In the computer room, Morales is informed that Alvarez is there to see him. Morales says he was wondering when Al was coming to see him. Alvarez looks like he's about to vomit. "A lot has happened since I escaped...Hernandez is dead." Morales: "And that makes you feel how?" Alvarez says it makes him happy. He hated Hernandez. Morales regards him. "Honesty...I like honesty -- I hear that sometimes, you're too honest." Alvarez assures him that he just wants back in, he's not challenging anybody. Morales points out Buzz, who is watching TV: "See that man over there? Kill him." Then Morales exits while Alvarez soils himself.
Hill: "Vengeance is mine, said the Lord. Now, does that mean revenge is good? That it is a holy act?" Dunno. It seems to make sense when one is drunk, I guess. Maybe when one sort of super-glues loose change to an ex-boyfriend's car. Not quarters, though. Need those for laundry.
Staff meeting. Glynn prompts Gloria, who launches into how the Wygert Corporation wants them to participate in testing a new drug they're developing. An aging drug. McManus: "I am against using prisoners as guinea pigs!" Obviously, Tim takes his guinea pigs very seriously. Gloria clarifies that participation is voluntary. Claire asks why any of the "jackasses" would volunteer...to benefit humanity? And rolls her eyes. Glynn states that Wygert contacted Governor Gremlin, who agreed to reduce sentences for participation. What's with the Governor approving everything by the time there's a staff meeting? He did the same thing with the TV crew coming to Oz. Does he ever say "no" to anything? We cut to Gloria telling the inmates. They all cheer about the sentence-reduction thing.
Back in the common room, Beecher, Busmalis, and Hill sit around the chess table discussing this recent development and how similar it is to the plot in the sci-fi flick The Ice Pirates. Okay, no, they don't, but I can't help thinking that the producers of The Ice Pirates should get a check or something. Beecher mulls the pros and cons to aging. On one hand, Holly needs him. On the other, what would it do to her to see him look older than his grandfather? Busmalis says he wants to be with Norma-not-Miss-Sally but is afraid to die. Hill doesn't apply since he's in for life. Hoyt walks by with a little Nazi friend. They are totally in and stress how they want out of Em City as they pass Said, Arif, and company, who are also discussing the drug testing. Said believes it's "immoral" and "unnatural." Arif says he would like to be with his family. In essence, the Ozlings are all a-twitter with excitement.
