Cadno is 'critical but stable'

With a monitor by her bedside, Cadno lies motionless in her hospital bed, 

"I'm sorry, Cadno!"

with the distraught DJ by her side.   Diane comes in and he tells her, “Critical but stable!”   

"Go home and get some sleep"

She urges him to go home for some sleep;  the boys are with Eifion, and the hospital will phone if there is any change.

"Why haven't you opened the salon?"

Hywel is surprised that Sheryl has not opened the salon, but she furtively looks up and down the street.   

"What if Social Services take her away?"

“What if Social Services come and take her away?” she asks, but he assures her that if they were concerned, they would have come straight away.   

“Go away!   I don’t want you here,” she tells him, 

Sheryl looks at Esther

then locks the door and looks at Esther.

Garry is back earlier than planned

In the Deri, Garry creeps up behind Dani and surprises her, having caught an earlier train than expected.   

Britt bursts in, followed by Colin;  “Where is he?” she demands, “You said you had a lead!”   

"Sorry, Britt, it was a false alarm!"

Garry explains that someone saw a youth with curly hair, but it was a false alarm.

“You said you would bring him home!” she rages;  Garry maintains that if Chester does not want to be found, there is not much he can do.   

"You were supposed to be looking after him!"

She lunges at him, shouting, “You were supposed to be looking after him!” 

"This is not going to bring Chester back!"

and Colin tries to restrain her.   “I anything happens to him, I’ll never forgive you!” she adds, as she walks out.

Colin explains that she is upset, and does not mean it, 

"You don't know her!"

but Garry disagrees;  “You don’t know her!”

Dai is trying to take his mind off it

When Diane returns to Bryntirion, Dai is dealing with APD invoices;  she tells him, “There is no change.   DJ was very disappointed you weren’t there!   Don’t you think he’s more important than paperwork?   Go and see him!”

"It was my fault!"

“I can’t,” replies Dai, “It was my fault – if he hadn’t been arguing with me, he would have seen Bobi!”   Diane emphasises that he needs Dai now, more than ever, 

"Come and see him later"

and urges him to accompany her when she takes DJ a casserole later.

"They fight like cat and dog!"

In the café, Colin tells Sam that Britt and Garry fight like cat and dog, 

"It will calm down"

but Sam anticipates that it will calm down when Chester comes back.   “That’s just it – Monks never settle down,” laments Colin, 

"Wherever there's a Monk, there's trouble!"

“Wherever there’s a Monk, there’s trouble – and I get caught in the middle!”

Sam suggests that it takes a special kind of woman to put up with Colin, and encourages him not to let the Monks upset the applecart.

Gwen is interested in the posters

Britt comes in with posters which she intends to put up around the village;  Colin tells her to sit down, as she is tired, and he will do it.

Dol, armed with several large bags, bursts into Anita’s house, saying, “Don’t just stand there like a chocolate teapot – help me!   

"Operation Teach Sam a Lesson"

“This is phase 1 of ‘Operation Teach Sam a Lesson’!”   Anita looks slightly doubtful.

DJ studies the ring

As DJ looks wistfully at the ring, Diane arrives with the casserole;  then Dai tries to assure DJ that Cadno will be all right.   

"She's a strong woman!"

“She’s a strong woman – we’ve seen her handle cattle – like the Terminator!”   Diane tells DJ to try and get some sleep, while she tidies up.

Diane suggests that she should phone Linda to give her the news, but Dai is dead against this;  

"We don't need her around the place!"

“We don’t need her around the place – I’m his father, and he doesn’t need anyone else!”

"Dani, what is wrong with you?"

Sheryl is packing when Dani walks in;  “What is wrong with you – creeping up on me like that?” Sheryl demands, “Have you locked the door?   Anyone could walk in!   Why does everyone have to interfere?   If Esther and I were left alone, we’d be fine!”

"Are you going to tell me what this is about?"

Dani enquires what is the matter, and is informed that Hywel has told the authorities about Esther’s visa.   “It’s not safe – they’ll want to take her away!”   

"You can't go on the run!"

Dani tries to dissuade her from going ‘on the run’;  “You’ll have no job, no money, no-one to help you – you can’t turn your back on everything!   Please don’t do this!   I’m going to phone Hywel – you can’t just disappear from his life.”

"He has given me no choice!"

