(Miguel rubbing shit all over himself) Sister: Look at that. He’s not getting enough fiber.

Sister: Should you really be giving a person with brain damage an aging pill? Wouldn’t it cause increased cognitive degeneration?

Sister: She’s so bizarre.
Me: How so?
Sister: First she was bending the rules to get them in, and now she wants to follow the rules—(gasp) no wait, she’s conniving, isn’t she? She’s trying to get rid of them.

Sister: Done in by that pubic lice...

Sister: Gross! She’s gonna give him like a face mask to wear. It’s gonna have a O’Reily’s face on it.

Sister: Aren’t they going to stop the trials now that someone’s dead?
Me: They did stop it. His hair is just white.
Sister: Well they’re probably gonna kill [Cyril] then, because they don’t have the budget to keep that powered wig. Look at that. That’s the face of a dying man.

Sister: I can’t tell if this guy is stupid or if he’s just testing him.

Me: He was one of Madonna’s backup dancers.
Sister: Didn’t you already say that about someone?
Me: No… That was Martinez… One of Madonna’s baby daddies.
Sister: Oh right. Madonna has her fingerprints all over this show, huh?

Sister: He’s like ‘how did you find out?’

Sister: So is pride.

Sister (as CO): Your son is dead.

Sister: Does he seem like he took his children to the dentist?

Sister: What’s up with this dude? He been working out his muscles and now he just wants to go to war to put them to use?

Sister: Is this it for the romance? Aren’t there like 7 seasons? Ugh, it’s all going downhill. Well, you could still get transferred back to a state prison from federal prison probably.

Final Thoughts

• Sister: At least the Asians are gone—except for one. That was weird.

Stray Thoughts

• Said’s hypertension gets a mention
• Sister says Omar reminds her of an awkward bird
• It’s mentioned that the Chinese refugees crashed off Jeb Island Sound, which may be a fictional version of Block Island Sound, NY
• Penis count: 1 (2 but the 2nd one was kinda hard to see)
• No Chico this episode (again) :(
• Father McConkey was Mukada’s replacement
• Sister saw the preview for the next episode and based on Schillinger’s expression, thinks Carrie’s baby is going to be black
• Sister thinks Cyril will die of age pill related complications
• Not a single character correctly pronounced "Jia Kenmin"
