| "Fancy a night out?" |
In the café, Kelly tells Debbie she fancies a night out in Swansea or Cardiff, and offers to pay for Debbie to join her.
 |
| "You can come to the auction" |
“If you’re flush, come to the auction on Friday night,” suggests Debbie, but this is not what Kelly had in mind.
Dol asks if she can have a refill, and is grudgingly supplied with one;
 |
| Debbie is not footing that bill |
Debbie even gives her a breakfast, but draws the line at paying that bill. “Hey, Kel,” says Dol,
 |
| "Exclusive – 'Parent Neglect'!" |
“I’ve got an exclusive story for you – ‘Parent Neglect’!” but Kelly points out that she has just been given a free breakfast.
 |
| Marian does not seem herself today |
In the shop, Marian seems rather confused as DJ buys provisions for the farm; as they leave, Jason comes in and remarks upon the rather strange smell.
 |
| "Full of pheromones!" |
Colin informs him, “It’s my new aftershave – I got it online. It’s full of pheromones to attract the ladies.”
 |
| "It won't work on me – I'm a man!" |
Jason cannot say whether it works, as he is a man.
 |
| "You stink!" |
However, when Kelly comes in, her outspoken reaction is, “You stink!
 |
| "You smell like a dead wildebeest!" |
“You smell like a dead wildebeest!” Colin explains that it attracts the ladies; “What – live ones?” she asks, before realising that he is attempting to get a date.
 |
| "Stick with me, kid!" |
“Stick with me, kid!” she tells him, “For a step by step guide on how to get a date. I love a bit of romance.”
 |
| "Tickets for Wales thrashing the French" |
Dai receives some tickets in the post, “For the game when Wales thrash the French on Friday,” he tells Diane, who is quite disinterested.
 |
| "I thought they kicked you out yesterday" |
She says that she is off to help at Awyr Iach, but Dai reminds her that she was kicked out yesterday.
 |
| "They need some help" |
“They need some help as they’re so busy,” she insists, and Dai points out that APD is equally busy. “I just want to show Sara that I’m there for her,” is Diane’s answer.
 |
| Anita gets to grips with the computer |
At Awyr Iach, Anita is being shown the financial system when Jason walks in
 |
| "What are you doing, in our financial records?" |
and wonders what she is doing there. “She has joined us as head of the financial department,” announces Sara.
He wonders what else has been arranged without his knowledge; “Is she getting shares? A pension?” and tells Sara that he wants a word.
 |
| "A ball of string and a couple of bulbs?" |
Debbie is at APD, asking Dai for something to be auctioned; “What do you expect from me – a ball of string and a couple of bulbs?” demands Dai.
 |
| "These tickets are about right!" |
She picks up a Rugby ticket, suggesting that one of those would do nicely, but he points out that the game clashes with her auction. Then he concedes that the rugby club could stretch to donating a pair of tickets for the Italy game.
 |
| "Deb, the very person . . ." |
Colin comes in, with Kelly encouraging him; he addresses Debbie, “Oh, Deb, the very person,” he begins,
 |
| "You blinking stink!" |
but is cut short by her outburst that he ‘blinking stinks!’
 |
| "Step one – a shower!" |
Kelly suggests they they go back to step one – a shower.
 |
| "Jason promised me something for the auction" |
As Anita settles into the intricacies of the job, Debbie comes in and is surprised to see the new member of staff. Jason has promised her something for the auction,
 |
| "Just a pair of gloves?" |
and she is rather disappointed when Sara presents her with a pair of gloves.
 |
| "What are you doing, sitting here?" |
As she leaves, Diane arrives and looks accusingly at Anita; “What are you doing, sitting here?”
 |
| "No lunch, because no cash!" |
In Debbie’s flat, Vicky returns to find Dol reading to Nicky; Dol reports that there is no lunch because there is no food or cash. “We’ve been watching the telly, but your Mother’s choice of channels is pitiful!” announces Dol,
 |
| "Have you had a little chat with her?" |
“You haven’t managed to have a little chat with her yet, have you?”
 |
| Dol sees the keys . . . |
Vicky replies that there is no point, and Dol moans that the house is like an icebox.
When she sees Nicky playing with Vicky’s bunch of keys – the café, Maes-y-Deri and the salon – Dol has an idea.
 |
| . . . and thinks of a warm, cosy room |
“The back room of the salon is warm and cosy, and no-one can see it from the street!” Vicky protests that she could get the sack.
 |
| "You went behind my back!" |
Diane is in full flow, accusing Sara of going behind her back to give Anita the job. Sara replies that Diane already has a job at APD, but she is always here. Trying to defuse the situation, Anita stresses, “They needed someone with experience and expertise in accounts.”
 |
| "What do you think I've been doing?" |
Diane is furious; “What do you think I’ve been doing at APD all these years?” Jason appears and tells then to calm down,
 |
| "This is supposed to be a workplace!" |
reminding them that this is supposed to be a workplace. Anita goes home and leaves them to it.
