Eli is in with Jordan, and Jordan has apparently gotten some more art for his walls, about which Eli doesn't pretend to have the slightest clue. Jordan congratulates Eli on the Tipton Bay settlement, and Eli in turn thanks him for his support in the face of the opposition from Marci. Jordan smiles that whatever tension there is between him and Marci isn't anything for him to worry about, but he has to eat those words when the woman herself comes in and acidly expresses her hope that the new painting wasn't paid for with company money. She then turns to Eli and, without much pretense of civility, congratulates him on his moral victory. "It's almost worth the two computer companies and three department-store chains we lost due to our new 'We Heart Criminals' reputation." Well, to be fair, you've hearted criminals for a long time. It's just the "Who Get Caught" part that's new. However, Marci tells him that the damage will be contained by the fact that Mosley won't be leaving Tipton Bay, as while the board granted his parole, the Governor denied it. She lets that hang in the air while keeping eye contact with Eli, and Eli finally asks if she did that. Marci takes a moment and then breezes, "Only in that I voted for him." So did her checkbook, I'm guessing. She starts to leave as she continues that if he'd like to discuss the matter with her further, she'll be in her new offices on the twentieth floor. She turns back with a smile: "I'll be here for the duration." Eli looks like he might cry.
Back at the prison, Keith is apologizing to Mosley, but Mosley tells him there's no need. Keith wonders how he can go on after this devastating development, but Mosley tells him that's what living brave is about, and he's got another shot at parole next year. He then smiles as he tells Keith he came through, and Keith responds by giving Mosley a copy of Black's Law Dictionary, saying that it'll help in his quest for parole, and he can come down once or twice a month and help teach him. Aw, good Keith episode here, not to mention the fact that it's great to see him be part of Eli's journey for the first time. Mosley is ready to dive right in, so Keith starts explaining about habeus corpus as we pull back...
...and then it turns out that the chimps have been released from the zoo, and Taylor, Matt, and Sassy Patti are visiting them in their new home, called "Chimp Paradise." I'm pretty sure, given the events that led us here, that they should change the name to "Chimp Xanadu." Sassy Patti accompanies Layla and her awful new hairdo into the actual habitat, leaving Matt to tell Taylor that she acts like she has no affinity for chimps. "But deep down, you kinda like us!" I kind of love him for making the joke himself. Taylor asks Matt if he knows some French restaurant in the Napa Valley, and Matt does: "Six-month waiting list. Have to know Bill Gates to get in." Taylor says that's the one, and if Matt can get them a reservation for the next Saturday, she'll have dinner with him. I don't think the name Taylor mentioned exists, but I'm betting the description is based on the real restaurant French Laundry. And if that's the case: I wish you luck.
