"Aaron, let's talk!"

Colin is knocking on Aaron’s bedroom door, pleading with him to come out, so they can talk properly;  Garry arrives, 

"He's not happy he can't come to fetch his mother"

and is told that Aaron is not happy because he cannot come to the hospital to collect his mother.   “And that he has to stay with you and Dani for a while,” he adds, 

"It's not easy telling a 13-year-old boy he can't do that"

“It’s not easy telling a 13-year-old boy that he can’t see his mother.”

"Let's talk about this properly"

Garry also bangs on the door and tells Aaron, “Come out, so we can talk about this properly.”   

"I don't want him to think he's being kicked out"

Colin does not want him to think he is being kicked out, but Garry points out that he is a reasonable boy.

"I want to see Mam, OK?"

Aaron emerges, informing them, “I want to see Mam, OK?” but Garry says there is something they need to discuss first;  

"We don't want her finding out about the court case"

neither he or Colin think it is a good idea for his mother to find out about Neville’s court case next week.   

"Don't think I'm turning my back on you"

“We’re worried that it could make her ill again,” explains Colin, “What’s important now is that she gets better – I don’t want you to think I’m turning my back on you.”   

"Yes, it would be easier for everyone"

Aaron understands this, and agrees it would be easier for everyone if he was not in the flat.   He will go and stay in the Deri, 

"I am coming home when she's back, right?"

but he insists that he is coming home when she is back.

Dylan comes to check on Sara

At Awyr Iach, Sara is continuing the clearing up process when Dylan arrives;  he has come to check on how she is, and remarks that it is a nice place.   

"We're sorry we have to leave"

“Yes, it’s been great – we’re sorry that we have to leave,” she tells him, but complains that Jason is not there, as he had to work at APD today.

"Are you OK, after what happened with Hywel?"

He enquires, “Are you OK, after what happened with Hywel?   You looked upset – and he upset Jaclyn as well!”   

"Oh, it was nothing"

Sara replies that it was nothing, and she has rather a lot to do, so Dylan leaves.

"You're not usually here at this time"

In the Deri, Dani comments that she does not usually see Iolo drinking at this time, and he says he has finished work early as they have something important to do;  at this point Tyler joins him, commenting that he is feeling excited.

"Am I supposed to guess, or what?"

Dani is eager to know what is going on, and is told, “Well, Seren might have a new cousin before long – 

"We're going to offer Kelly to help raise the baby"

“we’re having another baby – in a way.   We’re going to offer to help Kelly raise the baby.”

"And live together as a family"

Tyler adds that they would like to to adopt it officially, and live together as a family;  

"Does Kelly know about this?"

“Does Kelly know about this?” demands Dani, and when told that they are going over to talk to her today, 

"No way will she agree!"

warns them, “No way will she agree – because she might be offended that you’re suggesting she can’t manage.”

"You didn't see her crying in the flat"

Iolo thinks that she will be glad;  “You didn’t see her crying in the flat.”   Dani points out that this will change everything, and advises that they cannot use Kelly’s predicament as an excuse to have another baby.   

"Don't be shocked when she says no!"

She hopes that they will not be shocked when Kelly says no.

Are you ready, love?"

In her hospital room, Britt is all prepared to go home.   Colin asks how she is, and she replies that she will miss some things;  

"I like talking to people who understand"

“Like talking to people who understand,” but he points out that she will be able to talk to him.   

"The Care Co-ordinator will be in touch next week"

The doctor informs her that the Care Co-ordinator will be in touch next week, but Colin is concerned that it will not be until then.

"You've done very well"

Britt has her medication, and is told that she has done very well, an improvement which will continue after she goes home.   Britt hopes so, and will go to fetch her paintings from the art room.

"Are you sure she's ready to come home?"

In her absence, Colin demands, “Are you sure she’s ready to come home?”   The doctor replies that it is only natural for him to be worried, 

"She has been assessed, and she is ready"

but she has been assessed, and she is ready.   He worries that she may suffer a relapse or something, and the doctor tells him that the community team will be responsible now.   

"What do I do in the meantime?"

“How do I contact them?” he asks, “What do I do in the meantime?”

"If there's an emergency, take her to A&E"

“If there’s a serious emergency, you’ll have to take her to A&E,” he is told, and is concerned that there will be no contact until next week.   

