S08E09: Donny escorts Janine to her mother's grave

Today is the day Janine and her secret Prison Officer lover Donny Kimber have a free day from Larkhall, as Janine has permission to be escorted to her mother’s grave.

Lou Stoke is glowing after the surprise proposal from Doctor Rowan, unaware he has no intention of divorcing his wife. She asks her sister Vicky to be bridesmaid and she reluctantly agrees despite knowing the truth about Rowan. Vicky is so desperate for him to continue to supply her drugs she is keeping the truth from her sister.

During a music class the Costa Cons are quick to spot Vicky is high on drugs and jump at the chance to blackmail her for some. But Lou walks in on the exchange and sends them all for urine tests.

Janine is in heaven during her day out; for once she and Donny can be a normal couple. She even persuades Donny to remove the handcuffs. But having tasted freedom, Janine decides she can no longer return to Larkhall prison and implores Donny to join her on the run. Donny urges her to reconsider; he will lose his job if she escapes. Or will he throw in his job for love?

Julie S is so moved after seeing a photo of her new granddaughter she decides to ask Dr Rowan for help to beat her cancer. Rowan jumps at the opportunity and suggests fighting for her rights for Herceptin. But is he doing this purely for Julie?

Meanwhile, Vicky is suffering from drug withdrawal and demands stronger drugs from Rowan who obliges. The drugs cause Vicky to fit and Rowan, realising how easy his life would be without her does nothing to save Vicky until Lou walks in.

But when Vicky comes to, she reveals everything to Lou forcing her to see Rowan for who he really is. Lou is furious that he used and conned her and loses her temper which forces Governor Joy to dismiss her from her job. And after many years of service on G Wing Body Bag at last gets a spring in her step when she is promoted to Wing Governor!
