Greg reports the loss of surgical alcohol to Meg and says he will have to tell Erica. Franky accosts Karen on the stairs, and when Karen rejects her and she hears Greg and Vera approaching she takes a tumble and accuses Karen of pushing her. Male prisoners come to work outside the wire to repair the drainage. Erica orders a cell search to find the alcohol missing from the surgery. Franky's brother Gary comes to visit her again, and he gives her a copy of the plan of the farmhouse he dreams of building. Marilyn is released: Eddie is waiting outside for her to take her to his flat. Lizzie brings the cat inside: Franky tells her she will wring its neck if she doesn't take it back outside. Lizzie lets the women know there are men outside and they will be back tomorrow. Erica asks Vera and Meg's opinion of Franky's prospects for parole: Vera is against but Meg suggests that her brother might give her some incentive to keep in line. Vera arrives home to find her mother sitting in the dark, but as soon as the curtains are pulled back she goes into full nag mode, eventually sinking back listlessly to watch TV. Lizzie finds the cat dead and attacks Franky for killing it ![]() ![]() Thanks to Roger Campion for correcting my assumption that Vera's mother is watching children's TV. It is in fact (even more ironically) a public service advert The set for the "employment agency"
