The police arrived at Jim Fenner's house and interviewed both him, and his wife Marilyn about Shell Dockley, and Jim's assault on her. Marilyn and Jim decided to stay together for the children's sake but Jim persuaded Marilyn to send Shell a letter, saying that she had broken up their marriage. Stubberfield told Karen Betts that he wanted her to take over as wing governor after Helen's departure. New Prison Officer, Di Barker, arrived on the wing and seems like a nice quiet girl. Julie J learned that her kids are back in the UK and wanted them to visit. Bodybag took great pleasure by refusing. Jim returned to the wing; he confiscated all the letters that he had sent Shell – now she had no evidence against him. He even told her that he loves her - just so she would lie and tell Stubberfield that she made up the allegations. She did and Stubberfield believed her. Denny's mother, Jessie, didn't show up for the visit. The Julies polished the stairs more than was necessary – Sylvia fell do

Tina was visibly distraught after discovering who murdered Virginia. Neil made himself more unpopular by banning the officers smoking and using the Gym. Yvonne had a catfight with Maxi and to her surprise, Tina joined in to help her! - is this the end of the Peckham Boot Gang? Denny and Shaz' tunnel plan took a possibly tragic twist when Buki found out and demanded to be a part of the operation...a tunnel collapse put her life in danger! Julie J's daughter Rhiannon showed up on G-Wing. Karen seemed to be getting close to Mark but Jim, for some reason, warned her off him. Sylvia's computer class was a disaster because of her less-than-basic skills and with the fact that pornography was found on the second-hand machines. Jim moved in with Neil but...shall we say...(as numerous hints suggested) why exactly did his wife divorce him...?!

Sylvia and Mark managed to save Buki's life after the tunnel collapse. Roisin told Cassie that she had withdrawn the statement and so was staying at Larkhall. Rhiannon asked Buki to get her drugs but Buki was scared off by the Julies. Jim tried harder to split Karen and Mark up, this time by banning them acting like a couple at work. Roisin asked Buki for ""something to help her sleep"". The Julies took painful revenge on Rhiannon's boyfriend/pimp by tipping boiling water all over him in the visiting room - they were put on report and were devastated to discover that they would have been released in a few days because without Virginia, the case against them collapsed!

Denny was distraught when she found out that Shaz had been shipped out. Snowball Merriman, a 'hollywood actress' arrived to fill Shaz' vacant bunk, but didn't get off to a good start with Yvonne. Neil finally told Di that he was gay - she then shocked him by suggesting they marry anyway for both their interests! The two Julies went on trial for GBH and watched as Rhiannon testified against them...they got 8 years. Yvonne and Cassie discovered that Snowball wasn't really a Hollywood actress - she was the star of numerous porn films! Babs confessed that it was her fault that Shaz was shipped out because she had confided in Henry, who had told Neil. Jim seemed to be getting very friendly with new inmate Snowball and Sylvia was annoyed when she was told to phone hostels to search for Jessie Devlin, Denny's mother.

Neil and Di further discussed their sham marriage. Rhiannon was overcome with guilt after the Julies got 8 years - Julie S told her that she wouldn't forgive her until she went to college and turned her life around. We learned that Snowball was planning a breakout and that her partner in crime was no other than Ritchie Atkins! Henry asked Babs what she was going to do when she was released. Mark left Larkhall forever but not before nutting Jim right where it hurts! Denny was devastated to learn from Sylvia that her mother had died and was moreuspet when she discovered that a birthday card among her mothers things was faked, by the Julies. Crystal was finally released and was met at the gate by Josh and baby Zandra, and a present from Di to make up for the things she had done in the past. Snowball told Jim that there was a planned breakout...but that it was Yvonne who was planning it!
