Doreen finally believes her. Margo is waiting for Doreen outside the cell. She tells Doreen that Bea is off her rocker and that something has to be done about her.

Jim and Mum have another chat - Jim is worried that Mum may have a bad go of it at her trial for harbouring Bea. Nick finds out his flatmates have been arressted for possession. He phones Meg for help, but she's off trying to help Mum's case. Meg discovers that the prosecution is determined to come down hard on Mum. Vera confides her feelings for Terry to Meg. Terry confides his feelings for Vera to Meg. Before anyone else can confide in her, Meg gets a call from Nick. When she tells him she is powerless to help his friends, Nick hangs up on her. Terry tells Vera that the only reason he didn't come in "for coffee" was because he doesn't want their relationship to be a one-night-stand. This pleases Vera no end. Margo, Bev and Lil burst into Bea's cell and attack her. They then drag her away. At muster, Bea is found missing. Margo smiles at Mum. A bloodied Bea ){kind=small} regains consciousness locked in a storeroom. The cramped dark space causes her to recall the tunnel incident. Then, in a flood of mini flashbacks, her memory comes back to her. Bea is heard pounding on the storeroom door and let out. She tells Erica that she doesn't know who attacked her - it happened too fast. Erica has her locked in her cell for her own protection. Jim realizes that Terry is serious about Vera and insists on giving the bet money back. Vera catches the exchange but, fortunately, doesn't understand it. Margo peeks her head through the bars on Bea's door and taunts her. Bea walks over to her claiming not to understand why Margo hates her so. She then grabs Margo by the back of the head and presses her face into the bars ){kind=small} . "I'm back, Margo", she says, "And if you tell anyone - I'll kill you".This episode summary was written by Matthew Bubb.
