Denny returned to Larkhall...but without Shell. Two new inmates arrived - City high-flyer Cassie Tyler and Roisin Connor; both found it hard to adjust to prison life. After hearing Di Dump him, Barry violently attacked Barbara and then Shaz - questioned later by Mark, Di refused to back-up his lie and exposed him as a woman-beater! Barry later resigned. Neil asked Sylvia to take a computer class for the inmates even though she is totally computer illiterate! Shaz began digging an escape tunnel in the potting shed. Denny pretended to be interested in Al so that she could get information for Yvonne - she succeeded and taped Al's 'confession', landing Al and Maxi in deep water and to Yvonne finally being cleared!

...Shaz saved Yvonne at the last second, enabling Yvonne to turn the tables on Maxi. After nearly being killed, Maxi seemed to realise that she wasn't invincible and for the first time, seemed scared. Crystal went into labour and had to have her baby in her cell - she named the Baby Zandra, in her late friends' memory and Josh came to visit her. Buki seemed to take an interest in the baby and when on the MBU, took a shine to another woman's baby. She was later devastated to learn that both the baby and it's mother had AIDS. Neil continued to undermine Jim by calling a staff meeting so that the G-Wing staff could slag him off behind his back...A plan that seemed to work; did Jim really quit? Karen regretted going to see Jim when he sexually assaulted her - it looks like she now beleives what Helen Stewart said in her report. Cassie and Babs' plan to rig the canteen spreadsheet seemed to be working. Buki revealed to Mark that when she was 13, she had given birth to a baby that was dead w

Denny was distraught when she found out that Shaz had been shipped out. Snowball Merriman, a 'hollywood actress' arrived to fill Shaz' vacant bunk, but didn't get off to a good start with Yvonne. Neil finally told Di that he was gay - she then shocked him by suggesting they marry anyway for both their interests! The two Julies went on trial for GBH and watched as Rhiannon testified against them...they got 8 years. Yvonne and Cassie discovered that Snowball wasn't really a Hollywood actress - she was the star of numerous porn films! Babs confessed that it was her fault that Shaz was shipped out because she had confided in Henry, who had told Neil. Jim seemed to be getting very friendly with new inmate Snowball and Sylvia was annoyed when she was told to phone hostels to search for Jessie Devlin, Denny's mother.
