Pete tells Giles that Beebe killed her husband, and he confirms it. She asks -- strangely unemotionally, given how she acted the last two episodes -- if he can tell her about it. Giles manages to convey that Beebe saw that Giles witnessed the murder. Pete asks if he knows why Beebe killed her husband, but he doesn't. She presses him, but he breaks down crying, and she holds him. Aw. Later, in Glynn's office, Pete has asked him to let Giles out of solitary. He refuses, on the grounds that Giles is still prone to violence. Pete says she'd like to do something special for him. Cut to a hack bringing a box into Giles's cell, saying it's from Pete. From the music playing, you'd think it was full of grenades without the pins, but it's full of toothbrushes and toothpaste. Looks like Pete came in third on Jeopardy or something. Giles is thrilled. She even threw in mouthwash! Nothing says "I care" like Scope. Or maybe it's just that that hug reminded her of the heartbreak of halitosis.
Infirmary. Shirtless Ryan. Nice. Ryan says hello to a kvetchy but amiable doctor. Ryan's hair has grown back to crew length, and he doesn't look like a refugee any more. Now I'll take that full disclosure! He plies the doc for some medicinal marijuana. Doc: "Nice try, kid." The doctor says that this will probably be Ryan's final chemo treatment. Ryan's happy to hear that; then, having held out for all of twenty seconds, he asks how Gloria is. We flash to a man that's ostensibly her husband getting into a car. Cyril pops up in the back seat and wraps a garrote around his neck. As Gloria's husband chokes, Cyril averts his eyes from the rear-view mirror, which is a nice touch. The guy's arm breaks the driver's side window in his death throes. Back in the present, the doc tells Ryan that the funeral is Thursday (no indication of what day it is presently) but that Gloria might be back at work tomorrow. Ryan brazenly tells the doc to give her his best, and the doc warily says he will, as behind him, Ryan's wife Shannon appears. She comes over and starts nuzzling him, but he pushes her off, smiling coldly that she hasn't been to see him lately. She says she's been taking care of Cyril. Ryan says he called his cousin, and he's going to take Cyril. Not for long, Mickey. His next words are the equivalent in length and intent to Homer Simpson's famous quote: "Dear Baby. Welcome to Dumpville. Population, you." Ta ta, Shannon.
