| Gwyneth signs for a 'next day delivery' |
In the salon, where Diane is having her hair done, Gwyneth signs for the delivery of what appears to be a book;
 |
| Diane wants to know what it is |
when Diane enquires about it, she is told that it is none of her business. “You look like a little girl on Christmas morning,” she says,
 |
| "Some things are worth waiting for" |
and Gwyneth replies that some things are worth waiting for.
Diane promises that she will not say anything;
 |
| "I'm a councillor - I know how to keep my mouth shut!" |
“I’m a councillor – I know how to keep my mouth shut – and you’re bursting to tell me, I can see that!”
 |
| "Promise you won't say a word!" |
After some thought, Gwyneth demands that she must promise not to say a word to anyone; “I’ve found out something about Cassie –
 |
| "Or perhaps I should say Cassandra" |
“or perhaps I should say Cassandra,” begins Gwyneth.
 |
| As usual, Anita is raising objections |
At Y Felin, Kelly has again packed to return to the café flat, and again Anita is expressing her doubts about the move;
 |
| "I can't avoid that flat for ever!" |
“I have to do it, Auntie Neet – I’m only going down the road. I can’t avoid that flat for ever!”
 |
| "A lot has changed since last week" |
Anita protests that she has tried it once, and it did not work, but Kelly is adamant, “A lot has changed since last week.”
Anita is convinced, “You’re doing this because I fuss too much, aren’t you?”
 |
| "Not totally, no!" |
and is told that is indeed part of the reason, but it is mainly that she has to stand on her own feet, and get things ready for the expected baby.
“I don’t want any more ‘buts’ – I’m going, and I’m going today! Please let me do this!” Kelly insists,
 |
| "Why are you so stubborn, Kelly?" |
and Anita wonders why she is so stubborn.
 |
| "Like Auntie, like niece, perhaps?" |
“Like Auntie, like niece, perhaps?” is Kelly’s reply.
 |
| "What you do is none of my business" |
When Gwyneth returns to number 9, Cassie wants a word with her, to apologise for last night, but is told that what she does is none of Gwyneth’s business.
 |
| "My pseudonym is Cassandra Auburn" |
Cassie says she feels strongly about being honest with people; “My pseudonym is Cassandra Auburn.”
 |
| "Not performing at the Eisteddfod, are you?" |
Gwyneth innocently asks if she is performing at the Eisteddfod, and Cassie does not think she would win, but does write in her spare time.
 |
| "Novels – romantic ones" |
“Novels – romantic ones – it started off as a bit of fun, a competition in a magazine, but I realised that I could make a bit of money – some pocket-money, that’s all.”
 |
| "Cassie Morris writing dirty books!" |
“Who would have thought it? Cassie Morris writing dirty books!” grins Gwyneth, but is informed that they are not dirty; everyone has a secret talent.
 |
| "Can we keep this between ourselves?" |
“One thing – you know what people are like around here – can we keep this between us?” Cassie asks, and, of course, Gwyneth agrees.
 |
| "She writes books – Cassie?" |
Meanwhile, the ‘tight-lipped’ Diane is at Maes-y-Deri, passing the news on to Kath, who responds, “She writes books – Cassie?”
 |
| "I understand they're pretty – well – you know!" |
Diane understands that they are pretty – well – “You know! I saw the book with my own eyes – ‘Where Ladies Dare’.” Kath wonders who would want to read such filth,
 |
| "Mind, it did look quite . . . interesting!" |
but Diane remarks, “It did seem quite . . . interesting!”
 |
| "All those affairs she had behind Teg's back!" |
Kath informs her, “It will be a best seller, if it’s her own story – all those affairs she had behind Teg’s back.” Diane remembers her with Hywel Llywelyn;
 |
| "Rod the plod – and your brother-in-law!" |
Kath adds, “And with Rod the plod, and your brother-in-law too!”
 |
| "Not with Dic?" |
Diane was not aware of this, and exclaims, “Not with Dic!”
|
| "Yes – during the wedding of Jean McGurk and Glan!" |
Kath enlightens her that it was during the wedding of Jean McGurk and Glan. “Dai will have a heart attack when he finds out,” Diane predicts, and Kath imagines that everyone else will when they find out about this book.
 |
| "Don't you dare tell anyone!" |
Diane swears her to secrecy, in much the same way she herself was. “It’s a good job I know how to keep my mouth shut, then,” says Kath.
 |
| Kelly is serving in the café |
In the café, Kelly brings Dylan and Jason their drinks, and Dylan regrets that he will have to cancel their pint tonight, as he must go back to Swansea.
 |
| "I've got a date with Zöe" |
“I’ve got a date, as it happens,” he explains, “With Zöe,”
 |
| "What – the ex you said you'd never go back to?" |
and Jason reminds him she is the ex he said he would never go back to. Dylan says that it is complicated.
 |
| "Oh, aye – checking up on me, are you?" |
Anita comes in, and Kelly enquires, “Oh, aye – checking up on me, are you?” but Anita replies that she has brought some post for Kelly,
 |
| "It's a light for the baby's room" |
who explains, “It’s a light for the baby’s room – I ordered it online.”
 |
| "Big things – like a cot" |
Anita considers that she should be thinking about ordering big things like a cot, and she confirms that it is on the list.
“Have you managed to go upstairs yet,” Anita wants to know,
 |
| "It's been very busy in here this afternoon" |
