31 August 2011


Anita invites Diane and Eileen for a night out in Llanelli.  Debbie invites herself along.  She also asks Ffion, but she declines, to avoid the temptation of alcohol.  Ffion does however volunteer to drive them there, to save on the taxi fare.  She joins the party but sensibly elects not to drink - no mean feat when the girls are all drinking.  Eileen has a major shock though when the drag act turns out to be Norman!  He recognises her too, and exits the stage quickly - but he later comes over, still in drag, and makes conversation with all the girls except Eileen.

Eileen goes backstage and talks to Norman, more openly this time.  Predictably she asks him if he's gay.  Yawn.  Hardly.  Not with that dress sense.  He says he does it to pay the bills, and he continues that he enjoys it, it's fun.  He never imagined Eileen would turn up to a show like that.

Megan invites herself round to Dai's house, and whilst she is well meaning, Dai is quickly bored.  Megan somehow gets the impression that Diane is an alcoholic, but actually the empty beer cans are Dai's.

Meic is a little melancholic without Anita in the pub.  He confides in Denzil that he wouldn't hesitate to take Anita back.  An interesting happenstance, since Anita has already confided in Eileen that she'd be very happy to give it another go with Meic.  When Anita comes home, they have a little talk, but make no progress.

Wil returns.  Sheryl wants to take Wil and Gethin camping, but Gethin says he has to work.  Dani comes along, and Sheryl invites her and Brandon to come along.

Debbie has annoyed Kevin, by agreeing to close the cafe for a private coffee morning for Megan's charity.  Worse still, she's brought in her own homemade fairy cakes.  Things get worse still when Kevin hands over the bill, and it turns out the cafe is in fact doing the event for free.  Kevin is not happy, he's not only paid for a coffee party but he's lost a morning's trade.  But after some baiting from Probert, Kevin defends Debbie.

Sioned takes Macs to a secluded spot so that the two of them can talk.  She apologises to Macs, and says she is shocked that another man could do such a thing to him.  She tells him she loves him.  They go to a country pub and things seem to be going okay, but then Sioned suggests that they stay overnight at a B&B.  Macs remains frightened of intimacy and he doesn't want to stay overnight.  He asks Sioned to stay at Marian's again.  One step forward, two steps back.

29 August 2011


Lois's baby Gwen comes home, to much excitement.  Hywel doesn't seem to be able to say anything right, and he and Gaynor bicker pointlessly.  He's trying to get involved, but he's finding himself pushed out of the crowd (the crowd being Huw, Lois, Gaynor and Colin).

Colin arrives with a rocking horse.  Considering his granddaughter is barely a fortnight old, he's somewhat early!

Sion is not being supportive towards Huw, but this is as nothing to how he reacts when Huw says he's not going back to school.  Sion is upset that Huw would appear to throw away his career prospects to raise another man's child.  Huw cannot make Sion understand, Sion cannot get Huw to entertain his point of view. Where do they go from here?

Eifion and Cadno continue to make plans for New Zealand, but Cadno's taste in hotels seems to be expensive.

Sioned reappears after a weekend in Aberystwyth.  Iolo is unhappy with her for abandoning Macs when he needs her most.  She's being pretty selfish, and Iolo sets her straight - it's him who is suffering, not her.  She needs to shape up, forget her hurt over the recent past and get behind Macs.

Friday 26 August 2011

26 August 2011


Oh no!  Sioned leaves a card for Macs on the table, it looks like she's leaving him.  Whilst it's easy to be objective and believe that she's behaving callously, she has been under great pressure because of Macs's behaviour over the last few months.  She finds herself at a bus stop, quickly accompanied by Britt.  Britt is not daft, and whilst she says nothing, there is an atmosphere hanging in the air.

Later, Macs finds the letter.  We don't see it.  Britt comes by to see if she can help, but Macs isn't receptive.

