Cut to Jack with Ally in the lobby. She's frosty. They discuss with a random assistant what he found out about Ryan. Turns out that Jack once did a piece on gangs when Ryan and Cyril were around sixteen years old, and he interviewed both Ryan and Cyril. Lisa asks irritably if Jack made them look bad; the guy says yes, indeed he did. Jack wants to see the tape.
Switch to Murphy walking Jack through the nightly routine. Five o'clock is lockdown, nine o'clock lights out. Ryan walks into the common room with Omar; Omar sees Jack and starts wigging out. As Omar advances towards Jack, Ryan feebly tried to stop him but fails. Omar walks up the stairs to confront Jack while Ryan panics. Ryan stops at the bottom of the stairs, looking pained. The guards drag Omar away after he yells for a bit and pulls a shank, which he uses on a guard's hand. Murphy calls for lockdown. Ryan covers his face and wonders at the bad luck of it all.
Later, Murphy, Glynn, and McManus meet with Ally and Jack regarding their safety. Now they have to reassign Jack to another inmate. He chooses Cyril. You guys see where this is going? No? Me neither. Oh wait, a telegram just came it's from Toledo. Oh okay. I'll just move on.
Cut to Ryan in McManus's office, protesting the madness of it all. He does not want his brother in a cell with Jack. McManus tells him they don't have a choice in the matter and to "just pray for the best." Ryan says, "You fucking pray, say a whole fucking rosary." He slams out of the office.
