Dennis becomes more unhinged, slashing Meg's clothes and talking to her as if she's his mother. The police try to contact her by phone and when she doesn't answer send a patrol car round. Meg takes advantage of Dennis's delusion and persuades him to drop the knife: the police turn up on cue to arrest him but then have the impertinence to ask Meg if she "encouraged" Dennis in any way. Meg asks Marty to stay over as she's feeling a bit "shaky". Meg returns to normal remarkably quickly after her ordeal and Colleen drops in to see how she is. Meg explains that the police think the first caller may have given Dennis the idea. Maxine tells Pixie the love letter could be from Dan the delivery man. Pixie flirts with Danny but when it becomes obvious he doesn't even know her name it becomes obvious to Pixie that he couldn't have written the letter. Wally is the next to be identified as the writer of Pixie's letter. At Wally's life drawing class where she is the only pupil, Pixie and Wally talk at cross purposes until he has to admit he didn't write the letter. Pixie now believes it was Dr Weissmann who wrote the letter and adds a few supposedly seductive frills to her uniform, but is disappointed yet again when he interviews her in the Governor's office. The women finally tell Pixie the truth about who wrote the love letter. Bea suggests to Petra that she could help by teaching the women in Wentworth. Petra's trial is postponed to get her legal representation, even though she wants to plead guilty and not offer any evidence. Maxie and Pixie are among the first to agree to attend Petra's classes. Sharon is taken to the attic at Driscoll House. Alpha Centauri gives a sermon to his followers ("Blend with the Force, my children") breaking off to phone Helen at the halfway house to threaten her over Sharon's disappearance. Helen makes a counter-threat to expose his fraud and his real identity and the cult leader tells her she can keep Helen. The de-progammers discuss the best tactics to help Sharon. Helen explains the noise coming from the attic to the other halfway house residents as a friend who is trying to come off drugs. Colin and Peter do the bad cop / good cop routine on Sharon. Wally has to invite Ann to dinner to stop her when she announces she intends to visit Driscoll House. Scott visits Driscoll House and hears the shrieking from the attic: he is given the standard excuse about a resident going "cold turkey". Judy comforts Helen when she starts to find Sharon's deprogramming distressing. Mrs Collins next door phones the police to complain about the noise at Driscoll, and the de-programming ends in disaster when Sharon first attacks Helen when she tries to intervene and then accidentally stabs Colin Burton with the cheese knife he was waving around earlier.