Lois goes to see the baby, with Huw and Colin in tow.  It's very emotionally charged.  Lois decides she wants to call the baby Gwen, after Huw's mother - an amazing thing, especially when Huw isn't the biological father.  Lois's maternal feelings quickly kick in, and she wants the baby back, very strongly.

Huw talks to his father Sion, and things don't go well. Even the news of the baby's new name doesn't go well, he does not find it an honourable way for his late mother to be remembered, which is sad.

EIleen goes against everyone's judgment, and goes on a date with Probert.  Astonishingly, things seem to go well until the bill arrives, when Eileen suggests they go Dutch, and Probert suggests she pays it!

Thursday 25 August 2011

25 August 2011


Lois is not-so-quietly shitting herself, as well she might be, her exam results are about to come through.  We won't mention that she cheated on at least one whilst Ffion was too pissed to notice!  Gaynor heads off to the school, as does Ffion.  Huw walks straight past Rhys, to whom he has nothing to say - but don't forget Rhys has only known he's a father for a matter of a week, but Huw has known for ages.

Some soon-to-be former pupils with nothing to lose are taking the piss out of Ffion, brandishing water bottles.  It's really awkward.  Gaynor galiantly offers to step in, but Ffion declines; she doesn't want to make more of it then necessary.  Ffion says she feels just awful about the trouble she caused.  When Lois walks in, it's like the parting of the Red Sea... in she wafts with Huw.  Nevertheless she scored an A*, A, B, B, B, C, C, C and D, D.  Huw is despondent, he got B in Cwmraeg but C in everything else.  Rhys scored five A* and "a heap of Bs".

Anita and Meic are a little melancholy when tickets they ordered months ago for The Sound of Music arrive.  They are both trying, for sure.  Anita suggests they go anyway.  It's obvious that Meic wanted to go together but he can't bring himself to, and he suggests that Anita ask Diane.

Norman helps Eileen on her laptop to take photo and upload it to a dating website.  It should be awkward but actually it's very sweet, and Eileen looks upon him at least as fondly as she did before.  Maybe there is a future for them together.

Later, Eileen is in the cafe, browsing the dating website, but oh Christ!  She finds Probert on it!!  He catches her looking, comes over, looks at her laptop and makes a lascivious remark.  Sadly he suggests he and Eileen go on a date.  It couldn't be much more awkward.

Later when Gaynor suggests people go out and celebrate, there is noticeable tension.  Lois elects to stay in with her father Colin.  He excuses himself after the meal, and Lois has Huw round.  They watch a DVD but she can't concentrate.  She says she is ready to see the baby.

Meic and Anita share a drink after locking up.  Anita is ready to ask Meic to stay, but he isn't ready and leaves, but it's sweet even so.

Wednesday 24 August 2011

24 August 2011


Diane and Anita have a heart-to-heart.  Anita says that the other day, things felt like they were almost back to normal, and she hopes Meic will take her back.

Anita and Colin run into each other, and things are cordial, but awkward.  He says he'll pop round later to collect a few things he left behind.  It's pretty clear that there is no way back for them.

Anita talks to Meic, and says she doesn't expect forgiveness, but she wants very much to try again to rekindle their relationship.  Meic says he needs more time, but he is willing to try again, slowly.

Later, Meic talks to his son Kevin.  Meic isn't sure what he wants.  Kevin counsels Meic to give things another chance, or he will be full of regret, just as Anita is now.

Dai is bored in the house, and unfortunately Diane leaves the new Banc Dyfed credit card lying around.  Before long, Dai is gambling online, and quite a lot at a time too.  Denzil counsels to the contrary but Meic continues, and before long, he's lost £3,000.  Diane is angry, obviously, but Dai gets away lightly!

Debbie starts work in the cafe, and aside from a little friction with Cadno, she seems to be starting well.

Tuesday 23 August 2011

23 August 2011


Gethin is back from London.  He dashes indoors to avoid Sheryl, who is not best pleased.  He later says he wanted to have a wash etc before he spoke to her.  He comes bearing gifts however, some pretty lingerie.

