At Riker's Island, Madame Macabre visits her son in prison while he waits for transfer. He begs her to believe that the his case was an accident. In a bar fight, his opponent had slipped and broken his neck on a bar stool, now he was going to pay for it. Because the victim had been the mayor's son-in-law, the law was going to come down hard on him, unless his mother had a plan. She did, and at the end of her visit, she placed a kiss on her son's lips, slipping a set of lock picks into his mouth.
