Franky: "Got a lover in there, aye red?"
Bea: "It was a friendly hug."
Franky: "That's what they all say." Her and Alex laugh.
Alex: "I mean, it's true."
Bea: "Whatever. Uh- Maxie, come with me."
Maxine: "Ok."

She smiles and joins Bea for a walk.
Maxine: "Is everything ok?"
Bea: "I heard something, and it doesn't sound good."
Maxine: "What did you hear?"
Bea: "Franky. She and Alex seem to be planning something which would mean Alex stays here. And- I- I think they really like each other."
Maxine: "Fuck, what do you reckon they could be planning? This is Franky, she doesn't fall for people."
Bea: "I don't know, could be anything at this point. Yeah usually I'd agree with you there but Franky said 'for the right girl i can be anything' she seems real."
Maxine: "It could be anything you're right. I suppose if she likes Alex then this is a turning point for her."
Bea: "Oh, don't mention it around anyone, Alex did say not to be open about it yet cos of blondie."
Maxine: "Wow you really did hear a whole conversation. But what do you suppose we do about their plan?"
Bea: "I think, we need to have all eyes on both of them, see if we can find out anything they are planning. Report back to me if you find anything useful yeah?"
Maxine: "Got it Bea." She smiles and walks off into the rec room.

Over the course of a few days both Bea and Maxine keep an extra careful eye on Franky, trying to figure out what she could be planning. With neither Franky or Alex dropping any clues, it proved almost impossible. That was until Liz dropped a bombshell.

Liz: "Bea, can I have a word?"
Bea: "Sure, what's up?"
Liz: "Privately?" She points to her room.
Bea: "Ok..." Bea walks in confused. "You alright Liz?"
Liz: "I don't want to be a lagger, but Franky.. She's- Well, she's getting Alex to be her drug mule."
Bea: "I'll deal with Franky, do you have proof?"
Liz: "What about Alex? We need to look out for these women, they won't be with us forever."
Bea: "Exactly they won't be with us forever, do you have proof or not?"
Liz: "C'mon Bea."
Bea: "Fine fine. I'll deal with them both. Now, where is the proof?"
Liz: "Here, I found this fall out of Franky's book when she threw it on the table this morning." Liz hands Bea a small bag of powder.
Bea: "Is the book still there?" She peers through the door. "Yes! Right, I've got this now, thanks Liz."

Bea grabs the book on the table,
Franky: "The fuck that's my book!" Franky comes running into H2 and snatches the book out of Bea's hands.
Bea: "Is this yours too?" She holds up the bags.
Alex: "Why would that be Franky's?"
Bea: "Answer the question!"
Franky: "No! Where did you find that?"
Bea: "It fell out of your book." She grabs Franky's throat and shoves her up into a wall. Alex tries to defend Franky by grabbing Bea but is shoved away by her other hand. A crowd gathers, everyone from H2, yelling and shouting.
Alex: "Get off her!"
Morello: "What the hell?"
Doreen: "Bea! Stop!"
Bea: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" The room falls silent. "Franky, remember what happened to Tina yeah? And Cindy Lou? Now you're bringing in drugs!"
Franky: "It's not mine." She stays calm and collected, despite being held by the throat.
Bea: "Then who the fuck gave them to you?"
Franky: "I- I don't know, get the fuck off me now." She tries to fight back, but can't escape Bea's grip.
Bea: "I think you do know. Otherwise I'll assume they are yours!"
Franky: "Ok ok. It belongs to her." She points to Alex.

Alex: "Wait what? The fuck babe!"
Piper: "Babe?!"
Franky: "I have to tell the truth."
Alex: "It's not mine! You gave them to me to hide! You said it would get me a place in wentworth!"
Boomer: "Why do you wanna be here?"
Alex: "Because.. Franky and I are in love." She cowers in a pity of shame. Humiliated.
Piper: "YOU WHAT?"
Bea: "PIPE DOWN BLONDIE!"
Franky: "Did you really think..." She laughs.
Alex: "W-what... You used me?"
Franky: "How else would I get the drugs?"
Alex: "But you-"
Franky: "I made you believe? Yeah that was the plan. I needed a supply, and I knew you would get it."
Liz: "It wouldn't be the first time this has happened."
Doreen: "You can't just use people like that Franky."
Resnikoff: "You hurt one of my girls, I hope you know what's coming for you."
Franky: "Oh yeah? What then?" Bea lets go of Franky.
Big Boo: "We've got power."
Bea: "I'd sure like to see that, because we're a force not to be reckoned with."
Liz: "Oh no...."
