Episode 693
Recap: Joan Ferguson finally gets her comeuppance and is sent to a prison in Western Australia as a result of being set-up by Rita Connors.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
The women are entering reception from exercise period and are still celebrating the Freak’s departure.
Rita: Sayonara Freak!
Lurch: Good riddance, I must say!
Officer Hagen: All right ladies. Quieten down.
Brumby: Sorry Miss Hagen. Still in a celebratory mood. *laughs*
Officer Hagen: Okay Tucker.
*Meg Morris enters the reception area*
Meg: Need a hand there Di?
Officer Hagen: *relieved* Please.
Meg: Okay. Connors, Jenkins, Tucker, McPherson, Jones, Young, Murray, Fisher…
*The women laugh and still make loud noises as Meg continues reading out the muster sheet*
In her office, Governor Ann Reynolds is on the phone to the Minister.
Ann: When can we expect her? Tomorrow? Sure, not a problem. Okay. Bye. *hangs up the phone as Meg walks in*
Meg: Everything okay?
Ann: We’ll be getting a new prisoner tomorrow, Meg. She’ll be sharing a cell with Helen Stephens.
Meg: What’s her name?
Ann: Patricia Holland. It turns out that she sold drugs to school kids at the high school she was teaching at.
Meg: I don’t think the women would be too happy to find out that. Speaking of the women, Joan’s departure seems to have lifted their spirits.
Ann: I’ve noticed. Oh and Meg? Make sure that the women are returned to their cells straight after evening rec.
Meg: Sure. *walks off as Rodney Adams walks in*
Rodney: You wanted to see me Mrs Reynolds?
Ann: Yes, I did. Kath Maxwell told me some rather interesting news about a bottle of YOUR fingerprints on it. Care to tell me about it?
*Rodney looks bemused*
In the laundry, Kath is working the press as the other women (Vicki, Lisa, Helen, Merle, Lorna, Tina and Jacko) are working.
Vicki: I gotta hand it to Rit. She did a mighty fine job taking down the Freak.
Lisa: I bet the new prison she’s been shipped off to is nice and cosy.
Helen: Was this Ferguson sheila that bad?
Kath: You don’t know half of it. She got Rita sent to Blackmoor and she used to terrorise the women.
Merle: She was a horrible woman! Kath’s me mate.
Helen: It sucks being in a cell of my own.
Lisa: I would kill to be in a cell of my own.
Vicki: *sarcastically* Thanks a lot.
Lisa: No offence Vicki, but I do like my personal space sometimes.
Vicki: Putting up with Brumby is bad enough.
*Lurch enters the laundry*
Lisa: How’s Rit?
Lurch: She’s resting in her cell.
Merle: Poor bugger.
Helen: I thought this Rita Connors sheila died early this morning.
Kath: There’s something you should know Helen. Rita set the Freak up. Her “death” was a plan to nail Ferguson once and for all.
Helen: So, she isn’t dead then?
*The women shake their heads*
Helen: Oh.
Vicki: How’s Spider?
Helen: Spider? Oh, you mean Simpson? She got sent to Blackmoor two weeks after she arrived at Barnhurst. Her and Sarah West had to be separated.
Lurch: I bet Spider caused that girl problems at Barnhurst too the bitch.
Kath: Sarah used to be a prisoner here at Wentworth.
Helen: Small world aye?
Lisa: It sure is.
Back in the Governor’s office, Rodney is protesting his innocence.
Rodney: Those fingerprints on that bottle were that of Mullins, not me.
Ann: Does the DNA test lie Mr Adams? I don’t think so!
Rodney: Maxwell’s lying! She’d do anything to set me up!
Ann: Oh? And what about provoking Merle Jones in an attempt to send her back to Ingleside?
Rodney: That never happened.
Ann: DON’T lie to me! I’m well aware of the incident as not only did Mullins and Maxwell report it to me, but Officer Pringle did as well.
Rodney: But Mrs Reynolds…
Ann: Consider yourself sacked!
Rodney: You can’t be serious.
Ann: Are you questioning my authority, Mr Adams?!? Collect your things and leave immediately!
*Rodney looks upset and stunned*
During that night’s rec period, the women are wondering why Rodney isn’t on duty.
Rita: I wonder where Adams is?
Brumby: Who cares? He’s a dope!
Rita: But he’s normally on duty during our evening rec period.
Lisa: He might’ve went home and cried for poor old Joanie.
*the women crack up laughing as Joyce Pringle walks in*
Joyce: Ladies. I know you love a good laugh, but try not to get too excited. You all need to return to your cells in 2 minutes.
Lurch: Oi, Mrs Pringle? What’s happened to Mr Adams?
Joyce: He no longer works here.
*The women look stunned while some look amazed*
Merle: What do ya mean by that?
Joyce: He was sacked this afternoon.
Kath: *overjoyed* Really?
Joyce: That’s enough Maxwell. Now, I think it’s time you lot headed off to bed. Come along.
*As the women leave the rec room, Kath and Lisa are laughing their heads off*
The next morning, Delia Stout is waiting for the new prisoner to arrive.
*A policeman walks in with a woman in her late 20’s who has her long brown hair tied in a bun*
Policeman: Good morning. Here’s the induction form.
Delia: Thank you officer. *to Patricia* Stand on the white line please.
*Patricia goes over to the white line and stands on it*
Delia: Your name is Patricia Mary Holland. Is that correct?
Patricia: Yes.
Delia: You have been charged with the illicit use of drugs and drug supply and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Is that correct?
Patricia: Yes.
Delia: Leave your belongings on the desk and head to the shower block.
*Patricia heads to the shower block closely followed by a background officer*
Delia: She doesn’t look the type to do drugs.
Policeman: Looks can be deceiving. She sold numerous drugs to numerous teenagers, most of them students at the high school where she teaching Science. I’d keep an eye on her.
Delia: Will do.
*Once Patricia has finished taking her shower, Delia shows her to her cell.*
Delia: You will be assigned to do work every day in either the laundry, garden or kitchen. We have buy-up every week and privileges will be earned.
Patricia: Why is there an extra bed?
Delia: You’ll be sharing with Helen Stephens.
Patricia: How quaint.
Delia: Make your bed before heading to the rec room.
Patricia: Sure thing.
*Delia leaves. Once Delia is out of earshot, Patricia opens her bathroom bag and takes out some coloured pills out of her shower cap.*
Patricia: Time to get high. *smirks*
*Credits roll*

