Mark delivers the post to number 10
Mark delivers the post to number 10, and Brenda comments, 
"You and Gerwyn were putting them away last night!"
“You and Gerwyn were putting them away in the Deri last night – are you sure this darts team isn’t just an excuse to go drinking?   Jac won’t be happy if he comes home drunk every week!  
"You have to look after that kidney, mind!"
“And you have to look after that kidney.”
He replies that he has already had a mouthful from his mother, and Brenda advises that he should stay at home with her, like a good boy.   “Mind, you don’t want to be there when she makes those dodgy videos!   I laughed my head off about that!”   
"Mam doesn't think it's funny!"
Mark continues on his round, telling her that his mother certainly does not think it is funny.
Then Brenda sees Jim across the road . . .
Then Brenda notices that across the road Jim is sitting in his car;  she goes over, 
. . . but he looks as if in some kind of trance
but he appears to be staring blankly into space, 
She notices that Huwi is not strapped in . . .
and then she notices that Huwi is not strapped into the back seat.   
. . . and shouts after Jim
Jim starts the car and drives away, without noticing her.
"Oh, isn't he lovely?"
In the shop, Ffion is admiring the new baby, 
He is loving the attention
and tells Anita that it must be a shock to the system to look after a baby again.   
"Once he starts crying, he doesn't stop!"
She answers, “He looks like an angel – but once he starts crying, he doesn’t stop!” Ffion cannot imagine doing that again, as it is such hard work.   
"I can't wait to have a baby" — some tension coming up there, then
Rhys, on the other hand, says that he cannot wait to have a baby, which makes her rather uncomfortable.   Ffion asks if there is a name yet, 
"I hope she'll sort out something when she comes home"
and Anita hopes that when Kelly comes home from hospital, something may be decided.
"How is Kelly?"
As she leaves the shop, she meets Cassie, who asks after Kelly, and is told that she will come home on Monday;  “They want to make sure that everything’s all right.
"The baby's all over the place, to be honest"
“The baby’s all over the place, to be honest with you – and last night was pretty bad one.”   
"Mai was just the same at that age"
Cassie remembers that Mai was the same at the start, but she soon settled down, and they change every month at that age.
"You really need to be more careful, Jim"
When Jim arrives home he is scolded by Eileen;  “You really need to be more careful – your head must have been in the clouds somewhere.”   
"I thought I strapped him in"
Jim grumbles that he thought he had strapped Huwi in.   
"Netx time, don't think, just look!"
“Next time, Jim, don’t think, just look,” she advises.
"Dai told me someone's offered half a million for that mural"
“We’re in the wrong job, you know,” he tells her, “Dai told me someone’s offered half a million for that mural.”   
"Dai's pulling your leg"
Eileen is convinced that he was pulling Jim’s leg – that is what Dai is like.   Jim replies that Megan told him the same thing, 
"The Monks will be celebrating Christmas in the Caribbean, then!"
and Eileen assumes that the Monks will be celebrating Christmas in the Caribbean.   There is a knock at the door and Eileen asks Jim to go and to see who it is.
"I was lacking in inspiration"
Siôn apologises to Tyler that he has not quite finished the poem for their ‘renewing the vows’ ceremony, as he was lacking inspiration at last night.     
He demonstrates the first couple of lines . . .
Nevertheless, is proud of what he has composed so far, and quotes,
“Greetings to the two young men as they celebrate, 
We raise a celebratory toast to you today.”
. . . which do not exactly impress Tyler
Tyler looks somewhat underwhelmed by this, and then Mark arrives with the post;  
Mark has a package for Siôn 
he wants Siôn to sign for a package, and Siôn enquires if Ricky is still enjoying himself.   
"Ricky's enjoying himself too much, if you ask me"
“Too much, if you ask me,” Mark replies.   Siôn expects the package to be a book of children’s names, as Anita is itching for Kelly to make a decision.
"Howe are you, Mark?"
“Don’t think I’m being nosy, but how are you?” Siôn asks, “I just hope Debbie won’t have any regrets – everyone was surprised to hear about her and Gwyneth.”   
Once again, Mark has to explain that they are not in a relationship;  
"We're having a divorce – in the long run it's best"
“And if you want to know more about my personal life, we’re having a divorce – in the long run, it’s what is best for the whole family.”   
"Oh, that's a shame"
Siôn remarks that it is a shame, but Mark points out that they are in agreement, and are still good friends, which Siôn finds rather puzzling.
"Kelly must be desperate to see him on Monday"
In the café, Sara is holding the baby, and predicts, “Kelly must be desperate to see him on Monday – he’s so gorgeous!”   Anita agrees, but stresses that he would be even better if he would sleep for his grandmother.   
"I've only visited her once this week"
Sara feels guilty, as she has only been able to visit Kelly once this week;  she has been so busy with Tapas and things.   
'Babi Kelly' behaves perfectly
Meanwhile the baby sleeps very peacefully, and Sara decides, “I’ll go over this afternoon to see her.”   Does she need anything?”
"You could take her some tissues"
Anita says that Kelly has just texted to say she needs some tissues, and there are some magazines that Sara could take.   Anita adds, “And can you try to persuade her to choose a name for this baby?   It’s a bit embarrassing when people ask me.”
