| Diane and Jason are ready for the trip |
Jason and his mother come out of APD with their cases, and Diane is worrying whether she has enough plasters; he urges her to relax, and she asks if Sara is having fun with her friend.
 |
| "I'm not sure when she will be back" |
“When will she be home” she asks, and he is not sure what her plans are.
 |
| "Who is this friend, then?" |
Then she wants to know who is this friend, and he improvises, “Denise – an old school friend, who has moved back to Trimsaran.”
Diane thinks she had better get some more plasters, and while she is gone,
 |
| Sara only just avoids Diane |
Sara comes round the corner;
 |
| "Any problem with Ifan – just phone me" |
Jason assures her that if there is anything wrong with Ifan, she is to phone him straightaway.
 |
| "Enjoy yourself" |
She tells him to enjoy himself and heads to the café flat,
 |
| She makes a point of ignoring Dylan |
on the way meeting Dylan, who she ignores.
 |
| "Where is everybody, then?" |
Kath, who is approaching with Beti and Madge, wonders where everyone is; “Aren’t we leaving at ten?”
 |
| The rest of the party are arriving |
Cassie is also coming towards them, with a large wheeled case, and says they are lucky she is coming at all, as she does not feel very well.
 |
| "If I have to go, so do you, Cassie!" |
She would like to get out of this, but Jason tells her, “If I have to go, you have to, Cassie! Don’t worry, we won’t have to talk much, because one thing this lot can do is talk!”
 |
| Diane comes back with the plasters |
Diane returns with more plasters – and a bandage, just in case; Llinos has also joined them.
 |
| Sara is on the sofa . . . |
Sara is dozing on the sofa,
 |
| . . . and Kelly gives her Bircher oats |
and Kelly brings her some Bircher oats; “Because you’re forgetting to eat at the moment.” Sara complains that she has a headache, because she drank too much wine last night.
 |
| "Multi-coloured pregnancy tights – and I can't blame the wine!" |
Kelly confesses that she ordered some multicoloured pregnancy tights on her phone last night; “And I can’t even blame the wine!”
 |
| "Dylan and I kissed yesterday" |
“Dylan and I kissed yesterday,” says Sara, grimacing;
 |
| "Why didn't you tell me?" |
Kelly is very upset that she has not mentioned it before;
 |
| "I feel awful!" |
“I’ve just seen Jason and Dylan – I feel awful!” Sara adds.
 |
| "You're a dark horse, Sara!" |
Kelly calls her a dark horse, and wants to know all the details; “I can’t give you friendly advice if I don’t know all the facts –
 |
| "Come on, spit it out!" |
“so come on, spit it out!” Kelly insists.
 |
| They have just arrived in their minibus |
The Writing Club have reached their destination, and a white minibus can be seen in the background.
 |
| "I thought we had to put a tent up!" |
DJ was under the impression they had to put up a tent, but Brenda has other ideas; “Where’s the pub, then? It will be the Gin Club on tour.”
 |
| "No gin yet! Creative class number one!" |
She is informed by Diane that there will be no gin yet; “We have creative session number one now – haven’t you read the timetable?” Brenda considers she will be much more creative with a glass of gin in her hand.
 |
| "You're like a drip, Jason!" |
As they continue, Jason is at the back of the queue and his mother asks what is wrong with him; “I don’t know what to do with any of you – no-one’s read the timetable, and you’re like a drip!”
 |
| "She's like a sergeant major!" |
Becoming even more officious, Diane instructs them all to put down their bags and they will get started; Anita moans, “She’s like a sergeant major,” and DJ confirms that she is loving it. They make their way inside.
 |
| "Do you think I should tell Jason?" |
“Do you think I should tell Jason?” Sara asks, and Kelly answers that, if they were not on a break, then she should;
 |
| "Perhaps technically – but this is not black and white" |
Sara may technically have cheated, but this is not all black and white.
 |
| "Why are you being so hard on yourself?" |
Picking up her bag, Kelly continues, “Why are you being so hard on yourself? You’ve been through hell with Jason the last few months – you deserve a bit of fun!”
 |
| Then Dylan turns up – again |
Then they hear Dylan coming upstairs, and Kelly announces, “I’ve got to go to Carmarthen, but the flat is free all afternoon if you need more . . . chats.”
 |
| "Sorry I ignored you earlier" |
When they are alone, Sara apologises for ignoring him earlier, because Jason was there.
 |
| "Any chance of a cup of tea?" |
He wonders if there is any chance of a cup of tea.
 |
| Diane tries to call the meeting to order |
The Writing Club are in a large circular room and are told to sit down by the increasingly officious Diane;
 |
| Brenda says she is intolerant to something |
Brenda sneezes and explains that she is intolerant to something.
 |
| "The subject is 'My Family'" |
Diane distributes writing pads and pens to all participants; “The subject I want you to write about today is ‘My Family.’ You can write a poem or a story, I don’t mind – as long as it’s full of feeling and honesty, because writing from the heart is what delivers the best work, isn’t it, Cassie?”
