Episode 6 of "Oz"
s01e06 To Your Health

The subject of aging inmates is brought up at a staff meeting after Bob Rebadow is attacked by Kenny Wangler and has his care package stolen. The staff proposes creating a senior's cellblock for the aged but the commissioner turns the proposal down. Rebadow confesses to Groves that he wants to escape and he does. If by escape you mean fall down the stairs and end up back in the hospital bed where you started. Speaking of the elderly, the most senior Alvarez is found mumbling naked on his cell floor, suffering from Alzheimers. Sister Pete suggests that to have a better relationship with his grandfather Miguel Alvarez should assist his father, Eduardo Alvarez with taking care of his grandfather, Ricardo Alvarez, which he does. Got that? Good. Hill hates it when people say "At least you've got your health". So do I. Groves doesn't have his health. What he has is a toothache. The dentist isn't too thrilled about poking around in his infamous mouth, but Groves comes out feeling a whole lot better and, as an extra bonus, he and Scott Ross decide that maybe the tooth might be worth something to crime collectors. Beecher's humiliation continues as he is forced to perform in drag in the prison talent show. Everyone enjoys the performance except for Ryan and Sister Pete. Oh yeah, and I guess Beecher. His drug use is escalating and Sister Pete thinks it's because he thinks of himself as a victim and is allowing Schillinger to punish him. Pete arranges for Beecher to meet the mother of the girl he killed who starts out composed but ends up yelling at him while Beecher stares, stony-faced and stoned. Schillinger orders Beecher to don a shirt bearing a picture of the confederate flag and then walk through Em City. Beecher goes to Ryan for help and Ryan gives Beecher PCP. PCP + Beecher=crazy spinny camera graphics and also has the effect of making Beecher grow a spine. Toby takes a chair and throws it through Schillinger's pod, causing Schillinger to get glass in his eye and skin and prompting the majority of the inmates to chant "Beecher! Beecher!" whilst Toby goes apeshit. It's about damn time. While Beecher detoxes and thrashes in the hole, O'Reily and Schibetta have a little talk that gets Adebisi thrashing. Schibetta reassigns the cafeteria over to O'Reily, much to Adebisi's dismay. When the food staff refuse to work under O'Reily, he teams up with Adebisi with the promise that together, they can kill Schibetta by putting ground glass in his food, thereby one day inheriting his drug trade. Scariest. Partnership. Ever. Enter Jackson Vahue, NBA star extraordinaire. Hill wants to be his sponsor because he's Vahue's biggest fan, but he soon learns that Vahue is not the role model he thought him to be. Vahue won't do work detail, he doesn't care about class and he puts more stuff up his nose than a bored 5 year old with a box full of crayolas. Worst of all, he pressures 22-months straight Hill to take drugs too, sending him back into the spiral. The only person who should be taking drugs is the one refusing to, namely, Said. He doesn't take his meds for hypertension, even when Sister Pete begs him too. He wants his mind clear, which seems like a good plan considering new muslim inmate Huseni Mershah seems bent on making the Muslims a much more 'active' group. Read: violent. Said disapproves but doesn't make a big deal out of it. His heart tells him otherwise, however and when he has a heart attack, Mershaw says it is the will of Allah that he should die. Luckily for Said, the hacks must notice him because he gets rushed to the hospital. Hill offers to trade bodies with me. I politely decline.
