Di comes down the stairs in the morning to find the evidence that Fenner used to stitch Karen up smouldering in the kitchen sink. Now he’s in the clear, Fenner shows his true colours. He takes great pleasure in informing Di that he’s had a vasectomy and then goes for the double-whammy—he wants a divorce and her and Dylan out of his house ASAP. Once at work, Di tries to confront Fenner in his office and ends up being punched across the room. Terrified, she is then forced to listen as Fenner tells her exactly what he did to Yvonne and how she’ll be in line for the same treatment if she doesn’t watch out. Di throws her wedding ring down the toilet and then goes to see the Julies—it’s about time they knew the true identity of Yvonne’s killer.

Phyl and Bev’s stint on the block has come to an end. Although they manage to turn on the charm and persuade Neil to give them back their red-bands, it’s clear that they’re both at the end of their tethers as far as prison life is concerned. At least there’s one light at the end of the tunnel for the Costa Cons—the cake scam they’re running with Frank. But Frank has decided that he wants more than just a kiss and cuddle and attempts to rape Phyl in the back of his van. Luckily Bev is quick to the rescue and her daring action proves fruitful when they suddenly realise that they are staring freedom in the face. After tying Tina up in the back of the van and propping Frank up in the driver’s seat, they’re soon heading out through the gates of Larkhall and out onto the open road.

Natalie and Spiers are preparing to leave for her outside visit, but Fenner puts a last minute block on their departure. He wants the pair of knickers that Natalie has hidden before he’ll let her go anywhere. After retrieving the last piece of evidence against him from inside the spine of a library book, Fenner gives Natalie the all clear. However, just as she and Spiers are about to drive through the front gates, Phyl, Bev, and Tina are reported missing. Natalie is absolutely livid when her visit is cancelled…she’s going nowhere! Later, Natalie tries it on when Fenner unlocks her cell but he wastes no time in telling her that she’s lost all chance of another temporary license. Pinning her to the bed, he informs her that there’s only one top-dog on G-Wing…him.

Pat smells a rat; she can’t believe that Sheena would be stupid enough to overdose on methadone on the day of her release. She confronts Di who is suddenly struck by an attack of conscience and allows Sheena to be reinstated on G-Wing. There’s another problem though, Fenner wants Di and Dylan out of his home. Pat is quick to offer a solution—she has a friend who would be willing to foster Dylan until Sheena is released. Although Sheena is relieved that Dylan will be well looked after and able to visit, she’s heartbroken when she has to hand him over. Meanwhile, Arun has noticed the spark of chemistry between Pat and Sheena and is quick to allow the green-eyed monster to surface. Although Pat denies that she has any sort of feelings for Sheena, it is clear that she’s floating down that river in Egypt—de Nile!

After informing Tina that they’re off to Ireland, Phyl and Bev head straight for the airport and the first flight to the Costa del Sol. Wearing wigs and carrying false passports, they make it through customs and soon its cocktails all round when the two return to their rightful habitat. To put the icing on the cake, one of their contacts at a top hotel informs them that they can stay in a luxury suite which is kept exclusively for a rich Russian called Sergei—all they need to do is put on Russian accents and pretend to be his sisters. There is however a fly in the ointment, unbeknownst to Phyl and Bev, they are staying in the same hotel as the newly wedded Hollamby and Dr Nicholson!

Hollamby is not living in wedding bliss at all. She is desperate to consummate their marriage, but her greedy husband seems more concerned with spending her non-existent fortune. After Hollamby points out that their marriage won’t be legal until it’s consummated, Dr Nicholson pops some Viagra and does the deed. In the suite next-door, Phyl and Bev are unable to miss the sounds of rather rampant sex on the other side of the wall, but it seems that they have made a rather more interesting discovery—a safe containing a gun and a rather large quantity of diamonds. As they make plans to depart with their newfound loot, Phyl and Bev are ignorant of the fact that Sergei is being brutally tortured by a gang of Russian gangsters who want to know where he’s hidden the diamonds he has stolen from them.

The final straw comes for Hollamby when Dr Nicholson loses a fortune on the roulette wheel and she is forced to reveal the truth about her inheritance, or rather her lack of it. After an initial eruption of anger, he seems to take the news very well and Hollamby is relieved, but his disappointment is concealing pure anger and at the first opportunity, he slips a mickey into her drink. In the suite next-door, Phyl and Bev are still recovering from nearly running into the newly-weds at the casino. Worse is to come when they receive a call to warn them that a gang of Russian gangsters are on their way up to their suite! While the Russians search for the safe, Phyl and Bev decide to plump for the lesser of two evils and climb across the balcony to the honeymoon suite. From their vantage point, they are surprised to see Hollamby gagged and tied to a chair an automatically assume that something kinky is going on. But then they see the syringe that Dr Nicholson is brandishing and realise that something a lot more serious is about to happen. In an ironic twist, it appears that Hollamby’s life is now in the hands of the Costa Cons.

Hollamby is terrified when she comes round. Dr Nicholson is adamant that he’s not going to spend the rest of his life tied to a woman he despises, especially one who is penniless and prepares to give Hollamby a fatal air embolism by injecting her with a syringe full of air. Just as Dr Nicholson prepares to do the deed, the Costa Cons erupt into the room and Phyl shoots him dead. As they untie a petrified Hollamby, they tell her to stay put and to tell the police that he was shot by the Russian gangsters. The gangsters are being arrested by the police in the hotel foyer as Phyl and Bev sidle towards the door. At first it looks like they’re going to get away, but then Hollamby appears at the top of the stairs and starts to scream. In her surprise, Bev drops the diamonds and all hell breaks loose. As Bev is pounced on by the police, she sees that Phyl has managed to recover a couple of the diamonds and urges her to make a run for it.

Fenner gives Di a handful of cash and tells her to find a B&B; he’ll have her belongings packed and ready for her to take by the end of the day. Spiers is quick to realise that something’s wrong when Fenner leaves the PO’s room and shows his concern by asking Di if she wants to go for a drink and talk about it…what is he up to? Meanwhile, Arun seems to have recovered from her attack of jealousy and is now playing matchmaker—she’s moving back to the four-bed dorm so that Sheena can move in with Pat.

The inmates watch the TV news with open mouths as they hear about Dr Nicholson’s death and Bev’s recapture. However, their shock turns to joy and excitement when they discover that Phyl is still on the run. Back in Spain, Phyl is now dressed from head to foot in leathers and sitting astride a powerful motorbike. After putting on her helmet, she revs up the bike and drives off into the Spanish countryside.
