| "Are you sure you don't know?" |

 |
| "I just hope he is all right" |
and Cadno replies that she does not, but hopes that DJ is all right.

 |
| The news stuns Iolo |
Iolo is stunned and sits down, asking what happened; “I messed up – I thought I knew best,” replies Tyler,

Debbie has gone to Y Felin, having been told about the gift from the shop;
 |
| Debbie takes exception to all this charity |
“It was charity!” she insists, “When is this going to end, Siôn? Vicky has been going to a food bank – you’ve put a roof over her head, and now charity from the shop – she’s not a refugee!”
 |
| "Well, she doesn't have anywhere to live" |
Siôn points out that she does not have anywhere to live,
 |
| "She could have come back to us!" |

 |
| "Things have gone too far" |
Vicky concedes that things have gone too far, and her mother tells her that if she came home, money would not be so tight.
 |
| "If you accepted Mathew didn't steal your money!" |
Vicky shouts, “If you accepted that Mathew didn’t steal your money, we wouldn’t have to live on charity!”

 |
| "This is where he was going to give her the tablets" |

 |
| "No, let me do this, Dai" |
She stops Dai from marching down to DJ, asking that he leave this to her.

| Mathew shows Vicky the flat |
Mathew shows Vicky the flat on the laptop; Flat 8, Peyton Way, Burry Port. It is on the bus route into town,

 |
| "We shall manage somehow" |
Mathew answers that there are benefits, and they will manage somehow.
 |
| "What if I said you can come back to Maes-y-Deri?" |
“What if I said you were welcome to move back to Maes-y-Deri?” enquires Debbie, “The three of you, like before. I’ve been thinking – you wouldn’t have stolen that money, it’s not like you, and you’ve shown how decent you are by sticking with these two.”
 |
| "You're admitting you were wrong?" |
She even goes so far as to admit that she was wrong, and Vicky stresses that they cannot carry on like this;
 |
| "I'm fed up with the worry, Math!" |
although it would be nice to have a flat of their own, she is fed up with the worry.
 |
| "If that is what Vicky wants, then, yes!" |
Mathew eventually capitulates; “If that is what Vicky wants, that is fine – thanks, Debbie.”
 |
| "The social worker went bonkers" |
Tyler tells Iolo that the social worker went bonkers when he phoned them, but he did not tell them that he let Liv look after Greta while he was at school;
 |
| "I told them I went to peg out the washing" |
“I told them I went to peg out the washing, and she saw her chance. But they were right, weren’t they? Greta should not have been left alone with her. I was stupid enough to believe her – she promised the world! I phoned and texted, but she just doesn’t want to know! I don’t even know if they have a roof over their heads.”
 |
| These biscuits trouble Iolo . . . |
Tyler has been eating biscuits,
 |
| . . . and he has to clear up the crumbs |

 |
| Mark settles down with his pint . . . |

 |
| . . . when he is disturbed by Debbie |

 |
| "We'll have to hide our valuables!" |
“We’ll have to hide all our valuables.” He warns her not to start that again.

 |
| "The pain was too much for her" |
Cadno emphasises that the pain was too much for Linda, and she could not live with it any more. “Are you saying that I’m selfish for wanting to spend more time with her?” he demands, but she tells him that it was hard for her too, having to get those tablets, knowing that Linda had chosen to die right there, in front of her
 |
| "You're braver than me" |
He admits, “You’re braver than me – you always have been. She must have gone, hating me for being such a coward,” he laments,

| Cadno takes out the letter . . . |
but Cadno insists that nothing could be further from the truth, and then takes the letter from her pocket.
 |
| . . . and he asks her to read it |
She reads it to him; “Dear Iwan, I hope now that you’re reading this that I’ve crossed to the other side, that I’m not in pain any more. Please forgive me for going behind your back like this; I didn’t want you to suffer the pain of facing the end with me.

 |
| It seems that Linda had a very valid point |
DJ smiles, as he looks down at that very hole in his Awyr Iach jacket.
 |
| Iolo displays a touch of the old OCD |
Iolo is methodically arranging the plates on the dresser,
 |
| A stag weekend was not a good idea |
and tells Tyler, “I don’t think going on a stag weekend was my wisest idea! I’ve got a hangover from four days’ drinking. I’m so sorry – if I hadn’t been so selfish and left you with Greta, she might still be here.”
 |
| "Liv was determined to leave" |
Tyler tells him not to be silly, as this is not his fault; Liv was determined to leave, and he messed up, but is so glad that Iolo is back.

Then he has a text from Iolo; “Dad, I’ve gone straight home to sort things out with Tyler,”

and he suddenly feels rather lonely.
 |
| "Thank you for being there for Mam" |

“Who knows what Elgan will do when he finds out? But I have to take responsibility for that.”

 |
| "I'll never feel at home here" |
but he responds, “I’ll never feel at home here after everything that has happened – you’ve been so worried about Nicky, and if we can eat or buy nappies – It’s not right. I promise to find a job, and one day I will support the three of us.

 |
| "Are you OK? And Greta?" |
As Tyler is in the kitchen, the phone rings, and he discovers that it is Liv; “Are you are OK? And Greta?
 |
| Looks as if Liv is after money |
“Money? Yes, what ever you want – if you want me to leave you alone, I will – whatever you want! Yes, I know where that is – I’ll see you tomorrow.”
 |
| "Did I hear you talking to someone?" |
Iolo comes down, thinking that he heard the phone,
 |
| "It was the school" |
and Tyler lies that it was the school, who want him in early tomorrow morning.
 |
| They walk to the foreshore |

 |
| "No-one will find out" |
“I promise no-one will find out who gave you the tablets – we’ll keep that between us. So long, Mam – love you for ever.”
 |
| He scatters his mother's ashes . . . |
He scatters the ashes at the water’s edge.
