Awesome / Wentworth

Go To

  • Everything about Bea Smith. From challenging Jacs's authority during her first day in prison, to outright killing her to avenge her daughter, then spending the whole second season being the ultimate chessmaster until she gave Franky a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown right before slitting her own wrists just so she could go to (and escape) hospital, track down Brayden Holt and kill him dead. Then on her way back to Wentworth, she calls Joan a freak and willingly takes the role of Top Dog. Badass indeed!
  • Boomer and co rushing to the rescue and saving Franky from being gang-raped by Jacs's gang.
    • In a similar vein, Maxine saving Bea's life during an assassination attempt in the shower.
  • Franky saving Sophie from a gang rape with nothing more than a broom handle.
  • The moment Vera finally becomes Vinegar Tits.
    Miss Miles: You okay, Vera?
  • Bea and Franky rushing into the prison fire to save Joshua, and Bea returning to carry Franky out to save her.
  • When Bea is slotted, Maxine is Top Dog in her place. When newbie Tasha presses the panic button, breaking the most important rule, Lucy (who was trying to gang-rape her at the time,) bays for her to be punished. Instead of putting her hand in the steam press, Maxine chooses to let her off with a warning. Any concern of backlash from prisoners is removed when several of the other groups give Maxine their dessert as an offering of thanks for sparing her.
  • Bea's Thanatos Gambit with Ferguson at the end of season four. A clumsy attack intended to get her disarmed, and then literally throwing herself onto her own shiv to implicate Joan.
  • When Joan gets sent back to Wentworth for the murder of Bea, several inmates all try to attack her in the prison yard in quick succession. Joan fights them all off suffering little more than a bloody lip and then asks, "Who's next?"
  • Will rescuing Kaz from the sinking transport van.
  • After trying unsuccessfully to kill Ferguson in the premiere and her hotshot plans falling through, Allie bides her time and finally gets her revenge for Bea in the season five finale by arranging for Ferguson to be Buried Alive and suffer a slow, lonely death, with a sketch of Bea the only thing to look at.
  • After discovering everything that Sonia had been up to (Killing Gilmoure and Torturing Liz) Kaz threatens Sonia with a deadly line 'You could be out in two days, or dead in one' and then kills her by pushing her off the roof to protect Liz
