| "Why do I have to go?" |

 |
| "I think I should move back in" |
He predicts, “They would be glad to see us back together again – I hope you’re not having cold feet!” She just does not want anything to go wrong. “I think I should move back in, suggests Eifion, “I want to be with you – you want to be with me – there’s no point in waiting!”

“Cement bags getting too heavy in your old age?” enquires Jason, “When’s Jim coming back?”

| "This was our dream" |
At Awyr Iach, Jason reminds Sara that their dream was to be working together, and this is where he wants to be – with her.
 |
| "Look what working together has done for Dai and Diane!" |
She answers, “If ever there was an advert for couples not working together, it’s Dai and Diane – they always argue!” He interprets this as Sara being fed up with working with him.

| "Better now than running off with him in a year or two" |

“How would you like to be a partner in APD?” DJ points out that he does not know enough about building. “This is exactly what you need!” Dai insists.

| "Cwmderi is the last place I want to be!" |
“I don’t want your help or to be tied to APD – Cwmderi is the last place I want to be!”
 |
| "You took her gold cross too!" |
Mark corners Kath at Maes-y-Deri; “Did you steal from Stacey – yes or no? You took £200, but it’s not just the money – you took her gold cross too, the one Dad bought her when she passed her exams!”
 |
| "I was desperate, Mark" |
Kath argues that she meant to pay it back, but she was desperate and had debts.

“So you’re not here because you’re worried about Ricky,” exclaims Mark, “You just want somewhere to live! You’re not welcome here, after what you did to Stacey – but I know, I can’t throw you out, as this is your house – how many times have I heard that?”
 |
| "I haven't got anywhere else to go!" |

 |

 |
| "What's the catch, then?" |
Jason enquires what is the catch, and Dai informs him that he must come and work at APD immediately. Sara urges him to accept this offer, but Jason wonders how DJ will feel when he gets no share; Dai says he will deal with DJ.
 |
| Sara tries to persuade him |
Sara is eager to seal the deal; “Shake on it now!” she pleads, “You get your inheritance early – there’s nothing to discuss!” Jason however sticks to his guns, and will announce his decision tomorrow.
 |
| "So long then, Mark" |
Kath comes downstairs with her case and says, “So long then, Mark!”

“It’s a bit early to hear whether you have an interview,” he comments.
 |
| "I don't believe it!" |
Then she exclaims, “I don’t believe it!” Gethin assumes she has been rejected;
 |
| "I must phone Gaynor!" |
“No – Gaynor has sent an e-mail about Chester to all the parents! I must tell her to recall it!”
 |
| "This could put you one step ahead!" |
Gethin suggests this may be Ffion’s opportunity; “This could put you one step ahead of her – if you’d made the same mistake, would she help you?” Ffion consider this is taking advantage,
 |
| "When everyone reads this . . ." |

 |
| The idea seems to be growing on Ffion |
Ffion is slowly warming to the idea.