Episode 694
Recap: Ann sacking Rodney Adams and Patricia smuggling drugs into Wentworth.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
Delia brings Patricia into the rec room.
Delia: Ladies. Got a new prisoner for you. Her name is Patricia Holland. *to Patricia* I’ll leave you to it. *walks off*
Kath: I’m Kath, the top dog of this place.
Patricia: Pleasure.
Kath: *points at each woman* This is Merle, Lisa, Rita, Lurch, Helen, Brumby, Vicki, Lorna, Tina, Jacko, Ronnie and Jenny.
Patricia: I see. Well, I’m sharing a cell with someone named Helen.
Helen: That would be me. *smiles*
Lurch: So, what are ya in for Pat?
Patricia: I’d rather not say. And I prefer to be called Patricia, NOT Pat!
Kath: We have no secrets in here, do we girls?
All: No.
Kath: Now tell us what you’re in for?
Patricia: Drugs. Go on. Bash me up!
*The women aren’t happy*
Kath: Just don’t push the stuff in here. The screws and I won’t tolerate it.
Patricia: Oh do we suck up to the officers?
Kath: Watch it Holland. Otherwise, you’ll be going to bed tonight with a cut lip.
Patricia: Fair enough. *smirks*
*the bell rings*
Joyce: Right ladies. Back to work.
*As the women leave, Vicki nudges Patricia*
Vicki: Who’d you sell your precious drugs too?
Patricia: Students at the high school where I was teaching. They would come by my house after school and buy the stuff until some nosy old coot dobbed me in.
Vicki: How about we go into business together?
Patricia: I’ll consider the offer. *smirks*
Ann is working in her office when the door knocks
Ann: Come in.
*Meg walks in*
Ann: Ah Meg. Just the person I wanted to see. Has Holland been allocated work yet?
Meg: I’ve rostered her onto the laundry.
Ann: I just hope Stephens will be all right sharing a cell with her.
Meg: Ann what do you mean?
Ann: I was going through Helen’s files from when she was at Barnhurst and it turns out that she put a prisoner in hospital for trying to inject heroin into her arm.
Meg: When did this incident take place?
Ann: Four months ago. And guess who the prisoner was? Janet Williams.
Meg: You’re joking?
Ann: I’m afraid not. It appears that Janet had to be transferred to Fairlea for her own safety.
Meg: If the cell arrangement doesn’t work out, what next?
Ann: I’ll organise a cell allocation. Where’s Holland now?
Meg: She should be in the laundry with the other women.
Ann: I’d like you to bring her in.
Meg: Sure. *walks out to collect Patricia*
Outside the laundry, Patricia is arguing with Joyce.
Joyce: I’d like you to go back inside laundry Holland!
Patricia: Pompous idiot! I don’t like the laundry.
Joyce: You are here for punishment, not a holiday. You’ll go where you are told.
Patricia: I’d like to see you try bitch.
Joyce: If you say that word to me again, I’ll put you on a charge.
*Meg walks over to them*
Meg: Everything okay Mrs Pringle?
Joyce: Holland has decided NOT to work in the laundry and when I tried to get her back in, she called me a bitch.
Meg: Right. The Governor wants to see you, Holland. I hope that’s not too much trouble.
Patricia: Course not. Better than working in this sweatshop! *leaves with Meg*
*Joyce heads off with them*
Kath: Sounds like the new prisoner is throwing her weight around!
Lurch: Should we teacher her a lesson Kath?
Kath: No. I’m going to wait and see if she causes trouble for any of the other women first.
Rita: Flush her drugs down the toilet?
Kath: She’s not that stupid enough to smuggle drugs in here.
Vicki: I did when I used to do the rackets with Spider.
Kath: Take over the press for me Rita. Brumby, Lurch. Keep knit.
*Lurch and Brumby stand at opposite doors as Kath grabs Vicki*
Vicki: What’s the go Maxwell?
Kath: IF I find out that you go into business with Holland, there will be hell to pay! We don’t want drugs in here.
Vicki: But..
*Kath slaps Vicki*
Kath: Did you hear what I said McPherson?!? NO DRUGS!!!
Brumby: Screw!
*Everyone heads back to their places as Marty Jackson walks in*
Marty: What’s going on ladies?
Rita: Nothing Mr Jackson. Just getting on with our work.
Marty: That’s good. I’ll leave you to it. *leaves*
In the Governor’s office, Ann is telling off Patricia for her behaviour towards Joyce.
Ann: I will NOT allow a prisoner to speak to an officer in such a disgusting manner. And as far as working in the laundry goes, perhaps you’d like to work in the kitchen instead?
Patricia: I don’t want to work at all. In fact, I just want to stay in the rec room all day and watch tele.
Ann: We have rules in this prison as I’m sure you found out in the rulebook Officer Stout gave you.
*Patricia scoffs*
Ann: I’m assigning you to the kitchen from tomorrow.
Patricia: Fine. As long as I’m cooking the food.
*Ann angrily lets out a sigh*
Ann: Get her out of here Mrs Pringle.
Joyce: Come on Holland.
*Patricia and Joyce leave. Meg closes the door*
Meg: Sounds like a Marie Winter in-training.
Ann: You don’t say. We’re becoming understaffed Meg. Well, now that Rodney’s been sacked I’m trying to find a new officer to fill the void. In fact, two officers.
Meg: Have you rung the Department about it?
Ann: I’m going to call them later today. I’ll keep you posted. *smiles*
Meg: All right. *walks out*
After dinner that night, Patricia sneaks into the cell she shares with Helen and grabs her bottle of coloured pills.
*Helen walks in at that moment*
Helen: What have you got there?
Patricia: Nothing.
Helen: Hand it over.
Patricia: Are you the top dog? No, so rack off!
*Helen twists Patricia’s arm and the bottle drops*
Patricia: OW!!!
Helen: *picks up the bottle and sees the coloured pills* Just as I suspected!
Patricia: Give it back!
Helen: You want it back?
Patricia: YES!!!
*Helen pours the pills into the sink and throws the empty bottle at Patricia*
Patricia: That was to help me survive in this stinking joint!
Helen: No drugs!
*Patricia shoves Helen onto her bed*
Patricia: You shouldn’t have done that Stephens! Now, I’m really ticked off!
*Helen glares at Patricia*
Meg and Delia are walking towards the corridor, talking.
Delia: I’m glad that Rodney Adams is out of Wentworth for good.
Meg: It’s a double victory for us. Joan and Rodney are out.
*they hear screaming and loud banging in Helen and Patricia’s cell*
Delia: What on earth?
*Meg and Delia race into the cell to find Helen and Patricia physically fighting*
Patricia: FLUSH MY DRUGS DOWN THE SINK YOU BITCH!!!
Helen: I HATE JUNKIES!!!
Meg: THAT is enough!!! Right, perhaps you both should explain to the Governor why you’re fighting?
Delia: Come on. *to Meg* I think it’s best we keep these two apart.
Meg: Right. Come on Holland.
*Meg leads Patricia away, while Delia does the same with Helen.*
Meg: Pushing drugs I presume?
Patricia: So what?
Meg: Keep that attitude up and you’ll be doing long stints in solitary. Now come along! *walks off*
*Patricia looks angry*
*Credits roll*

Episode 695
Recap: Helen disposing of Patricia’s drugs and their fight.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
Helen and Patricia are both in Ann’s office feeling her wrath.
Ann: You are BARELY been in this prison for 24 hours and already you’re fighting?!?
Patricia: Oh, it was her too!
Helen: Lagging bitch!
Delia: That’s enough, Stephens!
Ann: I think I know HOW this fight started. Care to explain, Holland?
*Patricia looks at Ann*
Patricia: She poured my medication pills down the sink.
Helen: I don’t think the doctor would prescribe LSD tablets to you!
Ann: Are you sure it was LSD?
Helen: Positive. The women at Barnhurst used to take them.
Patricia: Surprised they didn’t push you down the stairs.
Delia: HOLLAND!!!
Ann: Miss Stout take Stephens back to her cell.
Delia: Sure.
*Delia and Helen leave the office. Patricia tries to as well.*
Ann: Not you Holland!
*Patricia stops*
Patricia: What now?
Ann: I suggest you lose the attitude and hear what I have to say.
*Patricia looks at Ann impatiently*
Ann: If you ever smuggle drugs into Wentworth again, you’ll be on a charge.
Patricia: *sarcastically* And what charge is that?
Ann: Smuggling drugs!
Patricia: Fair enough. Can I go now?
Ann: Yes.
*Patricia leaves the room*
*Ann lets out a sigh*
Marty and Meg are supervising muster the next morning.
*Meg is doing a headcount of the women*
Meg: Has anyone seen Holland?
Merle: Probably takin her time in the dunny!
*the women laugh*
Meg: All right. *to Marty* Check the shower block in case she’s hiding.
*Before Marty does so, Patricia rocks up 5 minutes late*
Marty: You’re late Holland.
Patricia: Am I? Oh, I didn’t no that.
Marty: Enough with the sarcasm!
*Patricia smirks*
Meg: Now. Jenkins, Maxwell, Jones, Connors, Stephens, Mullins and Young are rostered in the laundry. Kennedy, Tucker, Murray, Fisher and Holland are rostered in the kitchen.
Patricia: I refuse to work there.
Meg: You’ll do you as you’re told!
Patricia: I don’t have to. To me, you’re just another public servant!
Meg: Right, you’re on a charge!
Patricia: *angrily* For what?!?
Meg: Insubordination. *to Marty* Take over for me Marty. I’m going to take Holland straight to the Governor. *to Patricia* MOVE IT!!!
Patricia: Keep your shirt on. I’m coming!
*Patricia and Meg leave*
Helen: She’s really starting to get on my nerves.
Lisa: I wouldn’t worry about it.
Lurch: She’s like a classy version of Marie Winter.
Kath: Who’s Marie Winter?
Lurch: She was prisoner here at Wentworth until she escaped and got transferred to Blackmoor on her recapture.
Rita: She also did the drug rackets.
Kath: Well, I know my stand against illicit drugs. I won’t have it. And if Holland thinks she can run her own drug racket, think again!
*the bell rings*
Marty: Okay ladies. Off to work.
*the women leave*
In the Governor’s office, Patricia is being lectured.
Ann: I don’t understand WHY you feel the need to rebel against the rules and regulations we have in this prison.
Patricia: Stupid bitch wanted me to work in the kitchen.
Ann: Mrs Morris happens to be the Deputy Governor and I will not allow any prisoner to speak to an officer in such a derogatory manner! I DEMAND that you apologise to Mrs Morris.
Patricia: Not gonna happen.
Ann: *sighing angrily* I see. Mrs Morris, take Holland to solitary.
Patricia: You’ve got to be bloody joking!
Ann: 24 hours! And if you continue swearing, I’ll make it 48! *to Meg* Get her out of here!
*Meg drags Patricia out of the room. The phone suddenly rings.*
Ann: What now? *picks up the phone* Ann Reynolds? Oh hello Mr Dwyer. You found an officer? That’s great. When does she start? Tomorrow’s fine. Okay. Thanks. Goodbye. *hangs up the phone as the door knocks* Come in.
*Joyce enters the office*
Joyce: Oh Mrs Reynolds. I’m just glad to have left the kitchen. Tina Murray’s sliced her hand open with a knife.
Ann: Is she badly hurt?
Joyce: Sister Hall is checking on her to see if its badly cut.
Ann: Okay. We’ll be getting a new officer tomorrow.
Joyce: The Department found one already?
Ann: Yes. Her name is Roxanne Howard. She used to be a senior officer at Barnhurst.
Joyce: Will she be a senior officer here?
Ann: Of course. Joan vacated that position to Roxanne.
*the phone rings*
Ann: One second. Ann Reynolds? It’s quite okay for you to call a second time, Mr Dwyer. Oh. What does she have? Really? I see. When can we expect her? Right. Thanks Mr Dwyer. *hangs up the phone as Meg walks in*
Meg: Well, I just finished putting Holland in solitary. It had to take me and Officer Radcliffe to physically put her in there.
*Ann looks sad*
Meg: Is something the matter Ann?
Ann: Mr Dwyer rang. The first time, he wanted to tell me that a new officer will be starting tomorrow. She was a senior officer at Barnhurst. But that’s not why I’m sad. I’m sad about the new prisoner that’s arriving tomorrow, Nicole Fenton.
Joyce: What about her?
Ann: She’s only 17 and the worst part? She’s got autism.
*Meg and Joyce look shocked*
*Credits roll*
Recap: Helen disposing of Patricia’s drugs and their fight.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
Helen and Patricia are both in Ann’s office feeling her wrath.
Ann: You are BARELY been in this prison for 24 hours and already you’re fighting?!?
Patricia: Oh, it was her too!
Helen: Lagging bitch!
Delia: That’s enough, Stephens!
Ann: I think I know HOW this fight started. Care to explain, Holland?
*Patricia looks at Ann*
Patricia: She poured my medication pills down the sink.
Helen: I don’t think the doctor would prescribe LSD tablets to you!
Ann: Are you sure it was LSD?
Helen: Positive. The women at Barnhurst used to take them.
Patricia: Surprised they didn’t push you down the stairs.
Delia: HOLLAND!!!
Ann: Miss Stout take Stephens back to her cell.
Delia: Sure.
*Delia and Helen leave the office. Patricia tries to as well.*
Ann: Not you Holland!
*Patricia stops*
Patricia: What now?
Ann: I suggest you lose the attitude and hear what I have to say.
*Patricia looks at Ann impatiently*
Ann: If you ever smuggle drugs into Wentworth again, you’ll be on a charge.
Patricia: *sarcastically* And what charge is that?
Ann: Smuggling drugs!
Patricia: Fair enough. Can I go now?
Ann: Yes.
*Patricia leaves the room*
*Ann lets out a sigh*
Marty and Meg are supervising muster the next morning.
*Meg is doing a headcount of the women*
Meg: Has anyone seen Holland?
Merle: Probably takin her time in the dunny!
*the women laugh*
Meg: All right. *to Marty* Check the shower block in case she’s hiding.
*Before Marty does so, Patricia rocks up 5 minutes late*
Marty: You’re late Holland.
Patricia: Am I? Oh, I didn’t no that.
Marty: Enough with the sarcasm!
*Patricia smirks*
Meg: Now. Jenkins, Maxwell, Jones, Connors, Stephens, Mullins and Young are rostered in the laundry. Kennedy, Tucker, Murray, Fisher and Holland are rostered in the kitchen.
Patricia: I refuse to work there.
Meg: You’ll do you as you’re told!
Patricia: I don’t have to. To me, you’re just another public servant!
Meg: Right, you’re on a charge!
Patricia: *angrily* For what?!?
Meg: Insubordination. *to Marty* Take over for me Marty. I’m going to take Holland straight to the Governor. *to Patricia* MOVE IT!!!
Patricia: Keep your shirt on. I’m coming!
*Patricia and Meg leave*
Helen: She’s really starting to get on my nerves.
Lisa: I wouldn’t worry about it.
Lurch: She’s like a classy version of Marie Winter.
Kath: Who’s Marie Winter?
Lurch: She was prisoner here at Wentworth until she escaped and got transferred to Blackmoor on her recapture.
Rita: She also did the drug rackets.
Kath: Well, I know my stand against illicit drugs. I won’t have it. And if Holland thinks she can run her own drug racket, think again!