"This little family will be able to depend on you"
Sara hands the little boy back to his Gran, and she says, “Thanks for supporting Kelly – I know this little family will be able to depend on you.”
Eileen discusses catering
Iolo and Tyler are at Penrhewl, consulting with Eileen about catering for their ceremony;  “You can be a bit more adventurous, and go for cupcakes,” she suggests, 
Tyler wants to show off, by the sound of things
but Tyler points out they cannot cut the cake if they have cupcakes, and Iolo jokes that he cannot miss out on a photo opportunity.
“It’s an occasion, and we’re celebrating something special,” Tyler goes on, “It would be nice to have a photo of us cutting the cake – a day to remember.”
"How about a heart-shaped chocolate cake?"
Eileen’s next suggestion is that they do not need to have a fruit cake;  “You can have whatever you like – chocolate, lemon, strawberries.   Why don’t you have a chocolate heart-shaped cake, with strawberries and cream on top?” 
"I like that idea"
and Iolo likes that idea, 
"I hoped to have something more classy"
but Tyler hoped to have something more classy.
Eileen does not appreciate that comment, and Tyler now has to get back to school, but thanks her for the suggestions.   
"Not classy enough, am I?"
As they walk out of the door, she closes her cookery book with a bang.
Sara tries to evade Dylan . . .
Sara comes out of the shop and can see Dylan talking to someone;  she tries to escape unnoticed, 
. . . but in vain
but he chases after her, and tells her she has not answered his text.   She gives the excuse that she has had a busy morning, and informs him that she is on her way to see Kelly.   
Despite his pleas, she does not want to meet him, 
"I'll see you when you get back, OK?"
but he demands to see her when she comes back from the hospital;  
"Yes, all right"
she agrees, simply to get rid of him.
"It's not much fun in the winter"
Mark is having a drink at the Deri, and tells Cassie that the fact that it is Friday night makes no difference to him;  “I’ve got another early shift tomorrow – it’s worst in the winter, having to tramp out in the cold and dark.”
"What – drinking again?"
Brenda comes up behind him and comments that he is drinking again;  “I thought yesterday was a one-off!”   
"That boy's depressed – and I'm not surprised"
When Mark walks away, she tells Cassie, “I’m telling you – that boy’s depressed, but I’m not surprised, with his wife going to live with another woman.”   
"That is not what happened"
Cassie puts her straight that this is not what has happened;  “She was only staying there temporarily – and is currently looking for somewhere else to live.   They were not involved in a relationship.”   
"I knew Debbie wasn't a lesbian""
Brenda suddenly changes her tune, maintaining that she knew Debbie was not a lesbian.
"I won't miss her when she's gone!"
Cassie will not miss her when she has gone;  “I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her!” she snarls, “But I’m not saying anything else.”
"I'll pay for this round"
Jim comes in, followed by Iolo and Rhys, who insists he will pay for their drinks;  they have been planning the ceremony, which is now shaping up.
Jim seems rather uncertain of things
Brenda has not seen Jim since he returned from New Zealand, and he seems unsure of how long he has been back, 
"The people out there are very nice"
but he remarks that the people there are very nice.   He explains that he has been very busy since he got back, 
"Any news from the neurological clinic?"
and then she asks what news he has had from the neurological clinic.
"I haven't had time to go"
He admits that he has not had time to go, but she insists that he has to make time;  “You can’t ignore something like this – you’re talking about your health – it’s the most important thing we have.   
"You don't want to put Huwi in danger, do you?"
“I saw you hadn’t strapped in Huwi this morning – you don’t want to put him in danger, do you?”
"It's only jetlag"  — what – after two weeks?
He mumbles that it was simply because of jetlag, but she urges him to make an appointment, and looks very worried about him.
Dylan is making a nuisance of himself
At Bryntirion, Sara is alarmed when Dylan suddenly comes in through the back door;  
"You can't just turn up here!"
“What are you doing here?” she demands, “You can’t just turn up here!”   He says that she should have phoned him, and does not intend to leave.
"I'm not going until you have looked at this"
“I’m not going anywhere until you have looked at this,” he says, pulling from his pocket some details of a house.   
"I want you to choose where we're going to live"
“I want you to choose where we’re going to live.”   She looks at him incredulously.
"I expect it's Alwyn, to collect his order"
There is a knock at the door of Penrhewl, and Eileen expects that it is Alwyn, Drws y Coed, to collect his order, 
However, it is two police officers
but is surprised to see two police officers, who have come for a word with Jim.   
"Mr James Probert?"
“They suspect you have been drink-driving,” she says.
Sara is becoming agitated;  “I can’t believe this – Jason will be home soon – just go!” she rages, 
"Look at this garden – plenty of space for Ifan"

but Dylan is taking no notice, instead picking out which of the cottages he fancies.
“Look at this garden – plenty of space for Ifan,” he enthuses.   
"How long will it take you to find another woman?"
Sara wonders, after they move in together, how long it will take him to find another woman;  she is not going to risk everything for a fling.
