Franky and Allie's great escape
The "Wentworth" Season 5 finale showed the continuation of Allie and Franky's prison break plan using the shipping crates for the green wall project. It was almost shelved, no thanks to Liz (Celia Ireland), who asked Franky for protection from Sonia (Sigrid Thornton). Thankfully, Allie handled it well by confronting Liz and telling her to downplay her concerns about Sonia.
Eventually, Franky got out from her crate. However, she noticed that Allie's crate wasn't there. She only found a note from her that said she still needed to do something to avenge Bea's (Danielle Cormack)) death while Franky needed to prove her innocence.
Allie switches places with Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson
Allie made a deal with Jake so that "The Freak" will be put in the crate instead of her. Unfortunately, it wasn't to help Joan escape but to make Jake and Will's plan successful, which was to get rid of her by burying her alive. Will ended up burying "The Freak" while she was still in the crate.
Liz poisons Sonia
Forced to take care of herself, Liz had no choice but to take matters into her own hands to ensure her safety. She gave Boomer (Katrina Milosevic) a cup of tea to give to Sonia, who started to choke and eventually collapsed on the dining room floor.
Vera toughens up once more
Vera (Kate Atkinson) showed everyone that she can bounce back from her fall from grace in the last episode. She told Jake that he was the biggest mistake she ever made. She also turned down Ferguson's earlier request to avoid her return to the general population area. "Hell Bent" was directed by Kevin Carlin and written by Pete McTighe.
