Franky's escape is imminent while Joan realises her time in prison is becoming more dangerous, while Liz makes a dangerous plan to 'take care' of Sonia.
After her ‘trial’ and near execution last week, Joan knows she is a marked woman and she is literally ‘freaking out’. Derek Channing refuses her many requests to be placed in protection and sends her back to the compound.
Will Jackson finally clicks that Jake was responsible for the death of the witness against Ferguson, Nils Jesper, he corners Jake and tells him he knows. Jake asks Will if he'll go to the cops, Will says no because Jake wouldn't..
Franky and Allie are pushing ahead with their escape plans, although Liz Birdsworth nearly throws a spanner in the works. She’s petrified of Sonia Stevens and begs for Franky’s protection. But after being warned off by Allie, Liz decides to take things into her own hands.
Boomer gives Sonia a cup of tea prepared by Lizzie. She drinks it and falls to the ground.
Will makes Jake realise what he has done for Ferguson.
Franky runs into the workshop and seals herself into a delivery box. Except Jake may have stumbled onto their plan. He informs Will Jackson that he’s discovered an escape plan and that maybe they can use it to their advantage. The crates are loaded onto a truck and it drives through the prison gates, Franky gets out and realises Allie’s crate has been taken away. In her pocket, she finds a note from Allie:
“You need to prove your innocence. I need to do something else. I loved Bea and Joan Ferguson took her away from me”.
Allie wasn’t in the crate. It was someone else. And as they do a roll call back at Wentworth with Franky not answering when Linda yells for her to come out, it crosses to Vera who is doing roll call. When Joan doesn't answer , Vera goes to her cell and sees that Joan is merely a bunch of stuff from her cell.
The prison is placed in lockdown.
She’s still in the crate and trying to bust out as it’s lowered into the ground. She begins to scream as dirt is thrown on top. She’s being buried alive. At first it seems Jake Stewart has decided to step up and deal with the Freak, but it turns out to be Will Jackson (Wentworth) As he walks away, Joan desperately looks around for a way to escape and suddenly notices a hand drawn picture nailed to the inside of the crate. It’s a picture of Bea Smith. Drawn by Allie. As promised, she’s avenged the death of her lover. Joan shrieks as the end credits roll.