and Kelly says that it has been very busy so far this afternoon.
 |
| Guto is being instructed to do some research |
Kath and Brenda are standing over Guto as he types on the laptop; “Cassandra what?” he asks them, as his grandmother remarks about the novels being risqué. “You’re not making me watch porn, are you?” Guto demands, and Kath describes them as romantic novels with a bit of kick.
 |
| "A couple of tips on what to do with your girlfriend" |
“Perhaps you should read one or two of them,” Brenda tells Guto, “To get a couple of tips on what to do with your girlfriend.” He cannot find the name, and Kath points out that there is a double S in Cassandra.
 |
| "I was up to my ears in nappies at your age!" |
She then asks the name of the lucky girl, and Brenda informs her that she is Luned Fflur; “Be careful, both of you,” Kath advises, “I was up to my ears in nappies at your age!” Brenda says that she was young having Gerwyn, and Kath remembers that it was not easy getting the pill then.
 |
| "I've got things to do, all right?" |
Guto has had enough, and tells them to look for the book themselves, maintaining that he has stuff to do; he is also warned not to say a word to anyone.
 |
| "It's not much of a secret if the books are on sale" |
Brenda does not consider it much of a secret if the books are on sale, but Kath points out that she has been sworn to secrecy by Diane.
 |
| "We only started talking last week| |
In the café, Jason tells Dylan to give him plenty of notice for buying a suit for his wedding, but is told that it is early days; “We only started talking again last week.
 |
| "I don't want to make the same mistakes as last time" |
“I don’t want to make the same mistakes as last time.”
 |
| "You're supposed to be at APD" |
Before he can elaborate on the mistakes, Sara comes in, and had expected to find Jason at APD; “Aren’t you going to ask how the interview went?” she wonders, and he says she can tell him after work.
 |
| "I'm sure you'll land the job" |
Dylan enquires about the interview, and is sure that she will land the job,
 |
| Kelly has summoned up the courage to go upstairs . . . |
pointing out that Jason is a very lucky man. In the background Kelly can be seen going upstairs to the flat,
 |
| . . . and Sara will follow her |
and Sara thinks she ought to follow.
 |
| Kelly is initially hesitant |
Kelly pauses anxiously at the top of the stairs and looks around;
 |
| "Are you moving back in?" |
Sara comes up and says, “You disappeared before I could say hello. Are you moving back in?”
 |
| "You were too busy flirting!" |
“Well, I would have told you, but you were too busy flirting,” Kelly replies.
 |
| "Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" |
Sara asks if she is sure she is doing the right thing, and Kelly describes last week as,
 |
| "I was being a drama queen!" |
“Silly – I was being a drama queen –
 |
| "I'm positive I'm OK" |
“I’m positive I’m OK!” Sara will make a cup of tea while she unpacks,
 |
| Something catches Kelly's attention . . . |
but as Kelly turns,
 |
| . . . her wedding photo |
she sees the wedding photo of herself and Ed.
 |
| "Don't hurry back, will you?" |
At number 9, Dylan is packing his bag for the weekend; Brenda is glad that the sofa will be available for her use, and tells him not to hurry back.
 |
| "Says the woman who has taken the spare room" |
“Says the woman who has taken the spare room,” he comments,
 |
| She seems to be under the impression she helps around the house |
but she insists she gets a room in return for helping around the house, pointing out it is expensive to raise two kids.
 |
| "You should put your hand deeper into your pocket" |
She suggests that he should put his hand deeper into his pocket; “Spend money on your family, instead of posh cars to show off.”
 |
| Guto thought the house was empty |
Guto and Luned come in, and were under the impression that everyone was out. Brenda assures them that she is on her way to the Gin Club, and Dylan is going to Swansea,
 |
| Brenda disappears |
so they will be able to have the house to themselves.
 |
| Gwyneth appears quite engrossed |
Gwyneth seems to be quite captivated by that book,
 |
| "Right, I'm off to Gin Club" |
but has to hide it when Cassie comes downstairs, on her way to the Gin Club.
 |
| "You might get some inspiration for your writing" |
“You might get some inspiration for your writing,” Gwyneth suggests, but Cassie says that she tends to write about herself and the romantic experiences she has had on holiday.
 |
| "Alfonso in Tenerife" |
She recalls, “Alfonso in Tenerife – I got a lot of inspiration from him,” but she tries to dissuade Gwyneth from reading her books; “I don’t want you to get the wrong impression of me!” she argues.
 |
| Gwyneth returns to the gripping book |
As soon as Cassie has gone, Gwyneth returns to her avid reading.
 |
| Kelly's mind is elsewhere |
Sara wonders if Kelly needs any help with clearing Ed’s stuff,
 |
| "You've done enough already" |
but Kelly says, “You’ve done enough already – I’d better do it myself –
 |
| "Get some doughnuts from the café – I'm starving!" |
“if you want to be useful, get some doughnuts from the café – I’m starving!”
 |
| Kelly hides away the two photos |
Summoning her courage, Kelly picks up the two photos from the sideboard and puts them into a drawer.
 |

