PO Paula Miles overhears Hollamby making racist remarks to an inmate and goes straight to Frances, demanding to know when something will be done about it. Frances responds by booking Hollamby onto a race-relations course. Now that Hollamby has been sorted, Frances turns her attention to Phyl who suffers the humiliation of being forced to dig up her drugs from the garden. At least she does have the consolation of a full night’s sleep and her old cellmate, Bev, back.

A prisoner arrives on G-Wing convicted of brutally murdering her husband’s uncle. But everyone is surprised when the killer turns out to be a softly spoken Muslim lady called Janan. At first, the Julies and Tina are sceptical when Janan proclaims her innocence, but change their minds when they hear that her crime was committed in self-defence and that her husband’s family lied so that she would be convicted of murder. The Julies try to persuade Janan to appeal but the situation is useless—her husband’s family will never tell the truth. The situation takes another twist when the seemingly docile Janan climbs up onto the roof of the storeroom to protest her innocence.

Frances makes an initial attempt to talk Janan down but is unsuccessful. Janan is resolute—she will stay on the roof until she receives justice and will jump if anyone tries to interfere. The Julies, Tina, and Darlene gather together blankets and food to pass up to Darlene. Once in the store room, the Julies and Tina start to pass up the supplies to Janan while Darlene stuffs her face with ‘Jammie Dodgers’. Then a PO enters the room and Darlene responds by knocking him out—the four inmates are now left with no choice but to join Janan on the roof.

Five days later, the prison is besieged by protesters and the national press are greedily lapping up the drama. Up on the roof, the women have suffered freezing cold and wet conditions and are now completely out of food. Tina is weak and hungry and beginning to crack, but she manages to talk herself into a second wind and joins the others in taunting the assembled screws below. Unfortunately, Tina is a bit too enthusiastic and loses her balance. Luckily, the barbed wire breaks her fall when she slides off the roof and she isn’t that badly injured. Meanwhile, Janan’s mother-in-law, Ishrat, arrives at the prison and reveals to Frances that Janan is innocent—she killed her husband’s uncle in self-defence. When she promises Janan that she will testify on her behalf, she and the women climb down from the roof.

Fenner arrives back at work and the PO on guard duty doesn’t think twice about handing over his keys. Carefully avoiding his colleagues, Fenner sneaks onto G-Wing and heads straight for G3 where he lets himself into Kris’ cell, beats her up, and then urinates on her. Alerted by Kris’ cell alarm, Selena arrives to the rescue, managing to drag Kris to safety before locking Fenner in. Dr Nicholson now has no choice but to refer Fenner to the local hospital where there is no doubt that he will be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. A tearful Di looks on as he is strapped down to a stretcher and wheeled away to a waiting ambulance.
