Series 2, Episode 4 - Muesli
Further details
Darryl is depressed as another inmate says his goodbye's as Tracey is visiting. He is also down that Tracey has come in with lots of news and he has nothing interesting to say.
Marcus has took Dorien's house keys by mistake and she can't get in, so Tracey agrees that she can stay.
Tracey decides that she wants to share Darryl's experience and understand what prison is like. She decides to turn a bedroom into a cell, complete with bunk beds. Sharon thinks it's a stupid idea, Dorien however, thinks it's a very good idea and agrees to be their warden. Sharon sneaks to the fridge and Dorien comes down hard, locking them in.
Meanwhile in prison Darryl's cellmate Gary is trying to cheer him up by showing him that a normal day inside can be like a normal day outside.
Dorien returns home to find the door has been forced and the house empty. She forgets that Sharon and Tracey are still locked in the bedroom.
The police arrive at Dorien's just as Sharon and Tracey climb through the skylight onto the roof, they throw tiles down to attract attention, one goes through the windscreen of the police car.
When they are arrested they get to spend the night in a real cell.
