"He's been awake most of the night"

Vicky is worried that Nicky has been awake most of the night, but Dol points out that he has not been coughing so much.   

"You don't have to work on a Bank Holiday!"

Mark’s opinion is that Vicky does not have to go to work, as it is a Bank Holiday, but Dol insists that they must;  “There’s a pretty hefty bonus for us – and I need it after that boozy weekend!”   

"Tata, Mami!"

They go, and leave the baby with Mark, until Stacey returns.

Sam is a bit under the weather

Outside the shop, Sam sees Anita;  “I’ve had three nights on the booze – that Dol doesn’t stop!   I got a bit confused over that business with Colin last week.”   

"You don't have to say any more"

Anita however insists he does not have to say any more, as she understands the situation, and walks off along the street.

"I knew she had her eye on him!"

Dol has been watching this, and tells Vicky, “I knew she had her eye on him.   She’s a sly one – while I’m working, I bet she’ll go to Llwyncelyn and try to get her claws into him!”

Sara is pleased to see them . . .

When they arrive at Awyr Iach, Sara welcomes them, but then Dol begins an elaborate fabricated tale;  

. . . but then Dol begins the sad tale of Auntie Magi

“Auntie Magi from Ponty is getting over her agoraphobia!   She has had it for twenty years – can you imagine it – being stuck in that two-up-two-down for over two decades, with just her cat for company?   

"She's been cured at last!"

“But out of the blue she phoned me last night – she has been cured at last, and wants to take me out for the day, to celebrate, and thank me for all I did for her when she was suffering.   I feel awful for letting you down, but she wants to go to the National Botanic Garden.”

I did not think that Sara was that gullible  

Sara apparently falls for this tall tale and agrees that she can have the day off.

"Did you see anything suspicious?"

Mark has printed a leaflet and shows it to Colin in the shop;  “Did you see anything suspicious on the Maes-y-Deri estate?” Colin reads, 

"That's much better than accusing everyone!"

and adds, “That’s much better than accusing every Tom, Dick and Harry.”   Mark is still no less determined to find out who set him up, 

Anita is given a leaflet, while Gwen examines a pot plant

and as he is leaving, gives a copy to Anita.

She has come in for headache tablets, 

"I was completely blotto!"

and Colin comments, “I bet yours is not as bad as what Dad and I had – I was completely blotto yesterday, and Dol was even worse!”   

"Why didn't you tell me they were an item?"

Anita demands why he did not tell her that Sam and Dol were an item, but Colin dismisses this as a fantasy.   

"I'm the next First Minister of Wales!"

“If they’re an item, I’m the next First Minister of Wales!” he chuckles, “Nothing happened over the weekend except drinking like fools.   Why don’t you go to Llwyncelyn and offer to make him a large pot of strong coffee?”

Sam is concerned by the sudden drop in pressure

Sam is hosing down the boat, when Dol arrives and turns off the water;  

"Surprise, surprise, sailor boy!"

“Surprise, surprise, sailor boy!” she shouts.   She offers to be his little helper, while remarking, “That was a weekend, wasn’t it?   

"Drinking the captain under the table!"

“I never thought I’d see the day when I could drink the captain under the table!   How do you fancy ‘the hair of the dog’?”   Sam points out that it is only 10:30am.

Stacey has a crafty look at a leaflet

Mark arrives home and Stacey, who has been baby-sitting, looks at one of his leaflets;  “You’re not going to stop, are you?” she says, “If the police can’t find out who did it, how can you?   

"People think you're not right in the head!"

“People already think you’re not right in the head!”   

"I'm going to prove them wrong!"

He insists that he is going to prove them wrong, and will not stop until he does.   Nicky appears to be running a high temperature, 

"Nicky needs his Mam"

so Stacey considers that he needs his Mam;  she is going to take him over to Awyr Iach.

Dol turns the hose on Sam . . .

Dol takes over the hose, to wash the soap from the boat, but then turns it on Sam;  

. . . it sprays everywhere . . .

they tussle, with water spraying everywhere.   At that moment, Anita arrives at the gate;  

. . . and Anita is disgusted

she views their childish behaviour with disgust, then turns and goes.

"Your father had company – DOL!"

Back at the shop, she tells Colin that his father had company at Llwyncelyn – Dol!   “Friends don’t run around the garden, screaming and shouting – and throwing water at each other!   I tell you, they’re an item!   She told me Friday night, and this confirms it.   

