| "I'll have to come back" |
As Gwyneth comes downstairs with one bag of her belongings, she tells Siôn, “I’ll have to come back – do you hear me?”
 |
| There is no reply |
Receiving no response, she puts down the bag and adds,
 |
| "Don't throw everything away" |
“Things have not been easy, and you’ve been under a lot of stress with everything – but to throw everything away . . .”
 |
| "Just go!" |
Siôn answers, “I said all I have to say last week, and nothing has changed – please just go!” She warns him that he cannot do this on his own, then leaves.
 |
| "Yes, I'll ask Dad this afternoon" |
Tyler has been given a poem by someone in the Welsh department at school, and suggests that Siôn be asked to read it at the wedding; Iolo will ask, when he visits his father later.
 |
| "Calm down, Garry – I'll be straight over!" |
Then he has a call from Garry, who has an unspecified plumbing emergency at the Deri, and rushes off.
 |
| Ffion is out of hiding |
On her way along the street, Gwyneth meets Ffion, who says, “It’s great news about Siôn! You can have more nights in now,”
 |
| "We broke up last week" |
but Gwyneth enlightens her that they broke up last week. She has been staying at the Deri,
 |
| "I've got somewhere in mind" |
but is confident that she has found somewhere for Gwern and herself. She goes in through the door of the Antur.
 |
| "Craig's henchmen have fled abroad!" |
Garry sees Ffion, and assures her, “There’s no problem any more – they’ve disappeared overseas! That says it all about the riff-raff following Craig around. You don’t have to worry any more.”
 |
| Gwyneth did not find whoever she is looking for |
Gwyneth emerges from the Antur, looking disappointed.
Whatever is the problem in the Deri, Iolo reports that he will have to remove the plaster, and will start first thing tomorrow.
 |
| "Chester wasn't on the train!" |
Britt is sitting at the bar, in a very concerned state; “I met the train at Carmarthen, but there was no sign of Chester. I spoke to him last night, and he said he’d be there at midday – he left Newcastle this morning.
 |
| "What has happened to him?" |
“What has happened to him?” Garry agrees to go and check.
 |
| "Jason wouldn't want to share" |
Sarah tells Gwyneth, “No – I don’t think Jason would want to share,” and Gwyneth points out it would only be for a week.
 |
| "We do have an agreement" |
Sara cites the tenant-landlord agreement they have, and Gwyneth proposes a reduction in rent while she was there.
 |
| "Haven't you had a talk with Siôn?" |
“Haven’t you had a talk with Siôn to sort things out?” Sara asks, and is told that Siôn is not interested in talking at the moment.
 |
| "I'll just have to give you notice!" |
“If I don’t find somewhere to live, I’ll just have to give you notice,” Gwyneth threatens, and Sara acquiesces, but stressing it is only for one week.
 |
| Garry knows where Chester is likely to lurk |
Garry searches Chester’s likely hiding-places, but reports back that he is nowhere to be found.
 |
| "Don't involve the cops" |
Britt panics that he has run away again, but agrees with Garry that the police should not be called; “It won’t look good if the cops are involved – one more black mark against his name.
 |
| "I should have gone to Newcastle!" |
“I’m worried that something has happened to him – I should have gone to Newcastle to fetch him!”
 |
| A stealthy figure in Britt's flat . . . |
At that very moment, who should be creeping cautiously into the chip shop flat but Chester?
 |
| . . . sitting on the floor |
He sits on the floor by the sofa, looking somewhat anxious.
 |
| Ffion tries, unsuccessfully, to enlist Siôn's help |
Ffion goes to see Siôn, glad to see him back, and suggests, “Would you be interested in joining a committee to turn Bethania into a Community Centre?”
He laughs, and tells her, pointedly, “I have no interest in the chapel or the village – I don’t want to discuss it! I mean it, Ffion!”
 |
| "I don't want your advice!" |
As Iolo arrives, she warns Siôn not to shut himself out, but he snarls, “I don’t want your advice!” so she leaves.
 |
| "I'm not coming to the wedding!" |
Iolo asks if he will read the poem at the wedding, but is shocked when his father insists, “I won’t be reading any poem – I’m not coming to the wedding!”
 |
| "But, Dad . . ." |
Iolo tries to reason with him,
 |
| "I'm in no fit state to face people!" |
but Siôn points out, “I’m in no fit state to face people after all that’s happened! The people of the village hate me!”
