Episode Report Card Megyn: D | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Shock The Ducky
By Megyn | Season 4 | Episode 7 | Aired on 2000.08.23
Arif and Said in the supply room where they give the new inmates pillows, blankets, and razors -- and laminated Yahoo! maps directions to all the unguarded bathrooms and storage rooms where you can have all the sex you want or simply grease the bastard pissing you off that week. Arif mopes, "I have committed a great sin." Said tilts his head thoughtfully. Arif tells him they are in danger and to lead them again. "Lead us, Kareem." Kareem: "Uh, no." Arif tells him, "Stop trying to hide from who you are. From what God wants you to be!" Said tilts.
Cut to puppet show on TV, where we see a puppet rub his head against the female puppeteer's breast. Sick. And. Wrong. The guard whose name I won't know until the episode where he gets killed announces new transfers. All of the gay population, all three of them, are called to grab their Doris Day albums and Accents silicone bra pads and go movin' on up to the B side. We see Keller, Pancamo and Ryan sitting grimly. Keller says it's starting to "look pretty dark in here."
We fade to another flashback of not a new prisoner but one of Adebesi's gang, Mondo. His crime was apparently skinning a woman like a side of beef and blowing smoke in her face. Get this. He doesn't even get life for that! Can you believe it? I mean, he blew smoke in her face! All this to preface Mondo getting into a knock-down with one of the Pancamo boys, and the nameless guard hauls the white one to solitary. Pancamo is livid. We journey into Adebesi's party pod, where everyone is sporting loungewear in loud colors, and we see that not only are they videotaping with a video camera (In jail.), but they also have copious amounts of whiskey, drugs, and boys who like to do naughty pantomimes with large bananas. Large, hot bananas. I mean, the place is jumpin' with party vibes. Up walk Morales and Pancamo to discuss the recent developments in the little partnership that couldn't. Adebesi walks out in his Hawaiian shirt and briefs with the usual amused expression. Not only does he tell them that the partnership is now with the fishes, he tells them they are about to receive a one-way escort to Unit B. When? Let me think -- oh yes, right now. The guards walk up to take them away from pod 54. We then see Querns announcing Poet and Supreme Deluxe as the replacement trustees. Everybody cheers except for Ryan, Beecher, Busmalis, and Keller.
Said is in the bathroom, shaving with one of those razors that seem to be easy to find and retain in Emerald City. Adebesi walks in: "You should have joined me. I have created a Utopia for us. We finally have the power and control to do whatever we wish!" Said looks at him and places his hands on Adebesi's shoulders. Adebesi looks at his hands as though they need to be removed real quick. "Simon, this is all an illusion." Said is so trancelike when he says this it totally reminds me of Star Wars when Obi Wan waves his hand at the storm troopers and says, "These aren't the droids you're looking for." Anyway, Said continues, "Real power is from God. A bad system run by blacks is as bad as a system run by whites." Like, I say...I don't write it, I just transcribe. Adebesi: "I could crush you if I wanted." Said tells him he won't, because Said is the only one who will tell him the truth. Adebesi: "Your truth. Not mine."
