Mark, repeating the same nightmare

Mark has had a bad night on the sofa, experiencing a nightmare, and wakes with a start.   

"Get up and look after the bar!"

At the Deri, Gemma has also been sleeping on the sofa;  as she thinks about ringing Mark, Ed demands that she look after the bar, while he collects his car from the garage.

Siôn arrives back from a meeting to find that Britt has been looking into the cult and has discovered that their latest scam is to invest ‘dirty money’ in businesses and property.   When Siôn thinks this is irrelevant, Britt reminds him how Huw went outside to make a phone call, and she has been told by Megan that Carreg Wen was sold to a “telephone bidder”.   

Siôn realises there is a lot of truth in what Britt says

“There was something about him,” she says, “So shifty, and would not look me in the eye, and then his sudden departure.”   She tells Siôn he must talk to Huw.

Mark gets paracetamol for his constant headache

Mark goes to the shop for some Paracetamol, as he is suffering constant headaches, and asks Colin to come round, as he needs some company, but Colin has to mind the shop.

Huw is interrogated again

At number 7, when Huw hears a knock on the door he checks first, to see who it is, then Iolo lets in Siôn and Britt.   Before Siôn can say anything, Britt demands, “Have you bought Carreg Wen?   I’ve read about how the cult put ‘dirty money’ into property!”   

"But you've got their money!" says Iolo

Huw insists that he is no longer in the cult;  Iolo interrupts, “But you’ve got their money!”

Huw shows them the bagful of money, and argues that he deserves it after all the work he did for them.   When he reveals that Anneka knows where he lives, and he was collected from Y Felin eighteen months ago, Britt is keen to get back home, in case they are going to break in.

Diane hears who really bought Carreg Wen

In the Deri, Ed tells Diane that Carreg Wen was bought by Myrddin Contractors, who already own half the county.   

"I'm not going to stay here and be insulted"

Then Garry and Dani come in, and Diane immediately says, “I’m not going to stay here and be insulted — bye!”   Garry tells Ed he wants the Prosecco put back on the wedding menu, and Ed wants the cost to offset the MOT on his car.

Iolo is becoming uncontrollably angry

Iolo is getting increasingly agitated, telling Huw, “Coming back here was a crazy idea!   They’ll be after you.   This is very stressful for me, an upheaval, a total change to my routine!   I was starting to get better before you turned up!   

"Just get out!" he demands

Don’t touch me – just get out!”

Dani begins to get things in perspective

At the Deri, Garry tells Dani that other houses will come up, and they will get a place they can be proud of;  surprisingly, Dani agrees, and even says, “I don’t mind staying in the flat – you’re the most important thing to me.   I’d be willing to marry you in a sack!” then adds, “Perhaps not quite a sack!”

"Mop the floor yourself!   I'm going to see Mark."

Ed scolds Gemma for not smiling;  the customers might think that something is wrong.   She responds that she is going to see Mark, and when he tells her the floor needs mopping, she tells, “Then mop it yourself!”

Iolo is now concerned that he overreacted

Iolo hurries round to Y Felin, as he now regrets what he said to Huw;  Siôn cannot get a reply on the last number he has for Huw, and as they talk about reporting the matter to the police, Huw walks in.   

Huw appears and says he is going to London

Amidst Iolo’s apologies, Huw says that he was quite correct, and announces that he is leaving for London.

Mark tells Gemma about his recurrent nightmare

Gemma visits Mark, and he tells her he has not slept for days, and has a recurrent nightmare that he tries to rescue someone from a burning car, and when he drags the girl out – Sharon, his girlfriend from years ago – he sees she has Gemma’s face.   “That’s how she died,” he says.

Gemma tells him that she just wanted him to know that she is leaving the village, and that she will not bother him again.

Dani makes peace with Diane

Dani goes to Diane’s to apologise for her behaviour;  “I saw the house and went crackers!”   Diane says that, considering the maintenance and restoration costs, they are lucky they did not get it.   Their friendship restored, Diane says, “Do you still need a bridesmaid?”

Huw gives Iolo money for his therapy

Huw tells them he realises how stressful it was for Iolo when he stayed the night, and offers him a wad of money to pay for the therapy he so urgently needs.   

Siôn returns the money;  he and Britt will pay for Iolo's treatment

Iolo will not take it, although Britt urges him to, and Siôn says Iolo should not accept stolen money;  “Britt and I will pay in full for the treatment.”

Just for a moment, Iolo hugs his brother

Huw gathers his possessions, and even briefly hugs Iolo, then his father and Britt, before leaving.

When Gemma gets back to the Deri, Ed asks what she talked about to Mark, and orders her, “I don’t want you to go near Maes-y-Deri, right?”

Gemma replies, “I don’t want to be near you either, or live in this village!   I’m leaving tonight!”

Ed seems to be returning to his old steroid-fuelled ways

Ed roughly grabs her arm and tells her she is not leaving.   “Let’s get this clear – you were here in the middle of the night, with a lighter in your hand.   If Mark hadn’t turned up, you’d have burnt the place down!”

"I didn't agree to anything"

When Gemma argues that was what they had agreed to do, he flatly denies his involvement.   “I didn’t agree to anything, I’d never be that stupid, but you were caught red-handed.   

"Whiter than white" Ed denies any involvement

There’s no evidence to connect me with it.   Now, get the mop and clean the floor!”
