| Anita looks at the photo of Wil |
Anita is looking nostalgically at the photo of Wil when there is a knock at the door; it is Siôn, who thought she might be disappointed that she cannot compete in the Eisteddfod.
 |
| "Better than finding out when I got there" |
“It would have been more disappointing if I turned up on the day and then found out,” she replies.
 |
| "Cinderella can go to the ball" |
“But that does not mean Cinderella can’t go to the ball,” announces Siôn,
 |
| He gives her two tickets |
“I bought you two tickets for the opening concert.” She does not know what to say, but is very grateful.
 |
| "Look, Wil – Cinderella!" |
Brandishing the tickets, she says to the photo of Wil, “Look, Wil – Cinderella!”
 |
| "What's that supposed to mean?" |
Sheryl reads, “After talking to Dad last night and thinking about the trip, I’ve decided not to come. What’s that supposed to mean?”
 |
| "I know it's an incredible offer!" |
As Siôn enters the shop, he is told by Jim, “Anything in the shop, buy three and you get the fourth free! I know it’s an incredible offer, but Eileen and I are feeling generous today. By the way, I don’t bear a grudge for telling DJ about that business with the fridge.
 |
| "Look at the quality of this lettuce!" |
“Look at this lettuce, or those carrots.”
 |
| "Who would buy so much fresh produce?" |
Siôn points out that it is only a bargain if you need four of them, and who would buy so much fresh produce; Eileen suggests someone who keeps rabbits. Siôn is sorry to disappoint them, but he only wants a loaf of bread,
 |
| "You can freeze the other three" |
but Jim reminds him he can freeze the other three.
 |
| Josh is in his element with horses |
At the Royal Welsh show, Josh is befriending a horse; “It’s in the blood – my father understood them,” he tells Debbie and Mark,
 |
| He reminisces about his father |
“For a while he was responsible for ponies underground in the mines.”
 |
| "Its teeth look a bit big" |
Mark does not want to get too close, as the animal has large teeth.
 |
| Mark thinks Josh is pulling his leg |
Josh remembers a horse called Spud, which used to pull his caravan; “When pony trekking was at its height, we used to tame the wild Mountain ponies – the good old days, but you don’t want to listen to my boring stories.”
 |
| "I can't bear another day with him behind the counter" |
Eileen goes round to see Colin; she pleads, “I can’t bear another day with him behind the counter. I know you’ve refused to come back before, but the customers really miss you.”
 |
| "I had a bit of a wobble last week" |
He explains that he had a bit of a wobble last week about the accident, and when Britt comes in,
 |
| "You'd be doing me a huge favour" |
Eileen explains to her that Colin would do her a huge favour if he can back to the shop.
Britt asks him if he wants to go back,
 |
| "I would be helping out with a delicate situation" |
and he replies, “I would be helping out with a delicate situation.” She thinks it may do him more good than brooding up in the flat, and encourages him to try it for a week and see how it goes.
 |
| "Yes, I might as well" |
He decides, “The fact is, money isn’t everything – I might as well, as it would be helping out a friend.”
 |
| Sheryl is stunned |
As Sheryl sits, looking devastated, Hywel reads, “I hope you’re not too disappointed, and you can visit us soon. We’re all looking forward to meeting Esther. Lots of love, Wil.”
 |
| "But it doesn't make sense!" |
Again, Sheryl protests that this does not make sense, and picks up her phone;
 |
| "I don't know what you think you're doing!" |
“Darren, I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but call me back!” she shouts. Hywel points out that it is nothing to do with his father – Wil has changed his mind. Sheryl however is adamant, “His father has stopped him – he may have had a tip-off. Did you phone him, or text him?”
 |
| "I'm quite happy for Wil to live here" |
Hywel is having none of this; “I’ve always been happy for Wil to live here – I’ve told you that.”
 |
| "Only because you knew it was not going to happen!" |
“Only because you knew it wasn’t going to happen!” she snarls. He offers his phone to her, so that she can check; then Esther cries, and he goes upstairs to her.
 |
| Josh meets old friends |
At the show, Josh is catching up with some old friends, but Debbie is afraid that he does not like her company.
 |
| "You could eat your dinner off those urinals!" |
Britt is working in the Deri, and Chester has just been cleaning the toilets; “You could eat your dinner off those urinals!” he boasts, but Siôn indicates he would prefer to use a plate.
 |
| "I've found us somewhere to stay" |
Anita comes in, very enthusiastic, and announces to Siôn, “I’ve found us somewhere to stay, during the Eisteddfod. Jean, Meic’s cousin, runs a guest house in Bodedern,
 |
| "Don't worry – she's got two rooms!" |
“but don’t worry – she’s got two rooms!”
 |
| "Can we discuss this over lunch?" |
Siôn, who is looking concerned, suggests that they discuss this over lunch, but she does not have time, as Wil is due to arrive and she wants to get ready.
 |
| "Ooh, Siôn – you kept quiet about that!" |
As she hurries away, Britt remarks that Siôn kept that quiet; he tries to explain that he bought tickets for her and a friend, but she assumes he is going with her. Britt advises that he should put her right,
 |
| Chester will take the tickets off Siôn's hands |
and Chester volunteers to have the tickets, if they are arguing over them; he predicts that Anita will be so mortified that she will not want to go.
 |
| Jim fumbles with the tins |
In the shop, Jim is dropping tins, and Eileen warns that customers do not want a tin with a dent in it.
 |
| "Colin's asked for his old job back" |
“Listen, I had a word with Colin earlier, he has asked for his old job back.” Jim wonders why as he is made of money now, thanks to Sam.
