## Synopsis

*Mike leverages a favor with the new powers in charge. Bunny finds himself short on patience as Anchor Bay becomes increasingly volatile. Kyle and Mike have a heart to heart. Robert gets some troubling news.*

## Plot

In Anchor Bay prison, Bunny has been thrown into solitary confinement, aka the kill box, while the Mexican crime boss has been brutally murdered. Once again, Mike has no control on the inside, and the gangs are at war. The corrupt correctional officers continue to assert their authority. Head correctional officer, Davidson, frees an inmate and lets them loose on their unsuspecting rivals. The inmate attacks his enemies, killing one and stabbing Raphael in the shoulder. Fortunately, they manage to disarm this rival before further bloodshed.

Mike steps up his game on the outside, applying further pressure to the high-ups in the system. He calls Kareem, but the correctional officer only oversees the prisoner transfers; he has no actual control there, either. Mike asks for details on the head guard and a visitor’s pass to communicate with Bunny in person. He then meets up with the regulars at the local cafe. It looks like Robert is in trouble after the riots, and Kyle has a surprise for Mike.

Kyle passes Mike a hefty duffel bag in the car park containing Milo’s fortune. Kyle stole the bonds from the police station’s evidence room. This gobsmacks Mike. Of course, he doesn’t compliment his brother, advising him to stay out of trouble instead. Kyle says he wiped the cameras and he was careful. Again, Kyle wonders if he will be a good father, and Mike reassures him that he will make a great dad.

Next, they drive to Davidson’s home. Mike wants to speak with the head correctional officer in person. He tells Davidson to back off of Bunny and to leave him alone. Davidson feels threatened and squares up to Mike. The Mayor says he isn’t looking for a fight, but Davidson isn’t listening. He pushes Mike backward. Kyle rushes in with a loaded gun, punching Davidson and pressing the weapon into his face. Mike reiterates the warning not to mess with Bunny.

While Kyle may be stepping up and helping his brother, inside, he is falling apart. He spends the rest of the day building countless sheds in the garden and then returns home reeking of booze after threatening Davidson. Mariam is concerned and takes her son aside, but he promises her everything is good.

After Mike’s hostile threats, Bunny is taken out of solitary confinement, and straight away, he is sent to speak with Mike, although in secret. Bunny’s had time to think, and now that he is out of the kill box, he wants to run this prison.

Mike urges him to stay quiet, annoyed that they killed the Mexican. Bunny defends himself, stating that Mike wasn’t helping him, so he had to go at it alone and take charge. Mike repeats the tired line that he’ll get Bunny out, but the Crips leader has had enough. He even brings up incomplete information about having to protect Mike, which is a complete surprise to the Mayor. Bunny won’t reveal who was after him.

Elsewhere in Kingstown, Mariam meets up with a juvenile detention center inmate called Jacob. He explains to her that his lawyer managed to make a deal. If he is good, then he will be out in a year. Jacob worries that with the pressures of the gangs, he won’t be able to make it. He asks Mariam to put in a good word with Mike. Jacob needs Mike’s help with the gangs or in getting him transferred. Mariam agrees to help.

Left with little another choice, Mike is forced to play dirty. He barges into a meal between Evelyn and DA Lockett. Mike is furious that the DA hasn’t held up his side of the deal and demands he frees Bunny immediately. The District Attorney flippantly disregards Mike’s demands, adding that he is talking about dangerous criminals. Deals can be broken so it doesn’t matter. The DA’s laid-back attitude dumbfounds Mike. He brings out the big guns, inferring that Milo Sunter is still alive and out in society, causing no end of chaos. Mike negotiates with the DA. He will give him information on Milo and help get him arrested if he signs the paperwork and frees Bunny.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise on the inside. Kareem is informed that an inmate whom he had severely beaten has now died due to the trauma he underwent. Carney is ensuring that Kareem stays out of trouble, though, intent on sweeping this death under the rug. Bunny returns to his prison duties and catches up with Raphael. Crime boss Gunner informs Bunny that the inmate who attacked Raphael was a lone wolf; it wasn’t part of the gang’s plans. To prove their allegiance, this inmate is taken care of horrifyingly, losing both hands in a mechanical accident.

Later, Bunny calls up Mike. Bunny states that he has cleared a path for Mike; he wants out.

Elsewhere, one of the DAs leaving his place of work. In an underground car park, the DA is shot to death by a masked individual.
