Cyril O'Reily
Season 4 Part I
### Season 4 Part I

The lockdown ends and Cyril is having nightmares over Khan's death. Ryan suggests [psychotherapy](/wiki/Psychotherapy "Psychotherapy") with prison psychologist "[Sister Pete](/wiki/Sister_Pete "Sister Pete")" Reimondo, who thinks interaction sessions with the families of Cyril's murder victims is the best way to clear his [conscience](/wiki/Conscience "Conscience"). The only family willing to participate in the interaction sessions is the Nathan family. [Sister Pete](/wiki/Sister_Pete "Sister Pete") demands that Ryan participate as well, as he ordered Preston's murder.

In the interaction sessions, Cyril expresses his remorse and the Nathan parents express their anger. Ryan, however, turns the tables on the Nathans when he suggests that Gloria Nathan cheated on her husband during a temporary separation. As a result, the relationship between Dr. Nathan and Ryan becomes increasingly hostile. In Em City, Cyril is later attacked by inmates [Leroy Tidd](/wiki/Leroy_Tidd "Leroy Tidd") and [Mondo Browne](/wiki/Mondo_Browne "Mondo Browne"), who threaten to rape him. Cyril, however, beats the both of them and is then sedated with a large dose of [Haldol](/wiki/Haldol "Haldol") by an angry Dr. Nathan. Ryan and [Simon Adebisi](/wiki/Simon_Adebisi "Simon Adebisi"), the leader of the Homeboys, then warn Tidd and Browne to stay away from Cyril. Dr. Nathan is raped in the meantime and she believes Ryan is responsible, punishing him by cutting off Cyril's treatment. With the help of Sister Pete, Ryan convinces Dr. Nathan that he wasn't responsible, and as a result she resumes Cyril's treatment.

In the midst of this, Em City is undergoing a demographic shift that worries Ryan, [Chris Keller](/wiki/Chris_Keller "Chris Keller") and some other white inmates. The new unit manager, [Martin Querns](/wiki/Martin_Querns "Martin Querns"), an [African American](/wiki/African_American "African American"), has empowered the Homeboys to do whatever they wish in exchange for enforcing a state of non\-violence in Em City. Consequently, more and more black inmates and guards are transferred in, replacing their white and Latino counterparts. [Claire Howell](/wiki/Claire_Howell "Claire Howell"), one of the few white officers left, then develops a sexual relationship with Ryan which is discovered by Cyril. Concerned that Cyril will talk, Ryan brings Cyril to Sister Pete for counseling, telling her Cyril is "seeing things". Meanwhile, Ryan and Keller murder two inmates as a means of getting Querns fired and McManus reinstated. With the help of Muslim leader [Kareem Said](/wiki/Kareem_Said "Kareem Said"), they obtain videotaped evidence showing the prohibited behavior that the Homeboys are being allowed to commit, forcing Warden Glynn to fire Querns.
