Sister: Embarrassing…

Sister: You know, I don’t think Miguel’s going to get out because you seem to ship them too much, which makes me think he must stick around to the very end.
Me: (snickering)

Sister: His name is “Wolfgang” and they’re not even going to let him into the Brotherhood?

Sister: I need to know what the direction for this scene was.

Sister: Aw… No homo…

Sister: Yeah, ‘cause you’re still here... Ooh, a haunting episode! just in time for Halloween!

Sister: Not the visible threat in front of the guards….

Sister: He’s going to die.

Stray Thoughts

• Glynn references events from 4x12 as being “six months ago”
• McManus mentions that his divorce from Eleanor was 5 years ago
• Miguel’s cellmate at this point is Samuel Gougeon
• The 6x01 preview at the end of the episode totally spoiled Beecher’s dad’s death… Straight up shows him getting stabbed and everything
