Showers. Mershah, who's got quite the body, bitches to Arif about Said, and suggests that he might be more valuable to their cause as a "symbol" rather than a leader. Arif asks what that means, but Mershah ha-has again that he was just kidding. That Arif, always one step ahead. One step ahead of a three-legged tortoise, that is.
Mershah, who's apparently podmates with Said, is doing calisthenics when the lights come on. We pan up to see Said, who looks like he ate about seventeen bowls of five-alarm chili the night before. He gives a strangled cry, and Mershah asks if he's having a heart attack. Said doesn't quite manage to gasp, "Yes, you buffoon," but it's implied. Mershah faux-reverently tells him it's the will of Allah. He leaves, and Said falls out of the bed -- whether more from pain or annoyance, I don't know. Nice plan, Mershah, except isn't count going to happen immediately? Whatever. Hill VOs about how the body and mind have to work together, as we get a montage of Adebisi snorting, Rebadow sleeping in the hospital, Ryan and Beecher soaring together (hopefully over one of the Greek isles), Hill wasted, and Said getting wheeled into the hospital. Hill tells us we have to take care of our bodies, because they're all we have. "I'll make a deal with you. I'll love your body if you love mine." Sounds great, Ryan.