Episode 696
Recap: Ann telling Meg and Joyce about new prisoner, Nicole Fenton.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
In the Governor’s office, Meg and Joyce are bewildered by Ann’s response.
Meg: Autism? Are you serious?
Ann: It’s a very serious matter Meg.
Joyce: But why send an autistic person to Wentworth?
Ann: It turns out that Nicole Fenton is known to shoplift. The police and her case worker seem to think that by sending her here, it will put an end to the shoplifting.
Meg: Do you think that’s wise?
Ann: Not necessarily, but we must make sure that she is safe during her stint in here.
Joyce: For a 17 year-old girl, I think that’s a great idea.
Ann: She’ll be arriving sometime tomorrow. Joyce, would you mind doing the induction?
Joyce: I don’t mind.
Ann: That’ll be all.
*Joyce and Meg leave the office*
During dinner, the women are talking about their day.
Brumby: I still can’t believe what happened to poor old Tina in the kitchen.
Lurch: Poor bugger. What’d she do?
Brumby: Accidentally sliced her hand with a knife.
Rita: At least it wasn’t boiling water.
Helen: Chrissie Latham poured boiling water over Janie Chapman a few years ago. It wasn’t pretty.
Rita: At least you’ll be able to sleep in peace tonight, Hel.
Helen: What do you mean Rit?
Rita: Your cellmate is in the pound.
Helen: Yeah. Deserved it too the bitch.
Lurch: That Holland cow is a pain in the bloody neck.
Rita: Let Kath deal with her Lurch.
*Over at their table, Kath and Merle are talking*
Merle: Vicki called me stupid, Kath! I hate being called stupid!
Kath: Don’t worry about her, Merle. She’s not worth our time.
Merle: And she also said that I needed to lose a few kilos. That’s mean.
Kath: Is that RIGHT?!? *looks furious*
As soon as dinner is over, Kath makes sure that no officers are around in her plan to confront Vicki.
*Kath grabs Vicki by the shirt as she walks past her*
Vicki: Get off me Maxwell! What’s wrong with you?!?
Kath: I think it’s about time I set the record straight with you McPherson. I don’t give a damn what sort of problem you have with me but if you EVER put Merle down again, I’ll make sure you’re carried out of this place on a stretcher! Got that?!?
Vicki: Oh is the loony tunes crying to Mummy Kath?!?
*Kath punches Vicki’s stomach. Vicki groans in pain*
Kath: I won’t warn you again McPherson. If don’t leave Merle alone, I’ll make sure that Mrs Reynolds finds out about the drugs you gave Merle during her lesson with Mr Lucas.
Vicki: *gasping* You wouldn’t dare!
Kath: Don’t push me. Just remember, if you don’t leave Merle alone, you can kiss Wentworth goodbye and say hello to Blackmoor. *shoves Vicki into the wall before heading to her cell*
*Shocked and frightened, Vicki clutches her stomach in pain*
The next morning, a woman aged between 35 and 40 enters reception wearing a Wentworth officers uniform.
Roxanne: Hello. I believe you’re Meg Morris.
Meg: That’s right. Roxanne Howard is it?
Roxanne: Pleasure to meet you. *shakes Meg’s hand* Where do I sign in?
Meg: That book. *points to the location of the sign in/out book near the door*
*Roxanne signs in*
Meg: Let me take you to the staff room.
Roxanne: Thanks.
*Meg leads Roxanne to the staff room where Joyce, Delia, Marty, Di Hagen and two background officers are there*
Meg: Everyone, I’d like you to meet Roxanne Howard. She’s the new senior officer here at Wentworth. This is Joyce Pringle, Delia Stout, Marty Jackson and Pat Slattery.
Roxanne: Hi everyone.
Di: *sarcastically* Another senior officer. Goody.
Roxanne: You don’t need to have that tone. I’m sure we’ll get along just fine.
*the phone rings. Delia answers it*
Delia: Staff room? Okay thanks. *hangs up the phone* The new prisoner is here.
Joyce: I’ll handle this. *walks out of the staffroom and sees Nicole Fenton with a policewoman*
Nicole: *cheerfully* Hi.
Joyce: Good morning.
Policewoman: This is Nicole Fenton. *hands Joyce the induction form*
Nicole: I like those glasses that you’re wearing. They make you look really stylish.
Joyce: *flattered* Why thank you. *to the policewoman* Are you sure she’s the new prisoner? She’s very cheerful.
Policewoman: Positive. I think I’ll leave you too it.
Nicole: Bye officer. *waves at the policewoman who walks out*
Joyce: Can I get you to stand on that white line over there please?
Nicole: Okay. *stands on the white line as Joyce walks over to her*
Joyce: Your name is Nicole Jane Fenton. Is that correct?
Nicole: That’s right. *smiles*
Joyce: You’ve been charged with shoplifting and are to serve two months here at Wentworth. Is that correct?
Nicole: I-I think so. Yes.
Joyce: Let me show you where the shower block is. *takes Nicole to the shower block*
Nicole: Do I have to take a shower?
Joyce: It’s the standard procedure here in this prison. New prisoners must be cleaned in case they’ve got any germs. Do you need a hand getting in?
Nicole: I’ll manage thank you Mrs….
Joyce: Pringle.
Nicole: Ah right. *smiles before heading into the shower*
Once Nicole has finished making her shower and organising her cell, Joyce introduces her to the women.
Joyce: This is Nicole Fenton everyone. Make sure that she’s safe.
Nicole: *cheerfully* I’m sure we’ll be great friends.
Joyce: Maxwell, a word if I may?
*Kath leaves the rec room to talk to Joyce*
Kath: Is everything okay Mrs Pringle?
Joyce: I want you to keep an eye on Nicole.
Kath: Why is that?
Joyce: Because she’s a 17 year-old girl with a disability.
Kath: What’s her disability?
Joyce: She has autism.
*Kath looks sad*
Kath: Poor thing. I’ll keep an eye on her Mrs Pringle.
Joyce: That’s greatly appreciated Maxwell.
*Kath head back into the rec room*
Kath: Come sit with me Nicole.
Nicole: Okay. *sits with Kath, Merle, Rita, Lurch and Helen*
Kath: This is Merle, Rita, Lurch and Helen.
Nicole: Lurch? That’s a funny name. *laughs*
Lurch: My real name is Alice.
Nicole: I hope I didn’t offend you. Sorry.
Lurch: Of course not love. *smiles*
Merle: I think you and I will make a great team.
Nicole: I love listening to music. How about you Merle?
Merle: I love pop music.
Nicole: Great! We should dance together sometime!
Rita: I’m sure that’ll be a classic.
Nicole: I brought in my stereo if you want to dance to some music.
Merle: I’d like that. *smiles*
*Nicole smiles back*
*Credits roll*

