Selena meets the mysterious Milly, who is in fact Kris’ younger sister. She confesses that she is more deeply involved in the murder of their father than anyone knew and reveals a secret that could shatter Selena’s relationship with Kris—she is the real killer and Kris took the blame to protect her. Selena is furious that Kris has lied to her, not to mention jeopardised their future together. But Kris is remarkably unconcerned; she has already found another way out of Larkhall. Selena is stunned when Kris outlines her escape plan—underground through the disused hanging cell.

It’s the day of Al’s trial and Buki and Tina decide to ease her way to a manslaughter conviction by giving her a makeover and lending her some presentable clothes. Despite her best intentions, Al chickens out when she arrives at court and pleads guilty in order to avoid testifying about the abuse she suffered as a child. Later, she goes to speak to Julie S and confides in her about the true extent of the mental and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.

Denny’s planned art exhibition suffers a setback when the powers that be refuse permission. Neil engineers a compromise and arranges for Oliver, Phyl and Bev’s gallery owner friend to come into prison to take photos of Denny’s pictures so that they can be exhibited on the Internet. Neil soon becomes suspicious of Phyl and Bev’s interest in Denny and suspects that they are planning on taking a huge cut from whatever is left of her profits once Oliver has taken his commission. They are not amused when they discover that Denny is to be transferred to an open prison and away from their dubious influence. When Neil discovers that the picture hanging in Di’s office is a forgery by Bev, it’s the final straw and he places them both on cellular confinement.

It’s visiting time and Henry arrives to see Barbara. While they continue to make plans for their wedding, Kris informs Milly of her escape plans and tells her that she’s arranged for her to stay with their Aunt in Toronto until she and Selena can make their way out of the country to join her. There is one small problem with the plan and that is the padlocked metal grid that covers the entrance to the tunnel. In need of help to shift it, Kris decides to let Yvonne in on the plan. Yvonne isn’t interested though—once she gets confirmation from Lauren that their hit on Fenner has been successful, she’ll be able to do the rest of her time in peace.

Although Di is convinced that she and Fenner are officially an item, he has other ideas and starts sniffing around after Selena. She is sharp enough to realise that she can get Kris an easier ride if she sweetens Fenner up and agrees to go for a drink with him in the officer’s club. Unaware that he has a price on his head, Fenner is enjoying a quiet drink with Fenner when they are interrupted by a jealous Di. Later, Di and Fenner return to his house and, while he starts laying into her for showing him up in front of Selena, a pizza deliveryman pulls up outside on a moped. He approaches the house and rings the doorbell, while he waits for an answer; he takes a handgun out of his pocket.
