Ruth asks Dennis to take her to the Governor and accuses Joan of bashing her ){kind=small} . Ettie is questioned about the bank job, and claims Cody Jarret gave her the gun. Ann covers for Joan and claims that she and Joan were in her office together for half an hour. She suggests that Ruth must have had a nasty fall in her cell and be sufffering from concussion. Joan admits she is amazed at Ann's attittude, but Ann tells her there must be no further action against Ruth. Ann decides that Ruth must be prevented from contacting the media or anyone else about the incident. Daphne finds the torn up photo in Ruth's cell, but Joan arrives to recovers it just as she is piecing it together. Neverthless, Daphne has seen enough to know a man was handing a parcel to Joan. Ruth returns to her cell to find her phone has been cut off: Dennis warns her not to kick up too much of a fuss or the women might find out about her child pornography racket. Ettie's lawyer tells Meg he thinks says he can get Ettie's charges dropped. Ruth instructs Lou on the next step in her plan: get rid of Myra, and wean the women off grass onto hard drugs. Ettie insists her lawyer tells the judge she is guilty and refuses to allow him to apply for bail. Ann and Dennis collude to delay Ruth contacting her solicitor. The police work out Ettie's probable involvement with the gang that pulled off the payroll job. When she is confronted by the women about the photo Daphne found, Ruth blames Joan for framing Myra. Pippa is offhand and nervous around Simon: Ann arrives home and meets him for the first time. Perhaps inspired by Mervin's gallant speech to Joyce when he comes to pick her up for a date, Meg suggests she and Dennis move in together. Dennis caps it by proposing to Meg, and is accepted. Ettie runs rings around the police who are trying to get her to admit she knows Fellowes. Ann realises that Pippa is not pleased that Simon has left his wife. Ruth gives Daphne some cocaine to get rid of her when she comes to her cell wanting to chat. After thier dinner date, Mervin and Joyce return to his flat and test out the sofa bed and his record collection ){kind=small} . When Joyce returns to Meg's early next morning, she finds that Norm has left a note for Joyce to say that his colleague Beryl Simmons is being "very supportive". Myra returns to the women and is brought up to date by May and Willie. At Ettie's hearing, she shouts down her solicitor and annoys the judge so much she is sent on remand to Wentworth. Pippa tells Simon she might want to work in Japan or England, and can't do that if she's tie down in a relationship. Ann persuades the Federal police ){kind=small} that Ruth's contacts with the outside world should be cut. Myra lets Ruth know that she's worked out that it was Ruth who doped her and is about to bash her when Dennis arrives to take her to the Governor's office. Ettie is taken to her cell by Joan ){kind=small} . The Feds put more pressure on Ruth by pretending that one of the people she exposed has given them a lot of information and they threaten to discredit her with her husband by making it look as though it came from her.