Margo is about to be inducted by Roxanne.
Margo: This place hasn't changed since I was last in here.
Roxanne: And neither have you Gaffney, now stand on the white line!
Margo: Sure thing Miss Howard.
*Margo stands on the white line*
Roxanne: Your name is Margo Gaffney. Is that correct?
*Margo just rolls her eyes and sighs*
Roxanne: I SAID is that correct?!?
Margo: Yes, Miss Howard.
Roxanne: You are currently serving time for armed robbery, drug possession and aggravated assault. Is that correct and NO funny business!
Margo: Yeah.
Roxanne: Good. Now, head to the shower block. Officer Slattery will take you.
Pat: Come along, Gaffney. I haven't got all day.
Margo: Yeah, yeah. I'm coming, I'm coming.
*Margo follows Officer Slattery to the showers*
***
In the Governor's office, Meg is shocked upon the news of Margo Gaffney's return.
Meg: Margo Gaffney? Back here?
Ann: I'm afraid so.
Meg: I thought she was at Blackmoor.
Ann: Well, it turned out that Gaffney caused vicious injuries to one of the women at Blackmoor. Thankfully, the prisoner is okay, but as for ear...
*Meg cringes at the detail*
Meg: But why send her back to Wentworth? Blackmoor is one of the highest security prisons in Victoria.
Ann: This is only temporary until the Department can find another high security prison for her.
Meg: Well, let's just hope she doesn't cause trouble. Remember what happened last time she was at Wentworth and she tried to frame Kean for an attack on Myra Desmond.
Ann: I know all to well. We have to keep a close eye on her, that's for sure.
***
Roxanne is leading Margo to her new cell, a single one.
Margo: Oh, how nice that I get a single cell?
Roxanne: Cut the wisecracks, Gaffney! Just remember one thing, I'm keeping an eye you! If I see one drug deal being made, I'll make sure you'll be transferred to the highest security prison in Australia.
Margo: *sarcastically* I'm so scared!
Roxanne: I haven't forgotten what you did to Cass Parker back at Barnhurst!
Margo: It's not my fault she murdered Officer Roberts!
Roxanne: You made damn sure that Parker got transferred so she wouldn't lag to Vera about the drug deals between you and Winter!
Margo: Someone's got a good memory.
Roxanne: Fix your bed!
*Roxanne closes the door*

In the rec room that evening, the women are watching TV when Margo decides to pick on Merle.
Margo: Hey tubby! Thought about doing some extra exercise period?
Merle: Don't be mean to me! I haven't done nothing to you!
Margo: Oh, I'm only trying to help you. Stop being a dummy!
Merle: Don't you call me a dummy! Or....
Margo: Or you'll what? Hit me with your plastic hammer?!? *laughs*
Nicole: Why don't you pick on someone your own size, you rude little cow?!?
Margo: Oh, ho, ho! Why don't you crawl back to the hole you came from and go die a lonely death.
*Nicole looks offended*
Nicole: WHAT did you say?!?
*Margo menaces over to Nicole*
Margo: I SAID....
*But before Margo can finish, Nicole smacks Margo very hard across the face*
Margo: YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!!
*Margo goes to attack Nicole, but is restrained by Patricia and Vicki*
Patricia: She'll keep!
Vicki: Yeah, we wouldn't worry about a retard like her anyway!
*Nicole throws a book at Vicki, which hits her in the eye*

*Helen and Kath take Nicole out of the room*

Margo: What do you want?
Kath: Just thought I'd like to give you something.
Margo: And what's that?
*Kath punches Margo's stomach*
*Margo groans in agony*
Kath: Let this be a warning to you, Gaffney. I run this prison, not you! I'M the top dog, not you! And if I ever see you pick on the special needs prisoners again, I'll make your life a living hell! GOT THAT?!?
*Margo nods*
Kath: Good! *leaves Margo's cell*

Recap: Lisa confronting Vicki in the dining room and Margo's dramatic return to Wentworth.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Lurch
Margo is about to be inducted by Roxanne.
Margo: This place hasn't changed since I was last in here.
Roxanne: And neither have you Gaffney, now stand on the white line!
Margo: Sure thing Miss Howard.
*Margo stands on the white line*
Roxanne: Your name is Margo Gaffney. Is that correct?
*Margo just rolls her eyes and sighs*
Roxanne: I SAID is that correct?!?
Margo: Yes, Miss Howard.
Roxanne: You are currently serving time for armed robbery, drug possession and aggravated assault. Is that correct and NO funny business!
Margo: Yeah.
Roxanne: Good. Now, head to the shower block. Officer Slattery will take you.
Pat: Come along, Gaffney. I haven't got all day.
Margo: Yeah, yeah. I'm coming, I'm coming.

In the Governor's office, Meg is shocked upon the news of Margo Gaffney's return.
Meg: Margo Gaffney? Back here?
Ann: I'm afraid so.
Meg: I thought she was at Blackmoor.
Ann: Well, it turned out that Gaffney caused vicious injuries to one of the women at Blackmoor. Thankfully, the prisoner is okay, but as for ear...
*Meg cringes at the detail*
Meg: But why send her back to Wentworth? Blackmoor is one of the highest security prisons in Victoria.
Ann: This is only temporary until the Department can find another high security prison for her.
Meg: Well, let's just hope she doesn't cause trouble. Remember what happened last time she was at Wentworth and she tried to frame Kean for an attack on Myra Desmond.
Ann: I know all to well. We have to keep a close eye on her, that's for sure.
***
Roxanne is leading Margo to her new cell, a single one.
Margo: Oh, how nice that I get a single cell?
Roxanne: Cut the wisecracks, Gaffney! Just remember one thing, I'm keeping an eye you! If I see one drug deal being made, I'll make sure you'll be transferred to the highest security prison in Australia.
Margo: *sarcastically* I'm so scared!
Roxanne: I haven't forgotten what you did to Cass Parker back at Barnhurst!
Margo: It's not my fault she murdered Officer Roberts!
Roxanne: You made damn sure that Parker got transferred so she wouldn't lag to Vera about the drug deals between you and Winter!
Margo: Someone's got a good memory.
Roxanne: Fix your bed!
*Roxanne closes the door*

In the rec room that evening, the women are watching TV when Margo decides to pick on Merle.
Margo: Hey tubby! Thought about doing some extra exercise period?
Merle: Don't be mean to me! I haven't done nothing to you!
Margo: Oh, I'm only trying to help you. Stop being a dummy!
Merle: Don't you call me a dummy! Or....
Margo: Or you'll what? Hit me with your plastic hammer?!? *laughs*
Nicole: Why don't you pick on someone your own size, you rude little cow?!?
Margo: Oh, ho, ho! Why don't you crawl back to the hole you came from and go die a lonely death.
*Nicole looks offended*
Nicole: WHAT did you say?!?
*Margo menaces over to Nicole*
Margo: I SAID....
*But before Margo can finish, Nicole smacks Margo very hard across the face*
Margo: YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!!
*Margo goes to attack Nicole, but is restrained by Patricia and Vicki*
Patricia: She'll keep!
Vicki: Yeah, we wouldn't worry about a retard like her anyway!

Vicki: The way she threw it at me was uncalled for! Bloody retarded bitch!
*Sister Hall just ignores Vicki's comments and puts on an eye patch over the injured eye*

Ann: Wentworth Detention Centre? Yes, this is Ann Reynolds. Oh no. When did this happen? Yes, I'll let them know. Thank you.
(Meg walks in as Ann hangs up the phone)
Meg: Well, I'm knocking off for the night. I'll see you tomorrow.
Ann: Meg, wait. I have to tell you something.
Meg: What is it?
Ann: That was the hospital. Jenkins died 20 minutes ago.
Meg: *sadly* Oh no.
Ann: I'm going to inform the women first thing tomorrow, so can you let them know during muster.
Meg: Sure.
(Meg walks out of the room as Ann looks distraught)
*Credits roll*
Episode 703
Recap: Ann being informed of Lurch's death.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Merle
At muster the next morning, Meg and Roxanne are waiting until all the women are lined up before they tell them the tragic news about Lurch.
Meg: Right, Officer Howard and I have some very sad news to tell you all.
Rita: It's Lurch isn't it?
Roxanne: Mrs Reynolds received a phone call from the hospital last night, saying that Jenkins passed away on the operating table.
Rita: It can't be true! NO!
(Rita covers her face with her hands and begins to cry)
Nicole: *tearful* She was so full of energy.
(Most of the women cry, except for Vicki and Margo)
Margo: Had it happen sooner or later.
Vicki: She can join the rest of her family that carked it!
Rita: You wanna say that again, you bitch?!?
(Rita charges at Vicki and Margo, only to be restrained by Kath, Helen and Lisa)
Kath: She's not worth it, Rita.
Meg: Keep an eye on Connors, ladies.
Lisa: It's okay, Rit. It's a shame there are some HEARTLESS BITCHES in society!
Margo: Can't take the truth, Mullins?
Roxanne: You two should be ashamed of yourselves! As punishment, you'll both be scrubbing the floors day AND night!
Vicki: Oh, come on!
Roxanne: Maybe then, you'll think twice about disrespecting the dead! Now MOVE!!!
(Margo and Vicki stalk off)
***
Rita is bawling her eyes out in her cell. Kath, Helen and Lisa are there with her.
Rita: *sobbing* She was me best mate. I don't know what I'm going to do without her.
Kath: You still have us, Rit. Remember that.
Helen: Lurch wouldn't want you to be upset.
Rita: It's just so hard that she's not coming back now.
Lisa: We'll miss her dreadfully.
Helen: I should smack those bitches for what they said about Lurch.
Kath: Well, Miss Howard put them both on cleaning duty for the rest of the week...
Helen: I know! We can make a mess during dinner!
Lisa: The screws will just tell us to clean it up. It won't work.
Kath: That's where you're wrong, Mullins. Miss Howard is on dinner duty tonight. She's got Vicki and Margo on notice. *smirks*
Helen: Sounds good.
Rita: Anything to get back at those bitches!
***
In their cell, Nicole is being comforted by Valerie.
Nicole: I just can't believe that Lurch is gone.
Valerie: There, there, honey child. It's going to be okay.
Nicole: You're like a mother to me. It's a shame my mother passed away.
Valerie: How come?
Nicole: She died in a car accident. *starts to cry*
Valerie: Come here, honey child.
(Valerie hugs Nicole and starts humming a lullaby)
Nicole: I just don't like losing people that I'm close with.
Valerie: I hear you, honey child. I hear you.
(Nicole and Valerie continue to hug)

