To the point
(This recap was originally published on June 25, 2014. And for some reason I couldn’t find the pictures for it, so use your imaginations!) Previously on Wentworth, Franky Doyle’s quest to remain Top Dog cost a Korean inmate her life, and Boomer a lot of garden shed blowjobs. Joan, for whatever reason, was convinced that Bea…
(This recap was originally published on June 19, 2014.) First of all, you will be pleased to hear that this was the first episode of Season 2 that I genuinely liked. I think that was because it was the first one that used characters’ relationships to make the story stronger. Really the whole theme of…
(This recap was originally published on June 13, 2014.) First of all, I must thank Punky Starshine for doing such an excellent job recapping last week’s episode. I’m just jealous I missed out on that whole hair-smelling-Wild Orchid scene. Not that I need them to be a couple, but I’m a bit adrift without a…
(This recap was originally published on May 28, 2014.) Previously on Wentworth, the prisoners struggled to adjust to life under a new showrunner warden. Joan Ferguson lost no time in bringing the ladies to heel, and especially in shutting down Franky’s drug-smuggling operation. She also had some weird tension with Vera that made everybody uncomfortable. Franky, meanwhile,…
(This recap was originally published on May 22, 2014.) Hello and welcome back to prison! It’s been a long time since we have wandered the halls of cell block H together and much has changed. It’s not just the loss of Erica Davidson (Leeanna Walsman) and her predatory charisma, though she is deeply missed. It’s…
(This recap was originally published on October 31, 2013.) Hello, fellow prisoners. Writing this is only slightly easier than writing my final Bomb Girls recap, because I know that Wentworth will be back on the air next season. But it will be without Lara Radulovich and with Leeanna Walsman in a seriously truncated role, so I’m unsure how much of a resemblance it will…
(This recap was originally published on October 24, 2013.) Hello there, cellmates. After last week’s traumatic episode, we’re overdue for something light, don’t you think? All the inmates chasing after a magical emu, perhaps. So maybe Debbie isn’t dead. She just ODd a little, and it’ll probably teach her a good lesson about the dangers…
(This recap was originally published on October 17, 2013.) This episode, and one specific scene at the end, is one of the hardest moments of television I have ever watched. It’s just cry-until-you-get-a-headache, draft-angry-letters-to-the-writers, oh-god-there-is-no-justice HARD. There should be a crisis hotline for this episode. But if you are one of those masochists who like…
(This recap was originally published on October 11, 2013.) Previously on Wentworth, Jaqs framed Franky for drugs, sending her off for a long stay in the slot. Erica was sad to see her go, but also a bit relieved, since it left her emotionally free to pursue her engagement to her fiancé. Bea was increasingly worried…
