Joan makes a sarcastic remark to Meg about she and Colleen "setting up house together".

Faye pretends to go out for the morning papers to look for job adverts but straight after make a detour to the bookies to place her first bet on the outside. Bea is outraged when it becomes clear that Maxine is working for Nola. Colleen has to lie to Erica when Chris refers to the work he is doing at Meg's and pretends the job was already arranged before Janice came to prison. Erica comments drily on the remarkable co-incidence. Joan finds Maxine with money and an order book, but Maxine is amazed not to be put on a charge. Nola is displeased with Maxine for stuffing up on her first day. Joan uses the order book to prove to Nola that she can get more proof of her involvement in trading, especially if she leans on Maxine. In return for keeping quiet, Joan again demands half of Nola's takings.