In her office, Ann has just gotten off the phone with the Department when Roxanne walks in.
Roxanne: I have to talk to you, Mrs Reynolds.
Ann: Is something the matter?
Roxanne: Gaffney and McPherson are doing cleaning duties for the rest of the week. The reason? They disrespected Lurch in front of the other women during muster.
Ann: How are the women taking Jenkins's death?
Roxanne: Connors is beside herself with grief. Maxwell and that are comforting her.
Ann: Well, that's understandable considering that Rita and Alice were good friends. That reminds me, I just got off the phone with a doctor at Ingleside. Cass Parker is coming back.
Roxanne: Cass Parker? I remember her back when I was an officer at Barnhurst. What was she doing at Ingleside?
Ann: One of the prisoners miscarried and it sent Cass over the edge, so I had her transferred to Ingleside to seek help.
Roxanne: Cass always had a vicious temper. I still remember the day she murdered Officer Roberts back at Barnhurst.
Ann: Yes, I know. We should expect Cass sometime tomorrow, so if you could do the induction that would be great.
Roxanne: Will do.
(Roxanne leaves the office)
***
During dinner that night, Kath and the other women put their plan to action.
Kath: *quietly* Stephens, drop your plate.
(Helen deliberately drops her plate onto the ground)
Helen: Oops!
(Some of the other women try not to laugh)
Nicole: Your turn, Val.
(Valerie knocks over some gravy and it lands on the ground)
Valerie: Oh god, look at this!
(Margo and Vicki look annoyed as Roxanne just stands there.)
Lisa: Time to have some salt.
(Lisa throws the salt onto the ground. Pretty soon, most of the dining room is covered in gravy, salt and food bits)
Roxanne: RIGHT!!! Gaffney and McPherson, clean this whole dining room!
Vicki: What for?!?
Margo: We didn't even make the bloody mess!!!
Roxanne: JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!!!
(the bell rings)
Roxanne: All right ladies. Off to the rec room.
(The women apart from Margo and Vicki leave the dining room)
Margo: I think you are treating us unfairly!
Roxanne: Disrespecting a recently deceased woman, now THAT is unfair!
(Margo and Vicki look incensed as they mop the floor)

Brumby: I gotta hand it to ya, Nikki. You scared the hell out of Vicki. She's practically shaking.

Nicole: *to Delia* May I?
Delia: Sure.

Lisa: Oh, shut up Vicki!
Vicki: Stay out of it, Mullins!
Allison: Why? She's only standing up for me!
Margo: You cheeky little bitch!
(Margo slaps Allison just as Roxanne walks in)
Roxanne: Well, well, well! Why am I not surprised that you are causing trouble yet again, Gaffney?!?
Margo: Oh, but Miss Howard....
Roxanne: Governor's office, now!
Margo: No!
Roxanne: NOW!
Margo: *to Allison* You watch yourself, bitch!
(Margo storms out of the laundry)
Nicole: Serves her right! Bitch!
Lisa: She's getting exactly what she deserves!
Brumby: You can say that again.
(Vicki glares at Allison)
*Credits roll*
Episode 711
Recap: Vicki and Margo giving Allison a hard time
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Merle
In the Governor’s office, Ann is once again lecturing Margo.
Ann: Why did you strike Prior?
Margo: *cockily* No particular reason.
Roxanne: Show some respect, Gaffney!
(Margo rolls her eyes)
Ann: I see. Well, if you are continuing to be defiant, perhaps 48 hours in solitary will do the trick. *to Roxanne* Miss Howard, take Gaffney to solitary.
Margo: Aw, for how long?
Ann: Like I said, 48 hours.
Margo: This isn’t fair, I tell you!
Roxanne: MOVE IT, Gaffney!
Margo: All right, I’m coming.
(Roxanne leads Margo away)

In their cell, Nicole is checking up on Allison.
Nicole: Are you okay after what happened in the laundry?
Allison: Not really. Those women are terrifying.
Nicole: I wouldn’t worry about Vicki McPherson and her mob. She’s just acts tough when in reality she’s a coward.
Allison: Thanks for sticking up for me.
Nicole: You’re welcome, Allison. I’ve always got your back.
Allison: What about the other women?
Nicole: Lisa, Brumby, Kath, Merle, Rit, Cass and Helen have your back as well.
Allison: I hope Rita’s okay, though.
Nicole: She’ll be fine after a few days. It’s hard when you lose your best friend. I’m worried about my brother too at the moment.
Allison: How is he?
Nicole: He’s recovering in the hospital still. I just wish there was something I could do, but I know Valerie is watching him.
Allison: Oh, is she a relative?
Nicole: She’s like a surrogate mother to me. My real mother died in a car accident when I was 14.
Allison: I’m so sorry to hear that, Nikki.
Nicole: You know, we have a lot in common.
Allison: We dated the same bastard that I stabbed to death.
Nicole: I know. What a scumbag!
(Allison and Nicole start laughing)
***
The next morning, the women are having breakfast. A fellow prisoner is pestering Patricia.
Kerry: Hello.
Patricia: Oh, hello.
Kerry: Hello.
Patricia: I said hello to you, Kerry!
Kerry: What are you eating?
Patricia: What does it look like?
Kerry: Porridge?
Patricia: Exactly!
(As Patricia goes to sit with Vicki, Kerry joins them.)
Kerry: Hello.
Vicki: Go sit somewhere else, Beasley.
Kerry: Hello.
(Vicki and Patricia roll their eyes in frustration)
*Over at another table, Kath and Helen are laughing their heads off*
Helen: I think Kerry’s found herself some new best friends.
Kath: I don’t think Patricia and Vicki are too keen on her. *smiles*
Helen: With Margo in the pound, Vicki and Patricia will be too annoyed with Kerry to even think about the drug rackets.
Kath: I know.
(They see Patricia and Vicki quickly leave the dining room)
Helen: Mission accomplished.
(Kath and Helen start laughing hysterically)
***
Inside the cell she shares with Nicole, Allison is making her bed when Ronnie Kennedy, Gina Balzano and Ros Fisher storm in.
Gina: There she is, ladies.
Ros: So, this is the one that got Margo chucked in the pound?
Allison: Look, why don’t you just leave me alone!
Gina: That’d be the easy way out, sweetie. *to Ronnie* Grab her!
(Ronnie holds Allison down as Gina and Ros mercilessly bash her)
Ros: This is what happens to lagging bitches like you!
(Ros punches Allison’s stomach just as Nicole walks in)
Nicole: *yelling* Get the hell of her!
(Ros tries to punch Nicole, but ends up getting punched in the stomach)
(Ros groans)
Gina: Retarded bitch!
Nicole: You, get out!
(Nicole grabs Gina and pushes her out)
Ronnie: Bring it on!
Nicole: Oh yeah?
(Nicole punches Ronnie in the stomach before punching her in the face, causing her nose to bleed)
Nicole: Never…mess…with…my…friends!
(Ronnie makes a quick exit as Nicole checks up on Allison)
Nicole: Allison?
(Allison staggers over to her bed)
Allison: *sobbing* Those bitches.

Episode 712
Recap: Nicole saving Allison from being bashed by Ros, Gina and Ronnie.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Merle
Kath storms into Gina's cell before muster.
Gina: G'day Kath.
(Kath slams the door and grabs Gina's shirt)
Kath: I want a word with you, Balzano!
Gina: W-what is it?
Kath: I see that we're bashing my mates now.
Gina: Oh, you mean that lagging bitch Allison? She deserved everything she got for lagging on Margo!
Kath: Is that right?!?
(Kath grabs Gina by the throat. Gina starts gasping.)
Kath: I will not tolerate liars, Balzano! ESPECIALLY when it comes to my mates. Do we understand each other?
(Gina nods)
Kath: Good!
(Kath lets her grip go and leaves Gina's cell)
Gina: *to herself* That bloody hurt.
***
Later on in the laundry, Kath is operating the press. Nicole, Helen, Ros, Jacko, Lorna, Lisa and Cass are there too.
Kath: How's Allison, Nikki?
Nicole: She's rather sore as a result of a beating, but hopefully she'll be okay.
Lisa: It's a shame some people are so heartless! *glares at Ros*
Ros: Why don't just rack off, Mullins?
Helen: Will you listen to that ladies? Fisher's got a motor mouth!
Cass: Hey, it's Allison's murder trial tomorrow isn't it?
Nicole: It sure is. *loudly* It's a shame she has to go to court tomorrow looking beat up, thanks to you Ros!
(Ros throws a bottle of laundry detergent at Nicole, which completely misses her)
Joyce: Fisher! Was that called for?!?
Ros: SHE started it!
Cass: Ah, no she didn't!
Joyce: You're going straight to the Governor, Fisher. Get a move on.
(Joyce leads Ros out)
Helen: Well, I guess that means Ros will be joining Margo and Ronnie in solitary. *laughs*
Cass: Why'd Ronnie get chucked in the pound?
Lisa: She pushed Miss Howard over.
Nicole: Bitch!
Kath: Now ladies, I wouldn't worry about Margo's cronies. If she thinks that I'm going to step down as Top Dog, she is sadly mistaken.
(Kath slams the press down)
***
In the infirmary, Allison is lying on the doctors bed when she sees a bottle of pills on the table.
Allison: *to herself* Why do I even live anymore? The women think I'm a snitch and I'm probably going to get life in jail for stabbing my violent boyfriend to death.
(Allison swallows the pills)
*A few minutes later, Sister Hall finds Allison still lying on the bed*
Sister Hall: Come on, Prior. I think it's time to return to your cell.
(Sister Hall gently nudges Allison)
Sister Hall: Prior?
(Sister Hall checks Allison's pulse)
Sister Hall: Oh dear god.
***
In the Governor's office, Ann is doing paperwork when the phone rings.
Ann: Ann Reynolds? Yes, Sister Hall? When did this happen? I see. I'll let the women know. Thank you.
(Ann hangs up the phone just as Meg walks in)
Meg: Who was that?
Ann: That was Sister Hall. Rather sad news, I'm afraid.
Meg: What's the matter?
Ann: Allison Prior overdosed on pills. She's dead.

