Episode One: Them And Us
A fashion show is about to take place at Larkhall and G-wing are busy practising. But when Carol, a pregnant inmate miscarries in the night, a near riot breaks out. Consequently G-wing remove themselves from the show. Helen Stewart the wing governor tries hard to form an alliance with Nikki Wade, another of the inmates, but is unsuccessful in her tries. A compromise is reached and the G-wing are back in the fashion show.
During all of this Jim Fenner is busy playing sugar daddy with one of the new inmates.
I find that this episode is one of the more tedious ones. Though I have to admit the scenes with 'Smelly Nelly' more than make up for it!

Episode Two: Drug Wars
Helen decides it is time that Larkhall did its best to prevent drugs from coming into the prison. Nikki Wades name is put forward to the DST and she is strip searched, Helen finds out about this and finds herself on the end of a verbal attack from Nikki.
New inmates Zandra Plackett and Monica Lindsay arrive at the prison. Monica is outraged by the way she is treated when she arrives but Zandra who has been at Larkhall previously has brought a little something with her to help numb the pain.
Monica is proving to be a very beneficial friend to some of the inmates. Monica however is only concerned about her son Spencer, who suffers from Down Syndrome.
Nothing ground-breaking in this episode but I thought the DST scenes were very funny. Is it a man or is it a woman?! Hmmm! I'm still undecided.

Episode Three: Love Rival
The consequences of Aims unprofessional conduct are beginning to show.
Another inmate, Crystal Gordon or the 'Singing Nun' arrives at Larkhall.
Rachel is finding Shells attention too much to handle.

Zandra is determined to marry her fiancé Robin in prison and goes through detox to prove herself to both Robin and Helen. She is heartbroken though when she finds out that Robin is engaged to someone else, and discovers she is pregnant with his child.
Quite a good episode concentrating mainly on Zandra. We're introduced to Crystals 'innits' for the first time.

Episode Four: The Victim
Zandra decides she wants an abortion and is accompanied by Lorna and Dominic to the hospital, but things don't run smoothly.
Rachel is suffering under the influence of Shell and the threat of her mother giving her baby to social services. It's too much for her and she takes drastic action.
Nikki is devastated when she learns her partner has been having an affair, consequently the relationship ends.

A good episode not only because there is lots of Helen and Nikki interaction but also because we see a vulnerable side to Denny.

A great episode again, nonstop laughs and a wee bit of sexual tension between out two favourite ladies.
