Kath swipes a knife and hides it in Rita's mattress. Maria finds it during a cell search but covers for Rita, who says she's being framed. When Brad arrives for a visit, Fisher denies it. He tells Kath he'll only let her see her son when he's completely satisfied that she has gotten Rita out of the way. He gives her back the knife stolen from the kitchen, urging her to kill Rita, but instead, she impulsively stabs him with it. When Rita happens upon them, Kath admits Fisher wanted her dead. On the prison monitors, Maria sees Rita dragging an injured Fisher into a cell. Just as she's about to sound the prison alarm, Maria is stopped by Kath who says the inmates are in charge now. She forces Maria to lock down all of cell block D. Nell radios Maria. Held at knife-point by Kath, Maria lies that Warden Grayson ordered a lock-down and search of D block. Nell radios the warden, who denies the orders. Kath gives her demands to Warden Grayson via radio. Fisher must be removed from the prison for good. Brad panics when Grayson orders an armed riot squad. Maria tricks Kath into letting her and Rita go off together to shut off non-existent vent valves in case tear gas is deployed. Alone, Maria encourages Rita to unlock her handcuffs so that she can get to a gun to stop Kath. When Rita hesitates, Maria promises she'll make sure Warden Grayson knows she helped, which will ensure that Rita isn't punished along with the other women. Nell convinces Grayson to allow Brad to talk to his mother and convince her to end the uprising. He tries but fails. While Kath is distracted by Brad, Fisher and Rita attempt to overpower her. Kath raises her knife to stab Fisher, and Maria fires her gun, but she misses and shoots Rita instead. Crystal's new appearance amuses Joe, who says she'd look sexy in a tent. Ricky announces he plans to move on. Sheila, Ben Cronin's secretary, won't let Karen speak to him, but he reads a letter she sent him asking for a meeting and decides to see her. Cissie breaks the news of Rita's shooting to Debbie. Debbie visits Rita following her surgery, and Rita realizes that she's paralyzed. Maria feels guilty about the shooting. Ricky decides to hang around a little longer after Brad suggests he enjoy time with his mother while he can. Karen explains her theory to Cronin, but he becomes angry and orders her to stop investigating him and his wife, who didn't really die. Learning what Karen has done, an enraged Joe threatens her. Afterward, Patricia eavesdrops as Karen phones her contact in Phoenix to say she's on her way to uncover every last one of Patricia Meadows' secrets. Written by Mark Faulkner See less
