I still find it absolutely unbelievable ! All Mrs Reynolds has to do to put a stop to the rumours about Nora killing the baby is just go into the rec room & put all the inmates straight ! She could tell them she spoke to the governor at her last jail & got the truth straight from the horses mouth ! Problem solved easy !

Reynolds’s has turned into a bitter COW. It’s not not like Myra tried to get rid of Meg, Dennis, or Mrs. Barry. She tried to get rid of The Freak whose worse than ever.

[@charlottewebb582]

They always think the guvnor and the department are liars so they probably wudnt believe her!! There not the smartest people at times 😂😂🙄

[@lamontbradford4630]

The department are a bunch of liars. And why would the ladies trust Ann at this stage? In the past she would have left Daphne off with a warning and gave Lexie extra cleaning duties for minor infractions in the previous episode. Like I said before Ann has turned into a spiteful cow. She makes Vera and The Freak look like saints.

[@ubetchya78]

I have noticed frequently, including this episode (542) the "recap" of last episode is a longer scene than we actually saw in the previous episode (541) - in this instance more interaction with Dennis showing up, Myra picking up the tray, and comments and glares between Myra and Freak that weren't shown in 541, then the mugshots.... which means I gotta be quick taking a bathroom break/drink refill between each episode! lol

I wasn't really a Bea Smith fan. So l could care less about her death. I have read where Val had issues with a few of her fellow cast members. And her attitude was of a diva.

Hungry Penguin It is good that Ettie remembered her from Barnhurst and mentioned her to Lionel Fellows. That is good continuity on the writers' part, which is rare because they don't always remember things in this show at times.
