She means "solitary". And also that Judy seems to get through two shirts in one morning. Try anti-perspirant, love... | Colleen and Judy drag Hazel away from Officer Bailey and Sister Franklin is summoned to give her a sedative. Susie tells Judy she doesn't want to end up like Hazel and is going to get out as soon as she can. Judy warns her to be careful about who she talks to about her plans. Marie announces in the laundry that she's taking over, but Judy tells her she will need the women's support. if she wants to stay on top. Margo refuses to support Marie unless she can see some benefit for herself. Susie asks Mouse if she's ever been up on the roof. Mouse tells her about the riot after Sharon's death and tells her she only remembers two big air vents from the air conditioning. Marie gets an extra 12 months from the VJ. Erica tells Meg that Sandy is now officially listed as an escapee. Mouse notices Susie swapping buyup goods and works out that she's laying in supplies for an escape. Marie snatches half of the buyup from the women who aren't likely to fight back. Judy tells her to give it back, but she just throws it over to Margo, Lil and Bev to buy a little instant support. Hazel pounds on the door of solitary demanding to be let out, but she only attracts the attention of one of the mute prison officers who goes to Colleen and mouths a quick report. Colleen sends Sister Franklin to sedate Hazel again. Meg catches Mouse trying to smuggle out scraps of material as Susie had asked her to, and tells Meg she is making a patchwork quilt. Even Mouse is surprised that Meg falls for such an obvious lie. She takes the scraps to Susie, who jumps about a foot in the air when Mouse creeps into her cell as she's weaving the strips into a rope to climb down from the roof. Erica overrules Colleen's objection and follows Sister Franklin's recommendation to put Hazel back in her own cell. Marie announces she's going to be running a book. Margo tries to object but realises it's futile. Colleen walks in on Ian's "hilarious" imitation of Joyce Barry after losing her specs and hauls Janet out of the workshop to demand to know why she stood there and let him carry on. Janet puts up a good defence of Ian, pointing out that the women aren't going to making trouble if they are in good spirits. Colleen is for once lost for an answer. Susie excuses herself from lunch and is sent to her cell to lie down: she collects the rope and arranges pillows under the sheet to make it look as if she's in bed. Marie demands that Kate acts the waitress and gets the meals for her and her supporters. Bea walks in at that moment and tells Marie to get it herself. Having seen off Marie, Bea sits down opposite Kate and tells her to go and get her a meal. Susie unscrews the grille on the air-conditioning vent in the workshop and climbs in. ![]() ![]() ![]()
