Following the escape, Rita heads to the building society where she successfully obtains the money and hides it in a safe place, but is eventually recaptured. She persuades an anxious Joan to collect the money as soon as possible in fear of it being discovered. It’s Rita’s birthday and her friends give her a celebration she’ll never forget; she steps down as top dog and offers the position to Kath. Ann finally receives positive news about the Prison Reforms program. Alice is offered a transfer to Barnhurst to be with Harry, but temporarily declines so that she can be with Rita. The announcement of Rita’s death spreads through Wentworth, leaving both prisoners and staff, including Joan, upset. Joan finally picks up the courage to go and collect the money, but is all what it seems?
