Denny and the other girls on the wing wanted revenge on Snowball for the bomb she had planted. Shell was extradited from Holland to Larkhall...but wasn't put back on G-Wing just yet! Sylvia discovered that Bobby had spiraling debts which he hadn't told her about and was overjoyed to hear the news of Shell's capture. Al and Julie O'Kane devised a plan to endanger Di, hoping that if they saved her, they'd get a pardon.

Shell arrived on G-Wing and got straight back to business...quite literally...with Fenner! Tensions between Denny and Snowball escalated. Babs regained some hearing but kept it to herself for Yvonne's benefit. Al and Julie O'Kane continued their plan to scare Di, who was too busy arguing with Neil to give it her full attention! A drawing on a bathroom door got her attention however! Henry popped a question to Babs. Snowball finally used the gun to escape...with Karen as hostage. Sylvia broke down as she lost the most precious thing in her life...!

Snowball's escape continued to go to plan...until she met up with Ritchie - will Karen get hurt? A grieving Sylvia returned home but revealed that she may lose her home due to Bobby's debts. 'Costa Cons' Phyl and Bev arrived at Larkhall, complete with their 'art' set. Yvonne was reunited with her son Ritchie and later 'adopted' Denny. Shell's first customer was Colin but how much longer can their arrangement go on? Phyl pretended she was a medium to fool Denny into thinking she was contacting Shaz. Meanwhile, just what is Di up to...?

Snowball has another escape plan up her sleeve, involving raw chicken - will Di be duped?!

Shell gives birth, which puts a spanner in the works of her arrangement with Fenner...resulting in his most evil cover story to date!!!
