Ann meets Pamela as she is coming away from Wentworth to report to the Minister on the evenets of the previous night: Pamela tells her that Sarah is now her "problem" as she's been sent to Wentworth. Merle sees Sarah being manhandled to solitary and worries that she might be a "witch doctor". The other women tut-tut as Spider voices racist sentiments about Sarah and "blacks" in general. Sarah is locked in solitary shouting and kicking the furniture: Ann and Pamela come to see her later, but Sarah is still defiant and they decide to leave her to it. Kath tries to give money for bets to Rodney, but he refuses to take it, saying he won't sacrifice his career, even for her. Pamela accuses Ann of "inverted racism" for being too lenient with Sarah: Joan turns up on cue for Pamela to appeal to for a contrary opinion, but Joan backs Ann's decision. Wendy returns unexpectedly to Wentworth in civilian clothes asking to see Lisa: Rodney sneers that she's lucky to be alive, but she counters that he's lucky to have a job. Spider delivers the meal to Sarah in solitary and "accidentally" drops it on the floor: Joan puts her on a charge for disobeying an officer and when Spider has gone passes Sarah a photo of her adoptive parents.

Rodney threatens to put Sarah on a charge for having a photo of her parents in solitary, but Joan tells him she gave permission for her to have it.
