Dr. Miller takes Joan to the creche.

Things are not going well at Wentworth. After the attack on Ann Reynolds in episode 8x07, 'Battle Lines', the Prison has gone into lock-down as Governor Jackson and the other Officers attempt to hunt down the culprit. With the women cooped up for days, tensions are running especially high.

Here are the five most important moments from 'Goldfish Part Two'.

1. The Story of the True Path treatment facility

Early in 'Goldfish Part Two', Reb Keane is seen watching a news report about an arrest made in connection with events at the 'True Path' treatment facility. Reb is clearly troubled by the reports, and must be comforted by Lou. It soon becomes apparent that True Path was the facility seen in flashback in episodes one and two of this season, where Reb and Lou first met.

Reb eventually confesses to Marie that his Mother had sent him to True Path for 'treatment'. It was here that he first met Lou, although Lou's reasons for being at the facility are still unknown at this point. It eventually turned out that True Path was actually a cult. The patients/residents agreed to a mass suicide, and only Reb and Lou escaped alive.

New inmate Sheila, set to arrive in next week's episode, is said to be connected to True Path.

2. Allie lags on Lou

After the attack on Ann in 'Battle Lines', the inmates of Wentworth have been placed under a strict lock-down. After a few days trapped in their units with no end in sight, the Prisoners begin to turn against their Top Dog, Allie. Unfortunately, Allie cannot negotiate an end to the lock-down without giving Will the name of Ann's attacker, which would mean committing the ultimate sin among prisoners: lagging.

When the women riot in the hope of ending lock-down, Allie, desperately hoping to avoid any bloodshed if the Riot Police were to be called, eventually points the finger at Lou, acting on a false tip from Ann's true attacker, Judy. Once again, Allie's confidence is shaken. Ruby, trying to help, asks what Bea Smith would have done, getting this slightly ominous reply:

"Bea lagged once. She did it to protect me.. It was the last thing she ever did as Top Dog."

Allie has prided herself on being a firm but fair Top Dog, like Bea and Kaz before her. Learning she falsely accused Lou may be all it takes to push her over the edge.

3. Miles has a PTSD attack

During the riot, a group of prisoners tripping on LSD make it into the creche corridor, where Vera's baby daughter Grace is being cared for, with a stolen key card. Officer Miles is first on the scene, but as she confronts the prisoners, she experiences flashbacks to last season's siege, and suffers a small breakdown. Thankfully, Vera arrives in time to rescue Miles and the children.

Vera later expresses concern to Dr. Miller over Miles' mental state. The moment is brief, but important. If any unscrupulous prisoner was to find out about Miles struggles, it could be used against her.

4. 'Kath' wants to forget Joan Ferguson.. but can she?

It seems like Joan Ferguson/Kath Maxwell's amnesia may actually be genuine. She refuses to poison Dr. Miller for Lou, which Joan at her worst would have done without a second thought. She also tries to avoid her sessions with Dr. Miller in fear that she will remember something unpleasant, and declares that :

"Joan Ferguson is dead."

She even attempts to poison herself to keep Joan from resurfacing, until Marie stops her. Unfortunately, Kath's efforts may be for nought. She seems to recognise baby Grace when Dr. Miller takes her by the creche, and becomes obsessed with a goldfish she steals from Miller's fish tank. Fans will remember The Freak owning a pet goldfish in earlier seasons. Kath is also experiencing visions of a strange little girl.

Who is she, and is she linked to Joan in some way?

5. Marie keeps the poison

After stopping 'Kath' from poisoning herself, Marie retreats to her cell, and is soon joined by Reb. With Lou taken away to the Slot, Reb doesn't want to sleep alone. As they settle into bed, Marie, with the poison still in hand, asks Reb how the cultists at True Path died. He replies that they were poisoned, and Marie, unseen by Reb, tucks the poison under her pillow.

It is a chilling sequence that hints of dark times to come. Marie's mental state may not be as stable as we thought.

We're in for a wild ride in the final two episodes.