Sioned does some research, and gives Macs some websites and helplines for rape victims.  He just wants to leave the subject, but he's forgetting that whilst it's old news to him (albeit upsetting), it's new news to her, and she's still coming to terms with it.

Macs tries haplessly to rekindle their love life, but he's clumsy, and Sioned tells him to leave her alone.  It's pretty likely that she can't separate him and her, from him and Scott.

Marian sticks her damn beak in and tries to make Sioned tell her what's on her mind, but she won't be drawn.  No bad thing really, since Marian would be incapable of keeping it to herself and expressing sensitivity.  Later Sioned tries to get Denzil to help Marian.  Denzil suggests Macs, but Sioned says no, and tells Denzil that Macs has M.E.  It's a lie of course but it stops him pursuing it.  Denzil suggests a holiday to Sioned, South Africa, why doesn't she take Leighton up on his offer?  He counsels her to enjoy life and to travel whilst she's young.

Jinx tries to make peace with Yvonne and Gwyneth, but whilst one is conciliatory, the other is not, and says that she wants him to move out.  Shocking.  Later, Yvonne and Gwyneth talk, and both are calmer.  Yvonne texts Jinx and asks him to come over.  They say that whilst they'd be the parents, he would have a part in the child's life, like an uncle.  He says he needs more time to think.  He talks to Denzil, who is realistic but gloomy.  Back at Yvonne and Gwyneth's, they reassure him that they won't ask him for money, and they will cross troublesome bridges when they are reached - Jinx agrees.  First donation could be as early as next week.

The lovely Eifion and Cadno tell Kevin that they will now be going away for 3 months, rather than 1.  They plan to work on a farm in Hamilton.

Monday 22 August 2011

22 August 2011


Macs returns to his house.  Sioned thinks that Iolo has thrown him out, but he says he wanted to return to tell her the truth.  She thinks that he is having an affair with some woman, but with a heavy heart he tells her the truth - that Scott spiked his drink, and raped him, and that there was nothing he could do, he couldn't fight back.

She's shocked, frightened, upset and confused.  She can't understand why he didn't report it, but Macs says that if he'd done so, the whole village would know.  She says they will get through it, together.

Later in Y Deri though things are understandably continuing to play on her mind, and she thinks that Scott must be gay, and was gay all along whilst he was seeing Sioned.  Later still at home, Macs admits that he only attacked the guy the other week because he called him a poof.  Sioned tries to make Macs tell the Police or his solicitor this, but he is unmovable.

He apologises for being angry, again she understands.  He says that they haven't slept together for months, she says there is no rush, and embraces him tightly.

Eifion and Cadno tell Eileen and Denzil that they are going to be away for 3 months.  Eileen reacts very evenly, but she's upset, and she has other things on her mind too.

Dani gets some money from the insurance company for the fake burglary a few weeks ago, £2,500, and gives it to ABD.  Brandon suggests that ABD should give Dani a share in the company.  Someone says 1%, but Brandon persists and secures her 5%.  Dani jokes that they'll have to rename it AB-double-D.. funny considering how big her boobs are.

Friday 19 August 2011

19 August 2011


Whilst Dai's fake heart attack should have eased the pressure, things get worse, because Tomas & Ellis cancel the contract with ABD.  The second mortgage comes through for ABD, and it handsomely covers the kitchen for Norman's contract, but with Dai "out of action" there are few people left to install it.

Normans calls in Eileen, to apologise for the shabby end to their last evening together.  He breaks off their fledgling relationship.  He blames his long hours and an inability to relax, and admits that he was fond of another lady some time ago, but couldn't make it work.  It's very nice and civil, but after he leaves, Eileen is very upset.

Meic and Anita have a rare laugh together behind the bar.  When the laugh ends, they look at each other, and it seems there is still something left between them.

