Audrey’s personality feels darker and more bitter here, but that feels exactly right for someone who suffered what she did in the latter part of Widows II. Audrey also has the jewels in her possession. I didn't quite make out the name Dolly put on the envelopes at the end of Widows II, so now I've caught up. I think. While I wasn’t too shaken by his apparent recasting, I was a little confused that Audrey’s son is a police officer since he was involved in the heist and shooting and was last seen accompanied by officers. And it clearly wasn’t the son she was expecting at the end of Widows II, since we’re told Dolly’s been inside for eight years (eight?! The text at the end of Widows II informed us her sentence was five years. Since she was said to be a model prisoner, she would probably have got an early release if anything. Unless there’s clarity still to come it seems there’s either poor continuity or some revisionism going on here). Anyway, looking at IMDb, it seems this son of Audrey’s is called “Mike”, while the previous son was Greg. So it appears he’s a different, previously unseen son. Now I’m wondering if he was mentioned at all in Widows. Incidentally, there’s no sign of the seven-to-eight year old that Audrey was expecting. Back at Holloway, after a rousing cups-on-the-railings orchestra exit from her cell and lots of other prison thanking her for giving them her support or perfume or whatever, Bea Smith Dolly is taken to the office of Erica Davidson Governor Ennis, who reels off a huge list of Dolly’s achievements as a model prisoner who has thrown herself into every aspect of prison life. The Governor offers any help Dolly may need, and Dolly, who has listened in quiet stillness speaks gently, almost meekly:Assured it won’t, Dolly turns her head to Prison Officer Joan Ferguson Barbara Hunter, standing guard at the wall and listening intently:And with that turn, Dolly’s not only well and truly back, She’s Out. Incidentally, for those inclined towards drinking games and suchlike, I’d suggest a sip anytime someone utters the series’ title in this first episode. Incidentally, there’s an accidentally topical-in-August-2022 comment when Julia gives background on her companion:</blockquote>
