Rolled out of bed with a Halloween hangover, read this while nursing sequential cups of tea. Oh, Sam. I second everyone else who's already commented, this reminds me heavily of the prison scenes in American Gods. I think the show really dislikes referencing Neil's time in prison, perhaps to appeal to a wider audience.

A tad confused by the paper crane that Neal spits out at the end...his protection? The remnants of a curse? What he used to give himself the flu?
