AIRED:
Doreen is acting like a second rate Franky clone now she's back inside, rounding up a posse of women and slicking her hair back. Erica warns her not to cause any more trouble after the attack on Karen Travers. Later, in their cell, Lizzie tells her she doesn't buy her tough act for a second. Nonetheless, she causes trouble during Karen's class and bullies Lynn. After an upsetting visit from her father, though, Lynn promptly joins Dor's gang to steal buy up from the girls. Lizzie learns her brother Angus is dying and wants to see her. Lizzie refuses, until Bea talks her into it. Erica accompanies Lizzie on her day out, leaving Vera in charge. The wife of the man Catherine killed wants money from the Roberts as compensation. Steve angrily tells her to keep away or she will be charged with extortion and blackmail. Catherine refuses to plead temporary insanity. Barbara's case comes up before the VJ. On the way to the hearing, she tells Meg she intends to implicate one of the officers in a drug smuggling racket.moreless

    Doreen becomes a Franky Mark II and forms a gang, which Lynne is bullied into joining, as she is upset herself after a visit from her father. Catherine is mortified to be advised to plead temporary insanity, for protecting her daughter, and she learns that her victim's wife wanted cash for compensation. Lizzie initially refuses a visit from her terminally ill brother Angus, but is later persuaded to visit him with an escort from Erica. Meanwhile, Barbara attends her VJ hearing, and en route, she informs Meg that an officer helped her smuggle the drugs inside, unaware, that Vera was residing in Erica's absence.moreless
