Velez (Christopher Rivera) tries to kill Guerra (Otto Sanchez) for Alvarez (Kirk Acevedo), but ends up dead himself, leaving Alvarez feeling guilty. A new guide dog training program begins at Oz, run by Alicia Hinden (Toni Lewis). Alvarez, Hill (Harold Perrineau Jr.), and Penders (John Lurie) volunteer, and each is assigned to take care of a dog. Brass (Blake Robbins) tells Rebadow (George Morfogen) he bought the lottery ticket. Brass is attacked by Martinez (Carlos Leon), who throws a cup of all his bodily excretions in the guard's face. When a bloodied Martinez is brought to the hospital unit, he gropes Dr. Nathan (Lauren Velez) and she beats on him some more.

Convicted rapists Adam Guenzel (Mike Doyle) and Franklin Winthrop (Andy Powers) come to Oz, and it turns out Beecher knows Guenzel from their old suburban neighborhood. The Aryans quickly turn Winthrop into their "prag," but Beecher is determined to protect Guenzel, and asks the Sicilians for help.
