That night in his cell, Said opens a secret compartment containing a bunch of fruit and pulls out an apple. He says a prayer and then looks out to see McManus staring at him. Said smiles and bites into the apple. Across the way, Poet watches as well.
As Said, Beecher, and McManus run on treadmills behind him, Hill wonders what the deal is with treadmills, anyway. What is he, Seinfeld all of a sudden? "What's the deal with treadmills? You run and run, but you never get anywhere. It's like being a hamster on a wheel in a cage!" Okay, that part's only funny if you read it in a Seinfeld voice.
Claire comes into McManus's office and apologizes for overreacting about McManus comforting Diane. Flashback to Claire and Tim scrapping in his office. Claire apologizes again and says she just wants to be back where they were. Tim says that he's sorry if he gave her the wrong impression, but he's not looking for a relationship, and he didn't know that the sex would mean that much. Claire looks like she's about to go boil some rabbits. She knocks on the window to get Adebisi to stop watching them. She turns around and too brightly says that they can just be friends who fuck. McManus thinks that sex will complicate things, because it always does. Claire insists that that won't happen, but McManus isn't having it. Claire asks if she's no good in bed, and when McManus doesn't answer right away, she loses it. She tells him that he's not that great either, and asks him if he can't commit because he'd rather be "sucking off one of these guys." McManus sighs, and Claire asks if she's hitting a nerve. McManus replies calmly, "No, you're boring me." Claire yells "cocksucker" a couple of times and leaves. She scares the crap out of me, y'all.
Claire goes to check on Bevilacqua in solitary, and finds him ripping apart his pillow. When she enters the cell, he says, "Nice tits." Man, this is so not the day to mess with her. She starts beating the crap out of him with her nightstick.
