[@1981Galadriel]

It looks like Erica was stunned at Vera showing so much concern for Lizzie!

[@LC-ys6ic]

Probably less concern but more just happy to be able to complain about someone's shortcomings (Paul Reid in this case).

[@derekhorne8076]

I think that's a bit unfair. Firstly, at that point she thought it was Doreen' fault not Paul's. Secondly, Vers had a bit of a soft spot for Lizzie at times - which Lizzie did share. I think Lizzie was probably just about the only person at Wentworth that actually understood Vera. As for Erica, I think it was a touch of surprise as well as happiness at seeing concerned for one of the women for once. I bet Erica was thinking 'well, bugger me gently!'

[@ianhemsworth8901]

That's a bit unfair.Vera had a soft spot for lizzie and in a later episode Vera saves her life

[@NikkiClo]

Aww Vera had a soft spot for Lizzie, Lizzie gave her that bar of soap for her birthday! Vera did have a heart at times

[@k8lynmae]

AmandaClody There are many theories about Vera and I wonder also if a part of Vera is that She is too scared to get too close to people in fear of getting hurt--so She subconsciously isn't always nice to people to protect Herself--staff and inmates, others, even though She craves friends. Notice also how sometimes Meg is really nice to Vera and sometimes Meg is a right bitch to Vera, when Vera didn't deserve it.

[@eugenedegeorge5084]

Katelyn spot on

[@Trev359]

@@k8lynmae That's why I much prefer Vera to a certain officer who came later. Vera was a much more complex character and there were reasons why she was like she was. You could feel sympathy for her. Whereas the later one was just pure evil.

Sometimes Vera is a bitch to Meg and it isn’t deserved. Vera seems like she has a split personality likewise with Lizzie being for Vera and against Vera. 😃

[@lampshade8818]

At the beginning of the ep, Lizzie picks up her case and walks a few steps with it, then sits back on it again. The guard immediately after tells Erica that Lizzie 'hasn't _moved_ since I've been here.' 20:14 Meg takes her dirty cup and spoon and takes it over to where the clean cups are kept and puts it down with those. Yuck! 34:36 The woman who's running the halfway house has some cheek being annoyed with Lizzie about bringing grog in the house- she suddenly asks where the bottle of sherry is that *she* put on the shelf!! If there's a ban on booze in the house, what's she playing at bringing it in to tempt the ex crims?!

Here’s the thing though. The amount of years Lizzie was in prison keep changing. 20 years now. 10 years the day before she was released, according to Davo. And, there’s one point where it’s said that she spent over 35 years inside. It’s kinda like that magic time that begins when the freak joins he show. She says she’s worked in the prison system for 10 years, then just a dozen or so episodes, it’s over 15 years, then she’s up to over 20 years of prison work. I’ve often wondered in Wentworth Prison is inside Pine Gap! lol

Viv at least had sense at the beginning, and Carolyn fucked everything for both of them cooking up that story and tampering with evidence. Viv was saying "look at my face.

Paul Reid forgot to post Lizzie's letter to Doreen. That's why Doreen didn't know Lizzie was getting out of Wentworth Detention Centre. So really Mr Reid owes Lizzie an apology for not sending her letter out to Doreen to let Doreen know that Lizzie has been released from Wentworth.
