Ronnie gets questioned by the FBI about Keller and his interest in young boys. Ronnie doesn't answer any of the pointed questions until the guy offers him a deal. They'll reduce his thirteen-year sentence to five if he rats Keller out. Now Ronnie is listening.
Everyone watching "Up Your Ante!" in the common room, looking bored and listless. I think I'm over the game-show thing and want the puppets back. Maybe they should get cable. Ronnie sneaks up to Beecher and confirms that Beecher's a lawyer. Then he asks Beecher for help. Beecher, miffed: "I don't do pro bono ." Ronnie offers to "pay" him in other ways (wink wink). He whispers about the "deal" he was just offered. He wants to know that it's legit. Then they run off to do stuff.
Beecher finds Keller in the library and sits down. "Keller." Keller looks up: "Oh, we talking now? I thought we were just fucking with each other." "Ronnie is about to sell you out." Keller doesn't believe it. He says Beecher is jealous. Beecher insists. Keller: "You're a goddamned liar!" Beecher: "Believe what you want --- write me from death row."
The storage room, or the killing fields, as it were, since everyone dies in here and yet people still have unsupervised access to the damn room. Keller and Ronnie talk while moving computers around. Keller sets 'em up. "I hear you been telling stories." Ronnie asks what he's talking about. Keller clarifies about the FBI and his young-boy fetish. Ronnie gets all earnest and promises he didn't tell them anything. Keller looks at him for a minute: "If you swear than that's good enough for me." He hugs him and then asks him to get on down there. Ronnie, still convincing him: "I would never sell you out." And down he goes. During which Keller sort of talks to himself, although it's directed at Ronnie. "Maybe I killed all those guys because I wanted to kill the part of me I despise." I'm sure he didn't mean to rhyme. As Ronnie, uh, "finishes," Keller snaps his neck, and poor Brian Bloom falls to the floor, blue eyes staring at nothing.
Hill: "Revenge is the highest compliment you can pay someone. You're basically saying, you affected my life so much, I must affect yours as you did mine." So THAT'S why the episode is titled "Revenge Is Sweet." Golly, thanks, anvil man!
Next week, we get to see who gets really old, really fast. I hope. To. God. It's a better show than this one. Stupid itchy daytime soap writers. Ptooey!
