Four days later, Scott returned to work in the prison after being discharged from the hospital. The guards welcomed him back with open arms, and he felt grateful for their happiness.

Tavon: I heard that white boy just got out of prison and went back to his job.

Carlos: No shit.

Tavon: Uh-huh. I heard he had a car accident because we saw the news. When all rumors are true, the police can do what the fuck they want to help him recover. Guards and cops are all different but not the same, bruh.

Carlos: *hearing*

Tavon: *chilling in the cell and reads the magazine*

Carlos: *looks at him*

As Minnie and Amy head to the university, Minnie guides Amy since she is still at the community college. Upon arriving in front of the building, they get off the bus, and as they enter, Minnie gives her a tour.

Amy: This is nuts.

Minnie: I know; more than nuts after you take over. Don't get too much exciting about this shit.

Amy: I would've worried if this class took it too far.

Minnie: It's tough, but you have to keep studying while you're in the room; there is no stopping.

Amy: *hearing*

Minnie: That's the truth.

Amy: I hope you will make up the truth.

Minnie: I swear, this ain't no joke. 

Amy: But you've already given it a chance to attend college since you got there.

Minnie: I got everything because some people needed their money after earning the credits for the class and getting the checks for the semester, or you could get a GED.

Amy: Shit. It should be a lot easier for me.

Minnie: *hearing*

After getting out of the car, Susan and Mark entered the garden center. They began exploring various beautiful plants as they arrived, moving apart to examine the options they found appealing.

Mark: *hearing*

Susan: It looks beautiful.

Mark: Living alone. *talking himself*

Susan: Mark, did you see the nice one over there?

Mark: I see it.

Susan: You ain't too looking hard enough; it's far.

Mark: Let me walk around briefly; I'm almost there.

Susan: No worries.

Carlos and Tavon sat across from each other at the table, surrounded by other inmates. Carlos watched Griffin as he chatted with others until he noticed someone walking around, stealing lunch.

Later, Sandra sits alone in the cop car, watching the others as they prepare to vote. Wes takes charge, directing people to cast their votes. As Sandra looks at him, she changes the radio station but stops when she hears Veronica's song. She keeps it on, captivated by Veronica's voice.

Radio announcer: That was "Stand by You" by Veronica Paige. Her vocal intensity was incredible! I loved it so much that I wished to play the song again and share it with my family—no lie.

Sandra: *turning the radio down and wipes her tears until she continues driving*

As Erin drove through Queens on her way to a meeting with her company, she noticed Katie walking on the sidewalk. Katie was busy spray painting graffiti and had her spray can in hand. It doesn't matter whether the gang came around on her, as she didn't care what she sprayed on the wall a few times since she did it until she saw the few gangs getting involved.

Zero ordered two coffees and gave one to Tabitha. They sat at the table to have a conversation with each other about whether Tabitha was drinking the coffee during Zero's talks.

Zero: Is it now? But I would instead get ready for the campaign if I win.

Tabitha: What if you don't win? What's the worst that can happen?

Zero: *drinks* Shit, I need to figure it out of different things.

Tabitha: *hearing*

Zero: Somebody else holding me back that didn't give up on voting some more.

Tabitha: You would especially take a chance to get into the campaign.

Zero: I am. *keeps drinking*

The next day, Carlos mopped on the floor in prison; the guard ordered him to do everything in the room, as he felt a little tired a bit and took a break for a minute until Scott came and checked up on him.

Scott: Are you OK?

Carlos: I did everything.

Scott: I see only a tiny spot remaining. You're not one to give up, Carlos. You need to stay strong; you've been diligently cleaning every day.

Carlos: I ain't never let myself go. I wasn't no robbery.

Scott: *hearing*

Carlos: The cops kept playing tricks on everybody because they saw black people.

Scott: I get that, buddy. When I heard three years ago, Everything that happened in New York involved the boys in Central Park and rape allegations against a white woman.

Carlos: *hearing*

Scott: This town is no joke. This is some serious business.

Carlos: *kept hearing* I'm sorry for them, but the police are making them blame.

Scott: I understand. Keep working; I'm proud of you.

Carlos: Thanks, Scott. *quietly and watching him leave*

Teresa: How are you feeling?

Niall: I-I just need a break. I know how I can feel. I had to figure this shit out before the guys would step up to me the next day.

Teresa: They needed you to assume control of the city.

Niall: That's what I need. That's because I was the one who took over to the different corner, but I only see you chilling in this beautiful outside.

Teresa: I know. Before I met you, you were flawless.

Niall: Well, look me in your fucking eyes right now.

Teresa: *looks at him*

Eddie and Veronica: *kissing and cuddling in the bed*

Eddie: What do you think? I feel that I should make your album.

Veronica: Even though my album is ready, this doesn't mean that I haven't been nominated yet.

Eddie: Making compromise.

Veronica: I need something perfect; I need it now.

Eddie: You have to slow it down. I'll still be working on it; you made a promise.

Veronica: Everything is coming between us, and it seems you want to be my manager now.
