“……alive?”

With Beecher’s Parole Hearing drawing near, Pete arranges for him to meet with The Rockwells.

With Carl Jenkins dead and due to a lack of testimony, Robson is set to be released from Solitary much to Said’s annoyance. A fight between the two in the library, resulting in Said being sent to The Hole only makes matters worse as a War begins to brew amongst The Aryans and The Muslims.

Following an incident in the Cafeteria, Vahue is carrying an injury ahead of Game 2 of the Basketball Series. Rather than postpone the game, Vahue demands to play on as an NBA talent scout arrives at Oz to take a look at Dave. Could his dreams of playing in the big leagues be about to come true?

As The Homeboys continue to plot against Augustus, Edward makes a discovery, leading to Tug going to Inmates Court.

In an attempt to make his problem with Giles wanting to be stoned to death go away, Devlin arrives at Oz to try and persuade Pete to declare Giles insane so that he can transfer Giles to the Connolly Institute. Pete refuses to lie about Giles’ mental state, leading to the State Supreme Court to have the final say.

Following a frosty first meeting, Ryan comes to Padraig’s aide following another fight between Padraig, Timmy and Jim. As their new partnership begins to blossom, and after an inspirational meeting with Suzanne, Ryan seeks an answer from Gloria with regards to his escape plan. Following the outcome, Ryan looks to prove to his countryman that he is in fact “True Irish” and in it for the cause. Padraig has other ideas though.

“And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee. I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy”

McManus returns to Oz looking to settle the tension between Burr and Morales. A ceasefire is called as Augustus attempts to explain himself to Burr, but Burr casts Augustus out of the homeboys. With his plan scrapped and his troops numbers dwindling, Burr sets a ‘Search & Destroy’ mission for new podmate Edward.

Clayton is causing problems in Unit J as he continues his feud with Alvin, this time over the origins of Alvin’s surname, but now he’s having issues with Johnny now too. Seeking a break from the tensions, Johnny has a visit with his wife Abby. Things appear to go well and they arrange to bring their son to the next visit. Clayton however has other ideas for Johnny upon his return, leading to Leo hitting the bottle hard.

Beecher struggles to cope with Keller being gone from Oz. With the possibility of his Parole Hearing having a favourable outcome, as well as a blooming relationship with Katherine, a phone call with Keller brings him crashing right back down again.

As Schillinger plays with his dolls, a chance encounter with a fellow inmate leads to questions about his new granddaughter’s bloodline.

Said looks to have Robson tried along with Carl Jenkins for his attempted murder and the murder of Leroy. Feeling as though he can talk some sense into the young inmate, Said asks to meet with Carl, which is met with resistance from Leo. Finding a loophole, Said confides in Cloutier to meet with Carl instead, which raises the ire of the Aryans and Schillinger in particular.

Vahue heads to the Basketball to escape Unit B’s Rat. Being gone from the NBA has affected Vahue’s skills somewhat. Luckily for him McManus is on the scene to give him some pointers. Failing to take McManus advice (because why would he?), Vahue dismisses the man from the “White Boy City League”, leading to McManus to challenge Vahue to a Best of 3 Series on the Gym’s Basketball Court. Vahue gets saddled with Busmalis as a teammate while McManus (eventually) teams up with Dave Brass, a CO from Unit B with some skills.

As Moses execution approaches, his request to meet with those who are to receive his donated organs donated is accepted as he meets Jiffy Karras. Feeling a sense of purpose despite his impending death, Moses heads to Benchley Memorial for a routine examination.

Padraic Connelly arrives at Oz awaiting his Deportation Hearing. Ryan tries to buddy up to his fellow Irish, but Padraic prefers to be a lone wolf. After an altercation with Jimmy and Jim in the Gym, Padraic receives news about his hearing.

Ryan receives some (potentially) life changing family news from Suzanne. Things go from bad to worse following a scrap between Cyril and Jia, which leaves Jia in a coma. As McManus motions for Cyril to be transferred to the Connelly Institute, splitting the brothers and endangering Cyril “lifeline to reality”, Arif decides to finally come forward about witnessing Ryan murder Patrick Keenan. Facing the prospect of a trip to Death Row should he be convicted of Keenan’s murder, Ryan asks Gloria to help he and Cyril escape.

Also on this episode: a quick catch-up on what I’ve been up to since the last episode, Jia spends an ungodly amount of time in the Em City Cage, some questions about Oz’s Inmate Uniform Policy, McManus facilitates Omar’s return to Em City by forgiving him for the stabbing incident, what would you do in Orpheus’ position?, Master P tries to add ‘play in the NBA’ to his business empire, some poor penmanship with The Aryans, Not That John Carpenter goes for the top prize on Up Your Ante and I enlist OSW Review’s Jay hunter (“HELLOOOOO!”) with some help with McManus’ attempted Irish.

Warrior (Japanese Style Trap Beat) by Prod. Riddiman

“I’m not some candyass white liberal looking to turn you into better citizens.”

Beecher’s children, Holly and Gary, have been kidnapped. Beecher is certain that Schillinger is involved, but he has a hard time of proving it so he enlists Unit B’s Eli Zabitz to gather information. An FBI investigation is launched, with the evidence seemingly pointing the finger at Keller, who makes his return to Em City following his latest handshake with death. To make matters worse, a suspicious package arrives in the mailroom for Beecher.

Chucky dusts off his Boxing Gloves in Mobay’s latest labour in his attempt to “get in” with The Partners. Despite taking his licks, Mobay is set the ultimate final test.

Saide continues to play Amateur Lawyer as he informs the inmates involved in the Riot Lawsuit that despite the jury ruling in their favour, it’s likely to be a long time until they receive their payout. A confession from a Homicide Detective could prove beneficial to Jason’s case, but will Sadie’s conscience get the better of him?

 The new Unit Manger of Em City is revealed and their new regime is implemented, as McManus is brought back to Oz, but only if he accepts the offer to run Unit B.

El Cid and Adebisi clash about El Cid knowing about the gun, threatening the Em City Drug Trade Partnership. Leo calls Clayton into Oz to talk, but a new arrival could be the answer to Adebisi’s problem, as well as help from the most unlikely of places.

Said’s continued involvement with Jason causes friction with his fellow Muslims as Jason’s Hearing occurs, while Shirley meets with her ex-Husband asking to be buried with their daughter following her execution. This being Shirley of course means that there are mind games to be played.

Ahead of his and Cyril’s session with the Nathans and despite sharing their Calling Minutes, Ryan and Nikolai clash over the use of the cell phone as a game of Cat & Mouse ensues.

Keller returns to Oz following the Em City shooting, but neither Ray or Pete are buying Keller’s new enlightened outlook.

Beecher’s happiness at Keller’s return is short lived after receiving horrifying news regarding his children.

A tribute to Craig 'muMs' Grant, known to Oz fans as Arnold 'Poet' Jackson, who has passed away at the age of 52

“16 year old male, shot a Roman Candle out of his ass”

Jackie Payton (Edie Falco) is an overworked, underappreciated New York nurse. She can’t stand her superiors, she’s been lumped with a frustrating new trainee, and she also has one hell of a drug-habit just to make it through the day.

Jackie is a great nurse however, but are her methods justified?

Also on this episode: you got in touch with your questions, so find out who I’d like to be friends with in Oz, who’d make my Oz Survivor Series Team, and just why do I keep mentioning OJ Simpson?
