Further details
The inmates put on a musical for friends and family.
When news gets out that there's an after-show mingle, Luke sees it as the perfect opportunity to see Gemma and signs up - but he gets more than he bargains for as he is drafted in to direct and write the musical.
Dawn is furious when she learns that Creg has booked a five week holiday for them to the Falkland Islands and lies to him about being a lesbian. Creg doesn't take the news well and later threatens to cancel the after-show mingle if the Prison Governors aren't 'dancing in the aisles', adding pressure to Luke who has been put in charge of the musical.
But with Marcel demanding rewrites and Jason's new pop-up piercing business making life complicated - will he be able to deliver?