Colin packs Britt's belongings

He packs some more of Britt’s belongings into a bag.

The villagers are snapping up bargains at the stock clearance

The remaining stock at Awyr Iach is being sold off, 

Kath selects certain items

and Kath is selecting certain items;  

"How much for these – and the sewing machine?"

she asks DJ, “How much do you want for these – and the sewing machine?”   Sara wonders what she wants with a sewing machine, and it is her intention to set up at home, sewing badges and logos and suchlike;  “You’re not carrying on, and I haven’t got a job,” she explains.

"That's worth £300 new"

Sara emphasises that the machine is worth £300 new, but Kath reminds her that it is not new, 

"You'll only throw it in the skip"

and all Sara is going to do is throw it in the skip.   Sara demands £150, Kath offers £75, and they eventually settle for £80 for the lot.

Then Kath suggests, “Or, I tell you what – £80 for the lot in lieu of redundancy – what do you think of that?”   

"You'll get nothing in lieu of anything!"

DJ insists she will get nothing in lieu of anything, so she informs him, “I have to do what I’m doing to survive – £80 – in instalments,” 

Kath also wants to pay the £80 in instalments

and she hands over the first instalment, picks up the sewing machine and leaves.

"She won't get far without this, DJ!"

She is obviously not experienced with electric sewing machines, as she has left behind the power cable, which DJ will give to her.

Britt is discharged from Coed y Glyn 

Britt and Colin emerge from the Coed y Glyn Mental Health Unit, and the doctor wishes them the best of luck;  

"We'll be home before long"

“We’ll be home before long,” says Colin, and Britt cannot wait.   “Are you sure you didn’t need any more information from the doctor?” he goes on, 

"I've heard enough about the treatment and care plan"

and she assures him that she has heard enough about her treatment and care plan to last a lifetime.   All she wants now is to get home.

"How are you feeling, Kel?"

Iolo and Tyler sit at the table in Y Felin with Kelly;  she says that she is feeling, “So-so – I’ll be going to the café later to lock up.”   

"Will you try to go back to the flat?"

Iolo wonders if she will try to go back to the flat, 

"The best thing is to move out"

and she concludes, “I think the best thing for me and the baby would be to move out – there are too many memories there.   Thanks for your help yesterday – and sorry for being such a mess!”

"There was something we wanted to ask you"

After a pause, Iolo hesitantly begins, “There was something we wanted to discuss with you – well, ask you.”   Tyler explains that they are not sure how she will react, so she invites them to try her.

Iolo continues, “You’re on your own,” 

"Yes, that hasn't escaped my notice!"

and she indicates that had not escaped her notice, despite her being blonde.   “Look, Kel, we think the world of you – and we want to help.   

"Why don't you come and live with us?"

“We want to propose to you that you come and live with us, and we help you raise the baby – adopt.”

"Aah – you want to adopt me?"

“You want to adopt me?   Aah!” Kelly laughs, and Iolo suggests they raise the baby together, and perhaps adopt one day.   Tyler says they would like to be fathers to her baby, 

"Don't feel under any pressure"

and Iolo does not want her to feel under any pressure to accept.

Kelly is reduced to tears;  

"That's the nicest thing anyone's done for me, ever"

“That’s the nicest thing anyone’s done for me, ever,” 

Kelly is really touched

and they all three hold hands.

Britt's painting equipment is set up

When Britt arrives home, she finds that Colin has set up her easel, 

"I thought you might like to carry on with the painting"

having thought she might like to carry on with the painting.   

"A cup of tea, or something to eat?"

“Now then, what do you fancy?   A cup of tea, or something to eat?” he asks, but she does not want anything.

"Have you heard from Aaron?"

What she does want to know is, “Have you heard from Aaron?” and he improvises that Aaron is enjoying himself;  “Where in France is he, Col?” is the next question, 

"Er . . . Lilleon"

and Colin does not know what to say, finally coming up with some place called Lilleon.

"I don't remember anything about a school trip"

Britt is very concerned because she does not remember anything about a school trip;  he says that she has had a lot on her mind.   

"Welcome home, Britt!"

Garry comes up the stairs, and welcomes her back.   She tells him that she is feeling confused;  “I don’t remember anything about Aaron’s school trip – 

"I can't believe I've forgotten everything"

“I can’t believe I’ve forgotten everything.”

