Cyril is lying in his pod. He can't sleep and is talking to Ryan about the match, except he doesn't understand it was fatal. He asks Ryan if Khan is going to be okay, and Ryan, in his usual sensitive way, tells Cyril Khan's gonna be okay in about ten minutes and for Cyril to go the hell to sleep. You know, I can't decide if Dean Winters is hot or not. I'd like to figure it out this season. ["Here's a tip: he's hot." -- Sars] Cyril has a dream that Khan visits him wearing a white robe with some glowing gold stuff. Hey, producers, Charles Dickens called. He'd like a bigger coffin to turn over in, and a pillow. Thanks. Khan holds out his hand to Cyril, who takes it, and we go to a boxing ring, where Khan tells Cyril that he killed him as well as Preston (Dr. Gloria's husband), and they will always be in his head and will never leave him,. Cyril wakes up screaming, and Ryan comforts him. Aw. Other than the godawful sound that Scott Winters makes when he cries, it's kinda touching. I think Ryan can hold me. Damn. Do I dig him or not?
Cut to Ryan asking Sister Pete what can be done to ease Cyril's nightmares. He's apparently not been sleeping at all since the match. She tells Ryan the guilt is what is causing the nightmares. Wow, you think? Murder causes loss of sleep. Who knew? Anyway, she says Cyril should express his remorse to the family of Khan, Dr. Gloria, and her husband's parents, and this will ease his guilt somewhat. Ryan agrees and says for her to sign Cyril up. Not so fast, says Sister Pete: Ryan has to go with him, or Sister Pete won't ask Dr. Gloria to participate. Ryan grudgingly agrees.
Then we see Dr. Gloria refusing to be a part of the therapy. Sister Pete tells her it's a chance for closure, for her and for Preston's parents. Dr. Gloria goes into a speech about how people treat her like she's a nurse. I'll spare you the details, since it boiled down to "I'm not taking shit from anyone anymore." I think that's a no.
Sister Pete finds Ryan in the kitchen and tells him that since the therapy won't be happening, they should just increase Cyril's medication. Ryan waits until she leaves, then uses a knife to cut himself in the hand. Egh. Dr. Gloria, of course, sees him in the infirmary (not that we all saw that coming a mile away or anything), and they have meaningless dialogue about how Ryan is glad Khan is dead and how his brother won the fight fair and square. I guess the fact that drugs were involved doesn't affect his thinking at all. I'm curious as to how Ryan thinks this method of harassment will convince her to help Cyril, or perhaps he's just pissed because she wouldn't help so he's simply torturing her -- who knows? Anyone care? No? We all know that Ryan still loves her and feels a bit rejected since Dr. Gloria didn't appreciate the lengths he went to in order to win her heart. I know if some guy murdered my husband, I'd be all his!
