Stand-In and Whale
Harry is sent a new prison warden when Peter is sent to the mainland for some urgent diversity training. And The Egg's future is thrown into jeopardy by a pair of mating whales.
When Peter is sent back to the mainland to undergo some urgent diversity training, Harry and Ann are given a replacement guard by The Minister. Warder Leo Hatchet is a tough, uncompromising new screw and soon makes his mark on the prison's regime. But in doing so, has he destroyed The Egg's ambiance? And what about Peter? Will The Minister allow him to return to The Egg, if Hatchet's already doing his job quicker and better? And in the second episode, The Egg is battered by a pair of mating whales, who are mating rather too enthusiastically. But they are also endangered, so Harry has to think of more creative ways than the harpoon to ward them away from The Egg.
