Synopsis: | ||
A recovered Said ostracizes Huseni Mershah for turning his back on him when he was dying--and orders all the Muslims to cast him out. Huseni Mershah is transferred to GenPop, where he ends up killing himself. Impressed by Said's power, Groves decides to kill Glynn in his honor, but ends up stabbing and killing an officer by mistake. Condemned to death, Groves chooses his form of execution: the firing squad. Meanwhile, Schibetta is still being fed ground glass by O'Reily and Adebisi, and ends up hemorrhaging; Bitter and jealous Vahue breaks Dobbins' cello; Beecher, transformed by prison life, finally gets revenge on his nemesis, Schillinger. | ||