Poor old Colin does not like being accused

“You’re getting a cheap thrill from making a fool of me!”

Vicky thinks he needs a checkup

Vicky is concerned about her son, and wants to take him to A&E, so Sara permits her to take her lunchbreak early, requiring her to be back by 2:00pm.   

"Do you fancy a shift?"

She asks Stacey, who has accompanied Vicky, if she wants a shift, but the answer is, 

"Not while you're still dealing with Telcaro!"

“What?   While you’re still dealing with Telcaro?   Vicky told me you’re still doing it!”   

Sara informs her that she had better leave, but Stacey warns, “The fight isn’t over – not by a long way!”

"Dol threatened to come back!"

Colin goes to see Sam and enquires how Dol came to be soaking wet.   Sam replies that she has gone to change, but threatened to come back with a bag full of cans.   “That woman has the stamina of a horse!

"You didn't notice Anita, then?"

Colin presumes, “You didn’t notice Anita then, when you were acting like children?   She thinks you’re an item.”   

"Dol is the bane of my life at the moment!"

Sam refers to Dol as the bane of his life at the moment, so Colin advises, 

"Tell her how you feel!"

“Tell her how you feel – and then have a sensible chat with Anita!”

"I'm taking Nicky to A&E"

At Maes-y-Deri, Vicky tells Dol that she is taking Nicky to the hospital, and Dol informs her, 

"I'm going back  to my lusty captain"

“I’m going back to my lusty captain – we’ve got the hots for each other.   

"I may not be sleeping here tonight!"

“I may not be sleeping here tonight!”   

"Eurgh!"

Vicky looks somewhat disgusted at the prospect.

"I've had some stick this last week"

Mark meets Anita in the street;  she tells him she has read his leaflet and hopes he gets justice.   He admits, “I’ve had some stick this last week – people think I’m a crackpot.”   

"Sam has another woman – Dol!"

She mentions that she quite likes Sam, but he has another woman – Dol.   

"No, not Dol!"

Mark laughs, “I don’t think so!” 

But then they have proof

but then they see the couple going into the Deri.

"Sorry I was so long"

It is late when Vicky returns to Awyr Iach after waiting at the hospital and getting caught up in traffic;  she expresses her regret to Sara, who is very doubtful about Vicky’s sincerity.   

"You dropped me in it with Stacey!"

“You’re not really sorry – you dropped me in it with Stacey!”

"You lied to Sheryl!"

Vicky is becoming angry;  “You broke your word and lied to Sheryl!   What was delivered?   More stuff from Telcaro!”   Sara maintains that it is her business and she will run it as she sees fit.   “Perhaps I shouldn’t work here any more!” replies Vicky.

"Where will someone like you find another job?"

When Sara patronisingly remarks, “Where will someone like you find another job?” she picks up her coat and walks out.

"You and me – we're two of a kind"

In the Deri, Dol addresses Sam, “You and me – we’re two of a kind.   We’ve lived, loved and seen things other people just dream about.   

"Why don't we go out tonight?"

“We know what we want from life, don’t we?   Why don’t we go out tonight?   A meal, cinema, big bag of popcorn, 

"Find a seat in the back row"

“find a seat in the back row – then it won’t matter if the film is terrible!”

Sam has been listening to this, then has his say;  

"We're not an item – and never will be!"

“I’m going to be blunt, Dol – we’re not an item!   And we never will be, sorry!”   Dol is stunned, and gets up to go to the bar, where she encounters Sara, 

"How is poor old Auntie Magi?"

who enquires how Auntie Magi is.

“Who?” replies Dol, and when reminded that she is agoraphobic, 

"Ooh – not very well!"

adds, “Not very well, if the truth be known.”

"Did you go for a dip in the sea?"

Sara continues, “I heard that you were walking down the street, soaking wet!   Where was Auntie Magi?   Did you go for a dip in the sea?   You’ve let me down, and I expected better.   Tomorrow you can show me what you can do – then we’ll see if you get your job back!”

"If we have Dol on our side . . ."

At Maes-y-Deri, Stacey is furious that Awyr Iach are still packing stuff from Telcaro;  she will try to contact Sheryl.   “If we have Dol on our side, she’ll have to do all the packing herself!”   

"I can't see her going on strike!"

Mark doubts whether Dol will go on strike, but it would cause a real hullabaloo.

"It's time someone taught Sara a lesson!"

“It’s about time someone taught Sara a lesson!” concludes Stacey.
