Heather tells the police that Bobbie was the only person near Reb when she found her. Joan apologises to Shane for hitting him and when she finds out it's his birthday, she says she will give him a birthday treat. Edna assures Marlene that everything will turn out for the best and says how much she misses her husband Harry. She suggests to Marlene that she drinks some lemon barley water to take away the taste of the smoke, but Marlene finds someone has stolen the bottle from her cupboard. Joan phones her father to ask him to use his influence to help her adopt Shane. The police interview Reb in hospital and take her dazed repetition of Bobbie's name as an accusation. The women complain to Joyce that their things have been stolen in the riot. Alice and Frances are both ill with severe stomach pains and vomiting. Shane sees that Joan has left her purse open on the counter top in the kitchen. The women wonder why only Frances and Alice were taken ill and whether Bobbie attacked Reb. Joan grudgingly admits that Heather handled herself well during the riot. Bobbie is told she will face the VJ and Meg will testify about hearing Bobbie threaten Reb. Marlene finds the stolen goods, including the barley water, in Frances and Alice's cell. Bobbie looks forward to Myra getting back and making Reb tell the truth. Leigh thanks Ann and is told that the Minister has resigned because of her allegations against him. Reb is surprised when Diedre tells her she has accused Bobbie of attacking her. Edna inquires after Marlene's health: Marlene lies and says she has been drinking the barley water as Edna suggested. Judy is bitter at the women's enthusiasm for Myra's return. Frances and Alice heavy Marlene to find out what was in the barley water. Marlene stops Bobbie in time from drinking some of it, and holds the bottle up to the light. Judy gives Myra the cold shoulder in the laundry. Marlene tells Judy she can see "flecks of stuff" in the barley water and says she thinks Edna has poisoned it: Judy agrees to take a look. Meg gets a postcard from Colleen on her European tour. Marlene clumsily knocks the bottle to the floor and destroys the evidence, and fails to convince Judy by argument of Edna's guilt. Ann shows Meg the letter discharging her as Governor of Wentworth.