 |
| "Someone has swallowed a dictionary!" |
Kath mutters that someone has swallowed a dictionary,
 |
| "Kath Jones -write!" |
and is admonished by Diane; “Kath Jones – write!”
 |
| "Poor Jason!" |
Noticing that he is looking downcast, Anita comments to Cassie, “Poor Jason!”
 |
| "I had a shock as well – he and Sara have separated" |
“I had a shock as well,” she replies, and after some encouragement, eventually reveals, “He and Sara have separated – they’re having ‘a break’ – but, whatever you do, don’t tell anyone!
 |
| "No? I won't say a word" |
“I thought everyone knew.” Anita cannot believe her ears, and confirms that she will not say a word.
 |
| "Making tea is not your forté" |
Dylan is drinking his cup of tea at the café flat, and tells Sara that making tea is not her forté; “Jason says I make a nice cup of tea,” she protests. He raises the subject of the kiss,
 |
| "It was silly – I don't know where it came from" |
and she replies, “It was silly – I don’t know where it came from.”
 |
| "I am a friend of Jason's" |
He likewise regrets it, and feels bad because he is a friend of Jason’s; they agree to forget about it,
 |
| They hug – as friends? |
and he invites then to hug, allegedly as ‘friends’.
 |
| Jason sits, thinking . . . |
Out in the open air now, Jason is sitting, thinking,
 |
| . . . while DJ looks concerned |
watched by DJ,
 |
| The kissing starts again |
while we see that in the café flat, that hug is developing into something more; they are kissing increasingly passionately.
 |
| Jason has nothing to write about 'Family' |
Jason has written the word ‘Family’ at the top of his sheet of paper; he does not add anything else, and looks devastated;
 |
| Next stage: remove her cardigan |
meanwhile Dylan is removing Sara’s cardigan.
 |
| Brenda is still sneezing |
Out in the garden, Brenda is still sneezing, and Anita wonders to what she is allergic; “All you’ve done since we got here is sneeze and cough.” She replies that she is intolerant, not allergic,
 |
| "I can't tolerate you, either!" |
and Anita mutters under her breath, “I can’t tolerate you, either!” Brenda does not want to take tablets, and maintains that it will settle down in a minute.
 |
| "I've just heard something terrible!" |
Anita turns to Kath, and first of all instructs her that this must be kept to herself; “I’ve heard something terrible – Sara and Jason are going to break up for a little while. Awful, isn’t it?”
 |
| "Of course, I won't breathe a word" |
Kath is horrified, and of course promises not to breathe a word.
 |
| "Fancy going to the pub, DJ?" |
Jason proposes going to the pub, but DJ warns him that his mother would kill him,
 |
| "Do you think it's a good idea to text her?" |
and, as Jason is composing a text, he goes on, “Do you think it’s a good idea to text her?”
 |
| "I'm not sending a text – it's a picture" |
Jason points out that they have agreed not to send messages to each other; “But I’m not sending a text – I’m sending a picture of this place.”
 |
| "Cassie can be trusted" |
Jason confirms that Cassie knows about their break, and is confident that she can be trusted.
 |
| "Do you want comething to drink?" |
Dylan asks Sara if she would like something to drink, and she decides upon squash;
 |
| She receives the message from Jason . . . |
then a message arrives on her phone – the photo which Jason has sent, followed by the words, “Remember when we were forced to stay in a barn?”
 |
| . . . and Sara is seized with guilt |
She immediately feels guilty.
 |
| DJ with his less than literary contribution |
DJ reads his piece on the subject of ‘My Family’;
“I have a longing for my home afar,
Every quack, every moo, every baa.
But have no fear,
The memories I have here are clear.”
 |
| Kath obviously does not think much of that . . . |
Apparently Kath regards this as quite bad, but Diane describes the lovely touches about Penrhewl;
 |
| . . . but Diane is very complimentary |
“The Grass growing, and the longing for the animals. You should come to the Writing Club more often, you know.”
 |
| "Diane thinks she's the Meuryn" |
Anita comments to Cassie, “I think Diane believes she’s the Meuryn.” [the judge of a Welsh poetry competition]
 |
| "Mine doesn't rhyme, though" |
Next Kath is detailed to read her contribution, and explains that she has a poem as well; “Mine doesn’t rhyme, though.”
 |
| Kath reads her poem |
“Important, treasure, feet in slippers,
A cuppa? Are you making one? Lovely!
But suddenly – silence – no family – crying.”
There is applause, although Anita cannot understand the poem,
 |
| That was interesting – and modern" |
and Diane says it was very interesting and modern.
 |
| Cassie is not feeling too well |
Cassie admits that she has not written anything, as she is not feeling great, so Jason is asked next,
 |
| "Sorry, Mam, I didn't feel inspired today" |
but he apologises that he has not written anything either – he did not feel inspired today.
 |
| "That was a rather flat end to the session" |
“Well, that was a rather flat end to the session,” Diane groans, “A half-hour break now, and then we’ll meet back here. We shall be playing creative games.”
 |
| "I can see you're pretty fed up" |
They all leave the room except Jason and Cassie; she says she has a headache, and can see that he is pretty fed up as well.