“He has given me no choice!” protests Sheryl, “I have to put Esther first – you have the Deri and Garry.   Please – Esther has already lost one mother – she can’t lose me as well!   I’m leaving as soon as Rhiannon (Sheryl’s sister) has found somewhere for us.”

"Will you keep it to yourself?"

Dani then agrees that she will keep her mouth shut – but nothing more, and warns her not to leave without saying goodbye.

Sam receives an effusive welcome . . .

When Sam arrives at number 10, he is greeted very warmly by Anita;  “I’ve been thinking about you and me – and I think we’re ready to take the next step.   I want you to move in with me – there’s no point in delaying!”    

. . . which scares him

This appears to scare Sam, but she continues, “I know you feel the same way – we’ll be so cosy here, you’ll never want to go out!”   So saying, she hands him a house key.

"I'm moving in too!"

At that moment Dol comes downstairs and announces, “I’ve finished unpacking.   How are you, Sam?   Has Anita not told you? – I’m moving in too!”   

This is too much for poor old Sam

At this, Sam looks definitely stunned.

Dai assures DJ of his support . . .

When DJ comes downstairs at Penrhewl, Dai tells him, “I just want you to know that I’m here for you – and Diane – day or night.   I wasn’t there when you were a child, 

. . . then reveals his feelings of guilt

“but I was worried that you’d say the accident was my fault, and I haven’t slept a wink.”

This does not go down well with DJ;  

"Is that why you're here?"

“Is that why you’re here?   To feel better about yourself?   The accident was my fault, and I’m going to the hospital, where I should be!   

"I don't want you anywhere near me – or Cadno!"

“I don’t want you anywhere near me – or Cadno!”

Garry is fretting that he should be out, searching, 

"He'll come back when he's ready"

when Hywel comes into the Deri and advises, “Don’t worry, Chester will come back when he’s ready.   

"Life on the run is miserable!"

“He’ll soon find out that life on the run is miserable!”   When Garry has gone, he tells Dani, “I understand – if anything like that happened one of mine . . .”

He suggests putting out an appeal on CwmFM, as although only local, it might help.   

She almost says something

Dani almost, but not quite, tells Hywel about Sheryl’s plans.

Sam is becoming increasingly uncomfortable as Anita concedes that it is a lot to take in.   Dol adds, 

"We're going to get on like a chapel on fire!" 

“We’re going to get on like a chapel on fire, the three of us!   

"We could all cwtch together!"

“Maybe we could all cwtch together, come Winter, to keep our toes warm!”   

Sam jumps up, having suddenly remembered that he needs to be somewhere, and heads for the door;  

"Don't forget your key!"

“Don’t forget your key!” Anita reminds him.

Dani visits Britt

Dani goes to see Britt, who is very upset at Chester’s continued absence;  “I changed his bed earlier, just in case,” she sobs, 

"He should be home, not out there!"

“He should be home, not out there – he thinks he’s tough, but . . .”

Dani offers advice

Dani suggests, “Don’t you think that you and Garry should be there for each other?”   As Britt is becoming more agitated, Colin asks Dani to leave.

"I'm going to stay out of his way!"

Diane tries to convince Dai that DJ will come round, eventually, but he intends to stay out of DJ’s way to avoid making things worse, 

"Right, I'm off to APD"

and heads off to work.

Dani appears to have had a change of heart

Dani’s mind has now been changed;  “Esther should be with you,” she tells Sheryl, “How can I help?”

Colin is amused by Sam's predicament

Colin greets the news of his father moving in with Anita with amusement, but Sam regards the idea of settling down as very frightening.   

"The sea always came first"

“When you were a boy, the sea always came first – Dilys wanted to have me at home, but I refused!”

"Hello, Linda!"

After some thought, Diane makes a phone call;  she says, “Hello, Linda – Diane here.”

"Don't leave – I'm just getting to know you!"

Sam has packed his bags, and Colin wonders why he does not simply tell Anita he does not want to move in.   “Don’t leave – I’m just getting to know you!” he pleads, but Sam is determined to go.

Sheryl sounds conciliatory

Hywel arrives back at the salon flat, where Sheryl spins him a tale of believing that he is right, and having had time to think, can now see things more clearly.   

"Everything will be all right"

He once again assures her that everything will be all right;  he goes to Esther, who is crying, 

She carries on with her packing

and Sheryl continues packing her case.
