Harris has stolen some pills from the Medical Officer, but manages to dispose of them when MacKay points the finger of suspicion at him.

4. Pardon Me

Blanco's parole hearing is imminent and it looks like he will be successful, but he's not happy. Convicted of killing his wife, he's always denied he committed the crime. Why should he accept the parole board's decision that he's done his time and paid his penance when he's innocent?

5. A Test of Character

Godber's History O-level exams are a few days away, but Fletch can't see the point of studying.

6. Final Stretch

Godber's case is coming up before the parole board, and with his clean record and his O-levels, he's sure to sail through it, unless his feud with Jarvis - all brawn but little brain - escalates. Can he turn the other cheek, or has a man got to do what a man's got to do?