He informs her that Sara has left Bryntirion since they last spoke;
 |
| "I'm just afraid she'll never come back!" |
“She says she wants space – I’m happy enough to give her space – I’m just afraid she’ll never come back!” He gets up and walks out of the room.
 |
| "Champagne, lobster?" |
Dylan asks if Sara fancies a pizza; “We don’t have to have pizza – you can have what do you like – Champagne, lobster.”
 |
| "I've slept with a guy I barely know!" |
She replies, “I’m married, and I’ve just slept with a guy I barely know! It’s true – I don’t know anything about you. I can’t eat a pizza like a teenager, and pretend nothing’s happened.”
 |
| "We could just chill out" |
He asks when she is collecting Ifan; “Kelly said the flat is free all afternoon – we could just chill out, you and me.” He kisses her again,
 |
| "Come on, Miss Uptight!" |
and says, “Come on, Miss Uptight, I’m starving – what toppings do you want on your pizza? Because, if I order, who knows what you’ll get? Lobster?”
 |
| "I was so sorry to hear the news" |
Kath approaches Diane, and says how sorry she was to hear the news; Diane does not know what she is talking about, so she explains, “About Jason and Sara – well, you know . . .”
 |
| "I obviously don't know, so tell me!" |
“Well, I obviously don’t, so tell me!” Diane snaps at her, and Kath says that she heard from Anita that they had broken up –
 |
| "They're on a break" |
or rather, were on a break.
 |
| Diane marches over to Jason |
Diane looks very sternly at Jason, who is chatting to Llinos,
 |
| "What's this about you and Sara?" |
and demands, “What’s this about you and Sara? Say something!”
 |
| "It sounds to me like you already know" |
He growls, “Like what, Mam? It sounds to me like you already know,” and he walks away.
 |
| "Hot enough without the chillies, are you?" |
Dylan asks Sara, “Do you want it?” and she replies that she does not if there are chillies on it; “Hot enough without the chillies, are you?” he remarks, and she regards that as a Christmas cracker joke.
 |
| "I'm only laughing because it's so terrible!" |
He asks if she heard about the woman who had an operation on her pelvis – she turned out to be a bit of hippy, at which Sara laughs, but only because it is so terrible.
 |
| "Lazy afternoon, is it?" |
At that moment, Kelly returns; “Lazy afternoon, is it?”
 |
| Dylan gathers up the pizza boxes . . . |
Dylan get up from the sofa, gathers up the pizza boxes
 |
| . . . and hurries away 'to recycle them' |
and makes a very hasty exit back to Tapas.
 |
| "Sorry to disturb the pizza party!" |
“Sorry to disturb the pizza party!” says Kelly.
 |
| Jason's peace does not last long |
Jason has escaped from the Writing Club and is looking out across the countryside from a conveniently placed gate.
 |
| "Don't you think I should know?" |
His mother approaches, shouting, “Why didn’t you tell me? Don’t you think I should know before everyone else?”
 |
| "I didn't know how to tell you, all right?" |
He explains that it was not his fault; “I didn’t know how to tell you, all right?” Diane intends to ring Sara and sort this out,
 |
| "Keep your nose out of my business, will you?" |
but he angrily responds, “No, Mam – please keep your big nose out of my business for once, will you?”
 |
| "Opened your big mouth, did you, DJ?" |
Then he rages at DJ; “Thanks a lot – you opened your big mouth, did you?”
 |
| "I misunderstood who knew about it" |
but Cassie explains that she misunderstood who knew about it.
 |
| "Thanks, Cassie, that's the last time I trust you!" |
“Thanks, Cassie – that’s the last time I trust you, then!” he snarls.
 |
| "So what happened then?" |
In the Deri, Kelly enquires, “So, what happened while I was in Carmarthen? Is talking all you did? And a cheeky kiss?”
 |
| "Tell me I'm doing the wrong thing, Kelly!" |
“Please, Kelly, I’m a married woman – tell me I’m doing the wrong thing,” but she is informed that she is happy and she deserves it.
 |
| "The old Kelly might have had a go, but . . ." |
Kelly encourages her to enjoy it while it lasts; “I mean it – the old Kelly might have had a go, but after everything I’ve been through,
 |
| "Life's too short, Sara!" |
“life’s too short, and you’ve been through a lot – so you deserve to be happy!”
 |
| Dylan smiles at Sara |
Dylan comes into the pub and smiles at her;
 |
| "Look who the cat dragged in!" |
“Look who the cat dragged in!” Kelly comments, “Oh dear – I think someone likes Dylan more than I realised.”
 |
| "I was only being civil" |
Sara replies that she was just being civil;
 |
| "Being civil – like you were on the sofa?" |
“Being civil like you were earlier, is it? On the sofa. Stop looking at him, for goodness’ sake!”
