10 February 2017

The problem has not gone away . . .
Sheryl checks her hair, 
. . . as shown by all these hairs
and once more finds some caught in her brush;  she is increasingly worried.
"Big night, was it?"
Sara enters the café and asks Vicky, who looks rather under the weather, if it was a big night last night.  Vicky replies, “Yes – as far as I can remember – 
As usual, Gwen is being kept busy
but the kebab at the end was a big mistake!   You saved a fortune, as we had to pay for two taxis – there were me, Hywel, Cadno, Jason – and Miss Perfect!   I don’t think she’ll be coming to the group any more – 
"Cadno was sick in her handbag!"
not since Cadno was sick in her handbag!”   Then Vicky leaves, telling Sara she is sorry that things are over with Jason.
Siôn complains that there has been no sign of Iolo this morning;  
"Perhaps you've got the sack!"
“Perhaps you’ve got the sack!” suggests Gwyneth, rather hopefully, but Siôn is determined to contact Iolo and try to get him to reconsider.
"It's my fault – I should have told him about the house"
“He is my son, and I should have told him straightaway about the house,” he says, but Gwyneth dissuades him from ringing, to let Iolo cool down a bit first, 
"Not another row about the wedding!"
angrily adding that she does not want to get involved in another row about the wedding.
"How's Jason, after last night?"
When Sara goes to Penrhewl to check how Jason is after their wild night, Eifion is far from pleased;  “He’s still in bed – and I had to get the boys off to school!   They were all so noisy when they came in last night – 
"He was carrying some drunk woman upstairs!"
Jason was carrying some drunk woman upstairs – but of course that’s not your business any more, is it?” Sara turns and marches out of the farm, 
Eifion chuckles over his mug of tea
and Eifion grins.
Hywel and Vicky are sitting morosely in the salon;  Hywel says they should organise a darts match against the Bull.   
"Just look at yourselves!"
“Not if you end up in this state!” exclaims Dani, “Just look at yourselves!”   Hywel blames Vicky for ordering all those Sambucas, 
"You should have ended up in A&E!"
and is amazed she did not end up in A&E.
"I can't find Garry!"
Mathew comes in to advise Dani that the PA equipment for the gig has arrived, and he does not know how to set it up.   Apparently Garry is nowhere to be seen, so Dani goes off to the Deri.   
"You were great at the darts match"
Mathew tells Vicky how well she played at the darts match, and would like to go with her on the next night out.   She, however, has a sudden urgent need to rush to the toilet.
Sara brings back the book
Sara takes the book of baby’s names back to Jason at APD, and mentions that she heard he had a late night.   “About two o'clock, I think!” he tells her, and she considers he is too old for that sort of thing;  
"That's up to me now, isn't it?"
“That’s up to me now, isn’t it?” Jason reminds her.
“Yes, I heard that you’ve moved on – how is Melissa’s head today?” she asks.   When he answers that he has no idea, she goes on, 
Sara again jumps to conclusions
“Where are your manners?   Spending the night with someone, and not asking how she is?”
Jason is about to reply, when . . .
Before Jason can refute this allegation, 
"Have my pipes arrived, Jason?"
John Post comes in for the pipes he had ordered;  
Sara makes a hasty exit
when Jason goes to fetch them, Sara leaves APD.
"Ask her on a date"
As they put up the Welsh Dragon banner at the Deri, Dani advises Mathew, “If you’ve changed your mind about Vicky, ask her on a date.”   
"She'd never agree to that!"
He argues that she would never agree to that, so Dani adds, 
"Use your brain!"
“Buy her a present and make her feel special – use your brain!”
Gwyneth hands over money . . .
Gwyneth pays a visit to Hywel and Sheryl, ostensibly to bring a donation for the cause, but mainly to tell Hywel that Iolo has refused to be Siôn’s best man.   
. . . then gets to the point of her visit
“Would you be willing to take his place?   It would mean a lot to Siôn to have a good friend by his side.   I doubt that he will ask you himself, as he’s afraid you’ll refuse too.”   
"I'll go and see Siôn now!"
Hywel is only too pleased to do it, and hurries off to see Siôn at Y Felin.
"I heard about your flirting"
Eifion remarks to Mathew that he heard about the flirting with Vicky last night;  “Cadno’s not too ill to tell tales, then!” snaps Mathew, 
"And all because of that text you sent!"
“She’s a nice girl, but she hasn’t forgiven me for that text – which you sent!”   I was going to ask her to the gig tonight, but I don’t know what gift I can give her.”
Mathew does not want to hear Eifion's ideas . . .
Eifion offers his expertise;  “I managed to get Cadno back, didn’t I?”   
. . . but he does say he knows the perfect gift
He alleges that has thought of the perfect gift for Vicky.
"She went off with a banker from Swansea"
Jason goes to see Sara at number 9;  “You can’t say something like that and then walk away!” he tells her, “I didn’t go off with Melissa – she went off with a banker from Swansea, if you must know!”   
"Well, Eifion told me . . ."