Cassie thinks she might as well cancel the Gin Club, as she has only two participants this evening, but Diane has been looking forward to the Rhubarb Gin all day.
 |
| "Kath has too much reading to do!" |
Brenda says that Kath is not coming, as she has too much reading to do.
 |
| "I didn't know that Kath Jones could read!" |
“I didn’t know that Kath Jones could read!” remarks Cassie,
 |
| "Kath loves a bit of romance!" |
but Brenda maintains that Kath loves a bit of romance, and cannot stop talking about it.
 |
| Cassie recommends the Seville orange gin |
Anita arrives, slightly late, and is recommended to try the Seville orange gin, which is very nice with Prosecco.

| "We're not . . ." |
Guto protests that he and Luned are not . . .
 |
| "I'll let you get some peace" |
and as she comes downstairs, Dylan picks up his bags and leaves them to have some peace.
 |
| "I thought he was here for the night" |
“I thought he was here for the night,” Luned remarks;
 |
| "How about we go out for a walk?" |
Guto nervously suggests that they go for walk, but she would prefer a cwtch on the sofa –
 |
| "Or we could go to your room . . ." |
or perhaps go to his room.
 |
| "I'm starving – let's go to the chippy!" |
He suddenly decides that he is starving, and should probably go out to the chip shop. Luned looks disappointed.

 |
| Anita is told about the novels |
In the corner, Anita has now been informed about the novels,

 |
| "Now you're telling everyone!" |

 |
| "I don't need to – you're pretty – you're clever! |
She points out that he does not know how the interview went, but he insists, “I don’t need to – you’re pretty – you’re clever!”
Actually she was pleased with the interview, and the other two applicants appeared to be straight out of college, so he assumes they have no chance.
 |
| "Shouldn't we wait until I get the job?" |
“Don’t you think we should wait until I get the job?” she asks, and he replies that he will be away all weekend, finishing the job at Morawel.

He congratulates her.
 |
| The Gin Club, as usual, degenerates into laughter |

 |
| "Us ladies need to be a little bit daring, don't we?" |
“Us ‘ladies’ need to be a little bit ‘daring’, don’t we? Why don’t we have another gin – with more spice?”
 |
| An affliction which comes to us all |
Diane is laughing so much that she has to visit the toilet,
 |
| "You've told everyone, haven't you?" |
and on her way Gwyneth confronts her, as she has told everyone about the book.

Diane flatly denies that she has done any such thing. “I hope you’re telling the truth,” Gwyneth snarls,
 |
| "The next time they drink gin will be at your funeral!" |
