Flashback of the love scene between Omar and Tim in the infirmary, where McManus growls he won't give up on Omar. Back to present, where we see Omar at the gates of Em City, waiting for McManus to arrive. Poet approaches and offers Omar some drugs. Omar declines and claims he doesn't mess around with that stuff anymore. Poet loses interest and walks away. Tim arrives, and Omar just looks so excited it makes me vomit on myself. Tim walks through the gates and Omar yips, "Hey…my man, Mack Daddy McManus, how you doin'?" and prattles on asking about the weekend, asking Tim what he did. Tim tells him he took out a Portuguese dancer on Saturday, and Omar asks if she was a stripper. McManus is like, "No, no, ballet." Omar says ballet dancers are too skinny and McManus has got to get him some stripper booty. Tim, to his credit, basically says, "See ya later." But poor, poor Omar wants to come up with him. Tim says he needs to get settled first. Omar stares at his feet, so Tim asks if there's a problem. There is, of course, so he lets Omar come up. Omar continues to talk about strippers. Cut to the staff break room, where Tim reports to Sister Pete that Omar has become "the model prisoner." Pete looks at him in an amused fashion and states, "And he's driving you crazy." Tim admits this and goes on to complain that Omar follows him everywhere "and goes on and on about nothing!" The CO next to him says, "So? Tell the jerk to beat it." Tim haughtily refuses, since it may cause his pet project to slip back into the dark drug life he once knew. The CO says, "Well, then as the French say, 'you are up shit's creek sans paddle.'"
It's time for Up Your Ante. Today's idiot savant is -- well, it turns out the "idiot" part was right. Yes…it's Tim McManus, because, you know, that's believable. His celeb helper is Tony Soprano's son. Everyone watching reacts to McManus and then begin commenting on all the good shows they're missing on cable and how hot the Sex and the City girls are. Omar tells them all to shut up so he can watch his boyfriend make an ass of himself. McManus condescends to AJ and then ignores his correct hint, so he misses the question. Everybody cracks up, and Omar gets pissed and tells everyone to not bag on McManus. Guerra makes a comment about Omar being in the same realm as gay, which freaks the homophobe out, and he goes berserk and tries to attack Guerra but only succeeds in throwing one of the other Aryans into the TV, electrocuting him. Off he goes. Later, in Tim's office, Omar tries to defend himself, but Tim claims he has to send Omar back to solitary because the warden won't listen. Omar gets all whiny: "You said you'd never give up on me…you said you'd never let them take me back!" Tim claims there is nothing he can do. Omar freaks out a bit more, calls Tim a fuck, then lurches up from his chair with his hands still cuffed behind him. A CO comes in and tells Omar to settle down. Omar kicks him in the groin. McManus attempts to stop him, and Omar kicks the crap out of Tim. He falls to the ground and Omar keeps screaming, "You lied to me!" while kicking Tim over and over. It pleases me. Kick him again! Again! HA HA HA HA! Sorry. I didn't mean that. To hit another is wrong (hee!). We cut to Omar being taken to the republic of Huru, whining the whole way.
