[This is strange as he was facing a cell wall when the explosion occurred, so the blast seems to have knocked him sideways!] Joyce is sent to tell Wendy to call the fire brigade and ambulance. Susie's parole board continues with a fire alarm ringing in the background. Meg speaks up for Susie and says the parole board must recognise her initiative in getting the job for herself. This convinces them and they grant Susie's parole. Sister Franklin tends to Steve's burns, which she says are only superficial, but that he still needs to go to hospital. Colleen drops a heavy hint to Erica that Bea knows something about the fire, so Erica sends Bea to solitary. The fire officer says the fire was started deliberately. Colleen's suspicions about Bea are based on hearing her shout a warning to Steve. While she is being questioning by Erica in solitary, Bea notices the note from Helen is poking out of her jacket pocket, but trying to hide it only draws it to the attention of Colleen who pounces and grabs it. Erica confines her to solitary and tells her she may have to speak to the arson squad. Meg asks the parole board chairman about Judy's parole licence, and he says he can see no problem in reinstating it exactly as it was before if her appeal is successful. Susie overhears Erica in reception talking about the confiscated note to Wendy and asking to be informed when the post will be sent off as she wants to send it to Det. Sgt. Ryan. This information is passed on at lunch, but Judy says they also have to worry about the officers finding the still. Erica is amazed to meet Ted Douglas, who has already been told about the fire and comes to give Erica another little lecture on security. He leaves Erica stunned and resentful: she immediately phones Wendy and tells her to keep their conversation private, as she's decided to do something else with the letter. She puts it back in its original envelope, addressed to the Despatch, ![]()