When Colin goes into the kitchen to put the kettle on, Garry says that he is not sure about this school trip story;  “She might feel better if she saw Aaron,” 

"We have to stick to the story, Garry"

but Colin is insistent that they have to stick to the story, and Garry is required to look after Aaron until after the court case.

"Where in France did you say he's gone?"

Britt asks once more, “Where in France did you say he’s gone?   I have never heard of Lilleon!”   

Garry can see this not ending well

Colin explains to Garry that he had to think quickly.

Kelly closes the café 

Kelly is closing the café when Dani comes in and welcomes her back;  

"Did Iolo and Tyler come to see you?"

she asks how Kelly is feeling, and adds, “Did Iolo and Tyler come to see you?   Please don’t be angry with them – they just wanted to help.”

"No, I'm not angry"

Kelly calmly replies that she is not angry, but Dani had thought she would be offended, and had advised them not to ask;  

"They didn't think it through properly"

“As if you’d agree – it wouldn’t be fair on them, either.   I don’t think they thought it through properly.”

This makes Kelly stop and think for a moment, 

"I would never be angry with them"

and she says that she would never be angry with those two.   

"If you need anything, you only have to ask"

Dani reminds her that if she needs anything she only has to ask, and then leaves.

"She's all right, just a bit quiet"

In the Deri flat, Garry tells Aaron that his mother was all right, although rather quiet;  Aaron senses that there is something Garry is not telling him, but he denies this.   

"Can't I pretend I'm calling from France?"

“Can I phone – pretend I’m calling from France or something?” Aaron asks, but is told that his mother is not strong enough.

He looks at Britt's photo on his phone . . .

As Aaron looks at Britt’s photo on his phone, 

. . . and is missing her

he says that he misses her, and Garry agrees that so does he.

Dylan is back, to apologise

Sara is clearing up at the end of the sale when Dylan reappears, and she tells him that they are closed;  he has come to apologise for earlier, 

"I shouldn't have been so nosy"

admitting that he should not have been so nosy.   

"No, I was a bit oversensitive"

She admits that she was excessively sensitive, and he can understand that, today of all days.   He offers to lend her a hand, 

Dylan gets down to work

and is set to work, taking down the shelves.

"OK, so I can't accept your offer"

Kelly visits number 7;  “OK, so I can’t accept your offer,” she tells Iolo and Tyler, “I accepted because I had a meltdown yesterday – and that’s not a good basis.   

"You're amazing – and I'm super appreciative"

“You’re amazing – the best friends anyone can have, and I’m super appreciative – but I want, and I need, to do this on my own.   

"Me and Babs against the world!"

“Me and Babs against the world!   Sorry if you’re disappointed – but don’t think you’re off the hook – I’ll need loads of help!”

"We'll do whatever you want"

They confirm that they will do whatever she wants, and she goes on, “The Babs will need joint godfathers,” 

They are both in favour of this

and they are only too glad to agree.

Britt has her passport and driver's licence . . .

Britt looks sternly at her passport and driver’s licence, then hands them over to Colin;  

. . . which she wants Colin to keep

“I want you to keep them for me – I don’t think I’ve moved on as much as I had hoped,” she tells Colin, “I can’t remember one letter about Aaron’s trip to France!”

"I didn't think I'd forget important things – but I have"

Colin puts that down to the medication she is taking, but she asks, “Do you think I’d try to go and find him?”   He protests that she would not do any such thing, but she continues, “I didn’t think I’d forget important things – but I have.”

"I'm here to look after you"

“Don’t worry, love – I’m here to look after you,” Colin begins, 

She also want him to hide the car keys . . .

but she gets up, goes into the kitchen and hands him the car keys, wanting him to hide those as well, just in case.   

. . . until she starts remembering important things

He asks how long she wants him to look after them, and she answers, “Until I start remembering important things,” and goes to her room, 

Colin is now very worried

leaving Colin feeling very guilty and concerned.

Sara locks up for the last time

Sara locks the door of Yr Antur for the last time;  “There we go – the end of an era!” she tells Dylan, and thanks him for his help.   

"You'll find something before long"

He reminds her, “When one door closes . . . you’ll find something before long, don’t worry,” 

Sara heads back to Bryntirion 

and she heads home to Bryntirion.
