War of the Redwood Seats - Episode 11

Mr. Vaughn unexpectedly appears at the prison, prompting Warden Holt to fawn and scramble after guards release a man—Keith—without processing forms. Holt alternates between awe and discomfort as Vaughn insists he's not leaving and claims he wants a quiet life. When Holt confronts Vaughn about his recent closeness to Keith, the warden admits Vaughn pulled strings for an early release. Vaughn downplays it, but Holt warns that 'loose lips can be trouble.' The episode ends with Holt uneasy: Vaughn's influence and the rushed release of Keith hang open as a concrete, unresolved risk.