 |
| "It's always about you!" |
Iolo is angered; “Come on, Dad, don’t be so pathetic! I know how you feel, but you need to get a grip on things. Why not accept Ffion’s offer, get out, talk to people, come to the wedding. This is the most important day of my life! It’s always about you – what you want – how people see you!”
 |
| "Are you surprised – with this around my leg?" |
“Are you surprised – with this around my leg?” demands Siôn, “Have you any idea how ashamed I feel?” Iolo replies that he never thought his father could be so selfish, tears up the poem and walks out.
 |
| Britt receives a shock . . . |
Britt arrives back at the flat and is shocked to see Chester there,
 |
| . . . to see Chester, hiding down there |
still on the floor. It transpires that he was on the train, but got off at Swansea, where he wandered around, wondering what lies ahead for him tomorrow.
 |
| "He'll come round, Iol!" |
At number 7, Tyler attempt to cheer Iolo, maintaining that his father will ‘come round’.
 |
| "I'm not thinking about Dad" |
“I’m not thinking about Dad,” Iolo replies, “I just don’t like the whole idea of everything being organised for us.
 |
| "I don't want the wedding!" |
“I don’t want the wedding – so many things are wrong – I’ve got so much on my plate!”
 |
| "But Dani's paid for everything!" |
Tyler says they cannot pull out now, after Dani has paid for everything; “I know the wedding isn’t ideal – but it’s better than no wedding at all.
 |
| "Is this the wedding – or is it us?" |
“Is this the wedding – or is it us?” he wonders. Iolo wants a day of which they can be proud, and which they have had fun organising.
 |
| Garry administers a pep talk |
Garry comes round and demands, “Swansea? What were you thinking? When the solicitor comes over, listen to everything she has to say – do you hear? It’s important that you look on tomorrow as a second chance. You’ll be back at school on Wednesday – that’s what really counts!”
 |
| There is not seriously a Pride and Groom magazine? |
In number 7’s back garden, Tyler shows Iolo a Pride and Groom magazine, and he says there are some interesting ideas on page 36.
 |
| They have changed their minds, yet again |
Iolo is pleased that they are back to organising their own wedding, but Tyler tells him he can break the news to Dani.
 |
| Geraint lends a hand |
Gwyneth moves boxes from a taxi into number 9, assisted by Geraint, the driver.
 |
| Ffion floats her idea about Bethania |
Ffion is passing, and asks her and Sara if they are interested in the committee to plan for the future of Bethania as a multipurpose building; they both give the excuse that they have other plans for Friday.
 |
| "She's just trying to make a good impression!" |
When Ffion has gone, Sara bitches, “She’s not worried about Bethania – she just wants the job at the lifelong school, and is trying to make a good impression!”
 |
| Iolo and Tyler are rather hesitant |
Dani senses that all is not well when Iolo and Tyler come into the Deri;
 |
| "We're not getting married next Thursday" |
after hesitation, Iolo admits, “We’re not getting married next Thursday – just postponing.”
 |
| "But everything is ready!" |
Dani is furious and rages that everything is ready. He explains, “We don’t think we’re ready – I know we’ve caused you a lot of trouble, and we’ll do everything we can to get the money back!”
 |
| "Uh-oh! Garry just heard that!" |
Garry has just walked in;
 |
| "What money?" |
he stops and enquires, “What money?” Iolo tells him he is referring to the £1,200 Dani paid for the wedding;
 |
| "You've spent £1,200 on these two ioncs?" |
Garry turns on Dani and explodes, “You mean you’ve spend £1,200 on these two ioncs without telling me? And now they’ve cancelled? How are you going to get that back?
 |
| "I want it back by the end of the week!" |
“I want it back by the end of the week!”
 |
| Dani is in a bit of a fix |
Dani appears to be rather concerned.
Siôn appears to be bringing all his worldly goods downstairs;
 |
| "I own everything – I can do as I like!" |
he tells Gwyneth, “I own everything – I can do what I want! I don’t want to discuss what I do, or don’t do! My life is nothing to do with you, or anyone else!”
 |
| "Siôn, what is going on?" |
She demands to know what is going on; Siôn pauses on the stairs,
 |
| "Listen to CwmFM tomorrow, then you'll find out!" |
advises, “Listen to CwmFM tomorrow, then you’ll find out!” and goes up for another load.
