Bea the Bully would be more competent than Inspector Grace and Erica DaviDUMB combined.

[@TallSilentGuy]

2:08 "I'll call the police." "No - get Bea Smith." That made me laugh because it implies that Bea is bigger than the police! MORAL: When you promise Martha a pony you'd better to prepared to deliver a pony or else!

Sounds like something from 'Shaft,' and so does another piece of incidental music I've heard in the series several times.

[@tammyramey7441]

[@MsVelasca]

How come Vera is not to jump to any conclusions about Bea Smith without having any definite proof, When Erica Davidson jumped to all the wrong conclusions about Karen without a second thought.

[@Summer21.]

ms velasca I don't know if the writers always thought about these things when they wrote those scripts, but it makes the characters look incompetent and hypocritical, unless it was definitely the writers' intentions in the first place to write what they wrote.

[@marycalmeiro1135]

Erica does nothing but jump to the wrong conclusions. Erica leaves another prisoner to protect another prisoner. What a joke. I have decided I like Anne Reynolds much better. Not so stuck up. Although she let the Freak get away with way too much

[@cyuiyuwyguiyui]

Oh,,Erica "clueless" Davidson in action once again. The whole prison wanted to kill that child killer,and yet they let her stroll around without a guard.

I can understand Ted Douglas's frustrations sometimes, her governance leaves a lot to be desired at times.

Some of the directors of Prisoner seem to be graduates from the Alfred Hitchcock School of Directing! Absolutely love the way the scenes were filmed. For all the glitches in the storylines / sets etc, the directing was pretty excellent in this series. Best series ever made!

[@cuccicucci4480]

Meg has the same sofa and tablecloth as the prison. Leanne is wearing Jean's blouse she wore to work a few episodes back. Noleen is wearing the same socks in prison as the socks her daughter wears at Meg's place. They recycle... good for them lol.

I love how non of the sets of the prison make sense. You see people coming in to reception from behind that small screen/wall near the shower, when there is no door there. Even if there were two doors and one of them was near the shower block, they would still not walk all the way around the screen/wall into reception. This was also used as the main shower, when later on there is a shower block on the level of the cells. Walls move, gates vanish, there are windows in places that can't have windows, I love it :D

[@soapsnthings4182]

I'm surprised Erica & the Inspector are scratching their heads over whether Bella wore jewelry. Every prisoner's personal effects (including jewelry) are always catalogued after a new prisoner has their induction.

[@pamelacook4896]

Yeap its funny how they miss little things! Like when bea shot her husband there wasn't never a trial on her but maybe since she admitted to it i suppose!

[@cuccicucci4480]

Yes but Bella was allowed to wear her own clothes and jewelry just as the others before her while being processed. When they get their uniform they catalogue their things. Lots of things are off I've noticed but it's a good show!

Melinda's lower than low. Uses her pregnancy to her own advantage for the trial, but once she's let off, she can't wait to abort it.

[@MrsLevinson175]

She's very calculating

[@xenazon9731]

+SoapsNthings - After all, the woman displays all the hallmarks of being a great mother! Right? She has every right to an abortion. It's better to abort than to keep it and neglect & abuse it. Do you honestly think she'll choose a man who will accept the kid as his own so the three of them can play happy families? Furthermore, putting the kid into (foster) care pretty much guarantees it will be neglected, abused and/or sexually molested - not always by the foster parents but by the other foster kids. But anti-abortion zealots don't like coming to terms with reality.

[@queeng5925]

Soaps ... there was an error here too. remember she didnt KNOW she was pregnant til Greg told her? then it was the basis of her whole defence... she wanted to provide for her baby she loved etc... ermmm.... she didnt know she was pregnant then.... she was hoping but didnt know

[@Nacho-Mamma]

Storyline continuity problem starting @ 9:48 Melinda is hysterical, and begs Dr. Greg to call her father, and ask him to come to court to testify on her behalf. This meltdown rant is the problem. In the previous episode, Jean Vernon had already told Melinda that her father was going to be in court & testify for her. So, that was already a done deal. Did Melinda slip into a parallel universe, where she never spoke to Jean to begin with? Between the time Jean had told her, and her crackup with Greg, did Melinda & her father have another falling out, and we just weren't told about it?

[@stephenpovey-jones6520]

Nacho Mamma Maybe she wasn't thinking straight because of discovering the body.

Wonder if they developed the idea of Martha's character into Merle later on in the series. And a similar theme between Bella and Kath's back story.

[@lamontbradford4630]

Yes it’s a copy cat storyline. Except they Merle more sympathetic.

[@NativeMoon]

Police & Davo logic beggar belief. Vera really is a twisted piece of crap. Melinda and her lawyer... Not quite Oscar worthy performances but you'd think Melinda would wait until she's out of court before smirking. Noeline is repulsive but she does manage to know what's going on even better than Bea in some respects. Bella's murder is supposed to be kept under raps but Vernon's shooting off her mouth in front of LeAnne. And of course LeAnne ends up with Bella's ring to shop.

[@ians5597]

[@marycalmeiro1135]

They need to call the police first. To investigate the homicide. 2:08 - instead of getting Bea Smith. So Eric can incriminate Bea Smith. They contaminated the crime scean, by having the doctor investigate. Moving the body. The body would have had finger prints, hair particles ect. The position of the body. Yes they could test DNA, definitely finger prints would be used. Being a prison, finger prints would be taken upon processing. Totally rediculous 😮

Sheri Heffner It was because of the master tapes not being kept in good condition, which meant that some parts had deteriorated. The video quality was bad, but some of the audio of those parts were still good, so they worked around those scenes, kept the good audio parts and then added an alternative scene just to fill in those gaps. 😃