Sara remarks that Melissa was all over Jason, like a rash, in the Deri, and relates what Eifion told her about Jason carrying a woman upstairs.   
"That was Cadno!"
He sternly rebukes her, “That was Cadno!   I’m not jumping into bed with any woman who throws herself at me, just because we’ve finished!   I’m not interested in Melissa’s type – 
"You're my type – you and no-one else!"
I’m not interested in anyone else!   You’re my type – you and no-one else!”
"Did you order this?"
In the salon, Dani checks a delivery;  “Did you order this?   It says ‘Stimulates hair growth from the roots’.”
"What – like alopecia or something?"
Sheryl replies that one of her clients has started losing patches of hair, but is unwilling to reveal who, for confidentiality reasons.   “What – like alopecia or something?” says Dani, 
"I'll do your hair, if you like"
then offers to do Sheryl’s hair as they have no customers this afternoon.   “You could try something modern – and funky!” she suggests.   
Sheryl immediately dismisses the idea;  “You need to sort your roots out before worrying about my hair,” she says, 
"What's wrong with my roots?"
and goes out.
Siôn has not a clue what Hywel is on about
Siôn looks completely blankly when Hywel accepts his offer;  “You are looking for a best man, aren’t you?   
"Best man – here I am!"
Here I am – Gwyneth came over – we’ve been friends for years, and I’d love to do it!   I don’t mind being a substitute for Iolo.”   
"Thank you, Hywel"
Siôn thanks him, but appears angry.
"What's the next step, then – divorce?"
“What’s the next step, then – divorce?” demands Jason.   Sara replies that he knows why things have to be like this, and why she cannot take him back.   
"I've paid a heavy price for that one kiss!"
“Yes, because you want to punish me,” he replies, “I’ve paid a heavy price for that one kiss!”
"My faith in you had disappeared"
She tells him, “When I heard about Vicky, I realised that I was not enough for you any more – the faith I had in you disappeared.   The only way to stop it happening again is to push you away.   
"What if you're tempted again?"
What if you’re tempted again – with someone younger and prettier?   I was naïve to think our relationship was stronger.”
"I promise I'll never hurt you again!"
Jason insists, “We can’t just throw it away – I promise I’ll never hurt you again!”
"Hello – who's this character, then?"
Nicky is having his meal when Mathew calls at Maes-y-Deri;  
"I hoped we could start again"
“I came to give you this invitation, and a little present to say I’m sorry for the way I behaved.   I hoped that we could start again – with a clean slate.”
"A set of darts!"
She opens the box and squeals, “A set of darts?   You think darts will get me into bed with you?   Then you can ignore me – like last time?   
"Go – and take these with you!"
You’re trying to make a fool of me – you’re so childish!   Go – and take these with you!”   
"Yeah – go on, Mam – you tell him!"
Nicky finds this spectacle quite entertaining.
"Why did you ask Hywel?"
Gwyneth returns to Y Felin with brochures for France and Spain;  “Why did you ask Hywel to replace Iolo?” Siôn demands, “You knew I wanted to try to change his mind!   
"I'm starting to think you don't want him there"
I’m starting to think you don’t want him there at all.”
"Do you believe what Iolo said?"
Gwyneth responds, “Are you doubting me?   Starting to believe what Iolo said?   Yes, he might have agreed again – but then what?   He might pull out five minutes before the wedding!   
"I love you so much!"
I asked Hywel, because I can’t stand seeing you disappointed again – because I love you, Siôn, so much!   We can remove my name from the house deeds, if that will persuade you that I’m not marrying you for your money!   Or Gwern and I can find somewhere else to live.”
So Siôn gives in, as usual
As intended, Siôn caves in upon hearing this threat, and agrees, 
"Yes, I love you too!"
“Yes, I love you too, and you’re right – it’s time I accepted Iolo won’t be at the wedding.”
At the Deri bar, Eifion boasts to Dani that he has been giving advice to Mathew, 
Mathew admits he was wasting his time
who returns, and admits to Dani that he has failed.   She is furious when she hears what Eifion recommended him to give to Vicky.
"Ladies and gentlemen – Bendith!"
Then she introduces the band, Bendith, who start to play, before returning to Mathew 
"Why do you listen to Eifion?"
and demanding why he listens to Eifion.
Surprise visitors
The assembled multitude are astounded to see Jason and Sara come into the Deri;  they announce that they are now back together, 
"You've been busy with your wooden spoon!"
commenting on Eifion being busy with his wooden spoon.   
"Nothing works like a bit of jealousy!"
Eifion’s response is, “Nothing works like a bit of jealousy to rekindle a relationship!”
Oh dear, another piece of hair has come out . . .
Sheryl is becoming increasingly anxious 
. . . and Sheryl does not find any reassurance online
as she looks at online photos of people in various stages of baldness.   She closes the laptop when Hywel returns, 
"Is it just milk we need?"
then sends him out for some milk.   
Sheryl is at the end of her tether
She returns to the laptop, and bursts into tears.
