Marlene gets a reply to her letter in her final mail call: the parents of the dead man say they have forgiven her. Joan gives evidence at Lou's trial for the attempted murder. Anita gives Marlene a crucifix on a chain as a leaving present. Under cross-examination, Joan has a blank spot while giving evidence and doesn't hear the question.

Anita suggests to Joan that she would benefit by taking some leave. Lou tells the women what happened in court.
