Glynn's office. Two guards stand behind Schillinger as Glynn informs him that they found the body of one Hank Schillinger, complete with a bullet in his head. Schillinger denies it. He insists it's a mistake. "Hank is not dead, he has this cute little wife, they're going to have a baby…" His voice trails off as he absorbs it all. Then he flips out and yells, "Hank's is not dead!" and the guards start after him as Glynn just holds up his hands as if to say, "Hey, I didn't do it." Schillinger stomps out. Back in his cell, Robson reminds him that Hank was involved in all sorts of stuff that would have gotten him killed. Schillinger looks at him: "This is you consoling me?" Robson goes on to say that he thinks it's Beecher, that Beecher hasn't "retaliated" so far because the revenge had already been exacted. Which makes me wonder why Robson wasted Schillinger's time going over all the reasons others might want Hank dead. He succeeds in pissing Vern off; he begins to pace, stopping only to declare that he will "kill [Beecher's] daughter…I'll kill his whole family." They leave and walk to the lunchroom; Dylan walks up and offers his condolences to Schillinger, who thanks him irritably. Dylan proposes that they pray together. "How does the saying go, reverend? There's a time to be born, a time to die, a time for every purpose under heaven?" Dylan nods. "Well, the time for praying is over." Schillinger holds up his hand when Dylan begins to protest, and walks away. Robson pushes Dylan to prevent him from going after Schillinger: "Leave the man alone." Robson just loves that his boyfriend's back and there's gonna be some trouble.
Next we see Keller slide in next to Rebadow as he eats. "Where's Beecher…this stuff is going down fast." Rebadow tells him Beecher's having a play date with Holly. Keller swoops off.
Cut to the room for the traumatized and dysfunctional; as Beecher plays with Holly, Robson approaches Beecher's brother as he waits outside the room. "You Beecher's brother?" Given the history of violence, he stupidly says, "Yes," which gets him a stick in the ribs. Robson runs off, and the bloody hand of "oh shit" bangs on the glass to alert Beecher. Beecher grabs his daughter, rather than leaving her in the room, and goes to check on his brother.
"Then there's the Don Juan. A bedspring, straightened at the end. It makes a smaller wound, but goes much deeper."
As the stabbed brother is wheeled out of the infirmary, Beecher tells his father to take Holly away. His dad looks at him grimly: "She's in danger again?" Well, duh. That's affirmative. Roger that. Beecher asks if he understands. "Yes Toby, I understand, but I'm not sure she will…talk to her." Beecher walks over and tells Holly that Grandpa is going to take her on a "long trip," and when she gets back they will "be together forever." He hugs her.
