The Governor's Pleasure

Episode 3.01 (23)
Tue, April 07, 2015 (SoHo)
Written by Stuart Page
Directed by Kevin Carlin

Having returned to Wentworth Correctional Centre after being sentenced to life without parole for the killing of Brayden Holt, Bea has assumed the mantle of Top Dog, hailed by all — including Franky Doyle herself — as a worthy successor. Franky may no longer be Top Dog but she's not about to forget how Liz lagged on her, and Boomer is set make Liz pay.

Ferguson slots Bea and releases Liz from protection, exposing Liz to a brutal bashing from Boomer. But Ferguson has underestimated Bea, who starts a riot amongst the prisoners.

With the prison in lock-down Ferguson has to turn to Bea to quell the riot. Wentworth isn't Ferguson's prison — it's Bea's. Battle lines are drawn.

Meanwhile, Doreen's baby bump is growing and Ferguson is watching her closely. While Vera's instincts are more attuned to Ferguson's scheming, Will is none the wiser despite Fletch's apparent hit-and-run accident.
