When the camera scans the audience at a TV show where Jason Richards is appearing, Susan is sitting there zoned out. Suddenly she runs up on stage and throws acid in his face. She is returned to Wentworth and is fantasizing about her husband coming for her. Meg reads the newspaper and learns that Jason Richards is the stage name of Susan's husband Frederick. Susan has "split" the man in two: Jason Richards as the one causing her husband's absence from his family and Frederick, her loving husband. The inmates have learned Yates is a drug dealer and are making her life miserable, especially Bea Smith. When she corners her, Yates pulls out a knife she hid from the cafeteria and stabs Bea. The prison is locked down but Yates is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the son of Lyn's boss is attracted to her, and his dad warns him off: "She's a crim, son." Written by jeaneva See less
