Key Storylines:
Pamela Hudson is serving ten years in prison at the Bendala Detention Centre for embezzlement when she meets Beryl Palmer, who's on remand for the attempted murder of Wayne Hamilton. Pamela is surprised by Beryl's reaction to meeting her: Beryl babbles about how Pamela reminds her of someone she used to know, called Patricia.

Pamela reaches the end of her stretch a few days later and Beryl arranges for her to go and stay at the mansion run by Fiona Thompson. It isn't long before Pamela finds a woman called Alison Carr hanging around. Pamela takes an immediate dislike to her - and is then stunned when Alison reveals that she and Pamela are twin sisters! Alison even takes Pamela up to Albury to see Pamela's mother, who confirms that Patricia and Pamela's parents - who also had a son, Patrick - couldn't have coped bringing up both girls, so tossed a coin to decide which one to adopt out. A shocked Pamela has to listen to the truth - but then decides to pretend outwardly that she's not phased, while planning inwardly to take revenge on Alison for being the twin who ended up living the fine life.

Pamela lets Alison start splashing out money on her, buying her fine clothes and jewellery - but it's a man who brings tensions to a head between the sisters: Nick Benson makes a play for first one and then the other, leading to increasing jealousies and tensions between the two women. Pamela ends up using a 'psychic link' that she discovers exists between her and Alison to push Alison's car off the road when Alison is driving it - with Nick in the passenger seat. A furious Nick decides he wants nothing to do with either sister - but he then relents and tells Pamela that he loves her and wants her to live with him. A delighted Pamela rubs Alison's nose in the situation one final time before leaving Sydney to start her new life properly.