Brandon and Dani have a giggle on their sofa, and it seems Dani is very much changing her mind about parenthood, she thinks she would like a child one day, and perhaps to be a wife.

Thursday 18 August 2011

18 August 2011



Norman is on the hunt for ABD, who are in serious financial trouble, thanks to confidence trickster "Frank".  He catches up with Probert, who tells him they are a bunch of cowboys.  The two of them happen upon Debbie being served by Kevin.  Debbie tells Kevin that Eifion and Cadno are going to New Zealand in September, for a month.

Eifion and Cadno realise that there is more to see than can be seen in a month, and decide in fact to go for three months!

Norman finds Dai and Diane, and bawls them out, he's clearly suspicious.  But as things are getting intense, Dai doubles over in pain.  An ambulance is called, and he is quickly rushed to hospital.  Norman calls on Eileen and tells her about Dai.  He takes Eileen to a tapas restaurant in Cwrymynach, but the evening is cut short when Norman claims to have indigestion.

Dai admits he faked the heart attack to get out of the awkward conversation with Norman.  When Norman phones later, Diane over-eggs it and tells Norman that it was touch and go.

Iolo reassures Macs that there is nothing in the Western Post or the more local press about the court case, but Macs decides he must tell Sion because Sioned blabs to him.  Sion comes around with Macs's post from Sioned, and he already knows.  Iolo tells Sion that Macs got into a fight because two guys called him a poof, and that this brought back memories of his attack by Scott.  Sion says Macs should tell the magistrate, but Macs is adamant he will not.  Sion decides to take matters into his own hands, and confides in Britt about Macs.  Britt dashes around to see Macs, and is sympathetic, but Macs is embarrassed and angry with Sion for telling her, after promising weeks ago that he wouldn't.  He says again that he cannot be honest with Sioned.

Wednesday 17 August 2011

17 August 2011


Eifion is worried about what will happen to the farm whilst he and Cadno are away.  He's not very romantic bless him, thank God he looks hot though.

Yvonne has a proper go at Jinx, who slept at Cwm FM to avoid Yvonne and Gwyneth.  She says that he has betrayed their confidence and their friendship, and they are both angry and upset.  Hwyel tells Jinx he'd be a fool to turn down the chance, Jinx says he doesn't know if the opportunity is still open.  He thinks he may have blown it.

Macs gets back from court.  Iolo tries and fails to persuade him to tell Sioned about Scott.   Back at their house, Sioned is confused and angry with Macs, more so when Macs says he is going to live with Iolo for a few days to clear his head.  He spins some story about needing to clear his head.  He says he'd rather be dumped by Sioned than admit the truth that he was raped 2½ months ago.  It just goes to show what a mess he remains mentally.

Gethin and Sheryl get back from their weekend away.  Sheryl suggests several times that Gethin moves in, but he's not keen, dropping excuses about being too busy etc.  She tries to invite herself onto his trip to London, but he shuts her down, saying that she's moving too quickly.  She's a little hurt.

Tuesday 16 August 2011

16 August 2011


Macs is quickly arrested at home for ABH.  Jinx sees him leave and watches carefully, Sioned sees the car driving away and runs after him, to no avail of course.  Sioned phones Cwrtmynach Police but they know nothing about the case, so where has he been taken.  Macs later phones Iolo, and it transpires that Macs is at Swansea Police.  Sioned finds Iolo just as he's hanging up the phone, she wants to go with Iolo but Macs wants Iolo alone.  Later when Macs is back at Iolo's, Sioned bangs on the door, furious that Macs is shutting her out.  He admits he's out on bail and has a plea hearing, but says he's staying at Iolo's tonight, and will explain later.  She is very upset.

Jinx is treated royally by the two lesbians, and he is quickly suspicious that they want something.  They tell him that they want to have another baby, and that they want Jinx to be the father.  He is astonished; he was a homeless junkie just two years ago, but they say it's his strength of character in overcoming his adversity that convinced them.

