Disappointed when the fax he sent to Frances didn’t result in Selena’s sacking, Fenner sends it onto Neil anonymously. Kris is now on the run after her dramatic escape and, as far as Neil’s concerned, this new evidence has placed Selena firmly in the frame as her accomplice. Later, Selena finds Kris on the canal bridge where Milly jumped to her death. Duty-bound to hand Kris in to the authorities, Selena manages to convince her to give herself up. However, Kris has a condition—she wants them to have one last night together in a posh hotel first. Selena pays for a room in a top hotel and then sneaks Kris in. After a night of passion, Selena wakes in the morning to find that Kris has gone.
Tina is convinced that she is pregnant and is naively planning a rosy future with Ben once she is released. She crosses Bev’s palm with a bottle of vodka and asks her to contact Al in the hopes that she will be able to confirm her pregnancy from the ‘other side’. The lights are dimmed in the Costa’s cell and wide-eyed Tina and Darlene are soon treated to the voice of gruff Scottish Al coming from the mouth of Bev. As Darlene and Tina listen on in shock, ‘Al’ reveals the name of her murderer—Natalie Buxton! After hearing this revelation, Darlene erupts onto the wing and attacks Natalie. But Natalie is fearless and wily and before long she takes the upper hand, eventually leaving her opponent writhing on the floor in agony.
Karen is relieved to have some evidence of Fenner, but it is quickly dismissed by Neil and Rob. Convinced that she is right, Karen waits outside the gates of Larkhall and takes some photos of Fenner. She then takes the photographs to Rob and asks to have them scientifically compared against the image on the tape. Rob is becoming convinced that Fenner is obsessed with Karen and informs her that there’s a strong possibility of him keeping trophies such as photos, clothing, and other personal belongings—if they could find this evidence, it would definitely strengthen Karen’s case. Unsettled by Karen’s appearance at the prison gates, Fenner visits a dark lock-up where he keeps what only could be described as a shrine to Karen.
Tina says a tearful farewell to Darlene and the Julies and then leaves G-Wing for the last time. She steps through the prison gates expecting to find Ben waiting for her, but he’s nowhere to be seen. Heartbroken, Tina trudges off alone. Meanwhile, Frances receives a surprise visit from Colin who is back from a stint in rehab. He’s still unsure of where they stand and demands to know the reason for Frances’ erratic behaviour towards him. Over drinks in her office, Frances reveals that she was once badly hurt when the man she loved dumped her for her own sister, after that, she swore never again to allow a man close enough to hurt her.
It’s the day of Fenner and Di’s wedding and they receive an extra special present in the post—a letter informing them that Fenner has won his case against Neil. A devastated Neil shares the unhappy news with a dejected Karen who is preparing for her first day in court. Things look very grim for Karen when the court adjourns for the day, but as she steps outside, she finds Neil waiting for her. He has received photographic proof from Rob that Fenner was definitely the man on the CCTV tape.
After the hotel receptionist spots Kris sneaking out of the foyer, the police are once again hot on her trail. When they discover that Selena’s name is listed on the hotel register, the haul her in for questioning, now convinced that she aided and abetted Kris’ escape. But then news comes in of Kris—she’s standing on top of a London monument, loudly proclaiming her innocence as the streets grind to a standstill below her. Selena persuades the police detective in charge to take her to the scene and to then allow her to climb up to the top of the monument to talk her down. After failing to talk some sense into Kris, Selena produces a pair of handcuffs and shackles them together. She turns to the crowd below and vocally joins Kris’ protest.
Darlene is terrified when she finds a voodoo doll in her bed and then later, when she discovers a bloody sheet in her laundry. She’s now convinced that Natalie has placed a hex on her. Even Phyl and Bev are amazed by the depths to which Natalie has sunk to in her quest to intimidate Darlene and accuse her of going too far. But Natalie’s satisfaction is short-lived when Frances arrives with news that she is to be transferred to another prison. Just as Natalie is being taken away, the inmates see Kris and Selena on the television and become convinced that Natalie was telling the truth about their affair. Frances is left looking very uncomfortable.
Di and Fenner’s wedding goes off without a hitch and before long, the happy couple are walking out under a PO honour guard. Hollamby is over the moon when she catches the bouquet, but the same can’t be said for her escort, Dr Nicholson. The reception is well under way when Karen and Neil return to give Fenner their wedding present—a framed copy of Rob’s photographic evidence. Although Di steps forward eagerly with an alibi for the date printed on the photo, Hollamby refutes it—it was the anniversary of Bobby’s death and Di spent the entire evening with her at her flat. When his staunchest ally deserts him, Fenner breaks down. He crumbles into a nearby chair as Karen and Neil look on in satisfaction.
Fenner walks onto a prison wing…only this time, he’s wearing the uniform of an inmate.