 |
| "This is our business" |
Jason begins, “Mam, we’re very grateful for everything you and Dai have done – the thing is, this is our business, and we run things the way we think is best. Do you really think it’s a good idea to live and work together?”
 |
| Off they go again |
The two women continue bickering.
 |
| "You won't get any help from me!" |
Diane demands, “Are you turning your back on me now? You’ve made it perfectly clear you don’t want my help. I just hope that nothing happens when you want a favour – because you won’t get any help from me!”
 |
| "Remember – eye contact, charming, compliments" |
Colin’s next attempt is at Anita’s; he tells her that he wants a word, but she is rather wound up after her experience at Awyr Iach.
 |
| Anita is rather too preoccupied at the moment |
“I hope you’re not going to shout at me – Diane’s been doing that. Everything round here is my fault – I don’t think I should have taken that job, but I’ve signed a contract now!”
When she stops and asks Colin what he was saying, he chickens out and wants to go, but Kelly prevents him; “Do you want to prove your father wrong, or what?” she hisses.
 |
| Colin starts his chat-up line . . . |
He starts again, “You look beautiful today – your blouse matches your eyes.” Anita simply asks what he wants, and he replies,
 |
| . . . and asks her out |
“A meal later in the week, or a dinner-dance.”
 |
| "You know that's not a good idea!" |
“Are you asking me out on a date?” she demands, “Well, dont! You know that’s not a good idea.” Even though he wants to rekindle the old flame, he decides to give up the whole idea.
“You’re useless, man!” is Kelly’s verdict.
 |
| "I'd be quieter than a mouse" |
Dol continues her wheedling; “I’d be quieter than a mouse – I could borrow your tablet thingy, cwtch up and watch a few films – and wouldn’t freeze to death! I could get a terrible cold in that house – pneumonia or even worse! It’s like an igloo!
 |
| "What if I couldn't look after Nicky?" |
“What would you do if I got ill and couldn’t look after Nicky for you?”
This last statement appears to have persuaded Vicky, as she hands over the bunch of keys;
 |
| She gleefully grabs the keys |
Dol hurries away, promising to be back within the hour.
 |
| "Shouldn't you have told me about Anita?" |
Jason asks, “Shouldn’t you have told me about Anita?” but Sara counters that he should have told her about Gwyneth’s holiday. “You weren’t deliberately trying to upset Mam, were you?” he continues,
 |
| "Could you work with her all day?" |
and she queries whether he could work with her all day – and live with her. He points out that his Mam is in a terrible mood now, and they still have to live with her.
 |
| "Why does he think you're gay?" |
Over a cup of tea, Anita is incredulous that Colin’s father should believe he is gay. Kelly tells her that actions speak louder than words, and instructs Colin that he is not going to give up. “There is no-one to ask,” he says, discouraged, but Kelly volunteers.
 |
| "Now, man up and ask me!" |
“I’ve been giving you tips all day – now, man up and ask me!” she orders.
 |
| "Erm, I think you're wonderful, Kelly!" |
He begins hesitantly, “Erm, I think you’re wonderful, Kelly, I’ve enjoyed your company today and appreciate your help. I hope that, on the off-chance, you’d fancy going out for a drink.”
 |
| "See, you can do it — ish!" |
She is triumphant; “See, you can do it – ish! Yes, of course I’ll go on a date with you, but I want a meal and not just drinks!”
 |
| Tempers have cooled |
Tempers seem to have cooled at Awyr Iach, as Sara puts a pink hat on Jason and kisses him.
 |
| "How about an early night?" |
He suggests an early night, but she reminds him they live with Dai, and Diane who is after her blood.
 |
| "We're the only ones here – close the blinds!" |
“We’re the only ones here – you could shut the blinds!” she proposes, and he quickly does so.
 |
| "She's got a nerve!" |
At Bryntirion, Diane is sounding off at Dai, “She’s got a nerve – my best friend! I’ve told them not to expect any more help – I’m not going to lift a finger to help them again, even if they beg!”
 |
| "The only other option is to tell them to move out!" |
Dai replies, “We’ll let them run the business the way they please, and then we can all live together happily again. The only other option is to tell them to move out!”
 |
| More lots for the auction |
Dol returns with the keys just before Debbie arrives with some more donations for the auction.
 |
| Dol goes on about the cold, lonely house |
Dol theatrically announces, “Well, I’d better be off then, to that cold, lonely house where my lips turn blue. But don’t worry about me – who needs to be able to feel their feet anyway?” Debbie gives her money for a hot meal, but stedfastly refuses to pay that bill.
 |
| "I knew you weren't all bad!" |
“Thanks, Deb, I know you weren’t all bad!” says Dol and leaves,
 |
| She hurries down the stairs |
hurrying down the stairs with a smirk on her face.
