Wentworth | Season 8 Part 2: Episode 16, One Eye Open

Here we are agin, four weeks to go to what could be an explosive series finale!

Yes it is shaping up to be explosive with Lou and Judy putting their elaborate plan to escape into action. Judy, having had her privileges suspended, relies on Lou to pass on her information to a visitor in accumulating the proper equipment in making a bomb. However, Lou has a much greater plan in mind. Targeting the guards and staff at Wentworth.

Lou persuades Marie to steal Zaina’s phone and now that Lou is protecting Judy, Marie requests a transfer and asks Allie would she mind if she moves into H1, which casuals friction between Rita, Ruby and Boomer. 

Vera informs Will that Joan’s memory has returned. Vera also reveals Dr. Miller has been prescribing her Psuldrycin, but will have much difficulty in trying to oust Miller, as she has illegally obtained this information. 

Ann is becoming more desperate in trying to find the camera filming some nasty Boomer style amateur AF prison porn.

Ann offers to issue a bonus wage to the first officer who retrieves it and authorises a less extreme search than before, to avoid another backlash. Linda takes matters into her own hands and unsuccessfully attempts to take out an unofficial strip search on Boomer. 

Rita’s case begins to look encouraging when her lawyer attempts to track down Jonesy via a string of phone calls, until Marie receives a visit where she is informed that Rita is a cop, placing her and Ruby’s life in danger. 

Joan prompts Eve to make her move on Jake. When Jake rejects Eve’s advances, Joan tells Eve that Jake has a history of mistreating women, in the hope that she will kill Jake. However, Joan’s plan backfires when she believes that Eve has placed Jake’s body in a freezer, only to discover that Eve has set a trap by attacking her and attempting to lock her inside the freezer, for which Joan swiftly retaliates. 

Eve is later found with her left eye missing and holding a spoon. It is then realised that Eve has emotionally unravelled, yet Vera suspects that Joan is the culprit behind it. With no evidence, Eve is transferred to a mental institution. Jake is located alive and naked. Did Joan or Eve do something to a naked Jake?

The missing eye eventually turns up in Lou’s breakfast cereal, courtesy of Joan. With Joan muttering "I've got my eye on you". Nasty!

As Lou is about to tell Marie the reason why she is protecting Judy and agreeing to let her move into Reb’s old cell, Marie almost tells Lou the truth about Rita but suddenly the pair being to kiss one another. Is this the new Wentworth power couple?

Was this the end of Eve Wilder? What is lone wolf Joan/The Freak up to? Four episodes remaining, how will it all end? Will Lou conclude the series as the Top Dog?

Time will tell. Until next week.
