"That was a very generous donation!"

In the café, Debbie thanks Ed for his very generous donation;  Sioned is outraged when she hears that it was £200, and looks accusingly at Ed.   

Anita is trying to serve customers

As Anita is trying to serve customers, Hywel makes suggestions for a recipé competition for CwmFM.   

"I'm keeping out of Sheryl's way"

“I’m sorry,” he says, “I’m just trying to keep busy and out of Sheryl’s way while she packs.   She’s going to Canada.”

"She didn't say anything to me"

Anita is most put out that Sheryl had not mentioned this to her;  “The thought of seeing Wil is the only thing keeping her going lately,” Hywel tells her, “I’ve realised I can’t leave this place – and she couldn’t stay.   Letting her go feels weird, but she’ll be back soon.”

Debbie, who has been on the phone, puts her coat on and tells them she is going to see a solicitor.

"How could you?"

When they get back to Eileen’s, Sioned shouts at Ed, “How could you?   We could have used the money as a deposit, or towards heart treatment!   You never thought of me, did you?   That’s our future – and you’ve given it to Mark Jones!”

"I just wanted to do someone a favour!"

“What if he has been wrongly imprisoned?” asks Ed, and she replies that it is nothing to do with them, and in any case why not a tenner, or twenty?   “I just wanted to do someone a favour,” Ed replies, wearily, “But you wouldn’t understand that!”

"You used me!"

Gwyneth is furious when she arrives at Garry’s flat to see Britt;  “You used me – and now Siôn hates me!”

"He'll get over it"

Britt nonchalently replies, “He’ll get over it – it’s nothing to do with him.   Who cares?”   When Gwyneth asks if she has no conscience, 

"When it comes to Siôn, no!"

Britt answers, “When it comes to Siôn, no!”   

"I'm not comfortable with hurting people!"

Gwyneth leaves, saying that she is not comfortable with hurting people, and that Britt has used her.

Sheryl and Hywel at the graveside

At the grave, Sheryl tells Meilyr, “I won’t be able to come for a while – not sure how long – but Dad will be here with you.   I’ll be thinking of you, wherever I am.”   

Eileen approaches them, having heard that Sheryl is going away, 

Eileen recalls losing baby John

and recalls that when they lost John, all she wanted to do was to hold on tightly to Sioned.   “Make the most of the time – and come back when you’re ready,” says Eileen, “You focus on Wil, and that will give you strength.”

"It wasn't a set-up, honestly!"

Britt has followed Gwyneth home and tries to assure her that it was not a set-up, although, not being a fan of Siôn at the moment, she did enjoy giving him a kick.   

A sign of Britt's sincerity . . .

“I wanted to kiss you – it felt right, and that’s why I did it.   Things are not easy for me, the only good thing is having you back in my life, and I don’t want to lose you again.   

. . . does not convince Gwyneth

“I think the world of you, and things will work out – you’ll see!”

"I shall miss this place"

As Hywel and Sheryl walk back towards the salon, she admits that she will miss the place, and Hywel wonders what he will do without her.   

"This is temporary – isn't it?"

“This is temporary – isn’t it?” he asks.

Sheryl receives a text with bad news;  

"Oh no!   Anita says she's coming with me!"

“Oh no!   Anita says she’s coming with me!”   Hywel reveals he let it slip out, so she hurries to number 10 to try and change Anita’s mind.

"There's room for me on the flight!"

“I’ve checked, and Darren says there’s room for me on the flight,” announces Anita, and when Sheryl says she wants to go alone, replies, “It’s all organised now!”

"This is something for me to do on my own"

Sheryl explains that she has given the matter serious thought;  “I realised that this is for the best, this trip is something for me to do on my own.   I don’t want company – remember how you felt when you went to Patagonia?   

"I'll never be able to spend time with Meilyr"

“I want to see my son and spend some time with him – something I’ll never be able to do with Meilyr.   Then I feel drawn to Africa, and if I can just help one child it will give my life meaning again.”   Anita hugs her and urges her to keep in touch.

