It's 2 weeks after the explosion and we finally learn it's consequences! Jim and other PO's got more than they bargained for in Amsterdam as a face from the past returned. Denny and the other girls on the wing wanted revenge on Snowball for the bomb she had planted. Shell was extradited from Holland to Larkhall...but wasn't put back on G-Wing just yet! Sylvia discovered that Bobby had spiralling debts which he hadn't told her about and was overjoyed to hear the news of Shell's capture. Al and Julie O'Kane devised a plan to endanger Di, hoping that if they saved her, they'd get a pardon.

Shell arrived on G-Wing and got straight back to business...quite leterally...with Fenner! Tensions between Denny and Snowball escalated. Babs regained some hearing but kept it to herself for Yvonne's benefit. Al and Julie O'Kane continued their plan to scare Di, who was too busy arguing with Neil to give it her full attention! - a drawing on a bathroom door got her attention however! Henry popped a question to Babs. Snowball finally used the gun to escape...with Karen as hostage. Sylvia broke down as she lost the most precious thing in her life...!

Outgoing wing-governor, Karen, does her best to save her job while working out her notice. Jim gets impatient with Tina because she isn't getting his photographic evidence quick enough. Noreen Biggs returns to Larkhall and is ill... will she keep a financial promise to Sylvia?! After advice from Noreen, Tina decided that Jim was using here and so helped Yvonne get evidence of her and Jim at it...which Yvonne promptly gave to Karen! Neil finally told the G-Wing staff the truth about his marriage to Di. Sylvia got what she deserved from Noreen while Di wasted no time in finding a new name to write on her mirror!

Phyl and Bev take the term 'open prison' a bit too far when they decide to leave and go to a posh restaurant! Karen shows all her evidence to Neil, which included Yvonne's photographs and a report by Tina. Fenner had to take drastic action to save his job and his freedom so decided to steal all the evidence from karens flat and also decided to steal her car. Di tried her best to pull Colin and got rather nasty when he didn't give into her! Sylvia rubbed her hands together with glee as the Costa Cons, who she has a score to settle with, returned to Larkhall. As karen's car sped down a street, knocking over and killing a pensioner, was the blonde-haired driver really Karen? - the police certainly thought so as they arrested Karen in front of all the staff and inmates on G-wing!

Fenner got new Wing-Governor, Di, on his side and then proceeded to put Yvonne down the block for no reason. New inmate Kris arrived on G-Wing but new PO Selena did exactly as she had promised and gave her ""A firm hand"" as she walked into her cell and kissed her. Fenner gave Colin a final warning about his affair with Yvonne but Colin didn't want to know. Buki was reunited with Lennox, who visited with Christopher Biggins, and was overjoyed when Chris gave her the offer of a lifetime. Fenner and Di shared a sticky toffee pudding and ended up in his bedroom... where Di revealed a secret!