Kath, Nicole, Helen, Lisa, Cass, Lorna and Jacko are in the laundry when Ann and Meg walk in.
Ann: Ladies, can I have your attention please?
(The women look at Ann and Meg)
Kath: What is it, Mrs Reynolds?
Ann: I'm sad to inform you that Allison Prior has committed suicide. Sister Hall found her in the infirmary.
(The women gasp in shock and disbelief)
Meg: The coroner will investigate the cause of death, but we strongly believe that she overdosed on pills.
(Nicole is shaking terribly)
Meg: Fenton, are you all right?
(Nicole suddenly collapses)
Helen: Nikki!
(Several women mutter 'Oh my god' as Ann and Meg race over to Nicole)
Ann: *to Meg* Get Sister Hall!
(Meg races off to get Sister Hall)
Lisa: This is awful.
Cass: I just hope poor Nikki's okay. Why does she have to cop it all?
Lorna: Should we help her into her cell, Mrs Reynolds?
Ann: All right. Take Nicole back to her cell.
(Lorna and Kath take Nicole back to her cell. When they put her on the bed, she finally comes to.)
Nicole: What happened?
Kath: You fainted, love.
Nicole: Allison...
(Nicole bursts into tears)
Kath: Come here.
(Kath and Lorna hug Nicole)
***
That night, Margo and Vicki are gloating about Allison.
Margo: I'm so glad that bitch killed herself!
Vicki: Me too! Just proves what a gutless dog she really was!
Patricia: That's a rotten thing to say!
Vicki: And what up your backside, Miss Holland?!?
Patricia: I've thought of a way to dethrone Kath as top dog, but you two have been so busy gloating over poor Allison that I haven't had a chance to.
(Margo smirks)
Margo: Do tell, Patricia.
Patricia: Well, I could plant drugs in Kath's cell...
Margo: Way too easy. I know! We can try and get Merle sent to Ingleside!
Patricia: And how are we going to manage that?
Vicki: Rip one of her comic books apart. That's one thing that sets her off!
(Margo, Vicki and Patricia start laughing)
Margo: I'm starting to like this plan.
(Unfortunately for them, Merle has listened to the whole thing.)
Merle: Kath! Kath! Kath!
(Kath races over to Merle)
Kath: Merle, what is it?
Merle: *sobbing* Margo and Vicki are going to rip my comic books apart.
Kath: No, they won't. I won't let them. Come on, love.
(As Kath hugs Merle, Rita and Nicole walk over)
Rita: Merle, are you all right?
Kath: I think it's about time you and I taught those bitches another lesson, Rita.
Nicole: I'm joining in too. I want to hit them after those nasty remarks they made about Allison.
Kath: Love, leave it to me and Rita. You've got enough on your plate at the moment and I don't want you to jeopardise your release in two weeks.
Nicole: Oh okay. I'll stay with Merle.
Rita: Thanks Nikki. *to Kath* Let's go smash them up!
(Rita and Kath walk off)
Nicole: Would you like to read my Sailor Moon comic book?
Merle: Oh, I'd love that!
(Merle smiles at Nicole)

Kath and Rita head straight to Margo's cell and start laying down the law. Helen is keeping knit.
Kath: Outside Holland!
Patricia: Oh, what have I done now?
Kath: I said outside!
(Patricia leaves)
Vicki: What do you bitches want?!
(Kath punches Vicki in the gut, while Rita does the same with Margo)
Rita: A little birdie tells us that you've been slagging off Allison.
Margo: What's it to you, Connors?!
Kath: AND threatening to rip up Merle's comic books!
Vicki: Just let us go!
Helen: Screw!
(Kath and Rita let Margo and Vicki go as Roxanne walks in)
Roxanne: What's going on here?
Rita: Nothing Miss Howard. Just paying these lovely ladies a social visit. *laughs*

Recap: Kath and Rita attacking Margo and Vicki, only for them to be sprung by Roxanne.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Merle
In the Governor's office, Ann is reading out the riot act.
Ann: Right. Now, I would like to know who started the fight.
(Kath, Rita, Helen, Margo and Vicki all talk at once)
Meg: One at a time! One at a time!
Ann: *to Meg* Thank you, Mrs Morris. *to the women* WELL?! Do ANY of you have an explanation?
(no one answers)
Ann: Right. Since none of you will comply, you lot have no buy-up or privileges for the next week.
Vicki: But that's not fair!
Ann: Would you like me to make it two weeks for you, McPherson?!
Vicki: No.
Ann: Then shut up!
(Meg and Roxanne look shocked)
Ann: Miss Howard, take the women back to their cells.
Roxanne: Right, you lot. Out!
(Roxanne leads the women out of the office)
Meg: I must say, the women can be clever. TOO clever for their own good.
Ann: I know. Listen Meg, would you be able to come in first thing tomorrow morning? There's a prisoner arriving from Fairlea.
Meg: What is her name?
Ann: Her name is Stephanie Taylor. She's serving time for murder.
Meg: The name rings a bell. Didn't she shot her husband dead after a domestic violence dispute?
Ann: That is correct, Meg. Well, I have nothing else left to say. You may go.
(Meg leaves the office)
***
The next morning, Meg is in reception when a police officer brings in Stephanie Taylor.
Police officer: Good morning, Mrs Morris. Here's Stephanie.
Stephanie: Where do I bloody stand?
Meg: *in an unimpressed tone* On the white line.
(Stephanie goes over to the white line and stands on it)
Meg: Your name is Stephanie Anne Taylor. Is that correct?
Stephanie: Yeah.
Meg: You're currently serving a life sentence for murder. Is that correct?
Stephanie: Bloody oath it is.
Meg: Mind your language!
Stephanie: *sarcastically* Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know saying "bloody" was a swear word! Please forgive me!
Meg: Keep this up and you'll be on two charges.
Stephanie: And what are they?
Meg: Use of foul language and insubordination! Now, get to the showers.
Stephanie: Lady, I don't need a shower!
Meg: You'll do as you're told!
Stephanie: And when I say "I don't need a shower", I mean "I don't need a shower"!
(Roxanne walks in)
Roxanne: Is everything okay in here, Mrs Morris?
Meg: Our new prisoner is refusing to go to the showers.
Roxanne: You heard Mrs Morris. Get to the shower block!
Stephanie: No screw tells me what to do!
Roxanne: I don't care what you did back in Fairlea, but in Wentworth you'll do as you're told! NOW GET TO THE SHOWER BLOCK!
(Stephanie scowls at Roxanne before storming into the shower block)
Meg: I think we might have a little problem on our hands.
Roxanne: A little?
(Meg and Roxanne look at each other)
*Once Stephanie has finished showering, she is led into her cell by Roxanne*
Stephanie: Oh, so who am I sharing with?
Roxanne: Cass Parker and Rita Connors.
Stephanie: And I suppose they're having brekkie?
Roxanne: Very smart. Anyway, they should be back soon.
Stephanie: Thanks, Miss....
Roxanne: Howard.
Stephanie: Got it.
(Roxanne leaves with a confused look on her face)
***
Later on, Nicole is working in the kitchen when she is partnered with Stephanie.
Mr Pringle: I want you to ladies to wash and peel the vegetables for tonight's dinner.
Nicole: Yes, Mr Pringle.
(Mr Pringle goes over to some extra prisoners as Nicole and Stephanie start washing some potatoes)
Nicole: So, what are you in for?
Stephanie: Murder. I shot my husband and got a life sentence.
Nicole: I'm in for shoplifting. I'm being released in two weeks.
Stephanie: You're lucky. I wish I could be paroled.
Nicole: What are the chance of that happening?
Stephanie: Well, I'm not eligible for parole until 1995.
Nicole: Gosh, that's a long time.
Stephanie: I know. I didn't catch your name?
Nicole: Nicole Fenton.
Stephanie: Oh, you're the autistic girl Cass and Rita were telling me about. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Nicole: Likewise. *smiles*
(Stephanie and Nicole shake hands)
Stephanie: Does anyone give you a hard time in here?
Nicole: Oh, just Margo Gaffney and her two cronies.
Stephanie: Well, I suppose I'll have a word to them.
Nicole: Good luck with that. By the way, why did you get transferred from Fairlea?
Stephanie: I was in war with this bitch of an officer. Oh, she was a cow!
(Nicole laughs)
Stephanie: I suppose it was funny.
(Nicole and Stephanie start laughing)
***
Meanwhile, Helen is walking along the corridor when someone hits her in the head with a baseball bat.
(Helen groans in pain as the assailant runs off)
Helen: Someone help!
(Delia runs over to Helen)
Delia: Stephens, are you all right?
Helen: Someone hit the back of my head.
(Delia helps Helen up)
Delia: Come on, I'll take you to Sister Hall.

