Kelly is having problems putting on her shoe
Kelly is having trouble putting on her shoe in the café, and is very relieved to see Iolo coming in;  
"Thank heavens – the cavalry has arrived!"
“Thank heavens – the cavalry has arrived!” she exclaims, “I’ve been trying to put this on for five minutes.”   
Iolo is pleased to help
As Iolo slips on the shoe quite easily, she continues, 
"That's why single people aren't supposed to have babies"
“That’s why single people aren’t supposed to have babies – there is no-one to help them put their shoes on – or listen to them moan on about heartburn and stretch marks.”
"Why were your shoes off?"
He asks why her shoes were off anyway;  she replies that she saw a cobweb and was too exhausted to get the stepladder.   
"You shouldn't be standing on a chair!"
He is angry that she stood on a chair, so she warns him not to start;  
"I've reached the baggy tent stage"
“I’m fed up because my clothes don’t fit me any more – I’ve reached the baggy tent stage!”
"You may need a new dress anyway"
He suggests that she may need a new dress anyway, for when they renew their wedding vows.   “No way?   How exciting!” she squeals,
"Any excuse for a party, Iol!"
“Any excuse for a party – go and get a coffee, and water for me, because I’m not standing up.”
"Debbie and Gwyneth – no!"
In the chip shop, Kath continues to spread her misinformation;  Britt cannot believe that Debbie and Gwyneth are in a relationship.   “That’s what I heard!” Kath assures her, “And it’s starting to make sense – she’s moved in there now.”
Britt wonders where she heard this news, 
"It's all over the village"
and is told, “It’s all over the village – everybody’s talking about it.”   
Colin is in the back of the shop, and is very sceptical about this latest rumour.
"Lived with Gwyneth for five minutes – and now she's bisexual?"
“She’s lived with Gwyneth for five minutes, and now she’s bisexual?” Britt scoffs, adding that she is quite busy, but she would rather be in that Jacuzzi in the hotel.  “That place was heaven on earth!”
"The credit card's taken a hammering"
Colin is looking at the bill, and comments that it cost a fortune;  “The credit card’s taken a hammering!”   
"We shouldn't have had all those extras"
Britt thinks that they should not have had all those extras, but he is confident that there is no need to worry, as Garry is paying, and he knew it was an expensive place before he offered to pay.
"Hywel is on the case about compensation"
He goes on, “I know things are a bit tight at the moment, but Hywel is on the case about compensation after the explosion – everything will be hunky-dory, you’ll see!”
"It will be nice to have a day for the two of us and Greta"
Iolo tells Kelly, “It will be nice to have a day for the two of us and Greta, creating new memories and drawing a line under everything that’s happened.”
Mark throws the post on to the counter . . .
Mark comes in and simply throws down the post on the counter without a word, then walks out again, 
. . . which Kelly finds surprising
much to Kelly’s amazement.   She does not know how much help she will be with planning for this occasion, 
"As long as you and the baby are there . . ."
but Iolo assures her that as long as she, and the baby, are there, they will be very happy.
"Bad luck on Mark, isn't it?"
Kath is eating her chips outside the shop, and comments to Gerwyn, whose hairstyle seems to have changed, that it is very bad luck on Mark, 
Mark continues on his round
who is continuing on his round opposite.   
"His wife having a fling with another woman"
“You’ve heard about Debbie, haven’t you?   His wife having a fling with another woman – and he had no idea!”
"I didn't know about that"
Gerwyn did not know about this, but again Kath alleges that it is all over the village;  he warns her not to listen to gossip, 
Debbie is trying to keep a low profile
but then Debbie emerges cautiously from the door of number 9.   “She moved in there fast enough, didn’t she?” Kath points out, but he replies that she probably had nowhere else to go.
“Mind you, I’m not surprised – you learn a lot about people when you live with them!” Kath mutters, and walks away, munching her chips.
"Does the Councillor have time for a chat?"
Colin enters the Deri and approaches Hywel;  “Does the Councillor have time for a chat?” he asks, “About the compensation for the explosion.”   
"I haven't got much time today, Col"
Hywel says he does not have much time today, and points out that these things take time;  the right information has to get to the right Councillor.
"Can you give this to Garry, please?"
Then Colin takes the bill to Dani, asking her to pass it to Garry;  she immediately looks at it.
Out in the street, Britt is clearing up the rubbish left behind by her customers, and comments, “Pig!” just as Mark is passing.  
"Oh, sorry – not you, Mark!"
“Oh, sorry – not you, Mark!   The boy who was here earlier – there’s a bin over there!” Sorry to hear about you and Debbie.”
"It hasn't been easy"
He replies that it has not been easy, but she insists, “There’s no shame in it, you know – 
"A lot of people never suspect a thing"
“a lot of people have found themselves in the same situation, and never suspected a thing.”   
"What's she on about?"
He looks rather puzzled by her words.
"No way, Garry!"
Dani rushes upstairs and shows Garry the hotel bill, snarling, “No way!   You said you would pay for the room – not for room service, Indian head massage, aromatherapy, facial!   Who do Colin and Britt think they are?”
