wow, reading "Mackenzie-Childs" brought back memories! I remember visiting their home base way back in the '90's and that was one eclectic place -- especially the restrooms.
I had trouble getting into this episode too, too much that was predictable. Of course they, Will and Faith, have to go to the prison to talk to Greg Germann/Ullster, of course there is another evil plot that happens and ...DUN DUN DUN!!!! there's a prison "uprising, riot, escape attempt" and the totally recognizable warden (C. Thomas Howell, I will always recognize Pony Boy, no matter how gray and mustached you are) will have some involvement in said plot/is a total hardass/gets killed/fill in your own prison trope.
