I have been rather busy with October TV Finales, so Wentoworth recaps slid aside for a brief minute. However it's time to catch up on episodes Collateral and The Abyss
Episode 17 - Collateral:
Allie’s on the verge of breaking point after finding Ruby in bed with Zaina. Allie feels that she is worth nothing now that she lost all sensation from the waist down.
Rita is curious to understand why Marie hasn’t yet informed the women that she is a cop. Whilst Marie reveals to Rita that Lou holds the officers responsible for Reb’s death.
Rita lags to Will that he and the other staff are in danger causing an angry Linda to confront Lou and physically threaten her.
Dr. Miller realises just how deep he is in with Joan after what she did to Eve. He is certain that she will not be able to contain her murderous urges.
Boomer gives Gavin a blow-by-blow account of what to expect with her hidden camera footage. This story line is not really going anywhere. Until Boomer and Gavin, shag. Gross.
However Gavin is caught trying to smuggle the camera out. Linda AKA Smiles is the one to make the discovery, then demands the month's extra pay from Ann. Who is getting more loose by the week!
Ann checks its contents and discovers an accidental recording of Lou and Judy discussing the bomb escape and notifies a National Security Officer (Gary Sweet, does he appear on every Australian TV series at least once?)
Gary Sweet, insists waiting until they are caught red-handed with the equipment.
Vera and Will enlist Allie’s help in having Miller removed from the service. Having been rejected by Ruby in the showers, Allie loses control and repeatedly stabs her legs with a shiv which Miller puts down to PTSD.
While Miller is comforting Allie, she kissed him and is informed by Vera and Will that they know the truth about Joan and give him the opportunity to resign peacefully or they’ll report him for taking advantage of a prisoner.
Lou believes that Joan is lagging to the officers and puts her hand in the steam press, but later slaps a deceitful Marie when she finds Zaina’s phone on voice recorder planted in her cell.
The women of H1 reluctantly welcome Marie to their unit. As Joan’s court case draws closer, and with Miller’s career now in jeopardy, she decides it’s time to bring the photos of Vera, Will and Jake out into the open. Cliffhanger, until we get into episode 18, the third last episode before... maybe a BIG bang!
Episode 18 - The Abyss:
In receipt of the photo, Vera confronts Joan, warning her she is prepared to confess all to her role in the burial, as the crimes she’d be facing are far less severe than the ones facing Joan.
Joan reminds Vera that it is Grace who would suffer, should Vera be jailed.
Backed into a corner, Will summons Joan to his office and concedes, agreeing not to stand in the way of she and Dr Miller, in exchange for her silence. Joan agrees.
Later, the police visit, having discovered the fake passports that Joan had obtained for her and Grace. Realizing she was planning to kidnap her daughter, Vera plans to poison Joan. When Jake inadvertently intercepts the poison and nearly swallows it, Vera retracts, upset that she almost had stooped to Joan’s level.
Joan secretly makes her own attempt to kill Vera, in the library. Her attempt never happens following Ann entering the library when Joan is lurking.
Ann rips Vera a new one for failing to help her with a personal matter the previous evening.
Rita watches a news report relating to the assassinated United States Secretary of State and deduces that Judy was responsible.
Believing Marie lagged on her and Judy’s escape plan, Lou plans to punish Marie with the steam presser. Marie fights off Lou’s henchwomen with a blade and is slotted by Linda.
Boomer takes a pregnancy test and is ecstatic when it comes back positive.
Rita is visited by the police and charged with Detective Morelli’s murder. Ruby too is charged as an accessory. Her solicitor warns Rita that while the evidence does support her version of events, it equally supports Jones’ and a jury is more likely to accept his version.
Rita is devastated. Upon learning of this, Judy invites Rita in on the escape attempt, in exchange for her silence. Rita considers, much to Ruby’s disgust.
Lou then obtains the phone Marie had used to record all their conversations and listens to her illicit conversation with Detective Jones. Therefore uncovering Rita is/was an undercover cop.
Marie tries to warn Rita, but by the time she is released from the slot, it is too late. Lou outs Rita to the entire prison in the exercise yard. Marie and Ruby try in vain to intervene. Rita is brutally beaten by Lou’s squad. The episode ends with another cliffhanger. Two episodes remaining, who will survive?