"This is not a fling, Sara"
He is quite adamant that this is not a fling;  “That’s why I’m here – to prove I am completely serious – you deserve to be happy, Sara.”   
"We'll talk about this another time"
She says she is willing to discuss this with him at another time, but as Jason will be home soon, she wants him to go – now.
"You'll think about it – yes?"
He tells her to think about it, 
He gives her a kiss and leaves . . .
gives her a kiss, and goes out through the back door.   
. . . while she looks at the house details
She picks up the property details and looks very confused.
At least his breath test was negative
At Penrhewl, Jim’s breath test has proved negative and the police officers leave;  
"Thank goodness you're under the limit"
“Thank goodness you’re under the limit,” sighs Eileen, 
"Of course I was – I only had one pint!"
and he roars that of course he is under the limit – he only had one pint.   
"You must have been driving too fast, then"
She presumes that he must have been driving too fast, in that case.
Jim is becoming angry;  “I never drive too fast – especially this afternoon – I was stuck behind a tractor and trailer!   
"Some swine who was in the Deri must have reported me!"
“Some swine must have reported me – someone who was in the Deri earlier!”   He rushes out of the farmhouse, to find out who it was.
Mark is less than enthusiastic about the darts
In the Deri, Mark and Rhys are talking about the darts;  
"I shall be busy with the gym until Christmas"
Rhys is busy at the moment, trying to get the gym open by Christmas, but probably after that, he can play.
Tyler has some commemorative rings 
He returns to Ffion at the bar, who is admiring the commemorative rings which Tyler has had specially engraved for the occasion;  “I had this bloke from Cwrtmynach do them for me,” he says, “Mine says, ‘Pure love [Cariad pur] 2019’, and Iolo’s, ‘Like the steel 2019’.”
"I hate to tell you this . . . but"
Rhys is sorry to have to point out that it actually says, ‘Sour love [Cariad sur],’ 
"He's right, you know"
and Ffion confirms this diagnosis.   
"Take them back and give him a spelling lesson"
Cassie advises them to take it back to the man in Cwrtmynach and give him a spelling lesson.   
A supposedly intelligent teacher making such a basic error?
Tyler realises this was why it was cheap, but Iolo says that it does not matter.
“These rings mean a lot to me – now I’ve jinxed things!” groans Tyler, “I just wanted everything to be perfect,” and Iolo is confident that they will be – except, possibly, his father’s poem.   Cassie tells him not to be such a ‘sour’ puss.
Jim comes charging into the Deri . . .
At that moment, Jim comes into the Deri, kicking aside a chair, and shouts, “Who’s the thankless swine that reported me?   Saying I’ve been drink driving?”   
. . . attracting the attention of all the patrons
All the customers in the pub turn to see what the fuss is about.
"I'll give you one chance to confess!"
“Come on – I’ll give you one chance to confess!” he rants, 
"Come on, calm down, Jim"
and Ffion walks forward to try and calm him, advising him to sit down for a while.
"What right do you, an alcoholic, have to report me for having one pint?"
“Was it you?” he demands, “Did you phone the cops?   What right do you, an alcoholic, have to report me for having one pint?”
"Don't speak to Ffion like that!"
Rhys warns him not to speak to Ffion like that, so then Jim accuses him;  Ffion tells him not to be so stupid, as she has only just arrived.   
"It's you – let's have your phone!"
Then Jim turns his anger to Mark, demanding to have his phone.
"Are you off your head or what?"
“Are you off your head or what?” Mark shouts back, “I would never grass anyone up to the cops!”   
"You're making a fool of yourself, Jim!"
Cassie points out to Jim that he is making a fool of himself, but he is convinced that someone is trying to make a fool of him.
“It’s obvious nobody is going to confess – 
"When I find out who you are . . ."
“when I find out who you are, your life won’t be worth living!” he rages, and marches out of the Deri.   
"He's certainly lost the plot!"
Ffion says that he has lost the plot.
Cassie appraises Eileen of the situation
Eileen has been informed about this little episode, and is very apologetic;  “Cassie, I’ll make sure he apologises the second he comes in – I’m so sorry!
"Cassie has just been on the phone"
Jim comes in through the door, looking like thunder, and is told that Cassie has just been on the phone.   
"Someone's got their knife in my back!"
“Someone’s got their knife in my back!” he growls.
"And you thought that shouting and screaming would sort it out?"
She calmly replies, “And you thought that by screaming and shouting, that person would put their hand up and admit it?   
"I'm starting to think you're losing the plot!"
“I’m starting to think you’re losing the plot – not strapping Huwi in this morning – and now this fiasco!   What’s going on, Jim?”
"I can't understand!"
He does not understand, but she informs him, “You can’t react to things like this. 
"You can tell me – and we can face it together"
“Listen, you can tell me if there’s something wrong.   We can face it together.”
"I'm just so angry!"
He is adamant that nothing is wrong;  “I’m just angry that somebody is telling lies about me!” he shouts.
"I can't cope with you like this any more!"
“Well, I’ve had enough,” Eileen tells him, “I can’t cope with you like this any more!” 
She walks out of the room
and she walks out of the room.
