Hey, Sister Pete gives out some good advice for once! Yay for her!
Oh, I know, I probably shouldn't be so hard on her. After all, she was the one who treated Toby (even though we never got to see any of it) after he went crazy after the riot, so I guess she's capable of giving decent professional help. (Although I suspect that falling in love with Chris had more to do with restoring Toby's sanity than Pete's therapy.)
Maybe he and Keller should make this dick-measuring contest literal.
Yes, YES! DO IT. ;D
You've seen all sorts of dark corners of Toby's psyche - hell, ya carved a few of 'em.
That was a great line-- guilt normally doesn't work on Chris, but in this case, considering how Toby is Chris's Achilles heel, it just might. That whole conversation between Chris and Sean was great. It's so rare that we get a peek at Chris's real thoughts behind his mask, and it's so satisfying when it happens. And Sean delivers not just a little surprise, but actual shock there at the end. Nice.
And good for Sean to resist giving into temptation! I hope he can find some great sex with somebody who he doesn't have to worry about shanking him when it's over.
Yeah, Sister Pete does okay sometimes. I mean, sure, after seeing her straight, vulnerable charge singing in prison-bitch drag at the talent show, her diagnosis was that he just isn't ashamed enough, and sure, she thinks a junkie, thoroughly unprepared and without a sobriety check, should be sent to meet the also-unprepared mother of the child he killed. And sure, she couldn't step up when Toby's son was kidnapped and mutilated and murdered just because Chris made her horny... But she gives out some good advice, too.
Oh, you know how I feel about dick-measuring contests. They should happen as often and as literally as possible.
Yes, it's a very, very small sliver of Chris's brain that seems to be available for a conscience, and I think you'd have to hit him just the right way at just the right moment, but I think when he's locked himself in the hole to avoid Toby is probably exactly that moment.
That conversation was fun to write. I love the 'dumb mug' persona that Sean wears for prisoners - nobody ever thinks he's stupid but it's a really inoffensive way to get them to do what he wants. (Come to think of it, he uses that persona for Tim pretty often, too.)
I think if there's one takeaway from this story, it's that Sean needs a healthier sex life. :-D
