Lucy Gambaro is a prisoner at Wentworth detention centre for Rape and assault, shes was a big part of Bea's riot in episode 1 of season 3 "The Governor's Pleasure" when she and the help of a few other prisoners held Deputy Governor Vera hostage with a needle filled with blood infected with HEP C and help Bea out of the slot, Franky also seeks her help later to keep the other prisoners away from her, but when lucy attempts to rape Sophie in the the showers Franky comes in and saves her, in a later episode Lucy threatens Doreen in the showers that she will give her and her baby HEP C and ends up getting Doreen hurt, Bea and Maxine bash her putting her in a wheelchair, in episode 11 season 3 Vera threatens to push Lucy down the stairs if she doesn't answer questions then accidentally loses her footing and accidentally lets go of Lucy's wheelchair so she falls down the stairs. When asked Lucy lies and blames Ferguson.
During season 4, Juice and The Boys are unimpressed at Bea's lack of action regarding Ferguson. As Bea is telling Maxine of her plans to get Joan in the showers when she'll be unsupervised, Stella overhears and informs Lucy and her gang, leading to them raping Joan in a savage attack before Bea gets to her. This however led to Joan gaining the protection of Kaz Proctor and the Red Right Hand as they now see her as a victim. Gambaro also later attempts to rape Tasha, a new inmate which results in Tasha pushing the panic button in the showers. This, in turn, broadens the gap between Bea and Kaz who argue over the ethics of the panic button rule.
Lucy attempts to rape the prisoner Iman Farrah at Ferguson's suggestion, but Franky and Boomer save her.
Lucy develops tooth decay, and makes an appointment with the dentist. A nurse who has had sexual relations with the guard Jake is blackmailed by Ferguson into leaving Lucy (Juice) alone with Ferguson. Ferguson cuts Lucy's tongue out for reasons that are not clear, other than an earlier comment by Ferguson about one way to rule people is to terrify them. It is also probably in revenge for Juice and The Boys' gang rape of Joan in the previous season. And indeed Joan immediately becomes top dog after cutting out Lucy's tongue. Lucy is raced to hospital at the end of episode 6 "Happy Birthday Vera" Vera receives a present in her office that she assumes is from Jake, but when she lifts the lid it is Lucy's tongue in the gift wrapped box.
After Lucy leaves for hospital there is no more mention of what happens to her in the final episodes of Season Five.
