Ep 6. Captive

In Wentworth season 1 episode 6, titled "Captive," the focus shifts to Liz Birdsworth, a tertiary character who has until now been largely overlooked. When an old acquaintance named Donny turns up out of the blue, Liz is hesitant to get too involved. It becomes clear that Donny is involved in some dubious criminal activity, and Liz is torn between loyalty to an old friend and the need to keep her nose out of trouble.

However, things take a turn for the worse when Donny is arrested and thrown into Wentworth prison. Liz is horrified to be reunited with him - especially when it's revealed that he's been charged with murder. As the investigation into Donny's involvement in the crime continues, it becomes clear that Liz is the only person who might be able to provide an alibi for him - but at what cost?

Meanwhile, in the prison, tensions are running high. Bea is tasked with keeping the peace among the inmates, especially when an old rival of hers gets transferred to Wentworth. Franky, always the rebel, is causing trouble as usual, and Jacs is up to her usual scheming. As always, the machinations of the prisoners are constantly in motion, and it's not always clear who's on whose side.

As the episode progresses, the tension builds to a fever pitch. Liz, torn between loyalty to Donny and loyalty to her own safety, is forced to make a difficult choice. Meanwhile, the inmates themselves are on edge, constantly watching each other's every move. When violence erupts in the prison, it becomes clear that no one is safe - no matter who they are or how well they think they've prepared.

Ultimately, "Captive" is an intense and dramatic episode of Wentworth, one that serves as a reminder of just how brutal life can be both in and out of prison. As always, the performances are stellar, with the actors bringing their A-games to every scene. Fans of the series won't want to miss this powerful episode - and newcomers are sure to be drawn in by its gripping storytelling and compelling character development.
