The unlikely decades-long friendship between prison officer 'Jonesy' and repeat offender burglar 'Jonno', who are about to go their separate ways, in retirement and release to the outside world respectively. Meanwhile, a row has broken out over boiled eggs, setting Margo is on the warpath, and she is determined to root out the bullies who have taken more than their fair share.
This time, George Stores, responsible for running the prison shop, is faced with a challenge when the female inmates express their concerns about him buying their underwear for them. Can Deputy Leroy convince Head of Security Margo to let them go on a shopping trip? Meanwhile, repeat offender Craig is on his seventh stint in the prison. As a well-behaved inmate he has earned 'enhanced' status, and gets certain luxuries like use of a Playstation.
The fourth episode features a father and son serving time on the same wing. Ross Sr is doing a long stretch for dealing Class A drugs, and two months ago he was joined by his 18 year old son, also called Ross, who is initially on remand charged with Class B drug possession.
George Store is picking up sweet supplies from the local supermarket; but there's one chocolate he won't be getting; Kinder Eggs. Inmates hide contraband in them then put them up their backsides. Head of Security Margo thinks the record is five!
