Episode 50 of "Oz"
s06e02 See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Smell No Evil

The much-missed (well, by some of us) Shirley Bellinger is our guest narrator this week, and discusses the senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight, and common. The lockdown which had been caused by racial tension is ended. Beecher finds out about his father's murder, but can't go to the funeral. A prisoner Beecher didn't even know is found with the shank in his cell, and promptly arrested. Beecher is convinced Vern had the crime arranged. Meanwhile, the racist mayor is sent to Oz because Devlin's stupid remarks and the ensuing riots made pardoning impossible. Devlin ensures that he is put in the safest unit, J, with Beecher and Alvin Yood, and warns Glynn that he will burn Oz to the ground if anything happens to his friend. Vern, who was helped out by the mayor many times in his life, is worried Beecher will kill him, and dispatches a cleaned-up Winthrop to dole out a warning. Instead, Winthrop witnesses Beecher saving his life after he was choking on his lunch. Vern promises not to interfere with Beecher's parole hearing. Beecher, to his astonishment, is paroled, but has to wait a few days until the paperwork goes through. Keller learns from Lopresti that his lawyer is dead and Beecher is leaving, and is none too thrilled. The remaining solitary inmates are violently ill... Gloria discovers that the substances used to rebuild Oz have wafted into solitary and caused them permanent organ and possibly mental damage. Martinez has severe liver problems and Gloria wants to send him to Benchley Memorial Hospital, but Glynn says no. She tries to keep him in the infirmary for a while longer. Brass, who is now a guard again for no apparent reason, tells Martinez he's going to find out who paid Martinez to cut his tendons. Morales asks Murphy for a transfer to the infirmary, and Murphy says nogo and gives Morales a similar threat. To Guerra's horror, Morales says he may have to kill Martinez. Timmy Kirk stares in the mirror as he swears to Satan, freaking Cyril, Keller, and Hoyt out. Father Mukada visits death row to exorcise Kirk. Timmy claims it's too late to be saved and plans to go to the cops and the archdiosese about how Mukada fondled him. Timmy and the others are distracted from their various personal plots and crises by the news that McManus' ex-wife (thankfully less shrewish this time around) has arranged for them to do a death row fashion shoot for Maxim magazine! Really makes sense, huh? Next thing you know they'll make them all take aging pills. Anyway, Keller, Hoyt, Cyril, and Kirk have lots of fun, until Hoyt seizes the opportunity to get his long-awaited revenge. He shoves a lighting fixture down Timmy's throat, and Lassie can't save him from a brutal death. Hoyt leaps back in shock after he is finished with the murder, and he's dragged away by guards. Ray has been cleared of all suspicion, but sadly reveals to Sister Pete that he had earlier prayed for Kirk to die. Busmalis still refuses to see Norma, who had shown up last season pregnant with another man's child after standing Busmalis up at the altar. Rebadow and Stella get closer as she reveals she wants to help prisoners because she taught a neighborhood thief to read in juvie, he was stabbed to death, and she didn't want to give up the dream. Rebadow tries to help the other inmates love literature, but they're more interested in pop-up books and using tomes as toilet paper. McManus wants to turn Hill's notes into a book. Said has already contacted his publisher, but doesn't know how Redding feels about the idea. Redding is too busy muttering incoherently in the meditation maze to pay attention to reality, or the fact that his homeboys are contemplating killing him. When a new opportunity to have a legit business arrives in Oz (telemarketing), Redding wakes up from his coma and decides this is a great way for him and his boys to earn money without breaking the law. Said accompanies him, but backs out when he learns that the woman in charge will be paying much less than minimum wage. Redding doesn't care and is appointed foreman. Said skips around the maze and looks to Allah for inspiration. Miguel, wary of his parole hearing arriving in 3 years, refuses Morales' attempts to convince him to spy on Redding's gang. Miguel's mother visits and they share harsh words about her never coming to visit him and him always being in solitary or escaping. After making up, he asks her if she can get his ex-love Maritza (the one who had his baby which died shortly after birth) to come see him. She feels only Miguel himself should ask that question, so he calls and leaves a long, tortured message on Maritza's answering machine. Peter Schibetta smirks at Ryan in the gym and tells him he was responsible for Father Meehan's death... Meehan gave him his rosary, he gave it to his wife, his wife gave it to her grandmother, who knows about the evil eye and curses. Schibetta boasts that he will do the same to everyone Ryan loves, and eventually Ryan himself. Ryan has to be restrained from attacking him. Panicking, Ryan puts a bug in Pancamo's ear that Schibetta has put curses on both of them and is probably the reason Pancamo nearly died from his stab wound. Later, Schibetta ends his rehearsal for the Macbeth role to visit his wife. Right after he leaves, Suzanne realizes her car keys are missing. Ryan tries to stop Schibetta from putting a curse on his mother, but the guard won't let him through the bars. Meanwhile, Schibetta is walking to the visiting area when Pancamo and the mafiosos block his path. After a kiss on each cheek, they kill him. Glynn discovers Peter's eye ripped out, and Pancamo tosses Ryan his car keys. Looks like Ryan lucked out, for now. Looking at Meehan and Schibetta, the moral here seems to be: If you play Macbeth, you won't live out the week! Robson is nearly attacked by Pancamo and shunned by the Brotherhood. Biker/Aryan Cutler promises to protect Robson if Robson becomes his bitch. After a long talk with Sister Pete about his abusive childhood and how he has to do anything to survive, Robson agrees. He licks a spoon, drops his pants, and as his screams draw the closing credits out of hiding, the spoon is shoved inside his rectum.
