Wentworth Prison, now known as Wentworth Correctional Centre, enters a new era following a devastating fire. The facility is rebuilt and under new management, with a focus on rehabilitation and a more modern, less brutal approach. This new philosophy is embodied by the hesitant yet determined Governor Ann Reynolds, who aims to move away from the violent legacy of the past.
The season’s central narrative follows the final act of Joan “The Freak” Ferguson’s story. Having survived her burial alive, she is now a prisoner in the very institution she once ruled. Suffering from severe amnesia, she is remanded under the identity of “Kathleen Joyce,” a meek and confused woman. Her presence inside the walls is a secret to the general population, known only to a few staff and to Sheila Bausch, a new inmate who is secretly Joan’s obsessive lover. Sheila is desperately trying to reconnect with the Joan she remembers.
Vera Bennett, now a mother, continues as Deputy Governor, navigating the challenges of the new regime while dealing with the trauma of her past with Ferguson. The inmate dynamic has shifted significantly. Lou Kelly has risen to a position of formidable power, running the prison’s drug trade with an iron fist. Her volatile relationship with her younger girlfriend, Reb, becomes a driving force for much of the violence and conflict within the walls. Reb, a transgender man, desperately wants access to top surgery, leading Lou to engage in extreme and ruthless schemes to secure the money.
Marie Winter continues her path of quiet redemption, seeking atonement for her past crimes while forming a genuine friendship with Allie Novak. Allie, still grieving the loss of her great love, Bea Smith, struggles to find her place and purpose. Judy Bryant, a sophisticated new inmate convicted of white-collar crimes, slowly reveals herself to be a manipulative and dangerous psychopath, weaving her own web of deceit.
The season builds as secrets begin to unravel. The truth of “Kathleen Joyce’s” identity inevitably seeps out, sending shockwaves through the prison. Lou Kelly’s escalating actions in her quest to help Reb lead to catastrophic consequences, resulting in a major hostage situation that puts everyone in extreme peril. This crisis forces alliances and confrontsations, pulling all the key players into a tense and deadly standoff.
In the end, the series reaches its conclusion with a mix of tragedy and resolution. The storm of violence culminates in significant losses, but also in moments of hard-won peace and justice for some. Joan Ferguson’s long and terrifying saga finally closes in a manner that ties directly to her own brutal history and the women she tormented. The final episodes focus on closure, showing where the surviving characters land, emphasizing themes of survival, legacy, and the possibility of moving forward from the dark shadows of Wentworth Prison.
