Leigh becomes increasingly isolated from her sceptical colleagues. A guilt-ridden Rose takes a chance to make amends. Toby's suspicions lead him to his own investigations.

Further details

Now that she's CM, Leigh finally has the power to break away from prison-issue sticking-plaster solutions and tackle things in a way that will foster a new culture of trust and make life better for both staff and prisoners. She announces a drugs and weapons amnesty - but can she overcome the scepticism of her team?

Wrestling with her own guilt, Rose is assigned to look after young new prisoner James Fairley. Seeing him burdened by a life-altering decision, Rose takes a chance to make amends. But can she help James to make the right choice, or will she make things worse?

As Leigh's latest maverick scheme unravels in front of Governor Ray, she finds herself ever more isolated from the other officers. Even Jackie has run out of patience with Leigh's inability to trust her team. To make matters worse, Toby's suspicions of Leigh have led him to his own investigations - and what he discovers could expose her secrets once and for all.
