LJ's mother and step-father are killed by Kellerman and Hale, and they plant evidence in LJ's house that implicate him in the murders. Veronica and Nick are nearly killed by an explosion in Veronica's apartment, and go into hiding, because Kellerman and Hale believe they were killed. Michael approaches Westmoreland and thanks him, but Westmoreland responds with "I didn't do it for you." The group begins by breaking through a drain in the floor and enlarging the hole so that they can fit through it. Meanwhile, while Michael and Lincoln do PI work, a fire erupts in the break room. The next day, when Westmoreland goes to deliver the coffee to the break room, he looks at a pack of Bellick's cigarettes and his lighter. Westmoreland preparing to burn down the break room. Westmoreland still doesn't cooperate, and Bellick pets Marilyn, saying ".nice cat." A while later, Westmoreland returns to his cell and finds Marilyn dead on his bunk, and spots Bellick looking down on his cell from the second level.

Bellick tells him that if he doesn't get an answer before he leaves the cell, their friendship is over. Westmoreland doesn't say anything, afraid of being considered a "snitch". Meanwhile, Bellick starts an investigation into Bob's death, and upon hearing rumors that he died outside of Westmoreland's cell, he goes to question him. Michael approaches him with his cat (who ran away during the riots), but he refuses to help. They have to convince Westmoreland, who is a trustee (and thus has access to the break room freely), to help them burn it down.

Michael finds out a storage room, fundamental to the escape because it is the only building directly over the pipes, has been converted into a break room for the guards, and the team must find a way to set it on fire so that Abruzzi can get them assigned to PI work there.