"They have been under a lot of stress"
He explains that he promised, and they have been under a lot of stress recently, but she emphasises that everyone has been under the same stress.  
"They raided the minibar every day!"
“According to this, they raided the minibar every day as well – nobody touches minibars in hotels, because they charge a fiver for a can of pop!”
He admits that perhaps he should have explained things better, but she is quite adamant that they should not have been so cheeky.   
"We'll pay for the room, but not the extras!"
He wonders what he is going to tell them, and she advises, “Whatever you want, OK?   We’ll pay for the room, but not the extras!”   She marches out of the flat.
Pregnancy is taking its toll on Kelly
Kelly tells Debbie that the baby is playing up today;  
Mark does not know what to say
when Mark comes into the café, he looks awkwardly at Debbie.   
"How's Ricky?"
She enquires about Ricky, and is told that he is enjoying himself, meeting people and going out every night;  
"I'm not sure if he's got a girlfriend yet"
“I’m not sure if he's got a girlfriend yet – he’s mentioned a Lucy a couple of times.”
"Coffee and an eclair, please, Kelly"
Mark asks Kelly for a coffee and an eclair;  
"Coffee and a calorie hit on the way"
“Coffee and a calorie hit on the way,” she answers.   
"You would think she had more sense, Mark!"
Dani has come in and comments that she is sorry to hear about him and Debbie;  “You would think she had more sense!” she adds, but at that moment, Kelly is doubled up in pain.
"My waters have broken!"
She loudly announces to all the customers, “My waters have broken!”
"We will not pay all that!"
Garry has gone to the chippy flat, where he informs Colin that he will not pay;  
"But you promised, Garry!"
“But you promised, Garry!” is Colin’s anguished response.   
Garry rages, “I’m not paying for room service – £12 for a burger, £20 for a curry – without mentioning the mini bar!”   
"We had to eat, didn't we?"
Colin sheepishly points out that they had to eat, and is told, “That’s what supermarkets and takeaways are for!   And since when are facials essential?   And who had the Indian head massage?”
"Well, I was a bit stressed after the explosion"
Colin confesses that he was a bit stressed after the explosion, and Garry indicates, “I’ll pay for the room and breakfast – 
"But you're paying the rest!"
“but you’re paying the rest!”
Kelly is escorted to the car
Kelly is rushed out of the café by Dani and Mark;  
"My red bag's up in the flat!"
she panics that everything she needs is in her red bag up in the flat, so Mark will fetch it.   “I need my birth plan, and the calming wave sounds CD!”   
"Does it look all right?   The baby is on the way!"
Debbie appears and asks if everything is all right;  Kelly wails, “Does it look all right?   The baby is on the way!   What am I going to do about the café?”   
Debbie will deal with the café for her
Debbie will lock up for her, and is told, “You need to turn off the coffee machine and clean it – the cakes on the counter go in the fridge!”   Debbie assures her that she knows what she is doing.
"This is all wrong – it shouldn't be happening!"
“This is all wrong – it shouldn’t be happening!” wails Kelly, but Debbie points out that the baby seems to have other ideas.   “Auntie Anita is still away, and I haven’t got cover for the café!   I’m not ready to have this baby” Kelly continues.
"You've got loads of time, Kelly"
Dani stresses upon her that she has loads of time, as the contractions have not started yet;  “You’re going to be fine – all right?   Get in the car, please.”
"I'm sorry about what happened to you guys"
Kelly does not stop babbling, “I’m sorry about what happened to you guys – I thought you were a lovely couple – a match made in heaven, actually.”
"Exciting or what?"
Dani gets into the driving seat, and exclaims, “We’re going to meet this baby – exciting or what?”   
They leave for the hospital . . .
They drive away to the hospital;  
. . . while Mark and Debbie go their separate ways
Mark and Debbie look at each other, then go their separate ways.
"Look what I found in Aaron's bag!"
In the chip shop flat, Britt is in rather a state, as she has found a letter in Aaron’s bag;  “A letter from Gaynor, saying that the children can’t come to the village at lunchtime – 
"Positive attitude towards healthy food"
“to promote a positive attitude towards the school’s provision of healthy food.   What are we going to do?   30% of the chippie’s money is made at lunchtime – that will go down without the schoolchildren!   
"Blinking Gaynor!"
“Blinking Gaynor!   You’d think that walking down to the village at lunchtime would be good exercise for the children!”
Colin wonders how to break the news
Colin has other things on his mind, and urges her not to panic;  
"Garry won't pay for the extras, only the B&B"
“Garry – he won’t pay for the extras, only the bed and breakfast.   I thought he was going to pay for the whole lot.”
"You should have checked before we raided the minibar!"
“You should have checked before we raided the minibar!” Britt snarls at him, but he nevertheless assures her that there is no need to panic;  
"We'll sort something out, Britt"
they will sort something out.
“How?   We’re about to lose a quarter of the chippys profit – and on top of that, we have a huge hotel bill to pay!   
"And Christmas is just around the corner – great!"
“And Christmas is just around the corner – great!”
