The grand re-opening of the Deri

Siôn puts an advertising board outside the Deri, while Debbie tries to clean the eggs off the café windows;  

"It's probably children from your school!"

she tells Gaynor the perpetrators are probably children from Ysgol y Mynach.   

Anita tells Siôn a thing or two

Anita tells Siôn, “You’ve got big ideas and a lot of cheek!   The pub’s always empty, so I’ve heard.   What punters want is good beer, good food and a welcome.   You could learn a lot from Meic – why don’t you invite him to officially open the place?”

Meic cannot get a word in when Debbie starts

Siôn goes straight to the café and asks Meic to be guest barman for the evening, but Debbie jokes that they do not need to worry about the Deri taking the café’s trade.   

"Sorry, Siôn, the answer's no!"

Meic refuses the offer.

Garry wants another consignment of contraband collected

Garry instructs Gethin that there is another van-load to be collected from Fishguard and unloaded at the lock-up, tonight.   Gethin says he is unable to do it until tomorrow, as he is going out.   Garry will not leave the van there overnight, and threatens to get someone else to do the job, and in the end Gethin agrees to go.

"You're being too nice to me!"

At the café, Meic wants a word with Debbie, as she is being too nice to him, whereas last week she was after his blood;  “People will be asking questions,” he says, “Can’t you treat me as a normal person?” but Debbie says he is far from “normal”.

"You've got a stag night and best man to organise"

Dani, who is putting on her fancy dress, tells Garry he has a stag night and best man to organise;  when he suggests one of the lads from Newcastle, she suspects they would run off with the ring.   

"That Gethin's sister's really dodgy!"

Garry tells her, “That Gethin can’t be trusted either – his sister’s really dodgy!”

She is worried that Garry always seems angry with Gethin, and she does not want him going away again, but he assures her, “Gethin’s not going anywhere.”

Anita has a nap

Anita is asleep on the sofa when Meic gets home;  she tells him he ought to add, “Stop snoring,” to his list, 

"Remember to put the toilet seat down!"

and he says another thing is, “Remember to put the toilet seat down.”

He tells her that Siôn White asked him to open the Deri, but he refused.   Anita reminds him he would not be doing it for Siôn, but for the village.   

Perhaps he ought to accede to Siôn's request 

He does not want to see the Deri close, and, “If people see you behind the bar, they might put the bad blood behind them.   This is your opportunity to save the Deri.” 

In the Deri, Siôn is pointing out to Sheryl that Hallowe’en dates back to the Celts, which is why he is dressed as a Druid.   Sheryl, dressed as a witch, says she would like to turn Gethin, who is late, into a frog.   

Gethin apologises for his lateness

When he arrives, as a bearded wizard, he apologises that Garry sent him on a job.   Hywel and Gaynor come in, as Batman and Catwoman.

Meic gives his opening speech

Siôn is surprised when Meic arrives, rings the bell and welcomes them, saying that the customers are uglier than the ones he used to serve – and the bar staff are not much better.   “My days behind the bar with Anita were the happiest of my life,” he says, and then officially reopens the Deri.

Debbie accuses Anita of being after Meic's money

Anita is overwhelmed by his speech, and goes home;  soon Debbie goes to see her,  and tells her she knows about the cancer.   She accuses Anita of wanting to remarry Meic as, being his wife, she will get everything.

Anita assures her that she proposed to him because she loves him;  she has to arrange a wedding, and immediately afterwards a funeral.  

"Do you really think I want that?"

“Do you really think I want that?” she asks, at which Debbie apologises and leaves.

Count Dracula and his fiancée

Garry arrives as Dracula with his fiancée, and wonders why Siôn is wearing a home-made Druid costume.   

A couple of under-age trouble-makers

Garry tells Siôn he will not have a licence for long if he serves underage drinkers, indicating a couple of boys, whom Siôn ejects from the bar.

Sheryl is put off by Gethin's advances

Gethin begins to be rather amorous towards Sheryl, but she rejects his advances and goes home.   

"She didn't want to know – you've made a fool of me!"

He then accuses Gaynor of making a fool of him.   Siôn hears the sound of eggs breaking outside, and orders, “Batman and Dracula, come with me!”   

The frightening face at the window

Sheryl gets back to the salon, and then sees the two revellers banging on her window.   She is terrified and cowers in the back room.   

Lover-boy Hywel saves the day

Meanwhile, Batman and Dracula chase the miscreants, and Hywel just happens to go into the salon, to check that Sheryl is all right.

But Sheryl tells him to go back to Gaynor

Hywel judges that she needs some reassurance, and they embrace, until she breaks away, telling him to go back to Gaynor.   Of course he does not want to leave her, but she tells him, “Go!”

"I have never felt so happy"

Meic gets home, and denies that he sent Debbie round to see Anita;  he admits that he told her about the cancer, as it was impossible to work together at the café.   Anita asks if he is sure he wants to be with her, and he replies that he has never felt as happy as he is now.

The pursuants return

Back at the Deri, Hywel and Garry return, exhausted, and Gaynor notices that Hywel has some glitter on his cheek;  

"That looks like glitter on your cheek – I wonder how it got there!"

she appears to have a fair idea how it got there.
