Here comes Ryan with Sister Pete, who confronts him about hurting his hand on purpose and warns him that if he is going in there to profess his love for Gloria then she will pull him right out. Sister Pete introduces the brothers to Lars and Patricia Nathan. Patricia shrieks and quails when Cyril attempts to shake her hand. Lars says with a catch in his voice, "When a child dies of a disease, in war or gets hit by a bus, somehow you can convince yourself his death makes sense." Lars begins to lose his composure and becomes more upset. "But this...this was so premeditated. So cold-blooded." Cyril begins to wail, and I'll spare you the details, because if I have to rewind it and watch Scott Winters butchering this scene again, I may develop a twitch. He howls that he did it from behind so he couldn't see Preston's eyes, that if he saw Preston's eyes, he couldn't have killed him, and he sobs. God! Shut up, Scott! ["Really, he's verging into The Other Sister territory here." -- Sars] Patricia sadly talks of the children that Gloria and her son were almost ready to have. Ryan gets all pissy and says that she can't blame Cyril for not having grandchildren, because the marriage between Gloria and her husband was over anyway. Then Ryan tells Preston's parents about the affair Gloria had with McManus. All emotional hell breaks loose. Gloria snarls, "This is what you wanted, isn't it?" Ryan yells that he loves Gloria and he always will. As Preston's parents look on, nonplused, Gloria tells him that everything he's ever done in his life, he's done for himself. She walks out of the room. Cyril gets up and leaves too. Ryan follows.
We see Ryan on the cell phone saying that "it has to be done tonight." He hangs up, and when he's back in his pod, he looks at a newspaper clipping of Dr. Gloria. Cut to the next day, as Ryan approaches a table where Hill and Beecher sit. They ask if he heard the news. Too casually: "What news?" Beecher tells him that Gloria was raped last night. Oooooh. Ryan is a bastard. Ryan's response to this news is an indifferent expression. We next see him in group with Sister Pete. Ryan says, "It sucks what happened to Gloria." When Sister agrees, Beecher breaks in with, "Have you heard anymore about Chris?" Jeez, Beecher, grow some backbone, will ya? Poet, while drawing on a pad, says rumor is that Keller will be back today. Then he recites a bad poem. Again, I shall spare you. We now see Keller lying in his hospital bed with a big bandage on his right shoulder. Father Mukada approaches Keller. Keller, with a serene and weird-ass look on his face, asks Mukada about Sister Pete, and we see a flashback of Keller in her office leering and trying to molest her. He asks Mukada to help him in seeking her forgiveness. Mukada is suspicious. Keller tells him he just wants to make it up to Sister Pete. He then asks Mukada to ask Pete to visit him.
