of Angela's control now

The three of them return to Angela’s ward.
