Episode Details
Clara asks Steve for legal advice over her arrest and apologises to Jean about the half way house project. Clara tells Steve that the external auditors have been called in over the books concerning her private company. She tells him that she has been fiddling the books because she needed the money to donate to charity.

Vera arrives to check on Bea’s progress and tells her that she is to be transferred back to Wentworth in a couple of days. Vera asks to have a word with the policewoman and they leave the room. Bea opens and reads Mum’s note.
Jean is in her office, telling Meg about what happened with Clara. She tells Meg that she will have to tell Karen that she won’t be running the halfway house, as there isn’t going to be one. Meg is not amused that Jean has built up Karen’s hopes.

Clara walks into Steve’s office. She tells him that she has been found out by the auditors. Steve asks her what happened and she tells him that she made out cheques for goods to companies that didn’t exist for goods that didn’t exist. He tells her that if they talk to the directors they won’t take the matter any further if she offers to reimburse them. Clara tells them that it isn’t that easy as the few thousand pounds discrepancy discovered by the auditors is $75,000. Steve tells her that it won’t be impossible for her to arrange to give them their money back. Clara tells him that it is, as they will soon discover that she took $254,780!
