33:04 - Blimey! Jim's new girlfriend, Sarah, seems to live in Acorn Antiques (yet another place with no ceilings). I do hope she doesn't end up in Wentworth. And that judge's ruling made no sense. How can he rule that Lizzie should get a heavier sentence for provoking Kay White? Firstly, there's no evidence apart from Lizzie's testimony. With Kay White dead, it is impossible to prove that Lizzie was the only one who provoked her. Secondly, Lizzie was acting to stop Kay White running a book in prison. Since that's an illegal activity, the judge is effectively punishing Lizzie for trying to stop an illegal act.

Doreen was rather silly to go confessing the truth like that, but Erica could have shown more gratitude and appreciation to her for opting to tell the truth, even if it was belatedly. For Erica to show such ignorance and disrespect up to the point where she would interrupt her and not allow her to finish what she was saying was just unprofessional and very rude. So much for honesty being the best policy. Transferring Doreen to maternity was not the worst thing she could have done though because she likes kids and the change of scenery may do her some good. Poor Lizzie, five years is ridiculous and that judge is a complete swine! How Linda could witness that and live with herself is just beyond me.
