In their pod, Ryan tells Kirk that Adebisi will be taking his mop duty the next day. Kirk doesn't want to hear that, as apparently Shirley's as reliable as Old Faithful in displaying her nether regions. Ryan says he'll have to deal, and hands him a magazine with some girl-on-girl porn, and I don't really need the image of Little Timmy coming out to play, so this is another scene I'm glad they cut short.

A hack brings Shirley her lunch. She takes the top off the tray to discover a cupcake with a lit candle in it. She's touched. Adebisi whistles "Happy Birthday," and Shirley turns around. She looks puzzled. He goes up to the bars and gets it out. Shirley backs away: "But you're a nigger!" I'm sorry to say that, unlike most developments with this character, I saw this one coming from a mile away. Adebisi's face hardens, and he orders her to get with the f-e-l-l-a-t-i-o, but the hacks appear and drag him off. Shirley watches appraisingly, perhaps reconsidering her bigotry in the face of Adebisi's, er, impressiveness. She blows out the candle. I hope she didn't wish for Schillinger.