The next morning, Meg is in reception when a police officer brings in Stephanie Taylor.
Police officer: Good morning, Mrs Morris. Here's Stephanie.
Stephanie: Where do I bloody stand?
Meg: *in an unimpressed tone* On the white line.
(Stephanie goes over to the white line and stands on it)
Meg: Your name is Stephanie Anne Taylor. Is that correct?
Stephanie: Yeah.
Meg: You're currently serving a life sentence for murder. Is that correct?
Stephanie: Bloody oath it is.
Meg: Mind your language!
Stephanie: *sarcastically* Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know saying "bloody" was a swear word! Please forgive me!
Meg: Keep this up and you'll be on two charges.
Stephanie: And what are they?
Meg: Use of foul language and insubordination! Now, get to the showers.
Stephanie: Lady, I don't need a shower!
Meg: You'll do as you're told!
Stephanie: And when I say "I don't need a shower", I mean "I don't need a shower"!
(Roxanne walks in)
Roxanne: Is everything okay in here, Mrs Morris?
Meg: Our new prisoner is refusing to go to the showers.
Roxanne: You heard Mrs Morris. Get to the shower block!
Stephanie: No screw tells me what to do!
Roxanne: I don't care what you did back in Fairlea, but in Wentworth you'll do as you're told! NOW GET TO THE SHOWER BLOCK!
(Stephanie scowls at Roxanne before storming into the shower block)
Meg: I think we might have a little problem on our hands.
Roxanne: A little?
(Meg and Roxanne look at each other)
*Once Stephanie has finished showering, she is led into her cell by Roxanne*
Stephanie: Oh, so who am I sharing with?
Roxanne: Cass Parker and Rita Connors.
Stephanie: And I suppose they're having brekkie?
Roxanne: Very smart. Anyway, they should be back soon.
Stephanie: Thanks, Miss....
Roxanne: Howard.
Stephanie: Got it.
(Roxanne leaves with a confused look on her face)

Later on, Nicole is working in the kitchen when she is partnered with Stephanie.
Mr Pringle: I want you to ladies to wash and peel the vegetables for tonight's dinner.
Nicole: Yes, Mr Pringle.
(Mr Pringle goes over to some extra prisoners as Nicole and Stephanie start washing some potatoes)
Nicole: So, what are you in for?
Stephanie: Murder. I shot my husband and got a life sentence.
Nicole: I'm in for shoplifting. I'm being released in two weeks.
Stephanie: You're lucky. I wish I could be paroled.
Nicole: What are the chance of that happening?
Stephanie: Well, I'm not eligible for parole until 1995.
Nicole: Gosh, that's a long time.
Stephanie: I know. I didn't catch your name?
Nicole: Nicole Fenton.
Stephanie: Oh, you're the autistic girl Cass and Rita were telling me about. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Nicole: Likewise. *smiles*
(Stephanie and Nicole shake hands)
Stephanie: Does anyone give you a hard time in here?
Nicole: Oh, just Margo Gaffney and her two cronies.
Stephanie: Well, I suppose I'll have a word to them.
Nicole: Good luck with that. By the way, why did you get transferred from Fairlea?
Stephanie: I was in war with this bitch of an officer. Oh, she was a cow!
(Nicole laughs)
Stephanie: I suppose it was funny.
(Nicole and Stephanie start laughing)

Meanwhile, Helen is walking along the corridor when someone hits her in the head with a baseball bat.
(Helen groans in pain as the assailant runs off)
Helen: Someone help!
(Delia runs over to Helen)
Delia: Stephens, are you all right?
Helen: Someone hit the back of my head.

Sister Hall: Do you know what weapon was used?
Helen: I didn't see who attacked me, but I felt like I was being attacked with a blunt instrument.
Delia: I will inform Mrs Reynolds about this.
Sister Hall: It looks like you will have to stay in the infirmary overnight.
Helen: That's fine. I just want my attacker locked away in the pound.

Margo is in her cell snorting some coke when Stephanie storms in.
Stephanie: What the hell are you playing at, bitch?!
Margo: Excuse me?
Stephanie: You heard! Attacking a prisoner with a baseball bat and giving her a head injury!
(Margo tries to act clueless)
Margo: I don't know what you're talking about!
(As Margo tries to leave, Stephanie grabs her arm)
Stephanie: I think you do, sweetheart! I saw the attack and one word to the Governor could seal your fate!
Margo: You bloody lag on me and I'll...
Stephanie: You'll what? Have your weak little cronies Holland and McPherson beat me up? I'd like to see you try!
(As Margo punches Stephanie in the stomach, Roxanne walks in.)
Roxanne: GAFFNEY!
Margo: Uh, Miss Howard? It's not what you think.
Roxanne: Your lies never surprise me, Gaffney! *to Stephanie* You alright, Taylor?
Stephanie: I'm fine, but there's something you should know.
Margo: You lag on me...
Stephanie: SHUT UP, BITCH! *to Roxanne* That prisoner who was assaulted earlier was done by none other than this bitch standing in front of me!
Margo: Oh, that's it you lagging bitch!
(As Margo charges towards Stephanie, Roxanne grabs her by the arms)
Roxanne: Once again, you never fail to amaze me with your stupidity! We're going to see the Governor, Gaffney! Let's go!

(Kath and the others realise Stephanie is talking about Margo)
Nicole: I knew it!
Kath: You saw Gaffney attack Helen?
Stephanie: Yes I did. The weapon used was a baseball bat. I know this because I was coming back from the dunny when I saw that leso attack your mate.
(Kath and Rita look incensed!)
Rita: She's gone!
Kath: Wait until I get my hands on her!
Stephanie: I'm afraid you're going to have to wait until tomorrow. Gaffney is in the pound for what she did to Helen.

Stephanie: Count me in.

Stephanie: Thanks.
(Nicole looks at the table where Margo and her cronies are sitting)
Nicole: Look at them. Bunch of losers!
Cass: I wouldn't worry about them, Nikki. Margo's always been like that.

Rita: The funeral isn't until Thursday. I want to pay my last respects to me best mate.
Nicole: It's not fair. Why did Lurch and Allison have to go?
(Stephanie puts her arms around Nicole)
Stephanie: I'm afraid death is a part of life, my dear. SOME people deserve to die however!

Ann: You three ought to be ashamed of yourselves! How dare you attack another prisoner just because she did the right thing!
Margo: The lagging bitch deserved it!
Meg: Quiet, Gaffney!
(Ann then turns her glare to Vicki and Ronnie)
Ann: Have you anything to say, McPherson and Kennedy?
Ronnie: Nah.

Ronnie: What for?!
Meg: Just do as you're told, Kennedy! Now get a move on!
(Meg leaves with Vicki and Ronnie as Margo stands up)
Margo: *cockily* Well, I suppose I better off to me cell.
Ann: SIT DOWN, GAFFNEY!
(Margo sits back down)
Ann: I am not finished with you yet. It seems that ever since you arrived back to Wentworth, you've done nothing but cause trouble.
Margo: I haven't brought any drugs into the prison. I swear it!
Ann: You were planning on starting a drug ring in the prison!
Margo: But...
Ann: AND how about the name calling towards Merle and Nicole? How about that vicious assault on Helen Stephens, not to mention your bullying towards Allison Prior which caused her to commit suicide and the derogatory comments you made about Jenkins!
Margo: It wasn't just me!
Ann: YOU WERE THE RINGLEADER! *bangs her fists on the table*
(Margo looks shocked)
Ann: This is what's going to happen. You will be going straight back to Blackmoor first thing in the morning!
Margo: You can't send me back there!
Ann: I can do what I like! *to Roxanne* Miss Howard, take Gaffney to the isolation block.
Roxanne: With pleasure, Governor.

Helen: Still a bit woozy, but I'm getting there.
Cass: Margo Gaffney is a prime bitch!
Helen: Wait until I get my hands on her. She'll regret ever bashing me!
Nicole: That's because she's a cowardly bitch that likes to attack from behind or with those slags Vicki and Patricia!
Rita: Nikki's right. That bitch is a coward.
(Sister Hall and Delia walk in at the same time)
Sister Hall: Good news, Helen. You'll be out of here tomorrow morning.
Cass: That's great news!
Helen: That's beaut!
Delia: Ladies, I'm afraid your visit with Helen is over. It's almost time for dinner.

Kath: Should Rita and I keep an eye on her since she's not fully 100% yet?
Helen: Jeez, Kath. I can look after myself. *laughs*
Rita: We're not taking any chances, Miss.
Delia: All right, ladies. Let's go. *to Helen* Murray will be delivering your dinner, Helen.

Rita: Of course, Jacko.
(Jacko sits with them)
Cass: Do ya know what's happened to Margo and Vicki?
Jacko: Sure I do. Vicki got chucked in the pound for attacking Stephanie, while Margo's been shipped off to isolation.