Jinx goes to Y Deri to celebrate, and unfortunately his tongue loosens.  He tells someone that he's going to be a father, and quickly word gets around.  Mark and Debbie go around to Yvonne and Gwyneth's house, trying to sell Mark as a donor!  They are very unhappy with Debbie and Mark, and unhappy with Jinx for apparently spreading the word around.

Hywel tells his son Rhys that Lois has had a baby (he is in fact the biological father but Hywel doesn't know this).  Rhys visits Lois, and Lois tells him that he's the father.  He's shocked and in disbelief, but Lois assures him it's the truth, and that he isn't playing any part of things now.

Gethin takes Sheryl to a nice country hotel, but disaster soon looks imminent, when Gethin spots someone he clearly doesn't want to see.  He manages to wriggle out of being seen by taking Sheryl upstairs, apparently unseen by the stranger.

Monday 15 August 2011

15 August 2011


Macs tells a whopper of a lie to Sioned, he says that his "test results" are back, and that he is suffering from M.E.  She has not been happy with him as his behaviour has been strange all weekend.  He makes her promise not to tell anyone about his "diagnosis", then shooes her out of the house to run the shop.  He later fakes being asleep, to keep his symptoms up.

Colin and Lois move out, and it's clear Colin has finished at Y Deri.  This leaves Anita in the lurch, as Meic has a dental appointment, and Anita has to go to the cash and carry.  Lois moves back to her mother's house.  She reacts angrily to the news that Huw and Gaynor have been to see the baby.

Ffion braves a visit to Y Deri - courageous or stupid, one or the other - and talks to Anita about how the old Ffion would have been on her third glass by now.  However she buys a bottle of water and leaves fairly quickly.

Gaynor catches up with Ffion, and they have a chat.  Ffion says she has realised how selfish she has been, and that selfish people who desperately want something don't care who gets hurt in the process - strong echoes of Gaynor's feelings about Lois's baby.

Anita offers Diane a job in Y Deri, but Meic has already offered a job to Denzil.  Diane won't back down, and both Diane and Denzil end up behind the bar whilst Anita leaves for the cash and carry.

Friday 12 August 2011

12 August 2011


Macs drives to a house, but a man who looks like Scott from behind turns out not to be him.  Macs had a wheel spanner in his hand, so it seems he's serious about intending to cause real harm to Scott.  He calls at another house, and the woman who answers the door, clearly his mother, confirms that he lives there.  She says that Scott is in Thailand for at least a couple of months, and shows Macs a postcard.  He leaves politely with smiles, but it's obvious that his has fired his anger.  He ends up in an anonymous bar, drinking on his own, and ignoring calls from Sioned.

Macs has an altercation with someone in the bar, who calls him a poof.  Macs punches him repeatedly, giving the guy a nosebleed.  Later back home, Macs is defensive to Sioned's questions about where he has been all day, and it's clear he has bruised from the fight.  He's still showing signs of distress after the rape.

Brandon has finished the repair work at Yvonne and Gwyneth's house.  They talk about having another baby, this time together.  Yvonne suggests that Gwyneth adopts Gwern, so they would both be his legal parents.

Ffion returns, looking hugely better, and she and Sheryl embrace.  When they talk in the cafĂ©, she says it's all down to Sheryl that she's a different person, but also that there is still a long way to go.  Ffion asks Sheryl to remove two wine bottles from the kitchen, to remove temptation.

Cadno tries to surprise the lovely Eifion with flights to New Zealand, but he isn't pleased at the money she has spent, and thinks that she hasn't considered his views or who will look after the farm.

Dani makes a decision to come off the pill, she feels bad for lying to Brandon, and doesn't believe that Garry will tell Brandon about their one night stand in Newcastle.  Her pills are nearly discovered though, and it's a tense moment.

