Omar pops by for a quick chat with Poet; Poet thinks he be the man with the plan, but Omar surprises him by returning the tit, untouched and complete. Omar says he came close, but then decided that he should feel the moment. See, sometimes a good beating is exactly what the doctor ordered. Smacks you right into line. Poet thinks Omar's fucking with him, but Omar says, "It's the tits that's fucking with you," and plants a kiss on Poet's forehead before walking jauntily out of the pod.
Over in the laundry room, there's trouble brewing with The Coordinated Separates Who Worship Together. Arif enters with a coterie of the beefiest Muslims as Said folds his clothes; Said correctly guesses that they have come to express concern about his continued association with The Smooth Sounds Of Omar White. Said explains that he is officially best friends with Omar, despite all that he's put him through during his recovery, because the alternative is repugnant to him. What's that mean, asks Arif, sad that he's no longer Said's official best friend, looking about twelve years ago with the upturned collar of his pale lime polo sweatshirt. Never content to stick with the issue at hand, Said guns straight ahead to big-picture territory, confirming Robson's assertion that Muslims do keep slaves. It's an aspect of the religion that Said has left largely untouched, but now he's ready to cast off his rose-colored glasses, as he explains, "Our Islamic brothers of the north, they capture our African brothers of the south, all in the name of Allah, to Islamicize the people who look like you and me." Basically, and with hats off to Arif for the encapsulation, Said now considers his "attempts at conversion a form of enslavement." Because Said's doing it for himself, not for God. Said could not abide his failure to convert Adebesi, so he killed him. Sponsoring Omar has taught Said that people should be allowed to be who they are. And that's a beautiful lesson to learn, as this week's episode of The Odd Couple comes to an end.
It's crime time in primetime. Robson, in full skinhead drag and spray-on hair, accosts a well-dressed black couple as they saunter down an empty street. Robson stabs the guy with an overtly sexual thrusting motion and then holds the blade to the cheek of the terrified woman. For assault and murder in the first degree, Robson gets a life sentence, with a chance of parole in twenty-five years. Aryans are complete fucking losers.
Robson sits down with his loser friends with a slight meal -- "nothing cold or crunchy." No, he's not on a diet, but his mouth hurts like hell. Even juice makes him wince like a baby, and forget about ice cream. A dentally aware bigot guesses recessive gums, and suggests that Robson not mess around with his mouth. Schillinger advises the avidly dentist-averse Robson to make a beeline for Dr. Feradj. Robson especially doesn't want a "sand nigger's paws probing [his] mouth," but Schillinger assures him that dentists wear gloves. Ever since that AIDS thing, you know, which just affects faggots and black women, so there's nothing to worry about anyway.
