Synopsis: | ||
Friction is growing in the wake of two deaths--first Ortolani and now Johnny Post--so Wiseguy leader Schibetta, Said, and Gangbanger Jefferson Keane are brought together by Warden Glynn, who tells them to keep their boys quiet or else he'll lock the prison down. The tension increases following a visit from Governor Devlin, who was responsible for the ban on smoking and conjugal visits. Meanwhile, Keane has found God--just as a couple of Latinos with a grudge find him; Beecher looks into O'Reily's appeal and Ryan gets him high; Devlin sends in the FBI to investigate the murders; Alvarez's wife gives birth. | ||