Thursday 11 August 2011

11 August 2011


Gaynor talks to social services, unbeknownst to Lois and Hwyel.  Huw doesn't like going behind Lois's back, but Gaynor says that she is doing it for her.  They go to see the baby, and Huw and Gaynor hold her, briefly.

Sion is angry that Gaynor is, in his view, continuing to keep Huw involved in a baby that he is not the father of.

Macs is going off to speak to a professional therapist about being raped 2½ months ago.  Iolo drives him there, but Macs bottles out, afraid, and walks away.  He late walks back into the end of Huw's argument with Sion, and decides to tell a white lie, and not admit he didn't go.  Macs says he is going to find Scott, and kill him.

Meic is angy with Anita, he feels that she is intentionally refusing permission for things that Meic wants, such as opening early to watch rugby matches.  Meic is adamant that he will not work with Colin, who wrecked his marriage, and that he will make Colin leave.

Anita talks to Colin, who does not react well to being told that he can't work the same hours as Meic, but this won't leave him enough to live on, so he realises he has to leave.  He asks that Anita tells the Social Security that he was sacked, as it'll make it easier to claim benefit.  Anita says that there is no rush for him to move out.  Colin manages to get Iolo to agree to let him and Lois stay for a few days.

Wednesday 10 August 2011

10 August 2011


Huw wants to see Lois, but Colin says that she doesn't want to see anyone.  He prevails however, and Lois agrees to talk to Huw.  Things don't go well however when Huw suggests that they go and see the baby - Lois says she never wants to see the baby again, and stonewalls Huw.

Gaynor uses a hefty dose of what might be called emotional blackmail to get upstairs and see Lois.  That doesn't go well either.

Norman arranges to meet Eileen in Y Deri, but stands her up.  He phones to say that he forgot he has a business appointment - but he's taking a suitcase with him.  What's he up to?  Is he going on holiday, having an affair?  Something isn't quite right!

Meic organises a lock-in after hours at Y Deri, but Colin breaks up the party, followed by Anita, who tells Meic he had no right to organise it without her permission, as it is her name over the door, not Meic's.  Everyone leaves, it is rather hashtag-awkward.

Tuesday 9 August 2011

9 August 2011


The two lesbians' house is rendered virtually uninhabitable by Brandon's building work to remove damp from firstly one then two of the bedrooms.  As a result, Gwern goes to stay with Brandon and Dani.

Probert is happy because he has his daughter to stay.  She tells Yvonne to kiss and make up.

Gethin and Dani talk about ABD's woes.  Gethin suggests using the money they stole in the robbery, but Dani reaslises Brandon would want to know where it came from.

Gethin hasn't spent much time with Sheryl lately, she asks him out to Y Deri, but he doesn't show.  She is cross, and blanks him.  But he persists, and says that he's been working overtime to get the money together to take her away for a day or so.

Dai goes to the bank to ask for a loan to help ABD.  The bank will allow them to remortgage, but only to £20k, leaving them short.  Diane sees the positive, that it's £20k more than they had this morning, but Dai is despondent.

Monday 8 August 2011

8 August 2011


Lois is staying with Colin in Y Deri, but this leaves people in an awkward situation.  Lois doesn't want to see anyone yet.  Whilst Colin is out getting things for her, Gaynor and Hwyel turn up, wanting to see her.  Anita stops them from seeing Lois, as per her wishes, but it creates had feeling.

Dai, Diane, Brandon and Dani get together to try and work out what to do, with ABD's account emptied, they have no money to finish off the contract for Norman, who is already starting to ask questions.  Dani's sarcasm is unhelpful.

Norman is out looking for them.  After getting warning of this they scramble.  Diane and Dani concoct a story that Dai and Brandon are ill in bed with a bug.

Thursday 4 August 2011

4 August 2011


Episode 1

Hywel spots Lois on CCTV footage shown on the television.  Gaynor is pretty upset.  Iolo phones Sion, and tells him where Huw has been hiding out.  Sion is angry and shouts at Huw.  Word quickly starts to spread around Cwmderi.  Macs finds out from Brandon rather than Sion, and he's not best pleased.  Huw can't face Gaynor and Hywel.

