Episode 1 - The Phone Call

Romance is blossoming between Jenny and Gerry, who are both opening up to each other about their past lives. Stag do's and hen parties aren't quite the fun they used to be, as international crises are narrowly avoided in Poland and wedding plans might be cancelled after a confession about a wild night out in Soho. Things are hotting up between the jail mates, but will they take their relationship to the next level?