"Sorry about you and Debbie"
Mark sits at the bar, and Hywel commiserates with him about Debbie;  “Not you as well!” Mark groans.   
"It must be difficult with them living so close"
Hywel knows it must be difficult with them living so close, but he should move on, as that is the best thing to do.
"Them?   Who does he mean?"
“Them?” says Mark, and then Gerwyn comes in for a pint;  he can see something is wrong.   
Then Gerwyn comes in, saying the same thing
Mark explains, “It doesn’t help when people say . . . Britt earlier, Dani and now Hywel.”   Gerwyn thinks people do not know what to say, as it is quite an unusual situation.   
"Couples separate every day"
“Yeah, well, couples separate every day,” says Mark.
"Debbie and Gwyneth being in a relationship"
“It’s a lot to deal with, in the circumstances,” Gerwyn points out, Mark demands what these ‘circumstances’ are.   “Well, Debbie and Gwyneth,” he replies, “Being in a relationship – everybody knows.”
Mark cannot believe what he is hearing
Mark thinks for a moment and then enquires where this information came from.
Beans on toast
Britt prepares beans on toast, 
Colin creeps up on Britt . . . 
as Colin creeps up on her, in a werewolf mask.   
. . . but she does not think it funny
“I’m not in the mood for jokes!” she angrily tells him, but he describes it as a business plan.
"Use Hallowe'en to promote the business"
“Hallowe’en is on Thursday, isn’t it?   Why don’t we use the night to promote the business?   This is a marketing opportunity – you know, different foods – 
"Bogeyman Burgers, Frankenstein Fish"
“Bogeyman Burgers, Frankenstein Fish, games, apple bobbing and . . . it will be fun.”
"We have to do something to attract customers"
She concedes that they have to do something to attract customers, 
"Is that a 'yes', then?"
and he takes that as a ‘Yes’!
Kelly was not at the hospital very long
Dani arrives back in the village, and as Kelly gets out of the car, Iolo says he heard that the baby was on the way.   
"Stubborn little thing doesn't want to budge – typical bloke!"
“Stubborn little thing doesn’t want to budge – typical bloke!” Kelly moans, 
"I'm going to be induced tomorrow"
“I’m going to be induced tomorrow if the contractions haven’t started.”   While Dani moves the car, Iolo helps Kelly upstairs;  she says that it was really scary.
"Oi!   I want a word with you!"
Mark is very angry as he arrives home;  “Oi!   I want a word with you!” he tells his mother, “You can’t keep your nose out of my business, can you?”
"What are you going on about?"
Kath maintains she does not know what he is going on about;  
"You told everyone that Debbie and Gwyneth are having an affair!"
“I’m going on about the fact you’ve told everyone that Debbie and Gwyneth are having an affair!” he continues, “You can’t deny it!”
"I had to say something, didn't I?"
“I had to say something, didn’t I?” she rages;  he points out that she did not have to say anything – but as usual, she could not help herself.
Very gradually, Kelly is lowered . . .
Up in the café flat, Iolo gently lowers Kelly 
. . . to the sofa
on to the sofa, and thinks he will stay there overnight, just in case, although she argues there is no need for that.  
"What happens if you start having contractions at 3:00am?"
“What happens if you start having contractions at 3:00am?   I shall be here!” he promises.   
Dani has put the red bag in the bedroom
Dani comes up, having put the bag in Kelly’s bedroom.
Now Kelly wants to get on with some work
Kelly wants Iolo to get the laptop;  “I’ve got orders and receipts to sort, and loads of other things.”   He says she is supposed to be relaxing, but she wants to get everything sorted first, before she relaxes.
"I thought I had another four weeks"
“I thought I had another four weeks, so there is a lot to do,” she adds, and Dani points out that she has had a very exciting day, 
"Just put your feet up for a while, Kelly"
so she should just put her feet up for a while, before she goes into Alan Sugar mode.
"This can't have been easy for you, Dan"
Kelly tells Dani, “Thanks – you’ve been a real trooper today – and it can’t have been easy for you.   I couldn’t have done it without you.”   Dani is just glad that she could help, 
"Mind that you put your feet up, right?"
and instructs her to put her feet up.
"I'm going to meet you sooner than I thought"
Kelly strokes her stomach and realises, “I think I’m going to meet you sooner than I thought.
"That Debbie's the lowest of the low!"
Kath shouts at Mark, “This is all Debbie’s fault!   I said from the start she’s the lowest of the low – she’s a cheat, a liar – and what was that wedding about?   She said Josh was paying – 
"Drugs paid for all that!"
“drugs paid for that, just like the money we found in the sofa – drug money!   Pushing drugs and getting youngsters to help – and, listen to this, putting her own son’s life in danger!   
"What kind of mother does that?"
“What kind of mother does that?”
"None of us are as bad as her!"
Mark replies that none of them are angels, but his mother insists, “Perhaps not – but none of us are as bad as her, I’ll tell you that!   Ricky understands – he doesn’t want anything to do with her.   
"She deserves everything she gets!"
“Forget about Debbie – you’re better off without her – she deserves everything she gets!”
Mark thinks, silently
