Cut to Said and Arif in the lunch room. Arif tells Said that he forbids him to help Jason, the gay man in the "boy" shirt, with his mistrial. Said tells him that while he will not challenge him over leadership, he "will not subjugate his actions to [Arif's] will." Cut to Said with Jason, also known as Boy, explaining that since a member of the jury at his trial made anti-gay remarks, he could possibly get a new trial. Beecher walks up to tell Said that he heard on the news that they won their lawsuit against the state. Ryan jumps up from nowhere looking all hot and bothered, exclaiming, "What!" Beecher continues to say that the jury decided the state was responsible for the deaths after the riot. Ryan slaps Beecher five and says, "Sex is on me!" I mean, he says, "Yes!"
Hey, Said is getting a visit from Tricia. She tells him that she's moving to California, and that before she leaves, she would like to hear him tell her he loves her, even though she understands they can never be together. She says sadly, "Please, just this once, say it. Tell me you love me." Said stoically says, "No; this will make your leaving easier -- on the both of us." He gets up to leave, looking as if he will be sick, while she lets a lone tear roll down her face. Trish, looking like she needs a hug, watches him go and weeps. Cut to Said in the courtroom, as the case involving the homophobic juror vs. Jason the Boy begins. We see Said summarize the reasons for contesting the fairness of the trial, and how Mr. Christopher Jacobs made defamatory statements to the other members of the jury. As he questions Christopher, we see that it's an open and shut mistrial. Thanks, Said! We then hear the judge grant Boy his motion for a new trial. Cut to Hill, go away from Hill. During his babble, we see the gay population congratulating Boy on his success while Arif and his merry band of Muslims give Said terminal stink-eye.
We now hear the death-row crew talking. The randy fellow across from Shirley is explaining how he suffocated Antonio Nappa at the request of Chucky Pancamo. Shirley drawls, "That took bawls." Did I mention that Shirley rocks? 'Cause she does. Anyway, after hearing the guard say "lights out," we see him enter Shirley's cell; while her neighbors watch, they begin making shadow puppets behind her convenient curtain. Going back to the TV room, where Ryan happens to be hanging out, we hear them discussing how Shirley's ex-husband went "born-again" after she drowned their daughter.