Brandon is having a problem with the ABD computer, the password doesn't seem to be working.

Mark talks to Liam again, who remains worried about whether Meic will talk to the Police.  Liam is still very jittery, and jumps at a loud noise.  Meanwhile, Debbie tries to persuade Meic not to speak to the Police.  Liam later speaks to Meic, who agrees that he won't.  Macs and Liam make peace with each other.  Liam decides to head up to Birmingham early.  Debbie is upset by the news.

Episode 2

Dai and Diane find that ABD's card, not Frank's, was registered at the hotel reception, and Frank can't be traced.  The hotel reject ABD's card for insufficient funds.  Brandon phones, and the ABD account has been cleared out to the tune of £40k.  Frank has disappeared.  Dai, Diane and Brandon speak to the Police, and pick Frank's photo out of a Police file, his real name is Neil Watkins, who has been to prison twice for serious fraud.  The Police think it's possible they will get their money back but it could take months.

Lois arrives back in Cwmderi by taxi, and goes to Colin.  Huw returns, and he's confused and upset by her actions.  Gaynor and Huw go to the hospital to see the baby, the hospital are being cautious; they have named the baby Millie, after where she was found (the Millennium Centre).  Gaynor is allowed to have a photgraph taken with the baby.

Tuesday 2 August 2011

2 August 2011

Huw and Lois have eloped to a small flat in Cardiff, and it turns out Iolo is in on the elopement.  Whilst Huw goes out for pizza, Lois appears to go into labour.  Amazingly unrealistically, when Huw returns, she has given birth on her own completely unassisted, to a daughter.  Lois reluctantly allows Huw to call an ambulance, so that the two of them are safe.  However, when his back is turned, she disappears with the baby, and goes into the Millennium Centre.  She leaves the baby in the toilets with a note, asking for the baby to be cared for.  The Police are called, and the baby is taken away.

Liam and Debbie talk, Liam says that he was with his colleague Andy when his leg was blown off by an IED.  Liam has nightmares - but they are about a Taliban man he shot at close range, because he thinks he enjoyed shooting him.

Liam remains troubled, both by what he saw and did, but also his more recent behaviour in Y Deri.  Debbie is worried that if the Police become involved, it could cause Liam problems when he returns from leave.

Dai and Diane are enjoying themselves thoughtfully in the hotel, and they think about the importance of family.  Later, they make contact with some family they haven't seen for a while via webcam.

Monday 1 August 2011

1 August 2011


Episode 1

People are welcoming to Liam, but he's a little shy around them.  For all his niceness, it's clear he's using humour to cover up the bad experiences in Afghanistan.  He flatly refuses to be interviewed by Jinx on Cwm FM, and walks away.  When loses his temper with a milk carton it becomes clearer he has PTSD.

Frank tells Brandon that he's made a payment transfer to ABD's account but needs a password.  Brandon very stupidly gives him two passwords, and Frank writes them down when Brandon's back is turned.  Is Frank a confidence trickster?  When he tells Dai and Diane that he's booked a hotel in Cardiff for them for a couple of nights, they don't seem to think anything is wrong.  Neither do Brandon and Dani, when Frank packs them off for a show.

Episode 2

Macs finds himself under pressure to tell Sioned the truth, but instead he lies, and says his "blood tests" were "lost" and that more are being done.

Huw and Lois elope.  Sion is angry, Gaynor is furious, Colin is upset, Hywel remains pragmatic and practical.  They call the Police.

Debbie and Mark argue with Macs and Sioned over buying a wristband for the Trust.  Liam takes it badly and attacks Macs, he also damages some furniture in Y Deri in the process, and Meic is injured.

Sion comforts Macs, who has a cold cloth to his face.  Macs nearly slips up when he says that Liam is clearly suffering "as well".
