Season two begins three months after Bea killed Jacs Holt. While Bea has been languishing in the slot, Franky has risen to top dog unopposed. But the sudden arrival of new governor Joan Ferguson is about to change all that.
Ferguson’s mandate is to clean up Wentworth and restore order at any cost to the inmates and her staff. Franky’s reign is under threat immediately when Ferguson tries to elevate Bea’s position.
But I don’t think that it’s just the prison yard where women {and frankly men too} fight to be ‘top dog’. It happens throughout our school years and even though people say that it’s some thing that people grow out of, I definitely think that there are still adults playing mind games with one another to reign supreme.
And I’m not just talking about relationship mind games that women and men play in that crazy little game called love. I’m talking about that awful ‘I really want to hurt you – either mentally or physically – kind of way’.
It seems these people want to make you submissive to them and if they can’t well that just drives them CRAZY.
I think I can relate to Bea {out of Wentworth}…I’m no attempted murderer, but I relate to her ‘keeping the peace’ and ‘flying under the radar’ until her daughter is involved. I feel that I am strong enough to take the crap that might be dished out {even though my husband thinks that I need thicker skin, he doesn’t know how strong I really am}.
But when you try and use or abuse my children – mentally or physically – well, I just won’t stand for that!
What happened in these people’s lives that has caused them to think that they are better then everyone else {or where they continually told that they weren’t good enough so see fit to push everyone else down like they were}?
What happened in these people’s lives that has caused them not to feel love and give love freely {the world is full of all kinds of people – and the fact is that you aren’t going to get along with everyone – but if you have love in your heart you can at least be kind}?
