  • Shirley gets her execution paused and commuted to life imprisonment after Sister Pete realises she is insane
  • Beecher, Keller, etc, get out of the hospital/solitary after their scuffle
  • Diane and Claire get into a physical fight; Glynn and McManus verbally fight
  • (mini) Junior and Poet get out of the hospital; Kenny tells them they’re back with Adebisi, who has a plan
  • Ryan and Hamid go to Glynn to get the boxing match uncancelled; Stanislofsky hints to Murphy about O’Reily spiking the water bottles; Murphy doesn’t tell anyone but doesn’t let Ryan keep poisoning the waters; Ryan gets Seamus to come visit to rile Cyril up instead; Cyril gives Hamid brain damage in the boxing match; Khan’s wife wants him taken off life support
  • Said and Tobias observe the rising racial tensions between white and black…Adebisi radicalises Hughes; Hughes whips it out in front of Lopresti and Howell for some reason after hearing them being racist in the locker room; Schillinger does a speech to various white prisoners; a COs vs prisoners aspect is added the mix, increasing tensions
  • Glynn fires Hughes
  • New year’s scenes throughout the prison; Toby and Chris kiss; Adebisi gets a gun from Hughes
Sister: [EXTREMELY LOUD GASP] …Isn’t that the lamp we have back home?? (There’s a lamp at our parent’s house that does indeed look like that lamp lolol. Guess it must've been a popular 90s design. I’d never noticed before.)
Sister: Your guy gave up pretty quickly. Me: Yeah, he was not with the program whatsoever. He was holding that knife like a pen.
Sister: Oh look, she visited… I guess the rest of the family members were like ”whatever”.
Sister: Ugh, this guy’s still alive?
Sister: He looks like he’s supposed to be a conman at a beachside casino resort.
Sister: the racist kind...
Sister: …And there will be nooo direct consequences…
I always wonder what the Latinos were doing during all this LOL. They’re conveniently just nowhere to be seen whenever the show decides to do a black/white race thing. Are they on the second tier? All at work? In the showers??
Sister: Hahaha finally… That’s what you get for showing your dong to everyone…

 

Sister: I don’t like that. Me: (thinking hard) …His underwear? Sister: Yeah. I don't like that. Looks like a thong.
Sister: (as Khan) (wheezing) Happy… new year…

Stray thoughts

  • When Carlo and Chico go to kill Miguel, you can sort of see through his shirt that Carlo has magazines stuffed against his abdomen as armor. Fat lot of good that did him, though.
  • Miguel 1999 🏆Most Distracting Nipple Award
  • Sister did not want Cyril to win the boxing match since way before it even happened
  • Sister was convinced that there was going to be another riot
  • Why was Hughes still there way after hours after he got fired lol
  • Sister thinks Augustus had the skin mag out after they were banned to go to the Hole on purpose
  • My plotpoint bullet points are becoming soooo long at this point. I long for the days when everything could be summed up more simply lol... Or maybe I've just gotten more detailed about it??

Final Thoughts

  • Sister thought there should’ve been more Auld Lang Syne type catharsis. She was not a fan of the low key cliff hanger lol
  • Thought more people should've kissed but failed to come up with who might possibly
  • The McManus/Glynn fight always feels like it sort of came out of nowhere to me. I’m on Glynn’s side because WTF is McManus even talking about thb? When does Glynn even really get seen having to deal with the white prisoners' bullshit outside of Schillinger and Peter Schibetta? (Also, when McManus uses Hill as an example of Glynn taking the side of a black inmate, I can't for the life of me figure out what that is referring to). I understand that the race divide/tension is a thing among the prisoners due to the boxing match, but some of the lines that the show tries to draw and connect throughout this episode don’t make that much sense. I know that the muddling of issues is sort of the point when the aspect of COs vs prisoners gets thrown into the mix, but McManus yelling at Glynn about the racial aspect just seems weird. I guess it makes more sense/gives more causation to next season when Glynn hires Querns to take McManus’s place, but honestly I feel like McManus being how he is at that point is cause enough.