She continues, “He is bored now – he finds the days so long. Perhaps we could find a post for him,
 |
| "If you worked less – or not at all" |
“if you worked less – or not at all, maybe?
 |
| "Are you sacking me?" |
“I’m not sacking you – I’m releasing you, for Colin’s sake – it’s the least we can do.”
 |
| "I knew you would understand!" |
Without waiting for his response, she goes on, “Thank you, Jim, I knew you would understand! I’ll phone and tell him the good news.” Jim looks rather taken aback.
 |
| Sheryl is bitterly disappointed |
Sheryl sits, toying with a football, and Hywel asks if she has kept the receipt for it. “This isn’t your fault,” she says, “I have phoned and texted Wil.”
 |
| "What's the arrival time of the flight?" |
Then there is a knock at the door, and Anita wants to check the arrival time of the flight.
 |
| "You already knew that!" |
“You’re good, aren’t you?” answers Sheryl, “Wil’s not coming, but you already knew that – someone has scared him off!”
 |
| "I just left a message for Darren" |
Anita informs her that she left a message for Darren, so that they would both be clear on what is going on. She assumed that they had sorted things out.
 |
| "Well, you were wrong!" |
“Well, you were wrong!” shouts Sheryl, and Anita says she did not know he would cancel the trip.
 |
| "Why did you interfere?" |
“Why did you interfere in the first place?” Sheryl demands, “This isn’t over – as soon as I speak to Wil, we can sort it out. I think you’d better leave! And don’t come to Esther’s party tomorrow – you’re not welcome!”
She tells Hywel she does not want Anita anywhere near them, after what she has done.
 |
| "I've been in the members' bar" |
Josh returns to Debbie and Mark, telling them that he has been to the members’ bar, where there were no queues; he adds that this showground is hard work.
 |
| "Go and get a couple of pork rolls" |
Mark tells Debbie to go and get a couple of pork rolls, while they keep the table.
 |
| "What's going on?" |
Then Mark tells Josh that he wants answers; “What’s going on? What's happened in your head? I want to know.”
 |
| "It reminded me of where I belong" |
Josh explains that he has seen a lot of his old friends, and it has reminded him of where he belongs, where he has been all his life.
 |
| "Sometimes I don't recognise myself" |
“I’ve never lived in a house – sometimes I don’t recognise myself,” says Josh, “Look, I want to know Debbie better but . . .”
 |
| Debbie overhears their conversation |
They are not aware of Debbie’s return with the food,
 |
| "You could move back into the caravan for a while" |
as Mark suggests that he could move back into the caravan for a while, as perhaps that would help.
 |
| "I'm being suffocated in Cwmderi" |
Josh replies, “It’s not the caravan I want, but the community. I’ve tried, but I don’t think I can get used to a house – I am being suffocated in Cwmderi.”
 |
| Then they realise she is there |
They suddenly realise who is standing behind them, but she rushes away.
 |
| "Wil isn't coming" |
When Siôn arrives at number 10, he is invited to take a seat, and Anita informs him that Wil is not coming, and that she has put her foot in it.
 |
| "It would break Darren's heart" |
“Sheryl wanted Wil to come back to Cwmderi to live, but it would break Darren’s heart – his place is in Canada. I phoned Darren to warn him, but now Wil is not coming at all.”
 |
| "You've done the right thing, Anita" |
Siôn advises her that she has done the right thing, but she doubts this. He points out that she had to think about her son and her grandson; he would have done exactly the same, and all she has done is to put her family first.
 |
| "It will be nice to spend some time with you" |
She is grateful for this sympathetic hearing, and says it will be nice to spend some time with him outside this village, and get away from all this mess.
 |
| Siôn says he is looking forward to it |
After a moment’s consideration, he agrees, and will study the programme as he does not want to miss anything at the Literary Pavilion.
 |
| "Can't waitto jump into my shoes, can you?" |
Colin comes into the shop, where Jim says, “Can’t wait to jump into my shoes, can you?” As Colin looks puzzled, he goes on, “I don’t know where this leaves me, but I’m glad we can help out.”
 |
| "I thought I was helping you out" |
Colin remarks that he was under the impression he was helping them; “The boss said you can’t cope without me, and that is why you want me back.”
 |
| "I can explain, Colin" |
When Eileen comes into the shop,
 |
| "How long have you wanted me out of here?" |
Jim asks her how long she has wanted him out of the shop, and she glumly replies
 |
| "Since about ten minutes after you started!" |
since about ten minutes after he started.
“The customers like Col – he puts a smile on their faces,” she tells him, and Jim grumbles that he knows when it is time to step down and move over.
 |
| "Best of luck – working with her!" |
“Welcome back – and best of luck to you, working with her!” he groans, and walks out of the shop; Eileen is smiling broadly.
 |
| Siôn reveals that he is going with Anita |
When Siôn returns to the Deri, Chester expects that Anita was angry, and is very surprised when he is told, “Anita is going to the Eisteddfod, and I’m going with her. She’s had one disappointment today – I couldn’t let her down, too. You probably think I’m a coward.”
 |
| "You've been very sensitive" |
Britt remarks that, on the contrary, she considers that he has been very sensitive,
 |
| "Cheers for that, Britt" |
and refuses any money for his half-pint.
 |
| They go in search of Debbie |
Josh and Mark are searching amongst the thousands of people at Llanelwedd, and they find Debbie at a bar. Josh assures her that what she heard was nothing personal,
 |
| "I'm like a fish out of water" |
but that he is like a fish out of water in the house. “You wouldn’t want to live in a caravan any more than I would want to live in a house. You understand, don’t you?”
 |
| He gets a faceful of whatever Debbie was drinking |
Debbie’s unexpected reply, as she throws her drink into Josh’s face, is,
 |
| "Go back to your gypsies!" |
“Go back to your gypsies –
 |
| "You don't have a family in Cwmderi!" |
“you don’t have a family in Cwmderi!”
