Meic is spreading the word about a co-operative pub

In the shop, Meic tells Ffion that Ed is talking about selling the Deri, which is the centre of the village, and advocates the village buying it;  Ffion is in favour, if they can afford it.   Angela, who is just off on a run, comes in for a bottle of water, and Meic pays for it.   

Colin reckons that Meic has won the lottery

Colin remarks to Ffion that rumour says Meic has won the lottery.

Bad news for Elliw

Elliw eats her toast, and is about to leave for school, when her father announces they are going to Tenerife on Boxing Day, as he found a really good deal, and has paid the deposit.   Elliw thinks up excuses not to go, and when her dad looks forward to sunbathing there, she goes.

Ows not unsurprisingly wants his wages

At the Deri, there is loud and persistent knocking at the door, and Ed, still in his pyjamas, opens up, finding Ows on the doorstep, asking for his wages, which are urgently required.   Ed says he will get the money from the bank later, then they are surprised by the return of Sioned.

Sioned is back;  "Upstairs, please – now!'

“Angela called – why didn’t you phone me to say what was going on?” she demands.   Ed says he did not think she would be interested, but she orders, “Upstairs, please – now!”

There is not much left up there . . .

When she gets upstairs she is devastated to see that some furniture is missing;  “I had to sell the sofa,” he explains, and blames her for leaving three weeks ago.   She then reminds him of his and Gemma’s fire-raising intentions, but he says she would be better going back to wherever she has been.   

"We need to talk!"

“I’m not going anywhere,” she retorts, “Look at the state you’re in!   We need to talk – about us,” but Ed maintains there is nothing else to say.

Meic has bought her this posh parka

Mark delivers a parcel to Debbie in the café, which she is astonished to find contains the parka she was looking at on her iPad, and it is from Meic;  Mark says, “He must be pretty flush – he lent me the money for car repairs last week!”

Tearful Elliw is taken into Ffion's office

In school, Ffion sees that Elliw has been crying, and takes her into the office.   Elliw explains what has happened, and Ffion says she must tell her father everything before he pays the rest of ther money for the holiday.   

It is against the rules, but Ffion will accompany her home

Elliw is frightened that her father will be angry and she manages to persuade Ffion to accompany her home at breaktime.

"You spend half of your life in the Deri!"

Meic meets Gwynfor in the street, and is pleased to hear that he is in favour of making the Deri a community-run pub;  “You spend half your life in the Deri!” says Meic, and Gwynfor replies, “It’s where I spend my money.”   

Meic tells Mark to spend the money on Ricky

When Mark brings the cash to repay Meic’s loan, Meic tells him to keep it, and spend it on Ricky, which Mark finds incredible.

"The dream is over – and we are over!"

As Ed continues his whisky intake, Sioned says there must be some way they can save the Deri;  “You can’t just give up – it’s your dream!”   Ed replies that the dream is over, and they are over;  “You said it all when you packed your bags,” he tells her.

Ows returns, demanding his money, as he has bills to pay, and Sioned agrees to settle up with him later.   When Sioned says they cannot throw away the last eighteen months, Ed replies, “I love you, but I don’t deserve you!”

"He must have won the lottery!"

When Mark reports to Debbie that Meic cancelled his £250 debt, they conclude he must have won the lottery, but Mark warns her not to appear like a gold-digger.

Elliw arrives home with Ffion, but she feels unable to tell her father, so Ffion informs him, 

"There's no easy way to say this . . ."

“There’s no easy way to say this – she’s seven months pregnant.”   As Elliw feared, he shouts at her, asking “Why didn’t you tell me?” but then calms down when he realises, “Because I’d be angry with you.”

Dad calms down eventually

Elliw reveals that she went alone to the hospital for scans, and her baby boy is fine.   Ffion will make sure that she has help with coursework and exams, doing everything possible to support her, adding, “Just as your father will.”   She urges them to focus on how they will deal with this situation.   

A cwtch is just what Elliw needed

When Ffion has left, Elliw says to her dad, “I’m sorry – for everything,” and they hug.

Sioned pays Ows from her own purse

As Sioned pays Ows what he is due, Ed shouts at both of them to get out, picking up Sioned’s bags and carrying them downstairs.   

Sioned, and her belongings, out on the street

He throws her luggage out of the door, and pushes her out.   

"Trouble in paradise," says Colin

“Trouble in paradise,” remarks Colin, across the street, as Angela rushes to help Sioned, and takes her into her house next door.

Debbie is under the impression that Meic has won the lottery but has not told her because he does not trust her.   

"It was only £500 an now it's all gone"

He assures her that his great- uncle from Amlwch left him £500, and it is now all gone.

Debbie says that she would like a multi-millionaire, “But you’re stuck with me – and I do trust you!” adds Meic.

Sioned is determined not to lose Ed

Over a cup of tea at Angela’s, Sioned emphasises that she is not giving up on Ed, and is intent on proving that she loves him and they have a future together.   “I’ll have to find a lot of money – and quickly – I’m not losing Ed!”
