Convicted after raping Gloria Nathan, Keenan goes to Unit B. Timmy Kirk introduces him to O'Reily. Keenan says he raped Doctor Nathan just for fun. After many fights with Keenan, Henry Stanton is put into Protective Custody with Cyril O'Reily. At Unit B, Keenan keeps fighting, this time with Biker Jaz Hoyt. In the gym, O'Reily asked Keenan to tell about Doctor Nathan's rape. While Keenan was talking, O'Reily, using gloves to not leave evidence, took a weight and hits Keenan's head several times, until he died, unaware that Muslim inmate Zahir Arif watched the scene hidden.

Guilty, Zahir Arif told Kareem Said the true about Keenan's death. They talked to Glynn, but, as no one has any evidence, the case was closed. Stanton was released from the solitary and asked O'Reily who lied to Glynn about Keenan's death. O'Reily told Stanton that Montgomery did it. Angry, Stanton got a pencil and stabbed Montgomery in the neck. Montgomery was sent to Benchley Memorial and became unable to talk. Then, O'Reily sent Keenan's necklace to Doctor Nathan.