Siôn has some tricky translation work for a dental company

Siôn is in the middle of some technical translation 

Gwyneth is all apologetic . . .

when Gwyneth arrives;  

. . . but Siôn is very understanding

he assures her that he has no problem if Britt wants to move on, and proposes making a cup of tea.

Debbie is having a job talking

Debbie, who has developed a terrible cold, arrives at Anita’s, asking if she can work tomorrow.   Anita enquires when she will be getting paid, but Debbie was under the impression that she was doing this as a favour to help Mark.   

"I expect to get paid"

“It was at first, but I have worked a lot of shifts, and expect to get paid,” Anita tells her, “I’m really sorry about Mark’s situation, but I can’t afford to work for nothing.”   Debbie walks out in a rage.

Rather more manageable weights this time

Ed has moved to smaller, hand-held weights;  as he rhythmically raises and lowers them, Sioned enters in apologetic mood.   

He seems to ignore Sioned . . .

“I overreacted about the money – I know you were only trying to help.   It’s a heck of a lot of money – but let’s forget about the £200!   I can understand why you did it.”

. . . until he is afraid she knows something

This attracts Ed’s attention and he turns towards her;  she continues, “You’re worried, and I am too, not knowing what’s wrong with me!   It’s driving me crazy!”   However he turns away again and continues his exercising as she loudly adds, 

"You can't bury your head in the sand!"

“You can’t bury your head in the sand and pretend it’s not happening!   

He takes no notice at all, concerned about his own problems

“Ed!   Is this your choice of response?   Maybe you’re not worried about me, but you’ve got a job to do – so get a move on!”

"I feel awful!"

Gwyneth apologises for yesterday, but Siôn reiterates it is nothing to do with him.   She says uneasily, “I feel awful – I’m annoyed with myself for letting Britt kiss me!   One minute I’m your friend, and the next I’m kissing your wife!”

Siôn is amused

This causes Siôn to chuckle;  “It is funny when you say it like that!”   

"Now she has forgiven me"

Gwyneth recalls that Britt was baying for her blood not long ago, “But now she has forgiven me, and it means so much.”

“About time!” replies Siôn, “She has borne a grudge for too long – all she’s done is channel it in another direction – 

"I'm her mighty foe now!"

“I’m her mighty foe now!”

Gwyneth maintains that Siôn was the only person to give her a chance, ands he explains that in his opinion she is a good person.   “I think the world of you,” he says, “But if you want to carry on with Britt, I don’t have a problem with it.   I won’t come between you.”

Debbie offers Anita some pay

Out in the street, Debbie regrets her attitude towards Anita, and offers her some pay, which is declined.   Then Britt joins them;  

"Someone else is going to be moving on"

“Are you waiting to say goodbye to Sheryl?   We all have to find a way of moving on – someone else will be doing that.”   Debbie assumes she has found a new man.

Sheryl is about to leave

Hywel comes out with Sheryl’s case, which Ed loads into the taxi, then Sheryl realises she does not have her handbag and dashes inside to fetch it.

"Ed just ignores me!"

Sioned complains to her mother, “The more I talk to Ed, the more he shuts me out and ignores me!   

"I'm scared of losing Ed!"

“The thought of those tests scares me, and now I’m scared of losing Ed too.   Why isn’t he here for me?   I thought he’d be supportive!”

Eileen assures her that men have a different way of coping, and when it comes to the crunch, he will not let them down.   

"I've never felt so lost!"

Sioned wails, “I don’t know what is worse – finding I have a weak heart, or that Ed doesn’t love me!   I’ve never felt so lost!”

"Please don't go!"

As Sheryl is about to get into the taxi, Hywel suddenly pleads, “Don’t go!” 

"That's how things have to be – for now"

She replies that she knows it is hard, but is how things have to be – for now.   

"You are coming back, aren't you?"

“You are coming back, aren’t you?” he asks, and, after an inital hesitation, she promises that, yes, she is.

Hywel is left all alone, while Gwen is again window-cleaning

Ed starts the engine, and the taxi pulls away, leaving Hywel standing at the roadside, looking very lonely.
