Lizzie tries desperately to save Maxine from Nola's bashing; Maxie gives cheek to Meg to get sent to the pound, but Meg thinks it's something to do with the insurance scheme and gives her cleaning duties instead.

The Major arrives to see Joan, but there's a gulf between them. He comes to visit the prison, and takes a shine to Lizzie.
