Episode Report Card Chuck: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Men Behaving Badly

It's the "not in real time" camera. Pancamo, on the outside and in black and white, stops his car -- vanity plate: KICBOXER (nothing but class for Pancamo) -- opens the trunk to reveal squirming body bag, opens body bag to reveal squirming woman, kisses taped-over mouth, and lobs package into water. Pancamo (a.k.a. Charlie the Enforcer) got sentenced to 35 years in 1997. Up for parole in 15.
In his office, McManus tells Pancamo and other members of the Stallion crew that Peter Schibetta will be returning to Oz. Nope, he's not in the loony bin anymore; an intensive course of therapy has cured him. From the trauma of being raped by Adebesi? The Italians are skeptical, as am I -- unwanted insertion by Adebesi, psychological ramifications aside, has got to be incredibly traumatic. Schibetta -- a small, dark, intense-looking guy -- walks into the cafeteria with the Italians and the O'Reilys, and says that the new Oz looks totally different from the old Oz. What are all these people on? Schibetta flashes back to his rear-entry nightmare -- bent over a counter, pants down, Adebesi thrusting and listening to his ever-present headphones -- as a guard knocks on the bars and tells Pancamo that the FBI wants to see him.
The Feds want to know if Pancamo knows a guy called Gaetano Sensetta; Pancamo says, "Not that I recall." And that's all he can say, as Mr. FBI keeps pushing for information about Sensetta. Seems that Sensetta recently entered the witness protection program and told authorities that Pancamo told him to kill Hank Schillinger. Pancamo looks unfazed. FBI asks if Pancamo knows Vernon Schillinger, a fellow inmate. Pancamo's response? "Not that I recall." FBI goes on the reveal that, although Chris Keller confessed to the crime, he never named the hit man and failed a polygraph test. FBI wonders why that might be the case. "Nice tie," says Pancamo. FBI finally gets the faintest hint of a response when he tells Pancamo that his next conversation will be with Vern Schillinger. Yes, indeedy, Pancamo should be nervous.
Pancamo, back in his pod, red-trimmed sweatsuit unzipped to reveal the upper section of a truly terrifying set of man-boobs, tells Beecher about recent developments. Beecher reminds Pancamo that, when he asked him to hire someone to kill Hank, Pancamo assured him that no one would ever find the body. Six months, says Beecher, is kind of different from "never"; he knows that Schillinger will castrate him when he finds out the truth. Pancamo promises that he'll take the heat since he screwed up; no one will ever know that Beecher originated the hit (yeah, right). Like me, Beecher remains unconvinced.
