David accompanies Elizabeth on the long drive to visit Freddie in prison. He offers to come inside with her, but she insists this is something she needs to do herself. Elizabeth notices a bruise on Freddie’s face, but he claims that it was an accident. He begs her not to make a scene. When she asks about his cellmate he changes the subject. Freddie’s resigned to the fact that he can’t make time go faster. All he can do is stick to the rules and earn a few privileges. When she returns to David, Elizabeth breaks down. It was awful – Freddie’s never going to cope.

Josh helps Ruth fit crayons and harnesses on to Brookfield’s rams. He’s heard from friends at college that Freddie was dealing for a long time before he was arrested. Ruth’s shocked to hear about Noluthando’s overdose.

Jill doesn’t feel much like celebrating her birthday tomorrow. She feels even worse when Elizabeth returns to Brookfield. Elizabeth’s furious, determined to write to the governor about Freddie being assaulted. Once Elizabeth has gone, Jill, David and Ruth discuss the rumours. It might be exaggeration – but how likely is it he was caught dealing first time? Freddie probably isn’t as naive as they’d like to imagine.
