They all seem unsure while Olivia is worried that Mellie’s dream could be taken away.
Cyrus is desperate for a pen and paper. He asks a prisoner across the way what he needs to do to get one. The prisoner tells him he needs a belt more – he should be thinking ahead to when he can no longer take living in a cell.
During his indoor exercises, Cyrus tries to reason with the guard. He just wants a pen and paper. When he doesn’t respond, Cyrus threatens him. He knows he is a drug mule. Maybe he should tell his supervisor. Or maybe he can teach him how to shake the gang down that has him doing illegal things.

Cyrus gets brought to the hospital. Michael shows up. He sits by his side. Olivia is also there. They tell Cyrus that Tom has recanted his story. Cyrus is free. Days later he is sworn in as the president! Cyrus is in the oval office, looking around. Mellie tells him he has to go. She doesn’t want blood on her carpet. The whole thing was a dream. Cyrus comes to on the ground outside the prison.
