Bad Girls

The action continues from the point where we left off last time - as Yvonne is put down the Block, The officers learn from a news report that Shell's body was nenver found in the Spanish waters but Denny's was...alive! Josh felt it was time to own up to Crystal's 'Virgin Pregnancy' and told Karen the truth and offered his resignation. Karen had second thoughts about her engagement to Jim after facts, items from his locker and Helen's harassment case showed up, resulting in her throwing the ring back in his face! Yvonne was charged with Virginia's murder because Jim had planted Virginia's diary under her pillow! - unable to face life behind bars, she took drastic measures to escape and, with the departing Josh's help, knocked the power out, stole Sylvia's keys and managed it..or did she?

Yvonne's escape bid was foiled by Jim, Karen and PO Blakeson so she spent the week down the block. New PO Barry Pearce arrives on G-Wing, along with new Governor Neil Grayling, who seems to have big ideas for Larkhall...ones that dont involve Karen! Barry caught Di's eye and made such an impression that she asked him to move in with her. Karen tore up Helen Stewart's sexual harassment report against Jim. Sylvia was put in charge of the newly privatised canteen and got off to a bad start by selling out-of-date items. Neil demoted Karen to uniform and promoted Jim to the Wing-governor position! Shaz and PO Blakeson were on the receiving end of Barry's violent temper - are we seeing his true colours?

As Jim continued to play power games over Maxi, he quickly realised that she will not be made a fool of, and more alarmingly that she killed Virginia! Shaz and Barbara tried to stop Di making a big mistake by ringing and cancelling the wedding - they succeeded! After being faced with a computer, computer-phobic Sylvia took credit for Barbara's work, prompting Neil to give her more. On the night of the failed wedding, Barry hit Di at her house; does she now see his true colours? Jim asked Yvonne to help him nail Maxi after being blackmailed by her over 'his' part in Virginia's death.

Denny returned to Larkhall...but without Shell. Two new inmates arrived - City high-flyer Cassie Tyler and Roisin Connor; both found it hard to adjust to prison life. After hearing Di Dump him, Barry violently attacked Barbara and then Shaz - questioned later by Mark, Di refused to back-up his lie and exposed him as a woman-beater! Barry later resigned. Neil asked Sylvia to take a computer class for the inmates even though she is totally computer illiterate! Shaz began digging an escape tunnel in the potting shed. Denny pretended to be interested in Al so that she could get information for Yvonne - she succeeded and taped Al's 'confession', landing Al and Maxi in deep water and to Yvonne finally being cleared!

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!
