When Colleen expresses doubts about having a male nurse, Joan pointedly comments that you don't have to be a man to be accused of "interfering" with the prisoners. Neil instantly diagnoses Chrissie's condition as a "good rub with a hairbrush", adding that there's a lot of it about. [So who are these other women driven to hairbrush abuse in a frenzy of lust? Lorna? Lil? ... Tina?!] He sends Chrissie away, but doesn't report her to the officers. When Bea finds out where Chrissie has been, she comments that it's a plumber Chrissie needs, not a doctor, but Chrissie is still convinced that Neil is interested in her. Faye gets permission from Bea to start up the book again, though Bea insists that they aren't going to put money in Joan's pocket and if Joan finds out, Faye must stop the book straight away. Judy complains to Meg of the poor quality of applicants she's had for the halfway house job, when a young man arrives who's been referred by the CES. His name is Tony Berman and despite her initial mistrust, Judy is impressed by his qualifications in social administration and experience in counselling and voluntary work. Judy admits she hasn't actually got permission to employ anyone, but says she'll let him know. Maxine arrives back and gives Tony her vote before handing over a dinner service which is supposedly a present from "the boys". However, Maxine has lots of other goods in her haversack which she hides in the wardrobe in her room. Faye apologises to Paddy for making fun of her, and offers to let her be bookie's runner. When Paddy doesn't seem too keen, Faye implies she can get Joan to have Paddy sent to solitary if she doesn't agree. Bea notices that Joan does nothing when she walks into the rec room while Faye is taking bets and reminds Faye of their agreement. Paddy steps in and tells Bea to leave off, and Bea has to back down when Faye reminds her she's in danger of losing her parole. Judy phones Meg to tell her she's giving the job to Tony. Joan is not pleased when she has to chase up Faye to get her cut. Chrissie makes eyes at Neil, and gets the wrong idea when he gives her the pill as a treatment for a "hormonal problem". Bea tells Paddy that she's prepared to sacrifice her parole to teach her a lesson if Paddy doesn't get back in line. Maxine sells stolen goods to a couple of women who visit the halfway house shop ![]() ![]()