Merle: Yeah.
Kath: Why is Margo in isolation?
Jacko: Reyno's sending her back to Blackmoor.
Rita: Hallelujah!
Nicole: Good riddance!
Merle: Kath, does this mean no more bullying?
Kath: Yes and one part of the triangle being knocked down.
(Kath smirks when she realises that Patricia is glaring at her)
Patricia: You lot are a bunch of ignorant bitches!
(As Patricia storms out of the dining room, she accidentally knocks into Brumby)
Brumby: Oi! Watch it!
Patricia: What is it, Brumby? I'm not in the mood!
Brumby: Look, I know you're ticked that Margo and Vicki got chucked in the pound but...
Patricia: Correction; Margo has been put in isolation.
Brumby: Isolation, solitary. Big whoop! Besides, I came here to offer you a deal.
Patricia: And what deal is that?
Brumby: You give me some dope and I'll pay you weekly.
(Patricia smirks)
Patricia: I like the sound of that, Brumby.
Brumby: How much do you want?
Patricia: $30.
Brumby: Done.
(Patricia and Brumby shake hands as Joyce walks over)
Joyce: What are you ladies doing standing around the corridor? Get back to the dining room this minute.
Patricia: I'm on my way to the toilet, Pringle.
Joyce: That's MRS Pringle to you, Holland. Let's get a move on.

(Meg walks in as Ann hangs up the phone)
Meg: Everything alright, Ann?
Ann: That was just Vera on the phone. Sarah West is coming back to us tomorrow afternoon.
Meg: Any particular reason?
Ann: Yes. It turns out that one of the prisoners at Barnhurst tried to poison Sarah with rat poison.
Meg: Is she alright?
Ann: Sarah's fine. Vera managed to catch the culprit before Sarah could eat the soup.
Meg: That's a relief.
Ann: That reminds me. The department called about an hour ago. We're getting a new prisoner tomorrow morning as well. Would you be able to do the induction?
Meg: Of course.
Ann: Thanks, Meg. I appreciate it.
Meg: Any news on Stephens?
Ann: She's being released from the infirmary tomorrow.
Meg: What about Gaffney?
Ann: She is being sent back to Blackmoor. I think it's about time we got rid of her.
Meg: She's nothing but trouble, Ann. When is she leaving?
Ann: 9:00am tomorrow.
Meg: At least there won't be any drug rackets going on.
Ann: I think Holland and McPherson have something up their sleeve, but we have to keep a close eye on them.
Meg: You're right. Anyway, I'm heading off.
Ann: See you tomorrow, Meg.
Meg: Good night, Ann.
(Meg leaves)

The next morning, Roxanne is taking Margo to reception. She is going back to Blackmoor.
Roxanne: You brought everything on yourself, Gaffney. You deserve to rot in Blackmoor.
Margo: You were a bent screw at Barnhurst and you're still a bent screw.
Roxanne: I happen to take my job very seriously to prevent troublemakers like you disrupting the place!
(They see Helen walking along the corridor)
Margo: Well, g'day Helen. Glad to see you all better.
(Helen slaps Margo very hard across the face)
Roxanne: Head to the shower block, Stephens.
Helen: Yes, Miss Howard.
(Helen smirks at a seething Margo as she walks off)
Margo: Are you not going to charge her?!
Roxanne: Just move!
(Margo and Roxanne arrive at reception to find two Blackmoor officers at the door)
Roxanne: She's your problem now.
Margo: YOU BITCH! I'LL GET MY REVENGE! JUST YOU WAIT!
(The Blackmoor officers drag Margo straight to the van)
Margo: THIS ISN'T RIGHT! I WAS SET UP!
(The van drives off)
*Credits roll*
Recap: Margo's attempt at having Stephanie bashed fails. Nicole opens up to Valerie about Lurch and Allison's deaths.
Mug shots: Kath / Rita / Merle
In the Governor's office, Ann is letting Margo, Vicki and Ronnie have it.
Ann: You three ought to be ashamed of yourselves! How dare you attack another prisoner just because she did the right thing!
Margo: The lagging bitch deserved it!
Meg: Quiet, Gaffney!
(Ann then turns her glare to Vicki and Ronnie)
Ann: Have you anything to say, McPherson and Kennedy?
Ronnie: Nah.
Vicki: Yeah. Stephanie will be hit even harder if she lags again!
Ann: Mrs Morris, take both McPherson and Kennedy to solitary!
Ronnie: What for?!
Meg: Just do as you're told, Kennedy! Now get a move on!
(Meg leaves with Vicki and Ronnie as Margo stands up)
Margo: *cockily* Well, I suppose I better off to me cell.
Ann: SIT DOWN, GAFFNEY!
(Margo sits back down)
Ann: I am not finished with you yet. It seems that ever since you arrived back to Wentworth, you've done nothing but cause trouble.
Margo: I haven't brought any drugs into the prison. I swear it!
Ann: You were planning on starting a drug ring in the prison!
Margo: But...
Ann: AND how about the name calling towards Merle and Nicole? How about that vicious assault on Helen Stephens, not to mention your bullying towards Allison Prior which caused her to commit suicide and the derogatory comments you made about Jenkins!
Margo: It wasn't just me!
Ann: YOU WERE THE RINGLEADER! *bangs her fists on the table*
(Margo looks shocked)
Ann: This is what's going to happen. You will be going straight back to Blackmoor first thing in the morning!
Margo: You can't send me back there!
Ann: I can do what I like! *to Roxanne* Miss Howard, take Gaffney to the isolation block.
Roxanne: With pleasure, Governor.
Margo: W-why isolation?
Ann: Because you don't deserve to mix with the other women! You're a coward!
Roxanne: Move it, Gaffney!
(Roxanne drags Margo away)
(Ann sighs)

In the infirmary, Kath, Rita, Cass and Nicole are visiting Helen.
Kath: How are you feeling, love?
Helen: Still a bit woozy, but I'm getting there.
Cass: Margo Gaffney is a prime bitch!
Helen: Wait until I get my hands on her. She'll regret ever bashing me!
Nicole: That's because she's a cowardly bitch that likes to attack from behind or with those slags Vicki and Patricia!
Rita: Nikki's right. That bitch is a coward.
(Sister Hall and Delia walk in at the same time)
Sister Hall: Good news, Helen. You'll be out of here tomorrow morning.
Cass: That's great news!
Helen: That's beaut!
Delia: Ladies, I'm afraid your visit with Helen is over. It's almost time for dinner.
Nicole: Well, we'll see you tomorrow Hel.
Kath: Uh, Sister Hall?
Sister Hall: Yes, Kath?
Kath: Should Rita and I keep an eye on her since she's not fully 100% yet?
Helen: Jeez, Kath. I can look after myself. *laughs*
Rita: We're not taking any chances, Miss.
Delia: All right, ladies. Let's go. *to Helen* Murray will be delivering your dinner, Helen.
Helen: Thanks, Miss Stout.
Sister Hall: Try and get plenty of rest after your dinner, Helen. You need it.
Helen: Thanks.

The women are having dinner when Kath notices that Margo and Vicki don't make an appearance.
Kath: I wonder where Bitch 1 and Bitch 2 are?
Nicole: Beats me. They're probably on extra cleaning duties.
(Jacko approaches them)
Jacko: Mind if I join ya?
Rita: Of course, Jacko.
(Jacko sits with them)
Cass: Do ya know what's happened to Margo and Vicki?
Jacko: Sure I do. Vicki got chucked in the pound for attacking Stephanie, while Margo's been shipped off to isolation.
Nicole: Good! It's all she deserves!
Merle: Yeah.
Kath: Why is Margo in isolation?
Jacko: Reyno's sending her back to Blackmoor.
Rita: Hallelujah!
Nicole: Good riddance!
Merle: Kath, does this mean no more bullying?
Kath: Yes and one part of the triangle being knocked down.
(Kath smirks when she realises that Patricia is glaring at her)
Patricia: You lot are a bunch of ignorant bitches!
(As Patricia storms out of the dining room, she accidentally knocks into Brumby)
Brumby: Oi! Watch it!
Patricia: What is it, Brumby? I'm not in the mood!
Brumby: Look, I know you're ticked that Margo and Vicki got chucked in the pound but...
Patricia: Correction; Margo has been put in isolation.
Brumby: Isolation, solitary. Big whoop! Besides, I came here to offer you a deal.
Patricia: And what deal is that?
Brumby: You give me some dope and I'll pay you weekly.
(Patricia smirks)
Patricia: I like the sound of that, Brumby.
Brumby: How much do you want?
Patricia: $30.
Brumby: Done.
(Patricia and Brumby shake hands as Joyce walks over)
Joyce: What are you ladies doing standing around the corridor? Get back to the dining room this minute.
Patricia: I'm on my way to the toilet, Pringle.
Joyce: That's MRS Pringle to you, Holland. Let's get a move on.
(Brumby heads back to the dining room as Patricia leaves to go to the bathroom.)

In the Governor's office, Ann is on the phone.
Ann: Okay, thanks for letting me know. Goodbye.
(Meg walks in as Ann hangs up the phone)
Meg: Everything alright, Ann?
Ann: That was just Vera on the phone. Sarah West is coming back to us tomorrow afternoon.
Meg: Any particular reason?
Ann: Yes. It turns out that one of the prisoners at Barnhurst tried to poison Sarah with rat poison.
Meg: Is she alright?
Ann: Sarah's fine. Vera managed to catch the culprit before Sarah could eat the soup.
Meg: That's a relief.
Ann: That reminds me. The department called about an hour ago. We're getting a new prisoner tomorrow morning as well. Would you be able to do the induction?
Meg: Of course.
Ann: Thanks, Meg. I appreciate it.
Meg: Any news on Stephens?
Ann: She's being released from the infirmary tomorrow.
Meg: What about Gaffney?
Ann: She is being sent back to Blackmoor. I think it's about time we got rid of her.
Meg: She's nothing but trouble, Ann. When is she leaving?
Ann: 9:00am tomorrow.
Meg: At least there won't be any drug rackets going on.
Ann: I think Holland and McPherson have something up their sleeve, but we have to keep a close eye on them.
Meg: You're right. Anyway, I'm heading off.
Ann: See you tomorrow, Meg.
Meg: Good night, Ann.
